The problem here is that Turley doesn't tie Joe Biden to these schemes. We need a smoking gun that he got paid under the table or whatever. Saying he's got a derelict son or brother doesn't do much

Turley dealt with this in previous articles. At Biden's age, he has all the money he needs for the limited time he has left to live. Therefore Biden is engaging in this corruption, influence peddling, to enrich his extended family....children, grandchildren, inlaws, etc. Biden's extended family is very wealthy off this influence peddling:

Jonathan Turley: Monetary Benefits to Biden Family Implicate Joe Biden in Wrongdoing

By WENDELL HUSEBØ Monetary benefits to Biden family members are benefits to President Joe Biden and therefore implicate him in wrongdoing, legal scholar Jonathan Turley said during Thursday’s impeachment inquiry hearing.

“There’s been a repeated [Democrat] statements that you need to show that President Biden accepted direct money in order for this to constitute a benefit even under criminal cases that deal with bribery, extortion, the Hobbs Act,” Turley prefaced. “The courts actually have rejected that. They’ve said that money going to family members is, in fact, a benefit.”

“I don’t really see any legal basis for that,” he said, referring to the Democrats’ claim. “Obviously, the strongest case is if you have a direct payment, but this idea that you can have millions going to a politician’s family. And that’s not a benefit. I think it’s pretty fallacious.”

Turley later added to his opinion in response to Rep. Gary Palmer’s (R-AL) pointed question about Joe Biden potentially using his former office of the vice presidency to benefit his family. “In your view, could the promise of foreign access to any official government official, whether it’s the vice president or anybody else — that only materially benefited a family member — could that be influence peddling?” Palmer asked.

Turley replied:

"Yes, and as I point out in the testimony, courts have found that various benefits to family members can be attributed as a benefit to the principle. That has included everything from throwing a golf contest in the favor of a son of a politician to paying for gifts. In fact, I was lead counsel in the last…impeachment trial for a judge, and that was the trial in the U.S. Senate. My client, Judge [Thomas] Porteous, was accused, among other things, of benefits going to his family. And so there’s there’s certainly precedent, not only in criminal cases, but in impeachment cases for making that next [claim]."

"In fact, it’s [influence peddling] perhaps the most quintessential violation of the public trust because you’re not acting in the public’s interest. It’s a form of public corruption that this government, this country, has declared as corrupt in other countries around the world.

"In total, nine Biden family members received payments from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren:

  • Hunter Biden
  • James Biden, Joe Biden’s Brother
  • Sara Jones Biden, Joe Biden’s Brother’s Wife
  • Hallie Biden, Beau Biden’s Widow and Hunter Biden’s Ex-Lover
  • Kathleen Buhle, Hunter Biden’s Ex-Wife
  • Melissa Cohen, Hunter Biden’s Current Wife
  • Two Children of Joe Biden’s Son [Names Unknown]
  • Joe Biden’s Brother’s Child [Names Unknown]
Republican lawmakers recently predicted their investigation into the Biden family could prove the Biden business raked in more than $50 million, about $30 million more than bank records show thus far.

“Based on the evidence I’ve seen so far, I think the number is going to be north of $50 million that we’re talking about here,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) told Fox News in July."

This is Joe Biden's america. A bunch of savages are running wild to destroy their own place.
Biden encourages lawlessness and demands his potential voters see no jail time in their crimes committed. He panders to this corruption & breaks laws to allow millions to cross our open border. Our once great nation has become a 3rd world place to live thanks to Biden.

You realize you've just posted something that is an accomplishment of Pres Trump? Oil leases granted by the gov't don't produce oil in 2 yrs. It generally takes 4-6 years to begin pumping oil. Thus this production you talk about here is largely due to Trump's oil policies from 2017-2021. Good to hear it worked!

That is good to see but we still need to see Joe Biden's fingerprints somewhere on this.

The fact Biden's grandchildren etc are getting money from "busness deals" when they are not engaged in any profitable international businesses that anyone can find.

I agree it's suspicious but we still gotta find the smoking gun. We're going to need more than a Republican committee says so

It's got nothing to do with being in your 20s. We all have electric bills and rent to pay. Sounds to me like she needs a career and not just a job

Agreed on that. Her issue isn’t inflation. She was screwed already just from her rent and car payment. Maybe she’s living beyond her means in those areas in addition to possibly not having a career.
