Biden Family Bank Records Subpoenaed as Impeachment Inquiry Heats Up | Crossroads

Good evening and welcome to Crossroads. The impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has officially begun. The first hearing was held yesterday. House investigators laid out the evidence to justify the inquiry, and there technically wasn't anything new that was brought up. It was a recap of findings that various House committees have uncovered through past interviews with witnesses and through requests for records. Of course, many people have not seen them because a lot of media doesn't even cover it. But they went over information from IRS whistleblowers. They detailed what we now know from text messages and emails between the members of the Biden family, including President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. But what was likely the most consequential part of all this came right after the hearing. What followed was an announcement on the next step. And this is where we get the new information. They're going after the bank records of Hunter Biden and of Joe Biden's brother, James Biden. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer detailed this in an official announcement. He wrote that from day one of our investigation of Joe Biden's abuse of public office, we've followed the money. And that continues with today's subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden's bank records. Bank records don't lie. And coupled with witness testimony, they reveal that Joe Biden abused his public office for his family's financial gain. Now, it notes that they've already received some of these records. They allege they can show right now, so far at least, that the Biden family has received $24 million in a global influence peddling scheme. But the investigation is, of course, ongoing. Chairman Comer said that so far the bank records show a pattern. He's alleging that as the Bidens were sealing deals around the world, Joe Biden showed up, met with, talked with, shook hands with, and had meetings with the foreign nationals sending money to his family. And he said, this culture of corruption demands further investigation. Now, during the first hearing, the one yesterday, Representative Clay Higgins described what Republicans have been able to find so far and the evidence of suspicious transactions. These went from people in other countries to multiple shell companies tied to the Biden family. One of the gentlemen said there's no credibility to this evidence. Let me say, as an investigator, there's perhaps no category of evidence that's more credible than bank records. And bank records is what we're working with. The House Oversight Committee, Judiciary Committee, Ways and Means Committee have investigated highly suspicious money transactions from foreign powers through shell companies to Biden family members. There's nothing more credible in an investigative effort could serve than bank records. Now, as he explains, bank records are among the more solid pieces of evidence he can get for an investigation like this. But they still need more. The missing link that Democrats have been pointing to is the hard evidence that President Biden was getting any of the money with all these different deals. It's this key piece of evidence that would show whether Joe Biden himself was profiting from all this. Representative Jasmine Crockett stated during the hearing the general line that the Democrats are using. Let me show you. But I will tell you what the president has been guilty of. He has unfortunately been guilty of loving his child unconditionally. And that is the only evidence that they have brought forward. And honestly, I hope and pray that my parents love me half as much as he loves his child. Until they find some evidence, we need to get back to the people's work, which means keeping this government open so that people don't go hungry in the streets of the United States. And I will yield. Now, it's largely acknowledged at this point that other members of the Biden family were engaged in foreign deals. Their relations to President Biden are a big card to play in making these deals. Yet, while it may seem dirty to profit from these family ties and powerful positions in the government, it's not technically illegal, although there's other evidence of crimes. At least not for the public officials. This isn't technically illegal. The sons, the daughters and spouses of many elected officials do things exactly like this with foreign powers and major businesses. It was part of the big controversy, you might remember, under the Obama administration with Bill Clinton. He was getting money and paid speeches to the Clinton Foundation, while then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was working on policies, interestingly, tied to some of those same organizations making those deals. It's suspicious when an elected leader passes legislation or crushes an investigation, and then it turns out their family members were making deals tied to all that. And it raises concerns among the public that the official action was tied to the backroom deals. The unfortunate reality is that a debatably legal business has grown out of this type of activity, and it's pretty widespread in Washington. But there's still a fine line that can't be crossed. That fine line is whether the official is getting a kickback, and that's where the law comes in. Of course, they can't necessarily have transactions in the open if they're doing that. Officials aren't going to incriminate themselves like this if they can engage in this type of corruption. This is where the money laundering comes into play, and this is where the bank records come in. With Biden, there's a whole lot of circumstantial evidence, classified documents he took home when he was senator and vice president, foreign payments going to his home address in Delaware, public statements, calls, text messages tied in with his family, meetings in person, and related also to some of Hunter Biden's deals throughout all of it or most of it. It's very suspicious to say the least. In court, you would call this circumstantial evidence, but that hard line, the cold hard facts that the Democrats are calling for, those are likely going to be in the bank records. Now, the bank records would show where the money went, which is why they need them. They show the money trail, and this is important because we now know that there were transactions. We know there were shell companies. We know there was talk of percentages in the deals to the big guy, quote unquote. We know President Biden was using pseudonyms, several of them, in some of these communications. We know all of the systems were in place to justify suspicion. Well, everyone, that's it for YouTube. For the rest of the episode, come join us on Epic TV, epochtv.com. We have some important content coming up. We talk about Jeff Carlson of Truth Over News, talking about what's happened with the Biden impeachment inquiry and the evidence not yet being discussed that widely. He's been following a lot of this for a long time and has a lot of great information that I think needs to get out there. We'll also be talking with the sheriff down in Kinney County in Texas about the border crisis and what you're not being told, who is really behind it, who's running the buses, where are the orders coming from. It'll be a great discussion. So, again, join us on Epic TV, epochtv.com. They're a flash sale, 25 cents a week, and I will see you there. People from 160 countries illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border and get themselves up to Border Patrol. But what about the ones who evade Border Patrol? These are known as the Gottaways. You can safely assume that anybody that went through the extra effort to avoid U.S. Border Patrol was not an asylum seeker by default. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but somewhere down the road if somebody rapes and kills somebody and we find out that they came through here on my watch, that's unacceptable. These men had surrounded my house. They were banging on my back door. They were banging on my front door. You can't understand it unless you're out here seeing it. 21 dead bodies on the road. Code 3, respond. Is it wrong to ask people to come to your front door of your home? It's fine. Then why would it be wrong to ask people to come to the front door of our nation? Their primary goal is to circumvent the checkpoints, go undetected. People that do not want to surrender, those are going to be the potential terrorists, the criminals, the real threat to the U.S. We were hoping the federal government would step in and do something, but they didn't. We have no clue who they are or where they go. That's the scary part.
