The corporate news media all but refused to cover the opening hearing of the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on Thursday, and to the extent they did, it was only to repeat, at the behest of the White House, the exhausted mantra that there's "No evidence" connecting Biden to his son Hunter's international bribery scheme.
All told, House Republicans presented more than two dozen pieces of evidence on Thursday linking Joe Biden to his son's overseas business dealings.
The evidence suggests the Biden family "Business" is exactly what it appears to be: an influence-peddling scheme on a scale never before seen in American history.
According to Bobulinksi, "They believed CEFC owed them money for the benefits that accrued to CEFC through its use of the Biden family name to advance their business dealings." Once Biden left office, Hunter and James were paid more than a million dollars by CEFC. "Now we know why," said Mace.
The question the impeachment inquiry has to answer is whether Joe Biden knew about the scheme, whether he profited from it, whether he intentionally helped Hunter, and whether he changed U.S. policy as part of rendering that help.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, never one to miss an opportunity for self-parody, gravely asked all three Republican witnesses whether they were "Presenting any firsthand witness account of crimes committed by the president of the United States," as if the only evidence that counts is video footage of Joe Biden stuffing cash into a duffel bag marked "$$$ from China.
They aren't going to take this seriously, even if the impeachment inquiry turns up audio recordings of Joe Biden saying, "Why yes, I did fire that Ukrainian prosecutor for $5 million from Burisma." Democrats and the media don't care about Biden's corruption and won't tell the truth about it, no matter what evidence comes to light.
