White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stormed out of a press briefing Wednesday when asked if Joe Biden’s son, crack cocaine aficionado Hunter Biden, should comply with the subpoena that has been issued against him by Rep. James Comer’s House Oversight Committee. Hunter Biden is compelled to appear in front of the House Oversight Committee in December as Biden family business dealings continue to complicate the wartorn world.
Karine Jean-Pierre, not wearing her favored confrontational orange today, bristled at a Hunter-themed question, and she made it clear to the press corps that she was having a bit of an emotional moment. So far, Jean-Pierre has not seemed quite as frazzled in the job as Jen Psaki, but that is an extremely low bar. Here is the White House press secretary storming out of a room when asked about a subpoena of her boss’ son:
The Republican-controlled U.S. House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas for Hunter Biden, plus Joe Biden’s brother James Biden and a third man named Robert Walker, who has done business with Hunter Biden. The business dealings of Hunter Biden — including deals involving Ukraine and Communist China — present massive national security vulnerabilities for the United States of America. What took the Oversight Committee so long?
Is the House impeachment inquiry actually trying now? Hunter Biden is compelled to appear before the House Oversight Committee in early December, following Walker and James Biden. Will Hunter manage to weasel his way out of it? Certainly, there is a lot of material to cover with Hunter Biden, who has used crack cocaine and fashioned for himself a lifestyle of debauchery, to the embarrassment of America.
Addressing the issue of why it took so long, Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida referred to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the man that Gaetz’s “Courageous 8” caucus ousted from the speakership with a motion to vacate, prompting 22 days of chaos on Capitol Hill before Republicans elected Mike Johnson of Louisiana. Was Kevin McCarthy responsible for blocking the Oversight Committee from doing its job?
“Finally Hunter Biden got a damn subpoena,” Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida stated Wednesday. “When we had the California lottery winner instead of a constitutional lawyer in the Speaker’s office, you weren’t exactly seeing the subpoenas fly in a way that demonstrated sincerity and rigor to a real investigation. But now with Mike Johnson in the Speaker’s office, we get the news…”
The Hunter Biden subpoena is a major step forward for the Freedom side. However, it is concerning that House Oversight chairman Rep. James Comer of Kentucky waited so long before he finally issued these important subpoenas. James Comer has been the chairman of the Oversight Committee for more than TEN months!
If Kevin McCarthy was somehow preventing Comer from issuing subpoenas, as Gaetz suggests, then James Comer has an obligation to reveal that information to the American people. How does the Republican machine work? And is it really working differently now under Mike Johnson? With a possible government shutdown looming in nine days, Matt Gaetz still has a lot of leverage over Johnson because Matt Gaetz can consistently rally members of his caucus to stand with him on important issues. Hopefully, if Gaetz keeps up the pressure then Mike Johnson will grant more concessions to the American people, who don’t really have a lobby representing them in Washington, D.C.
It will be interesting to witness how the mainstream media reacts to the subpoenas against Joe Biden in light of a New York Times report showing massive political liabilities and lack of support for the aging demagogue. Will Joe Biden actually be the Democrat candidate for President in 2024? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has staked out independent status in the race because the Democratic National Committee was already rigging the path to the nomination against him. But with public backlash to the railroading of President Trump, the American people are more demanding than ever that Republicans actually do something to stop the corruption soaking our political process and leading us brazenly into a possible World War 3 involving Russia, China, and Israel and Gaza, and affecting all of the peoples of the world. Will Peace prevail?
As NATIONAL FILE reported in 2020, more than 3 years ago: Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s firm Rosemont Seneca Partners partnered in Bohai Harvest RST, a new investment firm backed by the Chinese government, in 2013 within two weeks of Hunter accompanying father Joe on an official state trip. On that trip, Joe met with son Hunter and Jonathan Li, who became Bohai Harvest RST’s CEO. These facts were unearthed in The New York Post by Peter Schweizer and Jacob McLeod. Hunter’s reported investment in Bohai Harvest RST is under fire from progressive journalist Lee Fang, who noted that Bohai invested in technology used by the Chinese government to carry out surveillance on Muslims.
Bohai Harvest RST invested in the China General Nuclear Power Company (CGN). That company represents potentially the biggest political landmine for any presidential candidate in modern history, considering that the U.S. Justice Department charged CGN in April 2016 on an espionage charge in 2016, alleging conspiracy to unlawfully engage and participate in the production and development of special nuclear material outside the United States which could cause “significant damage to our national security,” according to a press release from the Senate Finance Committee chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley.
In an April 14, 2016 DOJ press release, Assistant Attorney General John P. Carlin stated, “Allen Ho, at the direction of a Chinese state-owned nuclear power company allegedly approached and enlisted U.S. based nuclear experts to provide integral assistance in developing and producing special nuclear material in China. Ho did so without registering with the Department of Justice as an agent of a foreign nation or authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy. Prosecuting those who seek to evade U.S. law by attaining sensitive nuclear technology for foreign nations is a top priority for the National Security Division.”
In 2017, Allen Ho was sentenced to 24 months in prison, according to a DOJ press release.
In August 2019, Republican Senate Finance Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley sounded the alarm about Bohai Harvest RST buying an American automotive technology company that had “reported military applications,” according to the Finance Committee press release.
“For example, one of the companies involved in the Henniges transaction was a billion dollar private investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). BHR was formed in November of 2013 by a merger between the Chinese-government linked firm, Bohai Capital, and a company named Rosemont Seneca Partners. Rosemont Seneca was reportedly formed in 2009 by Hunter Biden, the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, Chris Heinz, the stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry, and others,” Sen. Chuck Grassley stated.
