On Wednesday morning, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene teamed up with Steve Bannon on the “War Room,” to discuss the ongoing deep state corruption.
Greene informed Steve Bannon that the Treasury has in its possession documents revealing payments made by Hunter Biden’s company to accounts associated with known prostitution rings.
Transcript as follows:
Steve Bannon: Nancy Mace said in these reports, as you’ve gone through them, the thickest file is in what you guys call human trafficking… People’s heads blow up when they see that. And I’m going to make sure as you and Congressman Mace have gone through and looked at these things, that the bank sent to treasury, the thickest file you go through is related to human trafficking. What does that mean?
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: Let me be clear. It’s not us labeling this ‘human sex trafficking.’ Those are the words used in the reports.
Steve Bannon: Hang on for a second. They have a summary report and it says “human sex trafficking” in the report.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: It also says prostitution rings… These are related to Hunter Biden and his law firm. His law firm with transactions paying people who were Wells Fargo customers who were involved in a “known prostitution ring” in what appears to be “alleged human sex trafficking.” I am quoting the report when I say that, and these reports have been in there for a very long time. This is the information that went public from the Hunter Biden laptop but is backed up with actual SARS reports in the Treasury from banks that state it as a fact, and then we have the bank statements to back it up.
Steve Bannon: …Did that go to the FBI? Did that go to the Justice Department? Did other entities? Because when reports done, it says human sex trafficking. Aren’t alarms supposed to go off inside? We pay $5 trillion for this. Aren’t alarms supposed to go off?
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: These reports have names, addresses, phone numbers, passports, passport numbers, birthdates of the people involved, in the transactions of the people involved in the known prostitution ring… These women, many of them are United States citizens, but there’s quite a few of them that are not. They are Russian and Ukrainian. Russian and Ukrainian.
Now we already know that Eric Swalwell had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy that created serious national security complications. What we need to understand is did Hunter Biden, by being so involved in drug use and not in control of himself and having repeated, repeated, repeatedly paying for prostitutes from Russia and Ukraine.
What kind of danger did he put America in? What were these women exposed to? What information were they able to learn? What information were they able to gain? What do they know and what do Russia and Ukraine know based on Hunter Biden paying for sex, being involved in human sex trafficking with women from Russia and Ukraine? Were they spies?

Greene Reveals What ‘Staggering’ Bank Statements Indicate Regarding Hunter Biden Trafficking Schemes​

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene leveled a stunning allegation against first son Hunter Biden this week regarding what she described as information gleaned from “staggering” bank statements.
The Georgia Republican said during an interview that the statements indicate Hunter was involved in sex trafficking schemes, citing the documents, as well as suspicious activity reports that show money being transferred between him and prostitutes.
“This is true human sex trafficking of people that are not even citizens. And the question is, were they being held in some sort of sex slavery?” Greene said during an appearance on conservative commentator Benny Johnson’s podcast.
“These are the crimes that the FBI and the Department of Justice should be investigating and prosecuting with Hunter Biden because the evidence is all there, and the women are easily accessible. You can talk to them and call them in as witnesses,” she added.
She went on to say that at least some of the women are from Ukraine and Russia, where both Hunter Biden and, reportedly, President Joe Biden were involved in other ventures. She also referred to Hunter Biden as a “purely disgusting, vile human being” who is an embarrassment to the country.
“I am just so ashamed, absolutely ashamed, that our country has a President of the United States whose son has participated and committed these crimes, and he walks in and out of the White House every single day as often as he wants,” Greene said.
“This is such an embarrassment to our nation. It’s an embarrassment to women. It’s an embarrassment for men. Because this is not who we are,” she added.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is nearing a decision over whether to charge first son Hunter Biden following lengthy investigations into potential crimes over taxes and a gun purchase.
The decision over whether or not to proceed comes after federal prosecutors met last week with attorneys for Hunter Biden, the New York Post reported earlier this week.
Attorneys representing Hunter huddled with prosecutors from the US Attorney from Delaware, David Weiss, in his office in Washington to discuss the ongoing investigation that has spanned two presidential administrations and lasted for over four years.
Insiders familiar with the matter who spoke to The Washington Post said that Weiss is close to determining whether he will pursue charges against Hunter on felony and misdemeanor tax offenses, as well as lying on a federal gun purchasing form, or drop the case entirely.
Word of a charging decision comes after “FBI investigators reportedly expressed ‘growing frustration’ over the pace of the inquiry, and an IRS whistleblower came forward to allege Hunter has received ‘preferential treatment’ under the auspices of Attorney General Merrick Garland,’” The Post noted.
On Tuesday, Garland directed reporters to direct inquiries about the investigation to Weiss’s office and reaffirmed his previous statements to Congress that there were no political motives behind any delays in the Hunter investigation. Notably, Garland was not present at the meeting between Hunter’s lawyers and the Delaware prosecutor in Washington, The Post added.
“It is also unclear how Hunter’s abandoned laptop has aided the probe after the FBI seized its hard drive in late 2019,” the outlet noted further.
Hunter has been seen by his father’s side in recent weeks, including during a trip to Ireland where President Joe Biden publicly praised his son and said he was “proud” of him.

The tax investigation into Hunter’s international business dealings with Chinese and Ukrainian entities began in 2018, examining any potential violations of tax and money laundering laws. At the same time, a separate investigation into Hunter’s possession of a firearm was launched after his former sister-in-law and lover, Hallie Biden, disposed of his handgun in a dumpster behind a small grocer in Delaware, prompting a search by Secret Service agents and the disclosure of its sale to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
According to a gun purchase form from October 2018, Hunter answered “no” to the question, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”
In previous federal cases, felony charges for lying on a gun form have been brought, as seen in the case of rapper Kodak Black. He received a three-year prison sentence in 2019 for falsely purchasing four guns at a Miami store.
 
Biden Crime Family: As National Archives Stonewalls, New Documents Reveal Massive Bombshells That Connect Hunter Directly With China

Biden Crime Family: As National Archives Stonewalls, New Documents Reveal Massive Bombshells That Connect Hunter Directly With China

THE WHITE HOUSE
While the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) released a fourth batch of emails to America First Legal (AFL), a conservative legal firm, they refuse to hand over a number of emails that NARA claims are privileged and shielded from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), according to Just the News.
The batch of heavily redacted emails that AFL received did clearly display cases of correspondence between Hunter Biden and his father's office when Joe Biden was Vice President. It showed that Hunter was advising his father's office on a number of occasions and raised concerns over the mixing of his son's business dealings and his father's political office.

One of the items sought by AFL was the correspondence between one of Hunter's business partners, Eric Schwerin, and the Office of the Vice President (OVP) about a "China Lunch" that occurred before an official visit by the then-President of China, Hu Jintao, to the United States in 2011. While NARA acknowledged the existence of this correspondence, they refused to hand over the emails citing that its release "would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors."

The New York Post previously reported on the contents of the correspondence that appeared in Hunter Biden's discarded laptop which also held the same subject line of "China Lunch." The contents of the conversation appeared to showcase Hunter and Eric determining who would receive Joe Biden's invitations to that state event. Eric then related Hunter's suggestions for who ought to receive the exclusive invitations to an OVP staffer.

RAND PAUL TO FORCE SENATE VOTE ON MORE CUTS IN DEBT LIMIT BILL AMENDMENT

What NARA did release was correspondence between Hunter and his father's staff from 2010 that discussed planning for Vice President Biden's trip to Egypt, Kenya, and South Africa. Hunter sent an email inquiring about scheduling a phone call to White House staffer Alan Hoffman to "talk about Africa". A follow-up email that occurred after the call was sent by Hunter to a staffer for Second Lady Jill Biden. That email raised the subject of discussing "Nairobi ideas" but was too heavily redacted to discern anything else. A third email was withheld completely but was entitled "Summary Africa."
An unrelated communication in 2010 was a discussion between OPV staffers about a "letter request from Hunter" where one asked the other to write a letter to the brother of a Biden campaign staffer at the behest of Hunter.
An email chain appeared to show Rick Vitali, a campaign staffer, reached out to Hunter to ask him to have his father "send a note" to Vitali's brother, Sam. Hunter used a business contact to comply with the request.
Gene Hamilton, Vice President of AFL, commented that "[t]hese records–which are only a small portion of the actual records that the National Archives possess–demonstrate for the American people, yet again, continued evidence of influence peddling and personal enrichment by the Biden family. The full extent has yet to be seen, but with each release, we are painting a fuller picture for the American people of the extent to which the Biden family business was intertwined with the official business of the United States."
 

DOJ charges Biden for three minor crimes instead of 53 potential charges, unlikely to face jail time. Kodak was charged for the same crime, served 3 years in jail.​

MTG: ‘We are Controlled by COMMUNISTS!!’ After Hunter Biden Gets Slap on the Wrist for Crimes


While there are many people on both the left and right who think Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is out of her depth, is she wrong when she asserts that the U.S. is “controlled by COMMUNISTS?” If not, someone please explain how most things our federal government does isn’t communist, socialist or Marxist — what’s the difference at this point — in nature.
Following news that President Joe Biden’s entitled son, Hunter Biden, basically was given a slap on the wrist from the Department of “Justice” (DOJ) on Tuesday morning for just “some” of his transgressions, Greene took to Twitter to give her two cents on the situation.
Greene pointed out the extremist-willed double standard of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s DOJ when it comes to prosecuting politically-affiliated persons, like the difference between former President Donald Trump and current President Biden.
Her summation sentence said it all.
“We are controlled by COMMUNISTS!!” Greene said, ending her tweet.

So if Trump’s kids were charged with 7-figure tax evasion and a felony gun crime, would they also walk with zero jail time?

A top House Republican released new details from IRS whistleblowers involved in the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden that allege the lead federal prosecutor was denied when he tried to bring charges in Washington, D.C., and in California against President Joe Biden’s son.
Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s office revealed in a court filing on Tuesday. Two days later, IRS whistleblower claims detailing the politicization of the Justice Department investigation were made public, including further information on “preferential treatment," Hunter Biden’s lucrative overseas business dealings, and an allegation that Weiss had sought special counsel status from the DOJ but was denied.

BIDEN MANAGES TENSE RELATIONS WITH CHINA
Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, held a closed-door executive session Thursday morning in which the committee reviewed multiple whistleblower reports about government misconduct inside the IRS and DOJ and held a press conference shortly thereafter.
Smith revealed that “Weiss tried to bring charges in the District of Columbia around March of 2022 and was denied" and that “Weiss sought to bring charges in the Central District of California in the fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.”
The House chairman said that “Weiss sought special counsel status from the DOJ in the spring of 2022" but again "was denied.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland had repeatedly vowed to ensure that Weiss would be insulated from any political interference. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) pressed Garland in March about this, suggesting that Garland’s testimony last year “could be misleading because without special counsel authority, he could need the permission of another U.S. attorney’s office in certain circumstances to bring charges” beyond Delaware.
“The U.S. attorney has been advised that he has full authority to make kind of those referrals you’re talking about or to bring cases in other jurisdictions if he feels it is necessary, and I will assure that if he does, then he will be able to do that,” Garland promised. “He has been advised that he should get anything he needs. … I have not heard anything from that office that suggests they are not able to do anything that the U.S. attorney wants them to do.”
“I can now confirm that we have credible whistleblower testimony alleging misconduct and government abuse that is resulting in preferential treatment for the president’s son, Hunter Biden,” Smith said Thursday, noting that Hunter Biden “has been under investigation for tax crimes that include evading taxes on income" from foreign sources.
Smith also said Thursday there were pervasive “unjustified delays” in the investigation, including “authenticating a WhatsApp message in which Hunter Biden demands payment from Chinese officials noting that his father was in the room.”
The whistleblowers also said IRS investigators were told by federal prosecutor Lesley Wolf that because evidence would be found in Joe Biden’s guesthouse, “there is no way” a search warrant would ever get approved.
Smith additionally said that “crucial information about the investigation was divulged to Hunter Biden’s attorneys,” pointing to Hunter Biden’s lawyers being given a heads-up about a potential search of a northern Virginia storage unit where Hunter Biden had files.
The House chairman said that there were three main areas of focus in the transcripts of interviews with whistleblowers.

“No. 1, the federal government is not treating taxpayers equally when enforcing tax laws,” Smith said. “No. 2, whistleblowers claim the Biden Department of Justice is intervening and overstepping when it comes to the investigation of the president’s son. And No. 3, these whistleblowers report they have faced almost immediate retaliation.”
Smith said that “despite what whistleblowers described as a clear-cut case for tax liability on these payments, IRS investigators say they found themselves hamstrung internally.” The House chairman said whistleblower testimony also detailed “a lack of U.S. attorney independence, recurring unjustified delays, unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation, a lack of transparency across the investigation and prosecution teams, and bullying and threats from the defense counsel.”
The House chairman said the IRS investigation into Hunter Biden opened in November 2018 and that whistleblower testimony revealed that "the IRS recommended charges against Hunter Biden that included attempt to evade or evade tax — a felony — fraud or false statements — a felony — and willful failure to file returns, supply information, or pay tax crimes.”
Weiss's office announced Tuesday that Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges of two counts of "willful failure to pay" his federal income taxes, and the DOJ said he will be entering a "pretrial diversion agreement" pertaining to possession of a firearm "by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.”
Weiss’s office noted Biden had been hit with “two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense.” The Delaware federal prosecutor said that “the investigation is ongoing."
Hunter Biden's attorney, Chris Clark, issued a statement claiming: "It is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved."
Then-Attorney General William Barr rejected the idea of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden in December 2020 but said last year that Garland should have granted those powers to Weiss, echoing GOP demands from Capitol Hill.
Garland rejected the special counsel calls and said last year that “I’m quite comfortable with the United States attorney for that district continuing in the role that he is playing." Whistleblowers said Weiss also sought this protection but was denied.
“Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1.5 million annually in the calendar years 2017 and 2018," Weiss's office explained Tuesday. "Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due either year."
“If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 12 months in prison on each of the tax charges and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison on the firearm charge,” Weiss added. “Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties.”
The IRS whistleblowers provided Congress with granular details on the crimes Hunter Biden is accused of.
“These tax crimes cover an estimated $2.2 million in unreported tax on global income streams to Mr. Biden and his associates from Ukraine, Romania, and China, totaling $17.3 million from 2014 to 2019,” Smith said Thursday. “Mr. Biden personally received $8.3 million.”
The whistleblowers laid out foreign payments to Hunter Biden, including “$664,000 from the Chinese company State Energy HK, a large diamond worth $80,000, and a Porsche worth $142,000.”
“These payments are just a fraction of the total, but they provide insight into a world of wealth and influence that no ordinary American would recognize,” Smith said. “And what plea deal did Mr. Biden just receive? A slap on the wrist for charges that have put other Americans behind bars.”
One of the IRS whistleblowers stepped forward last month as supervisory special agent Gary Shapley and testified for about six hours to the House Ways and Means Committee staff. Lawyers for Shapley said he had documented examples of "preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting" the criminal tax case related to Hunter Biden. The IRS supervisory special agent also disputed the "sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee" — which a source later confirmed was Garland.
A second whistleblower, an IRS case agent, wrote last month about "deeply troubling and unacceptable" issues with the Hunter Biden investigation. He contended the DOJ's and Weiss's actions prevented him from doing his job adequately and that “my concerns were ignored by senior leadership.”
Hunter Biden revealed he was under federal investigation in Delaware for his taxes shortly after the 2020 election, saying, “I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisers.”

House Republicans released more WhatsApp messages Tuesday they say were written by Hunter Biden as he worked on a business deal with a Chinese energy company.
In messages from August 2017, the first son pushed that $10 million needed to be invested annually into the joint venture with CEFC China Energy, and called a $5 million proposal 'new to me' and 'not acceptable, obviously.'
The House Oversight Committee's Twitter account said that Hunter was messaging Gongwen Dong, a CEFC China Energy associate who used the nickname 'Kevin.'
'I'm tired of this Kevin,' Hunter said. 'I can make $5 million in salary from any law firm in America. If you think it's about money, it's not. The Biden's (sic) are the best at doing exactly what Chairman wants from this partnership. Please let's not quibble over peanuts.'
The next day one of Hunter's shell companies, OWASCO PC, was given a $10,000 payment from CEFC, the House Oversight Republicans said, sharing a receipt.

IRS whistleblower: I was STOPPED from pursuing leads in Hunter

The 'chairman,' Republicans said, was now missing Chinese oil tycoon Ye Jianming, who disappeared in February 2018 after being taken into custody by Chinese authorities.
The Oversight Committee Republicans alleged that Ye was tied to an intelligence gathering agency for the Chinese Communist Party.
'Ye stated that that CEFC China's vision "is to obtain overseas resources and serve the national strategy,"' Oversight Republicans' Twitter account said. 'He wanted to expand China's reach and influence around the world.'
'As more facts come to light, it becomes even more evident that the Bidens put China and their interests first and America last,' House Oversight Republicans charged.
Ye had previously been questioned by federal authorities in New York in November 2017 over a bribery scheme related to CEFC's business in Chad and Uganda.
Ye's lieutenant, Patrick Ho, was eventually convicted of seven counts of bribery and money laundering in relation to the bribery scheme.
Ho had dialed James Biden, Hunter's uncle and the president's brother, upon being arrested, according to a 2018 New York Times profile of CEFC's downfall.
James Biden told The Times that he believed the call was meant for Hunter.
'There is nothing else I have to say,' James Biden told the paper. 'I don't want to be dragged into this anymore.'
Since January, the House Oversight Committee under the leadership of Chairman James Comer has been looking into what he calls Biden family 'influence peddling.'
The White House and President Joe Biden have repeatedly denied the president was in business with Hunter.
Last week's WhatsApp message from an IRS whistleblower showed that Hunter used his father's clout to pressure a Chinese associate.
'I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made was not fulfilled,' Hunter wrote to Communist Party official Henry Zhao on July 30, 2017.
Hunter's lawyer Chris Clark responded by calling the whistleblower 'biased' and claimed the account covered 'a time of turmoil and addiction' for the president's son.
'Any verifiable words or actions of my client, in the midst of a horrible addiction, are solely his own and have no connection to anyone in his family,' Clark said.
Clark also pushed back on Republican complaints that the Department of Justice's investigation into the president's son didn't go far enough.
Last week, Hunter Biden agreed to a plea deal with the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and entering probation over a gun charge.
'An extensive, five-year-long investigation conducted by the United States Department of Justice concluded this week, which resulted in my client taking responsibility for two instances of misdemeanor failure to file tax payments, as well as a firearm charge, which will be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement,' said Clark. 'As his attorney through this entire matter, I can say that any suggestion the investigation was not thorough, or cut corners, or cut my client any slack, is preposterous and deeply irresponsible.'
