The ranking member of the House Oversight Committee Rep. James Comer has been trying for months to get the Suspicious Activity Reports - anti-money laundering reports that flag suspicious transactions - that have been filed by banks against Hunter Biden.
Now, the word is in from Biden's Treasury Department that they have formally rejected his request for the information because the Democrats aren't part of the request.
"It's unacceptable that the Treasury Department continues to run cover for the Biden family and possibly hide information about whether Joe Biden benefited financially from his family's business transactions. The Biden Administration changed the rules to severely restrict Congress' access to suspicious activity reports in the dark of night and with no explanation."
"Hunter Biden and other Biden family members have racked up at least 150 suspicious activity reports for their shady foreign business deals. We need more information about these transactions and if Joe Biden has benefited financially from his family's dealings with foreign adversaries. It is a matter of national security to know if President Biden is compromised. The American people deserve answers, and Republicans will use the power of the gavel next Congress to get them."
What a coincidence that the Biden Treasury is suddenly cutting off access to the reports that could point to influence peddling and/or other crimes.
"It is troubling that the Biden Administration is willing to provide a false story to the media to create the appearance of transparency while continuing to thwart congressional oversight," Comer said at that time, and he said it raised more questions about how far they were willing to go running cover for the Bidens.
One has to think that Joe Biden is desperate to prevent Republicans from getting back power not just because he and the Democrats don't want to relinquish any of their power but because with that little bit of power, the GOP finally seems firmly set on holding people - including the Bidens - to account.
