"The Real White House Crime Family": Dem Rep. Tells the GOP to Stop Wasting Time With Hunter Biden and Subpoena Jared Ku




“The Real White House Crime Family”: Dem Rep. Tells the GOP to Stop Wasting Time With Hunter Biden and Subpoena Jared Kushner
“Why did Saudi Arabia give Jared Kushner $2 billion—billion with a b—just months after he left the Trump White House?”

While testifying during a closed-door deposition about his business dealings on Wednesday, Hunter Biden had a question for Republicans, given their apparent concern with conflicts of interest and corruption: Why are they not probing former first son-in-law Jared Kushner’s arrangement with Saudi Arabia, wherein Kushner’s investment firm received $2 billion from the country’s sovereign wealth fund shortly after leaving the White House? “He drew the distinction between what he has done in a business world with independent businessmen versus foreign governments, which he did not do any business with—unlike Jared Kushner,” Representative Dan Goldman told reporters. “He may be a little bit frustrated by some of the double standards relating to Jared Kushner and money that’s just been openly pocketed by Donald Trump in office,” added Representative Jamie Raskin. “And Jared Kushner, of course, brought back $2 billion from Saudi Arabia. And all of that has been a part of the conversation, and he was assertive about that.” And as it turns out, Biden is not the only one curious to know why he is being hauled before Congress while Kushner is counting his Saudi cash.

In a speech on the House floor on Thursday, Representative Robert Garcia demanded Republicans stop wasting their time on Hunter Biden and investigate Kushner’s business dealings. Standing beside a huge photo of Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Garcia said: “Yesterday I sat in on the Hunter Biden deposition for hours. Republicans once again…provided zero evidence, failing to show any sort of link between Hunter Biden and the president. No links between those business dealings. This entire case is a political stunt and a joke. Donald Trump ordered House Republicans to smear President Biden; they tried and tried and tried and failed.”

and this time around they are far more likely to be successful. As with the 2020 election the cult will start yelling nonstop about rigged elections, and come January 3rd Mike Johnson will refuse to seat any newly elected Democrats, citing irregularities in various state elections. This way he retains control of the House. On January 6th the cult will refuse to certify the results from certain states, again citing irregularities, throwing the election to the House, and installing Trump. Trump immediately invokes martial law, and we have US troops patrolling all major cities. The impeachment charade is to amplify the message that Biden is illegitimate, justifying the coup. SCOTUS will of course ratify the coup if it is challenged in the courts. (My guess is the cult will remove Trump with the 25th amendment once the office is secured, knowing that he is cognitively impaired and useless — so we may end up with Trump’s running mate, whoever that will be.)

No violence, and it’s all legal. All it takes is chutzpah. (No violence until after Trump takes office, and then it will likely become a bloodbath in the streets.)
