“It’s Bananas”: White House Scandal Spox Ian Sams Offers Laughably False Response to Hunter’s Chinese Cash Wired Using Joe Biden’s Delaware Home Address in 2019

On Tuesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) dropped a bombshell that Hunter Biden had been wired over $250,000 from China in 2019 using Joe Biden’s Delaware home as the address for the two wire transfers.

The wires from China came as Joe Biden was a candidate for president and Hunter, according to his memoir, was living with his new wife in California.

White House scandal spokesman Ian Sams posted a statement Wednesday morning that is so laughably false it’s amazing he represents the White House Office of Legal Counsel. Sams blamed the pandemic, which started in China in late 2020 and did not hit the U.S. until early 2021, for Hunter using his father’s address for the 2019 wire transfers from China.

“Imagine them arguing that, if someone stayed at their parents’ house during the pandemic, listed it as their permanent address for work, and got a paycheck, the parents somehow also worked for the employer. It’s bananas. Yet this is what extreme House Republicans have sunken to”

Washington Examiner reporter Sarah Bedford noted Hunter’s memoir has him living in California at the time, “By the time these wires were sent in late summer 2019, Hunter Biden was married and living in California with his new wife, according to his memoir. Not living at his dad’s house.”

CHINA WIRES LIST JOE’S HOME AS BENEFICIARY ADDRESS

A few months after Joe Biden announced his candidacy in 2019, information available to the Committee shows Hunter Biden received two wires from China for $250,000 and $10,000, including from Jonathan Li.

More alarming, the wires have Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, DE as the beneficiary address.

Weeks after those payments were made, Hunter’s lawyer George Mesires said Hunter Biden served with BHR “only as a member of its board of directors,” which was purportedly an “unpaid position.”

Here is the breakdown of events.

2009-2017: During his time as Vice President and prior to later payments to Hunter Biden, evidence shows Joe Biden developed a familiar relationship with Jonathan Li. Devon Archer, a Biden business associate, described how Joe Biden met with Jonathan Li for coffee in Beijing, China, had a phone call with him, and wrote college recommendation letters for his children.

April 25, 2019: Joe Biden announced his candidacy in the 2020 presidential election.

July 26, 2019: Wang Xin wired $10,000 with Joe Biden’s home listed on the wire.

August 2, 2019: Jonathan Li wired $250,000 with Joe Biden’s home listed on the wire.

October 13, 2019: George Mesires, who served as Hunter Biden’s lawyer, stated, in part, that Hunter Biden served with BHR “only as a member of its board of directors,” which was purportedly an “unpaid position.”

October 22, 2020: During a presidential debate, Joe Biden said, “My son has not made money […] in China.”

It has your address on the wires, sir…

Wednesday morning Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) posted a video clip of Biden lying about money from China in his debate woth President Trump, “My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, uh, what are you talking about? China…Nobody else has made money from China.” Biden told this lie shortly after his son was wired $260k from China, with Joe’s Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address.”

The House, under McCarthy’s direction, is set to hold it’s initial impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden on Thursday.

UPDATE: Sam’s attacked Comer for a retweet of Laura Ingram, “This is a flat-out lie. Why do reporters keep taking Comer’s spoon-fed claims seriously in any way when he so casually and shamelessly lies like this?”

Trial Begins in Case of New Mexico Democrats Allegedly Trying to Dilute Votes With Rigged Redistricting Map

The trial begins on Wednesday in the case of New Mexico’s Democrat-led legislature allegedly trying to dilute votes with a rigged redistricting map.

The state’s Republican Party alleges that a conservative oil-producing area’s votes were diluted under the new map.

New Mexico’s Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s attorneys had filed a slew of motions at the last minute to delay the proceedings, according to a report from the Associated Press. However, a judge will begin hearing the case as scheduled.

The governor’s lawyers had argued that the case will “significantly diminish their ability to defend the governor in a multitude of pending emergency lawsuits challenging her recent declarations of public health emergency.”

AP reports: 

In its court challenge, the Republican Party alleges that the new congressional map flouts traditional standards of redistricting that held sway over the past three decades, dividing communities of common interest for political gain by Democrats.

Democratic lawmakers say new congressional boundaries were vetted appropriately through the political process to ensure more competitive districts that reflect population shifts, with deference to Native American communities.

The report explains, “U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez of Las Cruces edged out a first-term Republican in 2022 after the district was reshaped by Democrats to include portions of Albuquerque, while divvying the deep-red southeastern corner of the state among three districts, all currently held by Democrats.”

Democrats won all three congressional seats up for grabs in November and control every statewide elected office. The party also holds majorities in the state’s House and Senate and all of the five-member Supreme Court.

The trial is expected to last for three days.
