The left has had quite a transition from Joe was not involved to “there’s no direct evidence” of Joe Biden’s corruption in office. So, the House Oversight Committee published a list of 22 examples of Biden’s corruption.
These are facts, not suppositions.
The sold-out members of the left-wing media have really done some spinning over the news that Hunter Biden illegally sold Joe Biden’s influence — WITH Joe’s participation in the scheme — to foreign operatives who will pay millions to get a vice president and later a president in their pocket.
The media started insisting that Joe Knew nothing whatever and never talked to Hunter about the scion’s shady business deals.
They have morphed to the weasely worded “there is no direct evidence” that Joe sold his office to our enemies. Of course, that isn’t how it works, and they know it. There won’t be any check that says “From Ukraine’s dirty businessman to Joe Biden” on them.
But if you want to see how it worked, check out this video that shows precisely how Joe and Hunter played the game:
And if you want a paper trail, here is the List the House committee released:
• 1) In July 2023, former Biden business associate Devon Archer described how Joe Biden was “The Brand” and was used to send “signals” of power, access, and influence to enrich the Biden family from foreign sources.

Later that day, Ms. Bedingfield responded to Mr. Schwerin, saying, “V.P. signed off on this[.]” According to Devon Archer, after a Burisma board of directors meeting in Dubai on the evening of December 4, 2015, Hunter Biden “called D.C.” to discuss pressure that Burisma asked him to relieve.
• 9) In May 2017, James Gilliar, a Biden family associate, emailed Hunter Biden and other associates to formalize how they would divide the profit from their deal with CEFC, a Chinese Communist Party-linked energy company.

• 13) On August 3, 2017, Hunter Biden claimed, “The Biden’s are the best I know at doing exactly what the Chairman wants from this partnership[.] Please, let’s not quibble over peanuts.” The Chairman is Ye Jianming is, a Chinese billionaire tied to a CCP intelligence gathering agency.
