Biden Was Bribed and Is a Traitor
I am posting this podcast because I think it is one of the best breakdowns of the massive, incredible bribery scheme of the Biden Crime Family. I have recently started listening to this podcast with Ted Cruz and it is solid as a rock.
I have been listening to the Bongino podcast for some time and it is also highly recommended, as it is always loaded with valuable content and analysis. This one, however, in my humble opinion, is an exceptional survey of the actual evidence in support of the proposition that there seems to be no more doubt that the family—like something out of The Godfather—was bribed … maybe in sums approaching $50 million when it is all added up.
Here it is, and I cannot recommend it too highly.
I cannot put in words what I think of the “voters” who put this criminal in the Oval Office- at least not in words suitable for polite company.
Fifty Million Dollars. And they wonder why “Rich Men North of Richmond” hit #1 overnight? This is why.
God Help Us.

I don’t disagree, but . . . what can we-the-people do about it when our leaders don’t do anything about it?
They are investigating it. I personally think they already have enough to bring impeachment proceedings. They already have far more than the democrats had for Trump’s initial impeachment. In fact we can see that Trump not only should have never been impeached the first time, but had valid and legitimate concerns for investigating the Biden’s activities in Ukraine. I think they will eventually launch an impeachment of Biden, but they know they don’t have the media so they want to build an airtight case first. Unfortunately we have to accept that a Republican congress is always going to be more timid than a democratic one, because the democrats can count on the MSM to protect them.
Absolutely true.
I expect nothing less than a sternly-worded letter. And, sadly, nothing more.
I think they will talk themselves into impeaching Joe. He won’t get removed in the Senate. Democrats will vote in lockstep to save him even if they have a video tape of him taking a bribe.
It only takes 1 Senator to gum up the works. Are they all cowards? Maybe Cruz could spend 24 hours on the Senate floor going over all the Biden crimes. Heck, Senators are allowed to lie, so he should make stuff up connecting the dots.
I want to provide another data point to the weakness of the GOP. Nikki Haley said that “Ukraine is our friend” during last week’s debate. That is a lie. Ukraine is a friend of the Democrat party and messes with our elections, which friends of America do not do. How many leaders in the GOP consider a “friend of the DNC” as a friend of theirs?
[Premature comment – I need to watch the video first.]
Minor correction: Democrat Senators are allowed to lie on the Senate floor. I’m not sure Republicans are given the same dispensation.
I watched part of the video, and found it quite unconvincing. Cruz is playing an interesting game here, being pretty careful about what he says himself, while leaving the other guy to make allegations that aren’t well supported by the facts.
As to your summary, Jim, I think that it’s just plain sloppy. You’re a lawyer. You should know to be more careful. This case still seems built on innuendo.
The big problem is this part:
“[T]he family” ain’t the President. Only Joe Biden is the President. Payments to his son are not a bribe.
To prove this case, you need to connect the dots.
Do you think that you have enough evidence, right now, to satisfy your Rule 11 obligation as an officer of the Court in bringing accusations that President Biden himself — not someone else, but he himself — received any bribe? Personally, I don’t think so.
What I’ve seen is increasingly sloppy, frankly. This is not from you, it is just an example. People are critical of the fact that some investment company owned or started by Hunter Biden received money transfers from China. So what? An American company can receive investments from China, right? What were the payments for? Were assets purchased? No such details are provided, just insinuation.
It is possible that there is wrongdoing here. My impression is that the Congressional committee is doing pretty good work on the issue, but that they’re being careful and actually trying to prove a case.
I’m very mindful of the carelessness of accusations against President Trump, from the original Russia hoax, to the Ukraine phone call, to January 6. Let’s not do the same thing in reverse.
Finally, dealing with the early part of the video, there are claims about the statements of the former Ukrainian investigator who was fired, who essentially claimed that he was doing nothing wrong. I very much doubt this. My recollection is that there were complaints about this prosecutor failing to root out corruption from various Western organizations, before he was fired.
I’m curious how much evidence you require. It seems that Hunter Biden – along with other members of the Biden family including grandchildren?!?!?! – was receiving $50,000 per month or more, a good chunk of which was then paid to Joe and/or Jill as “rent” on that house where Hunter was staying along with Joe’s Corvette and a stash or several stashes of classified documents which would have been accessible to any stripper or Chinese or other foreign agent Hunter might have had “visiting.”
Is there any point at which you would believe Joe was actually bribed, or would you require a signed and notarized confession?
Would you believe Joe was bribed if Hunter was paying $1 Million a month for “rent?”
The Democrats are playing a strange game.
I have never seen such an abundance of indisputable evidence of corruption–and it keeps growing. And the response has been an unprecedented, embarrassingly unprofessional media blackout and absurd denial from pondscum like Jamie Raskin. Trying to keep this controlled until the election strikes me as an impossibility. The entire country sees them making stuff up to charge Trump while burying actual crimes by the Bidens.
Biden’s record sucks, he is not likable nor respected and the growing baggage of corruption threatens political careers if he takes the party down in flames. The GOP needs to impeach just to establish the contrast between trying to impeach Trump for reaching out to Ukraine for evidence of Biden malfeasance versus impeaching Biden for that actual malfeasance.
But if it continues to break badly, how does the Dem leadership take the stroll down Pennsylvania Avenue to tell Joe it’s over when that would make Willie Brown’s former arm candy the POTUS? The fact that replacing a mentally impaired mediocrity like Biden with Harris is actually a cognitive step down is striking. But if they do that, they will need to do two things (a) come up with a theory as to why Harris is so tainted by her association with/defence of Biden that she cannot be nominated to run and (b) scream that all criticism of her is racist to keep the black vote on the reservation while they dump her.
My guess is that the vast majority of elected Dems would be delighted to dump Joe for Newsome. But Newsome can’t be the one to call for his ouster. Some major media figure and some credible Democrats from solidly blue states need to make the call that Joe has to go. Schumer may have to play Tessio to Newsome’s Barzini.
Pass the popcorn.
Joe or Newsom, . . . either would be awful for this country.
Are there any sane Democrats? Why not replace Biden with one of those?
If only FJB were just a movie studio executive or something like that.
No. They don’t exist.
Right. If they were sane, they wouldn’t be Democrats.
At this point, I don’t believe that Biden gives a rip. Since he stocked his administration with Obama holdovers, they are carrying out the wishes of the Progressives so all Joe needs to do is take his vacation(s) and watch the carnage.
Still, it’s head-scratching (and sometimes hilarious) to see KJP coming out with her usual crap such as “…the man has so much energy that the rest of us can’t keep up with him…”.
I mean, these people can’t really believe that. So they’re lying to us. We know they’re lying to us. They know we know they’re lying to us. Yet they keep lying.
Why?
As a demonstration of power.
Jerry, the following observations are made with respect, as always. I will get to your personal insult in a moment, after covering what I note as a pattern of yours and I have refrained from commenting on it up to now but, as you have now chosen to insult my professionalism, I will do so. You seem to have a pattern of not only finding fault with everything anyone writes here, which is obviously your prerogative, but you seem to do so repeatedly when either obviously not reading the referenced material or stating openly you have not considered the material (all the material) as you have done here. It might have helped enormously had you actually watched the entire video instead of just enough to try to shoot holes in the allegations set forth in the ENTIRE video.
Your personal accusations are, quite simply, ridiculous. In a very, very long career at the Bar, I was never sanctioned once, either under Rule 11 (and many of our cases, falling under the Admiralty jurisdiction of the Court, were filed in Federal Court) or under the Louisiana equivalent. I won my share of favorable verdicts but unlike the billboard lawyers of this generation, I did not broadcast them from a TV studio. I served as Chair of the Professionalism and Quality of Life Committee of the Louisiana State Bar Association, so I do NOT need a lecture from you about the standards of my professionalism- ever.
As to whether there is sufficient evidence of the fact that this sleazy mob boss of a simple crook took bribes, I will simply quote, noting my full agreeement, the statement of @oldbathos, above: I have never seen such an abundance of indisputable evidence of corruption–and it keeps growing.
Wrong again, due to the fact that you just had to get out your criticism–had you watched the entire video you would have known that everything you said about Shokin was wrong, assuming, you believe Ted Cruz, which I do. You are free to dismiss his conclusions, as you do others’, but I believe them.
Res ipsa loquitur.
I consider it a waste of time to try to reason with this person, for reasons set out in #18, as I am not sure he would be convinced if a video was produced of Biden taking that 80,000 diamond, that Porche, that 5 million dollar payoff, and maybe other exchanges accompanied with audio of Biden making the statement to the effect that this or that — quid pro quo — would now be the policy of the United States and thank you for your support. He might have to struggle to argue with such a presentation, but I have every confidence he would give it a try.
See # 18 for my 100% agreement with this statement.
I’ve never seen a more accurate description of this bottom feeder!
I can’t see where they have any alternative at this point unless they do not mind the entire 50% of the electorate for seeing them as the spineless cowards they are. It is irrevelant that it is a foregone conclusion that the Senate will acquit; it is the trial in the House and the investigation leading to it which are so necessary.
Can you think of a single media figure who could even get in the front door of the White House who would have the [ ]s to pull that off? I’m probably not one to make that observation as I cannot remember the last time we watched any of the alphabet outlets so I’m not even sure who any of those anchors are. I just cannot imagine one of them, with or without [ ]s, having the courage to pull this off. And while I really like the wit of your analogy to The Godfather, I must take this opportunity to note my opinion of Schumer is that if there is any substance on the face of the earth lower than pondscum, that perfectly describes the person who stood in front of the Supreme Court threatening two sitting Justices on the Court by name and telling them they will not know “what hit them” if they didn’t change their vote on the Dobbs case.
Indeed; however, what seems to be coming is shaping up to be so brutal and violent I’m not at all sure it will be the kind of “entertainment” we usually associate with a nice big bowl of popcorn.
Too bad you didn’t.
Maybe several sternly worded letters followed by hearings with numerous sternly worded speeches followed by a very long sternly worded report which no one in the world will read after all of which it will be like absolutely nothing ever happened.
I think that impeachment will be a concession McCarthy will have to give to avoid a budget fight, so I am more optimistic than you or Drew on this one.
I don’t think they mind how they are perceived. The graft can soothe a seared conscience.
A small point that doesn’t change what you’ve written. But I thought that in the transcript of the Ukraine call, it was Zelensky who brought up investigating Hunter and Burisma and such, and said he was willing to help; and Trump said something like “Yeah, sure we should do that,” and then fairly quickly changed the subject. I don’t think Trump expressed any concern for any investigation in that call except to politely acknowledge that there were improprieties that could stand to be looked into.
He already wrote a comment before watching the video, and then only watched part of it. I think his mind was made up from the moment he read the headline.
One can nitpick, whine, complain that there is no proof that Biden took money. OK, maybe he didn’t. Instead, he in effect said give my bribe money to Hunter, and he’ll give me my cut. For all I know, that’s legal, but let’s not pretend that the bribe was to Hunter. Wandering Joe was the ultimate recipient, the guy with the juice to get it done. Whatever “it” was.
Walls ARE closing in! Another BOMBSHELL just dropped ON the Biden Crime Family and it AIN’T good – Twitchy
Remember in 2016 that the scumbag Paul Ryan was saying that his priority was to retain control of the House? That was a non-too-subtle way of saying, “I won’t waste time campaigning for Trump.” When Trump won, Ryan said in an interview, “I didn’t see that coming.” Points for honesty, but I still despise him.
All the Democrat Powers-That-Be need to do is let Heels-Up know that their priorities are to gain control of the House and expand Senate control, that she is on her own. Faced with what would be a humiliating defeat, it’s her job to come up with a reason for not running in 2024. If she steps down gracefully, she’ll be taken care of. Of course, what I’m assuming is that Joe will soon besmirch himself on stage or do something else to make his 2024 run an impossibility.
There ain’t enough popcorn to get me through this sh**-show. I’d better stock up on Laphroaig Ten or good wine.
Too bad Joe wasn’t smart enough to retire on the millions in bribes he’d already received, rather than pushing on to be president and get it all uncovered.
