Accusations of Hypocrisy: Bidens Received $1 Million from Allegedly Corrupt Romanian Businessman While Joe Biden Spoke About Ethics During Visit
On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee disclosed that a Romanian businessman, who was believed to be involved in corrupt practices, had transferred over $1 million to the Biden family. This transfer took place while Joe Biden, who was then the Vice President, had expressed his commitment to fight corruption in Romania.
“While Vice President Biden was lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policy, in reality, he was a walking billboard for his son and family to collect money,” committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said
Comer, along with other members of the committee, pledged to uncover the extent of President Biden's connection to the income from Romania and other business ventures in countries such as China, Russia, and Ukraine. The committee plans to issue additional subpoenas for bank and other relevant records as part of their investigation.
“I want to be clear: This committee is investigating President Biden and his family’s shady business deals that capitalize on Joe Biden’s public office and risked our country’s national security … We believe that the president has been involved in this from the very beginning, obviously,” Comer said.
According to a 36-page memo released by the House committee on Wednesday, bank records obtained through subpoenas suggest that around $3 million was transferred from a company owned by a Romanian businessman, Popoviciu's Bladon Enterprises, to Robinson Walker LLC, a company controlled by Hunter Biden's business partner Rob Walker, between November 2015 and May 2017. Of this amount, approximately one-third, which is roughly $1,038,627.08, was transferred to bank accounts belonging to Hunter Biden, his ex-wife Hallie Biden, and an unidentified member of the Biden family. This distribution of funds from Romania is similar to the sharing of a $3 million payment from CEFC China Energy in early 2017, where about one-third of the payment was allegedly divided among Hunter, Hallie, James Biden, and an unnamed Biden family member, as stated in a previous memo released by the Oversight Committee in March.
Despite all of this damning evidence, liberals at large have still ardently refused to condemn the president, in a show of drastic hypocrisy. Despite proclaiming to criticize Trump and other conservatives for other similar allegations, liberals still seem content to let Biden get away Scott free despite the fact that the actions between the two camps aren’t actually all that different.
