Turley Explains How Dem ‘Tripped The Wire’ On Joe Biden In IRS Whistleblower Hearing | Eastern North Carolina Now

    George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said a House Democrat "tripped the wire" on President Joe Biden during a hearing Wednesday.

    The legal expert argued that an exchange between Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) and one of the witnesses, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower Gary Shapley, undermined the president's denial that he ever spoke to his son Hunter about the younger Biden's business dealings.

    Goldman pointed to a moment in Shapley's prior testimony in which he quoted Hunter Biden business associate Rob Walker informing the FBI that Hunter Biden told his father at a lunch meeting with executives at the Chinese energy firm CEFC, "I may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys."

    "Now, let me ask you something," Goldman said. "That doesn't sound much like Joe Biden was involved in whatever Hunter Biden was doing with the CEFC, if Hunter Biden is telling him that he's trying to do business with them, does it?"

    In response, Shapley said, "No but it does show that he told his father that he was trying to do business and he was talking to his father about the business."

    At that moment, Goldman threw his hands into the air and said, "Okay, well that is true. Hunter Biden does try to do business. That's correct."

    On Twitter, Turley said Goldman "just tripped the wire on Joe Biden," adding, "In trying to grill the whistleblowers to show that there is no evidence that Joe Biden was involved, he elicited an answer that the witnesses established that Joe Biden did discuss business deals of Hunter with the Chinese."

    "Goldman was trying to show that the witnesses did not mention a substantive role of Joe Biden, Shapley immediately noted that it did mean that he came to discuss one of the Hunter's deals. The President continues to deny that fact," he added.

    "Goldman prompted a sworn statement from the investigator that Biden did indeed discuss his son's business deals," Turley said. "In doing so, Goldman may have delivered one of the most damaging moments in the hearing for the Bidens."

    After Shapley made his point about Joe Biden talking to his son about business, Goldman went on to state that the IRS agent had "no direct evidence" connecting Joe Biden to Hunter Biden's business deals before moving on with his questioning.

    Turley, in ending his Twitter thread, said if Goldman had continued his line of inquiry about the Biden business deals for a few more minutes, it would have "sealed the case" for the appointment of a special counsel.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Considering that the 2024 Presidential Election has fully begun, and the Biden Administration has consequently fully weaponized the Biden DOJ /FBI to attack all political opponents under the penalty of felonious judgement for many of the same alleged crimes, or worse, committed by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden himself: Are you comfortable with this level of overt corruption within the Executive Branch?

  Yes; if Democratic Socialists are to complete the remaking of this "Democracy," the End will Always Justify the Means.

  No; in a Constitutional Republic, the Rule of Law is paramount, which means the law MUST be administered evenly

  Who cares; I am just so ambivalent to all this grown-up stuff.

In the face of a known scandal finally being revealed by the corrupt Legacy Media regarding Joe Biden, his Mishandling of Classified Documents and his long history of Influence Peddling to our Foreign Adversaries for Personal and Familial Profit: What do you believe the outcome will be in America's Leftist practice of a Two Tiered Justice System?

  Nothing will happen since the Democratic Socialist Left is corrupt to the core, and their non patriot ambitions are only the control of power.

  Justice WILL be served, but NOT without a tremendous fight by those willing to save the Republic.

  Why can't everyone else understand that the Left is special because we care so much for our own, especially the well being of the president and his family, especially Hunter.

  What difference does it make; I am a product of a failed public education system.
