Is it finally over for the Bidens?
I think so. And I’m not just talking about Joe, who remember is still the President, despite all the focus on his Vice President and her running-mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. I’m talking about the entire family: the people who have enabled him and served as part of the so-called “Biden oligarchy” that actually ran the presidency in his mental absence. It’s over for them too. Here’s why.
On Wednesday, a bombshell new court filing was introduced by prosecutors in Hunter Biden’s tax-fraud case, which is due to begin in September. You may remember that young Hunter has already been convicted of felony charges with regard to the purchase of a gun while he was high on crack cocaine, but he’s also facing three felony tax charges and further misdemeanors for allegedly failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2020.
The new filing goes beyond unpaid taxes. It alleges that Biden and certain business associates were involved in a scheme that saw them net $3 million, given to them by a Romanian oligarch, Gabriel Popoviciu, in exchange for political favours while Joe Biden was Obama’s vice president, back in 2015. Popoviciu was being investigated for corruption in his native Romania at the time of the payments, which ran between November 2015 and 2017.
According to prosecutors, Hunter Biden and his business associates “were concerned that lobbying work might cause political ramifications for the defendant’s father,” so they structured the deal in order to “[conceal] the true nature of the work he was performing.”
This is the first time that there has been any official acknowledgement of a link between Hunter Biden’s “business” dealings overseas and his father’s political role. This is the first official acknowledgement of the corruption of the Biden family—the “Biden crime family,” as they’re often dubbed.
While passing reference was made to Hunter Biden’s work with Popoviciu in the special counsel’s December indictment, there was no mention of payments for political influence and there was certainly no indication that this new filing was coming.
Of course there wasn’t: because back in December—and even a month ago—Joe Biden was still useful to the regime.
The filing was submitted now because Joe Biden has ceased to be useful. That’s the difference. The regime wants to bury him for good, even before he dies, which could be any day soon. Indeed, the filing makes it all but inevitable, as far as I can see, that Biden will step down before the end of his term, in order to give Kamala a “honeymoon bounce” going in to the election. Clearly, that’s the play. Kamala needs all the help she can get. She can’t hold interviews or press conferences, she keeps shifting into absurd Sam Hyde ebonics on the rare occasion there’s a black person in the audience, and she’s chosen a running mate who lies about his military service and wants to redefine pedophilia as a protected sexual orientation.
Like I say, she needs all the help she can get.
We’ve known for years about the corruption of the Bidens. Joe himself has boasted about it, most famously in his “well, son of a bitch” brag about getting a Ukrainian prosecutor fired for getting too close to his business dealings in that country. But a “credible” suggestion that this is actually true, and not just another one of those “dangerous right-wing conspiracy theories,” will surely be enough reason for Biden not to finish his full term.
The regime doesn’t just want to get rid of the puppet President. They also want to get rid of the puppeteers, and that means the “Biden oligarchy” whose existence was revealed to the world by Axios just weeks before he removed himself from the presidential race. Chief among those oligarchs is Joe Biden’s wife, Dr Jill Biden.
After all, these people know things. Embarrassing things. Scandalous things. Dangerous things. And they’ve done things too. Embarrassing things. Scandalous things. Dangerous things.
Of course, the Bidens will be disposed of in a manner and at a pace that is most convenient for those in power within the regime—Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, etc. These people were the prime movers in the coup against Biden, as detailed by journalist Seymour Hersch recently, on his Substack. An insider told Hersch that Obama, backed up by Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries and Kamala Harris, threatened Biden and his oligarchy with a challenge under the 25th Amendment, which was enough to get him to drop out.
Nancy Pelosi has now all but admitted to this, in an interview with the New Yorker.
Less than a week has passed since Pelosi was saying Biden’s head should be added to Mount Rushmore—really—but now she’s saying that she’s “never been that impressed with his political operation.” “They won the White House. Bravo,” she said to the New Yorker’s David Remnick.
What’s happening to Biden is a reminder of the sheer brutality of the regime, of the lengths to which it will go to serve its own interests. Despite serving those interests in extremis, Joe Biden was never going to be allowed to shuffle off into the sunset with a belly full of ice cream. He must be made to suffer further.
I don’t feel sorry for Joe Biden. He’s not a martyr. He’s a bad man, and the people around him are bad too. But it’s hard, as the grandson of a grandmother with Alzheimer’s, not to feel at least a twinge of pity for him now.
Those who made the decisions on his behalf, especially his wife, however, understood the rules and the stakes of the game they were playing when they agreed to prop him up and dose him up and manipulate him in the name of power. If they didn’t—well, they should have.
Just as importantly, what’s happening to Biden is also a reminder of the utter contempt in which the regime, and its allies throughout government and the mainstream media, hold the American people. Collusion between politicians, bureaucrats, lawmakers and journalists has created a system where truth only matters when it’s useful—when it serves their interests and not those of the American people. The manifest corruption of the Bidens, obvious for so long but dismissed as a “right-wing conspiracy theory” or “disinformation,” is now going to be presented as a stunning revelation, just in time for the regime’s latest pivot.
