Ron Johnson had a tense exchange over the importance of the Hunter Biden story. After a while, Todd became agitated. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/video\/full-johnson-there-is-nothing-for-the-special-counsel-to-interview-me-about-159944261981\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asked<\/a>: \u201cSenator, do you have a crime that you think Hunter Biden committed? Because I\u2019ve yet to see anybody explain. It is not a crime to make money off of your last name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There can\u2019t be an investigation until we know for certain that something criminal occurred, but we can\u2019t know if anything criminal occurred until there\u2019s an investigation. Convenient. It is, however, not the standard journalist approach for examining past presidential wrongdoing. Todd regularly entertained notions about Donald Trump\u2019s alleged seditious conspiracy in 2016 \u2014 which would have been the most diabolical political crime in American history \u2014 without any tangible evidence of criminality. <\/p>\n<p>Hunter is also, and this is not surprising. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2022\/10\/06\/hunter-biden-tax-gun-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">under<\/a> Federal prosecutors in Delaware have launched a criminal investigation to investigate tax and gun charges. This case must have reached the threshold for criminal investigation. Todd is this not true?<\/p>\n<p>That said, a president doesn\u2019t necessarily have to break a specific criminal code to be corrupt. And this scandal isn\u2019t about Biden\u2019s son or his brother, but about Joe. Biden participated or profited from the family&#8217;s influence peddling. Or, at worst, he spent many years lying to Americans about his knowledge of the business. Even if we found pictures of Trump and Putin taking shots of Imperia vodka together to celebrate the defeat of American democracy, it still wouldn\u2019t change the fact Biden has much to answer for.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the following are some of the most important points to remember about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dXvmLeIXoBA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interview<\/a> Axios claims that Biden knew nothing about Hunter&#8217;s work with Burisma. The Ukrainian energy company was paying Biden $50,000 per month. Joe said he trusted Hunter, who had accepted a no-show job while his father was overseeing the Obama administration\u2019s policy in Ukraine. This firm was run by an oligarch that was being investigated for corruption. <\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden asserts that he is vice president because he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/video\/opinion-joe-biden-forced-ukraine-to-fire-prosecutor-for-aid-money\/C1C51BB8-3988-4070-869F-CAD3CA0E81D8.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">threatened<\/a> Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko with the withdrawal of United States aid if he didn\u2019t fire state prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma at the time. At the most, that was a serious conflict. In 2015, some Obama administration officials \u2014 not exactly right-wing conspiracy theorists \u2014 raised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/05\/01\/us\/politics\/biden-son-ukraine.html\">concerns<\/a> Information about Ukraine and the Bidens<\/p>\n<p>Because of the New York Post\u2019s investigation into Hunter\u2019s laptop \u2014 a story ignored by the Chuck Todds of the world for transparently partisan reasons \u2014 we also learned that an executive from Burisma thanked Hunter for facilitating a meeting between him and Joe while the latter was still vice president. The New York Times gingerly published this week&#8217;s story. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/11\/us\/politics\/hunter-biden-investigations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirmed<\/a> It is true that Biden met with Burisma representatives. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/23\/joe-biden-met-with-hunter-biden-business-partner-at-the-white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hunter\u2019s business partner<\/a> At least 19 visits were made to the Obama White House. Tony Bobulinski, a former Hunter associate, is known to be one of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Praetorian Guard, reporting for duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":831,"featured_media":1807480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[3620,4632,8773,6919,3751,3822,4055,4178,14988,5502],"class_list":["post-1807477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-biden","tag-chuck","tag-corruption","tag-federalist","tag-heres","tag-hunter","tag-investigating","tag-story","tag-todd","tag-worth"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1807477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/831"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1807477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1807477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1807480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1807477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1807477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1807477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
