You know, “The Big Guy”
Victor Davis Hanson calls Hunter Biden’s relationship with his father, President Joe Biden, “strange, abusive.”
Being drug-addled and barely capable of functioning at an adult level, Hunter was nonetheless dispatched by Joe to offer up “business interests” and “consulting” for politicians and businessmen of foreign countries known for their corruption.
Hunter only had to utilize his last name as a door opener. After that, the business he conducted was centered around access to his father, the sitting vice president of the United States, and at his bequest. You know, “the big guy.”
Hunter’s Peddling Influence
The notorious criminal enterprise was abetted by the legacy media, which swallowed and prevailed upon Americans to also buy into “the gigantic lie in its entirety.”
Although egregious and shameless, it masked the real scandal here—that numerous denials of Joe and Hunter “not being in business together” have been revealed to be not only false but indicative of the true nature of the Biden family’s influence peddling grift.
By initiating a complicated financial shell game, moving cash from one account to another, Biden was hiding upwards of $20 million …
Thanks, Grampa
How did the Biden shell game work? By initiating a complicated financial shell game, moving cash from one account to another, the payoffs of which found their way to multiple Biden family accounts. Foreign cash even wound up in an account belonging to one of Biden’s granddaughters.
The Biden Department of Justice oversaw the prosecution and fulfilled its proper nonpartisan role when an intervening federal judge nullified an unprecedented DOJ sweetheart tax evasion deal, one designed specifically for the presidential son.
The Real Scoop
The 10-year window of exemption dates back to the last two years of Joe Biden’s vice presidency, when his sloppy shakedowns of foreign governments even bothered an embarrassed Obama administration.
By pardoning Hunter, and de facto other Bidens to come, Joe believes that there will be no subpoenaed witness who can testify about the source of the family’s some $20 million grift: where the money came from what it was for, where it went, and whether anyone fully paid federal and state income taxes on these foreign cash infusions..
The Corruption of America’s Political System
Americans need to remember, VDH reminds readers:
- Who soiled the FBI and the DOJ to fabricate Russian collusion to undermine a 2016 oppositional presidential opponent?
- Who hired a has-been British spy to fabricate a smear dossier and leak it to the media to destroy a candidate?
- Who rounded up “51 intelligence authorities” to lie on the eve of an election about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop, then already verified and in the possession of the FBI?
- Who tasked the FBI to partner with social media to censure and suppress verified news stories about the laptop’s authenticity deemed incriminating to the Biden campaign?
- Who impeached a president over a phone call as soon as it recaptured the House of Representatives?
- Who envisioned removing a major-party candidate from sixteen state ballots to undermine the election of an opponent?
- Who orchestrated a SWAT raid on the home of an ex-president and presidential candidate over an ongoing archival dispute concerning the proper storage of presidential papers?
- Who coordinated the lawfare to empower a special counsel to indict Donald Trump, to consult with a partisan Georgia prosecutor to indict Donald Trump, and to dispatch a federal prosecutor to join a local Manhattan prosecutor to indict Donald Trump, previously on the staff of yet another New York state attorney general who indicted Donald Trump?
- Who advocated packing the Supreme Court?
- Who sought to end the Electoral College?
- Who wanted to create two new blue states to win four new senators?
- Who wanted to demolish the filibuster—depending on whether it held a Senate majority?
- Who radically changed American balloting, rendering, in most states, the historic Election Day to a mere construct of as little as 30 percent of the electorate voting?
- Who rounded up “51 intelligence authorities” to lie on the eve of an election about the laptop, the FBI?
- Who tasked the FBI to partner with social media to censure and suppress verified news stories about the laptop’s authenticity deemed incriminating to the Biden campaign?
- Who impeached a president over a phone call as soon as it recaptured the House of Representatives?
- Who orchestrated a SWAT raid on the home of an ex-president and presidential candidate over an ongoing archival dispute concerning the proper storage of presidential papers?
In what VDH calls the final irony, Joe Biden may pardon a gaggle of cronies who will not be indicted by the Trump Department of Justice but who, “by acceptance of such exemption, will remind the American people of their culpability if not criminality.”
It is likely Anthony Fauci lied under oath about his role in subsidizing illicit and undeniable gain-of-function virology research in communist China.
Clearly violating his oath of office as an advisor to the president, Gen. Mark Milley ordered theater and unit commanders first to report directly to himself in supposed existential crises rather than to the Secretary of Defense.
Most Americans would deem it actionable for a chairman of the Joint Chiefs to stealthily contact his Chinese communist, People’s Liberation Army counterpart in order to warn him about the supposedly unstable nature of his own president and commander-in-chief and thus to assure the Chinese that American officers would nullify any presidential directives that they themselves diagnosed as improper.
Then we have the bureaucratic grandees John Brennan, James Clapper, and Andrew McCabe—all current media-paid consultants. Each admittedly lied either under congressional oath or to federal investigators and did so with complete exemption.
Donald Trump’s becoming the 47th president will remind Americans what zealots in the image of Progressivism did to America.
