The walls are closing in, or so the collective mainstream media says whenever some shoe drops against former President Donald Trump.
In the case of the Biden family, the walls never close in and the entire federal bureaucracy works in an orchestrated effort to avoid any and all scrutiny into growing allegations of the first family’s corruption.
If your name is Biden in Washington, DC, you have built-in protection from the likes of the IRS, FBI, and the entire Department of Justice.
Just days ago this week, another IRS whistleblow testified that the Biden family, including the President’s son, Hunter, have raked in a cool $17 million, and maybe more, from foreign sources and claims investigations into that money have been squashed internally, the New York Post reports:
IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler told the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that Hunter Biden’s overseas influence peddling operations have enriched the First Family and their business associates to the tune of more than $17 million.
The funds were raked in through various multimillion-dollar payments made by foreign nationals to Biden family-linked corporations between 2014 to 2019.
The Biden family’s business dealings involved entities in Ukraine, Romania and China.
Roughly half of the $17 million in payments went to first son Hunter Biden, according to the IRS whistleblower, who was unmasked for the first time Wednesday during his congressional testimony.
“This brings the total amount of foreign income streams received to approximately $17 million, correct?” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) asked Ziegler during Wednesday’s hearing.
“That is correct,” Ziegler confirmed.
Move along folks, nothing to see here. Just the President’s son shaking down foreign businesses and dignitaries for money with Joe Biden’s direct knowledge.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer claims the Biden cash cow machine is part of an influence-peddling campaign where foreign entities make regular payments for access to the people, namely Bidens, that can alter the U.S. foreign policy:
Comer argued Wednesday that the foreign payments were part of an “influence-peddling scheme to enrich the Bidens.”
“Despite creating many companies after the vice president took office, the Biden family used associates companies to receive millions of dollars from foreign companies in China, Ukraine and Romania after foreign companies sent money to business associates companies,” the Kentucky Republican said.
“The Bidens then received incremental payments over time to various different bank accounts. These complicated financial transactions were used deliberately to conceal the source of funds and total amounts. No normal business operates like this.”
Democrats claimed loudly and often that Donald Trump was a tool of the Kremlin in 2016 and that he had ties to foreign money which would taint and corrupt American politics. There was no documentation and zero evidence for the claim, but they repeated it often.
In the case of the Bidens, there are over 150 documents of suspicious transactions flagged automatically by our own banking system which reside in the U.S. Treasury Department. There are also records of alleged wrongdoing contained within the IRS, FBI, and other agencies that get tasked with monitoring and recording instances where a lot of foreign money is entering the United States for some unknown reason.
Perhaps the most insane part about the alleged Biden family corruption is just how much of a family business it really is, everyone gets a cut:
Comer has identified nine members of the Biden clan — including first son Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James Biden, his brother’s wife, Sara Biden, the widow of the president’s late son, Hallie Biden, Hunter’s current wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, and Hunter’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle — as having allegedly received foreign income.
When you have too much money to keep in one spot, it’s probably best to split it up and keep investigators guessing.
Here’s a rarity. CBS News, a network that usually covers for Biden, allowed Catherine Herridge, one of their legit objective journalists, to interview Joseph Ziegler about Biden’s corruption:

If all of that isn’t enough to at least demand answers, there’s the FBI form FD-1023 released on Wednesday detailing the bribery scheme by Burisma officials peddling influence with the Biden’s, according to The Federalist:
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, just released a minimally redacted copy of the FBI’s FD-1023 detailing a confidential human source’s reporting of a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and the Ukrainian business Burisma. According to the FD-1023 summary, Burisma’s owner specifically referenced the firing of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin — the same man Biden bragged about Ukraine firing after his threat to withhold aid from the country while he was vice president.
After months of pushing the Justice Department and FBI to explain what investigative procedures they had undertaken in response to evidence implicating then-Vice President Biden in a criminal bribery scheme, Grassley released the unclassified copy of the FD-1023, which documented claims made by the “highly credible” confidential human source (CHS). Grassley had acquired the FD-1023 via legally protected disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers.
The full text of the FD-1023 is available here if you want to examine it closer.
It goes without saying but if any average American, not named Biden, was caught in a fraction of what the first family has been caught in, that individual would be arrested, charged, and doing prison time by now.
So, when will Republicans grow a spine and launch impeachment proceedings based on this growing mountain of evidence that Democrats are finding it harder and harder to ignore?
