As we reported the other day, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) dropped some big truth bombs on CNN host Abby Phillip over Joe Biden and money from Chinese nationals.
The biggest problem was her confessed cluelessness when it came to the question.
“I’m still waiting to see the proof of Joe Biden enriching himself. I take his brother and his son, perhaps,” CNN host Abby Phillip said. Then as I noted, Lawler did lay out a direct line.

The tweet continues:
REP. MIKE LAWLER: “I’ll give you the direct line. A Chinese company transferred money to a shell company owned by Hunter and Jim Biden that then transferred money directly to Jim and Sarah Biden’s shell company that then transferred the money to Jim and Sarah’s personal account, who then immediately wrote a check for $40,000 to Joe Biden. So to say that there was no evidence is not true.”

But this is just sophistry from the media, and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley punctured it on two fronts, as our friends at Townhall reported. Not only did Turley call her wrong, but he said her point was “legally irrelevant.”
…It is not only factually wrong but legally irrelevant. As I stated in my testimony in the Biden impeachment hearing, enriching your family is treated the same under corruption statutes…https://t.co/1lCpLXuo6p

“Enriching your family is treated the same under corruption statutes,” Turley declared on X.
But then again, why doesn’t Phillip know all about the money and connections that we’ve been reporting on for years? Because it doesn’t serve the purposes of the narrative and could harm the magical “D?” Some news outlet.
“Phillip appears willing to accept that Hunter and his uncle enriched themselves with influence peddling but somehow believes that that does not implicate the subject of the influence peddling, Joe Biden,” Turley continued.
“Putting aside the fact that millions flowed to the Biden family, Phillip ignores how Joe Biden repeatedly lied about not meeting these clients or knowing anything about Hunter’s dealings,” Turley said, finishing her and Joe Biden off.
Phillip doesn’t mention in that clip the new pictures from America First Legal confirm our reporting and show Joe and Hunter variously with President Xi as well as Hunter’s business associates.

Yet, repeatedly, Joe Biden lied and said he never discussed his son’s business, while meeting with the associates and even helping to fly Hunter to meet with them on our dime in China.
“[Joe Biden] never said he has never spoken to anyone about Hunter Biden’s business dealings.”
