House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today announced the committee obtained bank records revealing a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check. In September, Chairman Comer issued three subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden’s personal and business bank records.

In 2018, James Biden received $600,000 in loans from, Americore—a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator. According to bankruptcy court documents, James Biden received these loans “based upon representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”

On March 1, 2018, Americore wired a $200,000 loan into James and Sara Biden’s personal bank account – not their business bank account. On the same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check from this same personal bank account to Joe Biden. 

Chairman Comer released a video outlining this direct payment and the questions President Biden must answer for the American people.

Lol remember when we were pointing out that Joe got Hunter a greasy sinecure job in Ukraine and it was obvious naked blatant unappologetic corruption and all the libs were yelling at us to shut up because it was normal and anyway then Genocide Joe decides to up and start a war there?

Man, fuck all this bullshit.

The cool thing about Genocide Joe is that he's such a fucking loser that after a lifetime of wielding the knife for some of the worst parts of the American Empire and harming countless millions of people he is still, by evil politician standards, flat broke. He's just always been too stupid to get paid.

Biden offers the best value in terms of cost and efficiency. That makes him a great presidential candidate.

If they had any evidence at all that Genocide Joe had actually given a favor to these guys I think they'd be leading with that. So far it just sounds like his brother made an implication about the family name, which is basically the pattern in all of this stuff - Joe Biden is the only one in his family who actually has political clout, but all of his relatives are constantly making hamfisted attempts to claim access to it and tricking rubes into paying for it.
