House GOP Chairman Unpacks ‘Tax Focus’ Of Biden Impeachment Inquiry | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Impeachment investigators "need answers" on President Joe Biden's tax returns, according to a top House Republican.

    In an interview that aired on Sunday, Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) explained to Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo how his panel's "tax focus" is part of the impeachment inquiry against Biden.

    "We have now seen checks going to President Biden of $240,000 as loan repayments to" his brother James Biden, Smith said on "Sunday Morning Futures."

    "But if you look at the president's tax returns that he has released publicly, there's no documentation of any interest income that he has received for any loans that he had granted towards anyone," he added. "So, we need answers to those questions to make sure that people are being accurate on their tax forms."

    Republican lawmakers allege a pair of "loan repayment" checks to Joe Biden, one for $200,000 from James Biden in 2018 and another $40,000 from James Biden's wife Sarah in 2017, could have been funded by laundered Chinese money and influence peddling schemes.

    Democrats claim bank records "show that in 2017 and 2018, while President Biden was not in office, he provided two short-term loans to his brother, James, who repaid each loan within two months."

    But the White House rebuffed a request by House Republicans seeking further documentation underlying the larger payment, stressing the financial transaction took place "between two family members at a time when both individuals were private citizens."

    Evidence conflicting with President Biden's denials about his family's business dealings, particularly when it comes to his son Hunter Biden earning money from China, has fanned suspicions among Republicans.

    One area of interest is a 2017 WhatsApp message in which Hunter Biden pressed a Chinese business partner for payment by invoking his father sent just weeks before the date of the $40,000 "loan repayment" check.

    Smith lamented how the Department of Justice has pushed back on efforts to get some officials to testify, including from the agency's Tax Division, which he said is "quite important."

    The chairman also noted that subpoenas have been issued to Hunter and James Biden, as well as others, to testify in the coming weeks. "Hopefully, they will come forward, because we have to get answers to numerous questions that still are left out there," Smith said.

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.

Now that the public is allowed to know the truth regarding the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal, after more that 2 1/2 years of deception by the corrupt Corporate Media Kabal, propropagandidats all, and the discredited Deep State, we have NOW learned that the infamous laptop is far less about the Biden Boy's fetish for pornography, narcotics and Russian whores, and far more about Hunter's pivotal role in the Biden Crime Syndicate's selling of deep access to our foreign adversaries, and to what extent it has compromised our national security: What is your opinion about this possible coordinated Treason?

  It is imperative that we know the truth of what may be the greatest scandal in our Republic's history, and all aforementioned parties prosecuted for their crimes against the People.

  Currently, our Two Tiered Justice System is constructed to protect all Democratic Socialists, their corrupt "Journalist" spokes-sheople, and their Deep State enablers ... so why bother.

  It is Donald Trump's fault.

  How can we be assured that the "Laptop" is real? Would NOT our standard journalists have investigated this issue thoroughly nearly 3 years ago if it was real?

After nearly 8 months of the United States House of Representatives' Oversight Committee hearings, House Speaker Mike Johnson is pursuing an Impeachment Inquiry into the strong allegations of Bribery, Influence Peddling, Money laundering and possible Treason regarding the Biden Family Shell Corporations' business dealings with foreign nations that are adversarial to our survival: Is it prudent and wise for the Republican controlled U.S. House to investigate this Democratic Socialist President?

  No, Democratics should never be investigated because they are so superior to their Republican counterparts, and care so much more.

  Yes, in a Constitutional Republic, bound by the Rule of Law, no one is above the law, and that law must be applied evenly.

  Not sure ... Now, what got all this started?
