JonathanTurley on Biden’s knowledge of his family’s influence-peddling — 23 Comments

  1. Democrats run America now, as they have run Chicago for decades. Amoral secular materialism grows and grows.
    I maintain adamantly that Democrats, including those in my own family, are stupid, ignorant or corrupt. One, or any combo of these features, will identify a Democrat.

  2. Turley reminds me of Andy McCarthy sometimes in that he makes good points on a lot of things but then misses the big picture completely.

  3. Turley and McCarthy analyze situations in 2023 and then think the response to said analysis should/will be like 1993.

  4. turley is more on the ball, but still naive about the response to malfeasance

  5. I am reminded of that letter signed by 51 “intelligence professionals” claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
    As a Naval Intelligence officer for 20 years I knew they were lying in their artfully crafted letter (since the likes of Clapper and Morrell will lie to Congress and get away with it they’ll certainly lie to the press and public). But more importantly I don’t believe anyone in the press was taken in either. They simply wanted someone to provide them a fig leaf so they could avoid covering a story tha

    t would have sunk Joe Biden’s candidacy.

    I expect they’ll cover this scandal the same way. They don’t care if the Bidens are on the are on the CCP payroll. In effect so are they. The big media/entertainment companies are addicted to.all the money they can make in the Chinese market. Then factor in they just hate Republicans. I don’t know how many other Democrats (and some Republicans) are on the CCP payroll, but it sure looks like all of them on the CCP team.

    […] In March 2019, Luft and his attorney, Robert Henoch, met in Brussels with FBI officers and Department of Justice officials. According to an associate of Luft’s, he shared information that CEFC officials had shared with him during his time working with them. According to Henoch, “Dr. Luft learned explosive information that someone was selling sealed U.S. law enforcement information to Chinese individuals.”

    Sources close to Luft say that he told the federal officials in Brussels that a former senior FBI or DOJ official referred to as “One-Eye” had made a deal with the Biden family in which “One-Eye” agreed to be paid to transfer classified information to a Biden family member, who, in turn, transferred it to Ye. That information, claim Luft’s associates, included the fact that the FBI was investigating Ye, and CEFC and intended to arrest Ye.

    According to Luft’s associates, when federal agents turned up at Ye’s apartment in New York to interview him after Ho’s arrest, Ye had already left America for China, leaving Ho “as the fall guy.” Luft’s associates claim that Luft told federal investigators that Ye had managed to slip out of the country and avoid arrest because “the Bidens had tipped him off.”

    Six weeks after Luft met with the federal agents in Brussels, Biden announced that he was running for president. In December 2019, the FBI received a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop. In October 2020, Bobulinski authenticated the contents of the laptop.

    Luft’s associates claim that despite the investigators’ pledges to follow up on his claims, Luft never heard from them again.

    During the 2022 campaign for Congress, the Republicans ran on a pledge to investigate the allegations against Biden and his family arising from Hunter Biden’s laptop. On Nov. 1, 2022, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York issued an arrest warrant against Luft.

    Henoch explains: “The timing is critical. Dr. Luft gave information about corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. government in 2019. Nothing happened. Instead, four years later, the government issued a warrant for Dr. Luft’s arrest. It is clear Dr. Luft is being punished for the information that he gave to the DOJ as opposed to the DOJ investigating the information Dr. Luft provided. Dr. Luft is a whistleblower, and he is being punished for it.”

  7. Has anyone with brothers, sisters, and sons/daughters never asked, “How’re things at work?” Or “What’re you working on these days?” Can you imagine a family where such matters NEVER came up? I can’t.

    It’s becoming quite clear that the Biden family is an Irish version of the Mafia. They’re as greedy and corrupt as they can be and quite good at keeping their mouths shut. The bank records and the e-mails are tripping them up. Not to mention Hunter’s laptop. 🙂

    They followed the pattern of the Clinton crime family, who also took Chinese money, but are not as successful at evading the glare of investigation. Nor have they been associated with as many mysterious deaths as the Clintons. At least, it appears that way so far.

    What a lovely bunch of corruptocrats the Dems have given us.

    I’ve noticed in many cases where honest lefties seem to “get it” more than certain conservatives do.

  9. Turley is still naive about the Democrats in general. The issue is that Turley has a logical mind, and once he sees that something simply isn’t true, he stops believing it. Democrat politicians and most of their voters ignore questions of truth and falsity.

  10. Donald Trump is going to have to come out, and come out loud, about the Biden family. He is going to have to pull no punches – he is going to have to accuse them of being traitors! It will take months for the truth to come out, but it will.

    Nothing is to be gained by softening the message in any way. In fact, only by shocking the American citizenry, enduring the mockery of the media, and then proving the shock to be well founded, can the truth prevail. This will take enormous courage, in fact recklessness, and at this juncture only Donald Trump has it!

  11. “I’ve noticed in many cases where honest lefties seem to “get it” more than certain conservatives do.”

    Indeed, and similarly I’ve noticed many cases where flying pigs hold even tighter formations than the Blue Angels.

  12. If Joe had no stake in Hunter’s dealings, Hunter’s dealings should not taint Joe.
    Problem is Joe has a large stake in Hunter’s dealings, in fact Hunter’s dealings would be non-existent if it weren’t for Joe.

    But we need to be very careful about just screaming that Joe is bad because Hunter is doing bad things. That is an extremely dangerous and illegal attitude to take, punishing the father for the crimes of his son.
    Which of course is exactly what the left is all too eager to do, spread out guilt and punishment across generations, or even simply by association (“he knew Trump 20 years ago, THEREFORE he’s guilty” comes to mind).

  13. Ray Van Dune may have hit upon the only way that we can combat the inevitable Dem victory in 2024. Does anybody really believe that no matter who the Dems run, Biden, Harris, Newsom, Fetterman, that they wont fix the presidential election? So Ray’s idea for Trump to shout treason may be the only way for enough legitimate voters to save our country.

  14. It won’t matter, Grandpa. If Trump exposes the Bidens to the point that even the dem ballot printers won’t be able to cover for it, the dems will just make Biden disappear and someone else takes over as president, probably Harris, Warren, or Pelosi, and they’ll celebrate the “first female president” and may “first native american president” (despite that being debunked a hundred times over already).
    Which 2 items alone will get them a lot of votes, especially from women and minorities.

    At the moment, I don’t think that either in the US, Canada, Europe, or Australia and New Zealand the far left globalist elite can be dislodged from power without a major armed insurrection coordinated at a supranational level (as anything smaller will be put down by a multinational force). And I don’t see that happening, not successfully and certainly not during the 20 or so years (at most) I’ve left on this dirtball.

  15. Trump needs to focus on foreign policy. That and economics are his strengths. Talking about Biden’s crimes is important but he should not focus too much on that. Kari Lake has apparently succeeded in finding whistleblowers who say 130,000 mail in ballots had no valid signature verification. If she can prove this, it may be a chink in the Democrats’ fraud machine. Trump’s campaign in 2020 was run by two GOPe types who were more into spending money than detecting fraud. Kushner was probably running things too much. I think he was behind the decision not to fire Fauci and Brix. There is no way to litigate fraud after the election. It has to be prevented as much as possible.

  16. I kind of agree with JTW above but I also think a massive economic crisis is coming and soon. The Democrats are embedded in power like termites but, like termites, they might being the whole thing down.

  17. Although I find their work encouraging, I get very frustrated with the likes of Turley, McCarthy, and Taibbi. Their reporting is normally very good. In Matt Taibbi’s case, it’s entertaining and recently, ground-breaking. And the outrage that they manifest is sincere. But geez~! How long will it take for the penny to drop? When I listen to Taibbi and Walter Kirn on their weekly podcast it leaves me squirming to hear Taibbi get right up to the brink with his outrage over the social media censorship culture – and then refuse to look over the edge and absorb the entirety of what is going on. It’s really brought home to me how deeply entrenched beliefs can be: They are powerful filters. All three of them have a deep and unrecognized loyalty to the Establishment. They are willing to call out bad behavior, but unwilling to reject the model altogether on the basis of its corrupted policies.

  18. The following shows that the “smoking gun” email found on Hunter Biden’s laptop from Vadym Pozharskyi, sent on April 17, 2015, was cryptographically authenticated (i.e., provably not forged, i.e., provably not Russian disinfo). If the FBI didn’t know about this, it’s an indictment of their incompetence. If they did know about this, it’s additional proof they are politicized.

    Here is the source code and technical explanation of how the “meeting for coffee email” was cryptographically authenticated: https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/hunter-dkim

  19. Mike K – “Trump needs to focus on foreign policy. That and economics are his strengths. Talking about Biden’s crimes is important but he should not focus too much on that.”

    Have to disagree, Mike. The foreign corruption of the Presidency is the key to uncovering the foreign corruption of many of our agencies. The best policies don’t matter if such corruption makes it impossible to get elected, or impossible to carry them out even if you do. That’s where we are. We already found the person with great policies, and first he could not carry them out because of internal treachery, and finally he could not get re-elected.

    Either we destroy the Democrats, or they will destroy America.

    But we cannot destroy the Dems unless we first destroy the media, and we cannot destroy the media unless we get behind someone who isn’t scared of them – and that’s Trump! Nothing else matters, and nobody else matters!

  20. Democrats KNEW that the Clintons took cash from our enemies and gave the enemies complete access to all CIA files as well as top secret missile targeting technology. And Democrats did not care and do not care. We’ve seen this for decades.

    Dem voters know that their leaders are enemies of America. They not only don’t mind, they celebrate it.

    Foo is absolutely right. Liars, thieves, slanderers and cheats are garbage people. Worse than garbage people. They are evil.

    Not helpful?! The single most helpful thing that could possibly happen would be for honest, moral American patriots to finally realize that Big Brother is here, is evil, and is the Democratic party.

    The evidence has been building for decades. The Democrats are a crime family masquerading as a political party. They lie, steal, slander and cheat. They routinely and relentlessly betray America. They trash the constitution and the rule of law. They abuse power viciously.

    Calling them “garbage people” is mild. It doesn’t even adequately convey the full horror of who they are, what they have done and what they intend to do. They fully support the mutilation of children. They rally to support the execution of fully formed babies. How in the world are we going to resist this kind of evil if we continue to pretend that the difference between Democrats and the rest of us is some small policy disagreements about taxes, spending and regulation?!!!

    We can’t even say the name. How and when will we grow enough spine to fight back?

    Neo, please do all of us a huge favor. Instead of tut-tutting about word choice, how about you telling us your nouns? What words do you think are more accurate to describe the horrors that Big Brother has visited and intends to visit upon America?

  21. stan, are Democrat voters even human and do they have a soul? Just asking, as you seem to be speaking as the almighty.
