Biden Under Renewed Scrutiny in Ukrainian Corruption Probe Over ‘Glaring Conflict of Interest’

Lawrence David| Opinion| Despite overwhelming efforts by the mainstream media to put a cone of silence over former Vice President Joe Biden’s seeming reign of corruption, the truth is slowly percolating to the surface…

Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson has subpoenaed FBI Director Chris Wray, and former State Department official Jonathan Winer, as the next step in his committee’s investigation into Joe Biden and an alleged pay-for-play scheme with Ukraine that took place during the Obama administration.

Johnson declared there is evidence Joe Biden’s family engaged in a “glaring conflict of interest.”

Last Monday, Chairman Johnson released this statement as part of a letter that he released…

“We didn’t target Joe and Hunter Biden for investigation; their previous actions had put them in the middle of it.”

“Many in the media, in an ongoing attempt to provide cover for former Vice President Biden, continue to repeat the mantra that there is ‘no evidence of wrongdoing or illegal activity’ related to Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board. I could not disagree more.”

Sen. Johnson cited evidence that showed Joe Biden had met with his son’s business partner, Devon Archer, in April 2014 and within a month both his son Hunter and the business partner were put on the Burisma board as the firm faced multiple corruption investigations.

Chairman Johnson’s letter continued…

“The appearance of family profiteering off of Vice President Biden’s official responsibilities is not unique to the circumstances involving Ukraine and Burisma.  Public reporting has also shown Hunter Biden following his father into China and coincidentally landing lucrative business deals and investments there.

“Additionally, the former vice president’s brothers and sister-in-law, Frank, James and Sara Biden, also are reported to have benefited financially from his work as well. We have not had the resources to devote investigatory time to these other allegations, but I point them out to underscore that Ukraine and Burisma seem more of a pattern of conduct than an aberration.”

People who follow these Congressional investigations have come to accept the fact that nothing ever comes of them… no one is ever found guilty… they merely provide red meat for constituents during election seasons.

How else to explain the nine-month delay from the time the president’s attorney Rudy Giuliani first went public offering the evidence he had uncovered while investigation for his defense of President Trump…

In February of this year, three months after Giuliani’s revelations, Attorney General William Barr established an ‘intake process.’  You might ask what took so long?  Afterall, Mr. Giuliani is one of America’s most respected corruption investigators having taken down the New York mob while he was a U.S. attorney for the SDNY.

Listen closely… not a lot of reason for optimism…

Those hoping to see indictments stemming from the Bidens’ misfeasance in Ukraine should place their hopes on Barr’s investigators… if they put their faith anywhere.
