An Ethically Challenged Presidency

[jimnyc]

"my word as a Biden" :laugh2: Between his plagiarizing and just outright making shit up throughout his entire career, makes this statement laughable.

Claims he stands for "honor and truth" - and people were dumb enough to believe him considering his long track record in the honesty department. And then further lies many times already during his presidency.

And the laptop? The already proven "Russian disinformation" bullshit outed already - and the entire sage with Joe and profiting on his sons deals with multiple countries - 7 at minimum. And even after it was proven to be legit, the leftist media hid and censored it.

Even willing to toss top military brass right under the bus like a POS.

An Ethically Challenged Presidency

There should be little doubt that President Biden was not being truthful when, days after the Taliban’s victory, he told ABC News that his senior military advisers had not urged him to keep some 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. The president’s claim was flatly contradicted last week in sworn testimony from Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr., the head of U.S. Central Command.

During the generals’ testimony, the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, sought to defend her boss by pointing to a line in Biden’s interview in which he appeared to suggest that the military’s advice “was split.”

Another whopper. What split? As The Times’s Helene Cooper, Eric Schmitt and David Sanger reported in April, right after Lloyd Austin was sworn in as secretary of defense in January, he and his top generals “were in lock step in recommending that about 3,000 to 4,500 troops stay in Afghanistan.” Asked whether there were top military advisers who argued otherwise, Psaki evaded the question.

Biden’s dissembling, regarding the worst-executed major foreign policy decision in years, would be a scandal in any presidency. It’s worse coming from the man who campaigned for office by insisting that he stood “for honor and telling the truth.”

A week earlier, Politico’s Ben Schreckinger published a scrupulously reported book on the Biden family. It makes a compelling case that some of the most explosive emails from Hunter Biden’s purported laptop were entirely genuine — a claim that Schreckinger confirmed with multiple sources, including a Swedish government agency, and that was never explicitly denied by Hunter himself.

That includes a 2017 email in which one of Hunter’s potential business partners proposed a “provisional agreement” with the now-defunct company CEFC China Energy to share equity percentages in a new venture, with “10 Jim” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” Jim Biden is the president’s brother. “The big guy,” according to Tony Bobulinski, a recipient of the email, is Hunter’s father.

This does not mean the president received, or even expected to receive, money from this supposed venture, or even knew about it.

But it provides good reason to believe that the news media gave far too much credence to his assertion that the leaked emails were “a Russian plant,” as he put it in his second debate with Donald Trump. It makes it more difficult to ignore Bobulinski’s claim that he met with Joe, Jim and Hunter Biden in May 2017 to discuss the overall terms of the deal. And it is worth asking whether the president may have been willing to make himself useful to his family, even if he didn’t profit personally or directly from their deals.

“The Bidens pride themselves on integrity, and are fond of pledging ‘my word as a Biden’ when they really mean something,” Schreckinger writes. “The evidence marshaled in the closing weeks of the campaign built on a picture in which Joe’s relatives trade regularly on their connections to him, while the separation between their private dealings and his public duties is not as far and wide as he has claimed.”

The Five Most CENSORED Hunter Biden Scandals of 2021

Since January 20, 2021 (President Joe Biden’s inauguration), the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news have almost completely CENSORED any difficult talk surrounding Hunter Biden’s scandals. This despite new developments surrounding the President’s son popping up in 2021.

The network evening newscasts are just following a familiar pattern. The news media spent much of 2019 and 2020 either dismissing or covering up Hunter’s myriad scandals. It took Politico almost an entire year to acknowledge the validity of e-mails showing Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukrainian and Chinese businessmen, which the New York Post first revealed in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election.

Back in October 2020, you might remember, Politico tried to discredit the Hunter Biden e-mail stories as: “Russian disinformation.” But then last week, a “Politico Playbook” article admitted at least a portion of the material was “genuine.”

In total ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News (January 20-September 27) spent a measly five minutes and 8 seconds on the disgraced son.

Even when Hunter Biden was talked about it was in sympathetic terms when they all aired Joe Biden reflecting on Hunter’s struggles with drug addiction.

On the February 7 World News Sunday, anchor Linsey Davis’s intro was typical of the tone: “And tonight President Biden opening up about his son, Hunter, who is sharing his personal battle with addiction in a new memoir.” The President saying, ‘I’ll bet you there’s not a family you know that doesn’t have somebody in their family that has a drug problem…”

Hunter’s name was also briefly brought up in stories about Rudy Giuliani being “under scrutiny.” On the April 28 CBS Evening News, correspondent Jeff Pegues reported “Giuliani has been under scrutiny by federal prosecutors….about whether he broke lobbying laws in his dealings with Ukraine….looking for compromising information on President Biden and his son Hunter.”

NBC Nightly News managed to offer 19 seconds on Hunter’s tax problems, 9 seconds on his work with Burisma and 136 seconds on Hunter’s ethically questionable art show — all topics that ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News ignored.

The following is a look at some of the scandals the evening news COULD be spending their time on, if they weren’t so in the tank for the Biden presidency:

Emails Show Hunter Biden Demanded $2 Million to Get His Dad’s White House to Unfreeze Libyan Assets

On September 23, The Daily Mail reported the following:


“A pair of emails from business associates of Hunter Biden reveal he offered to help them unfreeze Libyan assets for a $2million retainer plus ‘success fees’, while they also discussed their misgivings over his drug and alcohol use.

The email exchanges were between mid-level Democratic donors Sam Jauhari and Sheikh Mohammed al-Rahbani, who in 2015 were both working on behalf of the new Libyan government to free up $30billion in state foreign assets. They had been frozen by the Obama administration under the deposed Muammar Gaddafi regime in 2011.

The emails are unrelated to those on his laptop, which outlined a number of his other business dealings. The computer was found at a repair shop in Delaware.”

Freaked Out Hunter Biden Tells Prostitute About ANOTHER Stolen Laptop

On August 11, The Daily Mail reported the following:


“Hunter Biden claimed Russians stole another one of his laptops for blackmail while he was close to overdosing in a Las Vegas hotel room, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The alleged incident would mean Hunter lost a total of three computers - the first abandoned at a Delaware computer store and the second seized by federal agents - each likely to hold sensitive information on President Joe Biden and the embarrassing pictures, videos and communications of his son.

The third laptop still appears to be missing – and was taken by Russian drug dealers after they partied with Hunter in Vegas, he told a prostitute in a conversation caught on camera.

After filming himself having sex with the woman using his laptop in January 2019, Hunter left the camera rolling as he recounted a Vegas bender in which he spent ‘18 days going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite,’ sometimes costing $10,000 a night.

‘I spent f***ing crazy amounts of money,’ Hunter said. ‘I was with these guys. The one guy was, not like you anyway… each night he’d be like ‘there’s going to be so many people here, crazy f***ing party’ and each night it’s nobody.’”

Hunter Biden’s Upcoming Art Show Raises Ethical Questions

On September 23, The New York Post reported the following:


“Hunter Biden’s upcoming art show is facing a fresh coat of scrutiny.

The ranking Republican on the House Oversight Committee is demanding the gallery owner hosting the exhibition detail the ethics rules in place to block the identities of the buyers from the White House.

The art show could earn the First Son millions.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) sent a letter obtained by The Post to Hunter’s New York art dealer, Georges Berges, insisting that he provide documents about the ethical arrangements worked out with the White House and brief the panel on the potential buyers who attended the opening, and the purchasers of the younger Biden’s work.

‘The documents requested from you will inform and are pertinent to our oversight of any​ ​attempts to seek improper influence with the Biden Administration by anonymous benefactors,​ ​and understanding the process you are purportedly undertaking to shield the Administration from any influence by those procuring Mr. Biden’s art​,’ Comer wrote in the letter, which was sent on Thursday. ‘Additionally, your documents and information​ ​could inform legislation related to ethics regulations​,’ the congressman continued. ​The letter to Berges is a follow-up to one sent on Sept. 7 requesting documents about the sale, in which the novice artist’s works will sell for between $75,000 and $500,000 apiece.”

Total ABC, CBS, NBC evening news coverage: 2 minutes, 16 seconds. The only mention of the ethical dilemma surrounding Hunter Biden’s art show came in a July 12 NBC Nightly News report by correspondent Stephanie Gosk. ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News have yet to touch the art show scandal.

Hunter Biden Repeatedly Drops the “N” Word

On June 8, The Daily Mail reported the following:


“Hunter Biden used the n-word multiple times in conversation with his white, $845-per-hour lawyer, his text messages reveal.

The shocking texts may prove embarrassing for his father President Joe Biden, who just last week gave a speech decrying racism on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre, and has sought to portray racial justice as a top priority for his administration.

The president's son joked in a January 2019 text to corporate attorney George Mesires about a ‘big penis’, and said to the lawyer: ‘I only love you because you’re black’ and ‘true dat n***a’.

In another text a month earlier he wrote to the Chicago lawyer saying: ‘how much money do I owe you. Becaause (sic) n***a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates.’

Mesires replied: ‘That made me snarf my coffee.’

Hunter added: ‘That’s what im saying ni…’, cutting off the racial slur mid-word, then texted a picture to Mesires.”

Why Fly Commercial When You Can Fly Air Force One?

On May 22, Alex Marlowe reported the following on Breitbart.com:


“According to Secret Service travel records obtained by Judicial Watch, then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter took 411 trips across 29 countries between 2009 and the middle of 2014. That includes 23 flights into or out of Joint Base Andrews — home to Air Force One and Air Force Two.

These trips, which shed light on Hunter’s involvement with his father, are revealed in Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, my new book exploring the corruption that drove the establish media to cover up the Hunter Biden scandal.

Despite this evidence that there was not an “absolute wall” between Hunter and Joe when it comes to business endeavors, the establishment press has shown little interest in exploring whether Hunter was actually leveraging his father’s power to enrich himself.”
