‘Corruption Is Cancer’ Crooked Joe Clip Surfaces After House GOP’s DAMNING Presser On Biden Family Corruption
NOTE: This article may include commentary reflecting the author’s position.
“Corruption is a cancer, a cancer that eats away at a citizen’s faith in democracy,” said Joe Biden in Bucharest, Romania in 2014.
Then-Vice President Biden was addressing students and civil society groups and warning the former Soviet-occupied nation about how government corruption undermines public trust in democracy.
The video clip was first posted by anonymous Twitter user Maze as House Republicans were holding a presser about the investigation into Joe Biden and the Biden “family business” which appears to be one cash-for-access scheme that would make the Clintons blush.
The GOP House Oversight Committee revealed that bank records showed that millions of dollars from countries known for corruption flowed into the accounts of at least nine Biden family members and a that Hunter Biden had created a convoluted network of LLCs after Joe Biden became Veep.
2014. Bucharest, Romania. VP Biden lectures the Romanian Civil Society on the dangers of corruption.
Biden was either already taking or about to start taking bribes from corrupt Romanian businessmen.

One interesting tidbit revealed in Wednesday morning’s presser is that while Joe Biden was busy sitting atop his high horse warning Romanians about the dangers of government corruption, over $1 million was paid out to Biden family members from Cypriot, a company run by a man named Gabriel Popoviciu who was being investigated for criminal corruption in Romania at the time. He was later found guilty of bribery-related offenses.
It certainly pays to be a Biden.
The video was then picked up by the anonymous investigative reporter, KanekoaTheGreat who posted a fantastic thread that includes the receipts.
While VP Joe Biden lectured Romanian politicians about corruption, the Biden family received over a million dollars from a Romanian real estate tycoon accused of corruption.

In what appears to be an effort to conceal the source of the payment, the Romanian businessman wired money to Biden business associate Rob Walker, who then transferred money from his business account to his personal account before paying Hunter Biden. pic.twitter.com/41aC6XIBhw

In the third transaction, Hunter Biden, Hallie Biden, and an unknown "Biden" each received funds that originated from a Romanian businessman convicted of bribery.

No wonder Biden kept changing the subject to Trump when he was asked about his son Hunter’s business dealings.
"But Trump…"
During the campaign, when asked about his corruption, Biden's response was always "but Trump."
And that was a good enough answer for our media. pic.twitter.com/7nTGlD5Ykq

Let’s be real, Biden’s responses about Hunter’s massive payments from countries known for greasing palms never made sense — he said that his son didn’t do anything wrong, but that he never spoke to him about his business deals. Which is it? It can’t be both since Joe wouldn’t know if Hunter had done something wrong if he had never spoken to him about it.
Of course, that was all just a lie to cover up, but now we have evidence that Biden knew about Hunter’s sketchy business dealings thanks to the Laptop From Hell and the fearless journalists that were digging into the terabytes of information on there alongside the salacious photos of drug abuse and Hunter’s amateur porn videos with prostitutes saved on there.
Normally, if Joe Biden said he didn’t know anything about a subject, I’d believe him, but not in this case.
How do I know? He invokes Beau’s death whenever he wants to play on the media’s sympathy to end the questions.
December, 2019.
You didn't know that it was wrong for your son to take money from corrupt foreign companies while you were VP?
Nobody told me it was wrong.
Yes they did.
Um…Beau Biden. pic.twitter.com/hq4JeHbsko

The presser was damning, but you know that the Partisan Presstitutes are going to do their best not to cover it, or make it look like the GOP are harassing the poor, old, frail, demented Joe Biden.
With the rise of alternative media, that’s not going to work.
Even more Biden family members were implicated. We’re now up to nine.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chair of the House Oversight Committee listed the Biden family members that received funds from foreign nationals.
“Joe Biden’s son, Joe Biden’s brother, Joe Biden’s brother’s wife, Hunter Biden’s girlfriend, or Beau Biden’s widow—however, want to write that—Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Hunter Biden’s current wife and three children of the president’s son and the president’s brother,” said Rep. Comer.
“So we’re talking about grandchild a grandchild. That’s odd,” said Comer. “Most people that work hard every day, grandchild doesn’t get a wire from a foreign national or anything like that.”
From the Daily Mail:
On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Republicans led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., released a ‘Second Records Memorandum’ that expands on information it received from subpoena returns as the committee continues its investigation into the Biden family’s business practices.
The memo specifically outlines the Biden family’s ties to Romanian ‘influence peddling’ and a web of LLCs created while Biden was vice president. It also accuses President Biden for a ‘lack of transparency’ regarding his family’s receipt of funds from China, which he has said are ‘not true.’
It details the efforts by the family to hide, conceal and confuse sources of money – including more China money, according to a committee aide.
‘It is inconceivable that the president did not know it, and the White House refuses to correct the President’s statement … the president is now using the federal government to run interference for his family and his own role in these schemes,’ said Comer during a press conference announcing the memo Wednesday.
During Biden’s time as vice president, there were 20 companies affiliated with certain Biden family members created intentionally with a ‘complicated corporate structure’ the memo states.
Hunter Biden and his associates, including Rob Walker, formed ‘at least 15’ of those companies, after Biden took the office of the vice president in 2009.
Several of those entities including Owasco P.C. – which Hunter owned – Hudson West III, LLC, Robinson Walker, LLC, and Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC, accepted funds from foreign companies ranging from $5,000 to $3 million, the committee says.
This specifically is ‘evidence of influence peddling and a correlation between Biden family and their business associates’ work, allege the Republicans who point to multiple anti-corruption speeches and meetings with Romanian leaders then-Vice President Biden engaged in between 2014 and 2015.

In case you missed the GOP presser this morning, here’s the video. Below the video is a thread posted on Twitter laying out the main points.
We have now established a network of over 20 companies formed by the Bidens and their associates.
Most of these companies were LLCs and formed when Joe Biden was Vice President.— Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) May 10, 2023
What services did the Bidens provide in exchange for this money?
It is unclear what they provided other than access and influence.— Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) May 10, 2023
The Bidens took steps to hide, confuse, and conceal payments they received from foreign nationals. Here’s one example how a CCP-linked associate layered domestic limited liability companies to pay Hunter Biden. pic.twitter.com/GCx81QbrP3

In addition to the China money ties, we are adding a new country to our growing list of places the Bidens received money from:
Romania.
The Biden family and associates’ activities in Romania reveal an influence peddling scheme from 2015 to 2017.— Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) May 10, 2023
The Bidens received over $1 million for the Romania deal, with 16 of the 17 payments made during Biden’s VP term.
The money stops flowing from Romania soon after Joe Biden leaves office, establishing a pattern of influence peddling.

.@RepJamesComer will soon issue more subpoenas to banks for specific, targeted information.
In addition, he will provide one more opportunity for certain Biden associates—including his art gallerist and Rob Walker—to cooperate willingly with this investigation.
— Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) May 10, 2023
Ultimately, we believe the Biden family and their associates courted business in countries that correlated directly with Joe Biden’s work as Vice President.
This is also not normal.
It is not ethical.
And this is why we are working towards legislative solutions.

Perhaps getting the entire family involved was a way for Good Ol’ Scranton Joe to hide his wealth and keep his street cred as the honest politician that hasn’t used his position to enrich himself.
Here he is in 2018 telling Democrats that his net worth is only between $55-150k.
Ready to laugh?

Only Democrats could believe that giant pile of B.S!
Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
