The only members of the Biden family who didn’t get a cut from the shady influence peddling deals were the pets. Jonathan Turley had some choice things to say about the latest revelations from the House Oversight Committee.
Dirty deals weren’t cheap
The Biden family was apparently up to their aviators in dirty foreign business deals and they certainly weren’t done dirt cheap. Political scholar Jonathan Turley sat down with Fox to explain some of the finer points of what’s going on.
There are a whole lot of moving pieces in the Oversight Committee investigation which could use some context and explanation. The latest allegations include “details about several LLCs” which “confirm our worst expectations” about the “family business.”
Even the Corleone family of The Godfather fame had an olive oil business that they could point to as a source of legitimate income. The Biden family doesn’t have any legitimate business to justify the millions of dollars they sucked in from America’s “adversaries.”

Enemies of Uncle Sam including China and Russia are only two of the clients Hunter Biden cut big deals with. Ukraine, Iran, and Mexico are on the list, as well.
One of the most striking things to come out of the probe is the vast number of bank accounts benefiting at least nine family members who have been identified, so far, as benefiting from the potentially criminal deals.
That includes “grandkids who, according to bank records, received funds from foreign business dealings.” The way Turley puts it, “the only people not on that list are the pets. Major is not mentioned, but otherwise, every generation seemed to get a dividend.”
Divide the proceeds
Turley did mention one occupation keeping the Biden family busy, “dividing up the proceeds.” It’s interesting to note that “the difference is that this family business had dozens of LLCs and accounts that seemed designed to hide these payments.” The law professor further explained that “there’s no cognizable reason why you would create this labyrinth of LLCs and accounts unless you were trying to hide the trail.”
That’s what makes these deals especially suspicious to congress. It’s “not clear what the family business is other than politics. And many of us have said for years that the Biden family is notorious for influence peddling.”
This, Turley adds, “seems to confirm our worst expectations.” Joe has been hiding from the press since Wednesday. That’s when the House Oversight Committee panel led by Chairman James Comer “shared new information about their investigation into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings.”

It’s clear from the evidence that Joe himself “has been involved” in his family’s foreign business dealings “from the very beginning.” Now that details about the deals are coming to light, we’re learning important information including the amounts, the distribution through a web of shell companies, and the fact that the money is coming from questionable sources.
Democrats are countering that the committee hasn’t yet proven the specific policy decisions Joe Biden made in exchange for all that cash. The big answer to that is the congressional probe is just starting.
A better question to ask would be why hasn’t the Department of Justice or the FBI or IRS or Treasury done their own investigations in the two years or longer which they knew about the suspicious activity. That, right there, is the subject of more congressional investigations. All the dirty details of the latest deals were made public in a 30 page memo.
