    The fallacious claims being made that the impeachment process for The Big Guy are over nitwithstanding when in fact it is just reaching a critical juncture. It is time for The Big Guy finally tell the truth about his involvement about which we know he has lied from the get go.

    To that end the House committee has requested he appear voluntarily before the committee and in the meantime submit written responses to the following (condensed from here https://jonathanturley.org/2024/03/...dent-biden-to-testify-in-impeachment-inquiry/)


    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Jonathan Li of Bohai Industrial Fund and/or Bohai Harvest Rosemont?

    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Ye Jianming of CEFC?

    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Henry Zhao of the Harvest Fund?

    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Vadym Pozharskyi of Burisma Holdings?

    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Mykola Zlochevsky of Burisma Holdings?

    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Kenes Rakishev of Novatus Holding?

    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Yelena Baturina?

    Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Yuriy Luzhkov?

    Did you ever ask your brother James Biden about the source of the funds he used to pay or repay you?

    Did Eric Schwerin have insight into all your bank accounts until December 2017?

    The full letter is here

    As reported in the headline link press release

    Calls on the President to provide answers about his involvement in the Bidens’ pay-for-influence schemes

    WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today is offering President Joe Biden the opportunity to testify at a hearing in furtherance of the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry and is calling on President Biden to answer questions about his participation in his family’s pay-for-influence schemes.

    “During the 118th Congress, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has been investigating influence peddling conducted by you and your family. The Committee has accounted for over $24 million that has flowed from foreign sources to you, your family, and their business associates. The Committee has identified no legitimate services to merit such lucrative payments. You have repeatedly denied playing any role in your family’s business activities, but the Committee has amassed evidence—including bank records and witness testimony—that wholly contradicts your position on these matters. Additionally, the White House has taken a position hostile to the Committee’s investigation and refuses to release certain information or make available witnesses to testify regarding issues relevant to the ongoing impeachment inquiry currently authorized by the full House of Representatives. In light of the yawning gap between your public statements and the evidence assembled by the Committee as well as the White House’s obstruction, it is in the best interest of the American people for you to answer questions from Members of Congress directly, and I hereby invite you to do so,” wrote Chairman Comer.

    The Bidens received $15 million from China, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Romania and the Oversight Committee traced how $40,000 from CEFC, a Chinese government linked energy company, landed in Joe Biden’s bank account. During the investigation’s interview and deposition phase, Biden family associates provided evidence of Joe Biden’s knowledge of and participation in his family’s business schemes.

    “The public is left with two irreconcilable narratives. The first—asserted by you—is that you did not engage in influence peddling in exchange for payments to your family. The second—asserted by witnesses and a body of evidence I will briefly review below—is that you were indeed involved in these pay-for-influence schemes and that you have been repeatedly untruthful regarding a matter relevant to national security and your own fitness to serve as President of the United States,” continued Chairman Comer. “As Chairman of the Committee, in addition to requesting that you answer the questions posed in this letter, I invite you to participate in a public hearing at which you will be afforded the opportunity to explain, under oath, your involvement with your family’s sources of income and the means it has used to generate it.”

    In the letter to President Biden, Chairman Comer confronts President Biden about his previous statements about his family’s business dealings—including claims his family did not make money in China, he never interacted with his family’s business associates, and he never discussed business with his family and their associates—and requests President Biden answer questions about the evidence obtained by the Committee that refutes his claims in order to provide the truth to the American people.

    Time to stop with the simple dismissals and denials there are some SERIOUS issues here and the Biden's need to come forward and fully explain ans provide the records.

    BTW the White House Legal Counsel has adopted a never seen before snarky attack dog response posture not worth posting as a response.

    Why did Biden accept this invitation?

    Many Republicans believe that Biden has committed no crime and that this is a complete waste of time.

    There is obviously no reason (whatsoever) for Joe to testify (just to appease a bunch of delusional Congressional Tinfoil Hats).
    Comer's blatant idiocy isn't worth dignifying with a response.
    Has anybody told Comer that he is a little early for April Fool's Day?
    And, WHO is this "Big Guy" being referred to?
    This guy?

    Biden shouldn’t even answer Gomer’s letter.

    I can’t wait until Gomer is in front of a House committee answering the following questions:

    Did you decide to engage in this fake and fraudulent investigation alone or in concert with other Republicans? Who are they ?

    Why did you suborn perjured testimony?

    Did you have any communication with Donald Trump with respect to any aspect of your committee ?

    Were you promised any compensation of any kind for directing the actions of the committee?


    For starters……

    It's hard to keep up with the Comer stories. Didn't he just suspend proceedings for impeachment and referred to the justice dept? If so, why would Biden sit before him at this point?

    The issues are so serious that the Republicans spent 15 months of taxpayer money to run a political campaign to target the president while passing zero bills to address issues Americans are facing.

    Basically everything Republicans said Democrats did but were unable to prove, y’all are now doing.

    Biden should absolutely not even waste time responding to these fools.

    The Republican house should impeach him if they have the evidence or **** and do their damn jobs if they are going to keep doing this stunt.

    No reason to attend if Comer said impeachment is unlikely.

    Those in the House know that Biden committed no crime. Only people in the deep, dark recesses of the internet believe otherwise.

    It appears that the Republican Party will do anything to keep this Hunter Biden trope alive and appease their beloved false god.

    It has been a painful and embarrassing thing to watch.

    Still waiting, what was the legitimate business or service they were providing? If not Joe then who is The Big Guy?

    Which Republicans have publicly stated the Biden has committed no crime and don't claim the witness at the inquiry Turley, I already cited where he refuted that claim.

    Great then you should know exactly why his family was getting the tens of millions in cash and diamonds from our worst foreign adversaries and you should be able to produce a record of him loaning the $240,000 to his brother and his sister-in-law which the personal accountant said never happened.

    Let's have it.

    And what happens to those who refuse to appear before Congressional committee's. Why are you letting him and his family give the country the middle finger over their influence peddling scheme and why do you stand for it? Can you answer without trying to divert to Trump?

    It's not hard to keep up with it at all if you are actually keeping up with it. There IS AN ONGOING DOJ INVESTIGATION, good gawd don't you know anything about this? Biden is the President and in the process of being IMPEACHED for bribery and influence peddling with some of our worst foreign adversaries to enrich his family.
    But then the DOJ including the AG said Biden is to mentally decrepit to take the stand in a trial now so another reason he should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.

    Why aren't you DEMANDING he appear and FINALLY speak the truth? Do you enjoy him and his family giving the country the middle finger as they engage in their corrupt financial gain from Russia the China just to name two?

    So the Biden's and any persons in that position should be free to sell government influence to our worst foreign adversaries and you care not a twit?

    So you can explain why the Biden's were receiving the tens of millions in cash and diamonds from our worst foreign adversaries?

    Does not the Constitution specifically make it THE JOB of the House to impeach President who engage in bribery and influence peddling?

    I wonder why the GOP is dumping their impeachment inquiry with such a “mountain of evidence” available to them.

    Which Biden? Are you trying to conflate one Biden with another?
    How did Joe Biden peddle his own influence? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

    Because the majority of the people in this country do not give a flying **** about the GOP circus, sham of an impeachment witch hunt in the House. And those that do pay attention know that the GOP are ****ing jokes and hypocrites that ignore subpoenas.

    **** Comer Pyle and Gym Jordan. Pair of cucks for traitor 45.

    The many things Biden can clarify, questions put to bed and ease the public's mind if only he would voluntarily show up and answer a few questions. Until he does clear things up, allegations of his corruption will hang over him forever.
