As Twitchy reported earlier, Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson released an 87-page report on Hunter Biden and his financial dealings with Russia, Ukraine, and China. The executive summary mentioned that “in addition to the over $4 million paid by Burisma for Hunter Biden’s and Archer’s board memberships, Hunter Biden, his family, and Archer received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds.”
Would presidential candidate Joe Biden have anything to say about the report implicating his son (and himself) in some shady dealings? Catherine Herridge reports that campaign spokesman Andrew Bates addressed the report by pivoting to the coronavirus and joblessness in Wisconsin.

Committee away from any oversight of the catastrophically botched federal response to the pandemic, a threat Sen. Johnson has dismissed by saying that ‘death is an unavoidable part of life.’ Why? To subsidize a foreign attack against the sovereignty of our elections with taxpayer

dollars — an attack founded on a long-disproven, hardcore rightwing conspiracy theory that hinges on Sen. Johnson himself being corrupt + that the Senator has now explicitly stated he is attempting to exploit to bail out Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.” @CBSNews

“Hardcore right-wing conspiracy theory.” Yeah, OK.
The much vaunted non-denial denial!

Talk about a diversion. I think we, as a country, can walk and chew gum at the same time

Biden campaign spokesman doesn’t deny a single allegation in the Senate report on the Biden family’s corrupt foreign business dealings, including the allegation that Hunter used proceeds from a shady Moscow business deal to buy trafficked prostitutes. https://t.co/mEv5B1haAE

What an amazing non-response.

It’s always a “distraction” when it’s about a D’s corruption.

Imagine if the headline read…
“Donald Trump Jr received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow”????
But crickets.
Hey Adam Schiff…. we found that Russian collusion you’ve been talking about for 4 years!!

Classically Clintonian.
“These are old and disproven allegations“ when there’s never been any actual proof that they are false. Deny, delay, and obstruct, and then claim “it’s all old stuff, ignore it.“

If they want to play it that way couldn’t the same be said of Democrats wasting time on a bogus impeachment hearing while Trump was trying to create a response to Covid? Anytime we investigate Dems they call it a distraction or waste of time. Their lame excuses will stop nothing.

Laughable response

So because of the #coronavirus, the #Bidens should be given a pass on corruption, is that what the Biden’s are saying?
You have to admire the absolute chutzpah.

That was a good point above: Why can’t President Trump say he was distracted from the COVID-19 pandemic in January because of that bogus impeachment trial? Would the media go along with that narrative?
