Corruption has always and will always exist in the political world. It’s an unfortunate reality of humanity. However, that doesn’t mean that elected officials shouldn’t strive to avoid corruption as much as possible. It’s still completely possible to go throughout one’s political life without diving into the world of corruption.
Yet, some politicians purposefully get themselves into corrupt situations in order to benefit themselves and their families. These politicians then end up hurting the constituents they were elected to serve because they’d rather engage in behavior that goes against many laws and standards that are required of someone working in government.
Take Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden for example. For years now there has been reports that Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, has engaged in influence peddling in order to secure high-stakes business dealings. Yet, because of the Biden family’s status, it seems as though they have skated past consequences that are deserving of someone involved in such corruption. And now, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) isn’t standing idly by as he heavily criticizes the fact that the Bidens, specifically Hunter Biden, have gotten away with so much during President Biden’s time in Washington, D.C.
Comer Goes Scorched Earth On Special Counsel Weiss’s Hunter Biden Report
House Oversight Chairman James Comer has denounced Special Counsel David Weiss’ final report on his multi-year-long investigation into Hunter Biden, describing it as “incomplete” due to President Biden’s recent pardon of his son. “Special Counsel David Weiss just released an incomplete 27-page report because President Joe Biden issued his son an unprecedented pardon. This sweeping pardon prevents the Special Counsel from holding Hunter Biden accountable for the international influence peddling racket only made possible by Joe Biden,” said Rep. Comer, R-Ky., in a statement following the report’s release.
Comer continued, accusing the Department of Justice (DOJ) of shielding the Biden family from accountability. “Let’s be clear: the Biden DOJ was never going to prosecute the Biden Crime Family. The House Oversight Committee’s investigation of the Bidens’ influence peddling schemes revealed how Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family cashing in on the Biden name,” he said.
The Kentucky congressman has been adamant for a while now that the Biden family has been caught up in corruption during their time in Washington, D.C. Comer has worked night and day to try to uncover their crimes but has faced challenges thanks to Democrats in Congress who have sought to protect Joe Biden and his family members.
As for Weiss’ report, which was submitted to Congress, it outlines a six-year investigation into Hunter Biden, focusing on his taxes and his purchase of a firearm in 2018 while addicted to controlled substances. Hunter Biden was convicted on related charges last year, including three felony firearm offenses and a guilty plea for failing to pay over $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019. Despite earlier assurances that he would not pardon his son, President Biden changed his mind last month, issuing a broad pardon covering any offenses Hunter Biden “has committed or may have committed” from January 1, 2014, to December 1, 2024.
Comer emphasized the role of whistleblowers in exposing alleged DOJ misconduct in the Hunter Biden investigation. “Two brave whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, blew the whistle on DOJ’s misconduct and politicization in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation and revealed they were prevented from following evidence that could have led to Joe Biden,” Comer stated.
The whistleblowers, represented by Empower Oversight, criticized the Weiss report for leaving “too many questions unanswered” and called for a deeper investigation. In a joint statement, they said, “DOJ, FBI, and IRS leadership should have done the right thing from the beginning. We should not have had to risk our careers to end the preferential treatment being given to the President’s son. Years later, we are still facing whistleblower retaliation.”
Weiss also addressed Hunter Biden’s well-documented substance addiction in his report, stating that it did not justify his failure to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income. According to Weiss, Hunter Biden earned over $7 million between 2016 and 2020, largely through leveraging his family name in lucrative business deals, including a board position at Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings and a joint venture with Chinese business interests. Weiss concluded that Hunter Biden “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills” and deliberately underreported his income, even after regaining sobriety. “These are not ‘inconsequential’ or ‘technical’ tax code violations,” Weiss said.
President Biden’s decision to pardon his son also drew criticism from Weiss, who described it as harmful to the integrity of the justice system. “Politicians who attack the decisions of career prosecutors as politically motivated when they disagree with the outcome of a case undermine the public’s confidence in our criminal justice system,” Weiss wrote.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, pushed back on the report, accusing Weiss of omitting key details about the investigation. “David Weiss’ 27-page report continues to ignore some of the major mysteries of his 7-year investigation,” Lowell said. He also alleged that Weiss prolonged the case by pursuing “wild – and debunked – conspiracies about Mr. Biden by a Russian agent,” wasting taxpayer dollars.
What are your thoughts on the investigation of Hunter Biden? Do you agree with Rep. Comer that it’s “incomplete?” Let us know in the comments below!
I completely agree. Biden and his son should face federal charges. They’re both corrupt criminals!! If I were to do what they’ve done, I’d be in prison for life. If they aren’t punished in this life, God will punish them in the next life.
No one is shocked that Democrat politicians, criminals, murderers ignore all laws… pardon any Democrat under suspicion…
Judgement day is coming for both of these worthless individuals when they stand before the Judge of all the Earth, and they will not escape.
Did you think for a mili-second that the biden DOJ, the biden FBI was going to charge biden, his son, hid brother or any one in the biden family with anything? Please!!!!! Wake up and smell the roses!!!!! biden only ran for president so he and his family could become multimillionaires by threats, promising money (tax payers money!!!!) etc
Something that will put you or me in prison for decades, he knew that him and his son would get away with it.
He never cared for you or me or the hard working citizen that have to struggle to keep him and his family fed, he cares for people in Europe; he cares for the “rights” of murderers, for people that come to this country by breaking the law, for sending money to who ever wants it in the world; he weaponized the FBI, ATFE, the DOJ to get away with whatever he wanted with absolutely no regard for our laws, rules or regulations; he is BY FAR the most corrupt of all the presidents that we have had and we live with higher prices, inflation, insecurities, etc etc because of him.
If you don’t think like I and the immense majority of working man and women do, then like senator Kennedy says “from what planet did you just parachute from!!!!”
Indict the whole Biden crime family.
Then go for Obamination and BIG MIKE
Then the Clinton’s
Then the Bush’s
They all should be stripped of ANYTHING they bought while in office.
The Bidens are one of the best reasons one could think of for birth control.
Worse than the Capone years….old cogcher thinks he is a god…..then comes
judgement day…..surprise surprise……well clan …looks like were headed
south for the duration……fitting…..finally justice…….
It’s definitely unfair to all the rest of us taxpayers who have to pay our taxes and are fined if delinquent
Not just “fined”. Probably sent to prison and would lose everything that they had. confiscated by the criminal enterprise known as the IRS.
Why are these “pardons” allowed? You or I would not have that opportunity were we criminals. These self-serving politicians get away with everything because they know that they will not be held accountable. Hence, undeterred, they continue their illegal activities.
Weiss need to go and Hunter Biden and his Father, need to go to JAIL!!
