let's do one text. walter from ohio. sorry you had to work today jesse. you deserve a joe biden weekend. that's right, i wasn't even supposed to come in today. i have a vacation but garland appointed the special counsel, here i am. always remember, i'm watters, and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> sean: all right welcome to the special friday news breaking edition of hannity. now, the joe biden bribery money laundering allegation scandal, let me tell you, we begin with a ton of breaking news from the swamp all day in washington. a pathetic new slight of hand from biden's clearly weaponized and politicized doj as evidence of corruption against joe biden grows with each passing day. today earlier the attorney general merrick garland just rolled out a new strategy, yep, to help shield the big guy and the entire biden family

operation but especially joe biden. because today, he announced the appointment of a special counsel to investigate possible hunter biden crimes, but, of course, he made no mention of president joe biden. instead of appointing someone from outside of the government to lead this investigation, by law by the way is recommended under regulation 28 csr 600.3 thanks to gregg jarrett, merrick garland waved his magic wand and promoted david weiss, the same federal prosecutor, the one who's been slow-walking the criminal probe into hunter biden for several years. he's the guy that allowed the statute of limitations to expire on multiple major felonies before, of course, then trying to put together that sweetheart, you know, little deal with hunter, no jail time, and tie it up with a neat little bow and, you know, cover it all up, a sweetheart deal that no one else

would get. that, of course, rejected by the federal judge who thankfully, in delaware, actually read the fine print in this. it was a complete get-out-of-jail free card a blatant attempt to sweep all biden allegations, joe and hunter, under the rug without ever implicating theing about guy or forcing his beloved son to go to jail. weiss was gifting hunter a deal that involved two misdemeanor tax violations. by the way his office had recommended felonies, and, of course, the deferred gun charge that his own office had been saying, no. and in exchange buried deep on page 15, hunter got a get-out-of-jail free card, a sweeping immunity deal for a variety of tax violations and drug crimes, and basically every crime possible in this time period. could never be charged ever again. and then the judge said, did you mean to put this in there?

oh, no, we didn't, your honor. the defense says, well, wait a minute, that's what we all agreed to. so let me be very clear. david weiss is not to be trusted. this is a sham, from the get go. but don't take my word for it. two career irs investigators, they were so appalled at the highly unusual way that weiss conducted the entire investigation, that they sacrificed their own privacy and careers to come forward as very credible whistleblowers, and they testified before congress. take a look, let's take a look back. >> in november of 2022 the statute of limitations was set to expire for the 2014 and 2015 charges in dc, which included the 2014 felonies for the attempt to evade or defeat tax and fraud or false statement regarding burisma income earned by hunter biden in those years. the statute of limitations had

been extended through an agreement with hunter biden's defense counsel and they were willing to extend past november 2022. weiss allowed those to expire. i don't claim to be privy to united states attorney weiss or attorney general garland's communications, but united states attorney weiss told us that he was not the deciding person, that he had requested and was denied special authority after dc declined charges and that if california declines he will have to request special authorities again. i understood the gravity of those admissions. whether full responsibility lies with the united states attorney weiss or attorney general garland is for congress, the inspector generals and ultimately the public to decide. >> sean: who lied to the whistleblowers about the jurisdictional authority to charge? did weiss and garland tell the truth, or did weiss tell the truth to the irs whistleblowers? because he was telling two different stories. and why did the irs whistleblowers claim, both of them lied, according to what weiss specifically told them. and why did weiss let the

statute of limitations run out on many of the more serious felony charges on hunter? why was hunter not interrogated? why was the biden family also tipped off before a search that was scheduled to take place. why did weiss take five years to do practically nothing before getting embarrassed in that delaware courtroom with his slap on the wrist sweetheart deal that would have prevented any and all accountability on all of these issues as it relates to hunter and that would have flowed over to joe as well. the house oversight committee, they knew was discovery, massive amounts of money and shell corporations, and a number of members of the biden family being paid tens and tens of millions of dollars funneled into these shell corporations account. commerce committee says there's evidence that nine biden family members, including grandchildren, received these funds. i'd like to know, what do the grandchildren do for china,

russia, ukraine, kazakhstan, romania? what did hunter do for these countries to earn all of that money? and after all of this, why would merrick garland appoint weiss as a special prosecutor? why? because the fix was in. this is what we have been telling you for a long time. this is what a politicized and weaponized department of justice looks like. with hunter's plea deal dead in the water, garland and weiss, well, they would now be able to use this new special counsel investigation, that will buy them time. that will stall any future hunter trial. that will attempt, let's see if it works, they will attempt to block all and any congressional inquiries, and let even more statute of limitations run out. but, remember, they're not protecting hunter. remember, was an admitted contract addict at the time

while all these deals of tens of millions of dollars were happening. this is the joe biden protection program. let me be clear on this. merrick garland didn't bring that up today but he should have. this is now not about hunter. this is about the president of the united states who is now running for reelection and whose doj is going after donald trump with a vengeance. it's not a prosecution anymore, has now crossed the line into never ending persecution. and, by the way, want to cross the finish line in 2024 and not have this issue come up until then, and i'm sure that merrick garland's pretty confident that mr. weiss will be able to accomplish that. and the allegations, though, are a real problem. real allegations about bribe bring. real allegations about money laundering in the form of these bank accounts or shell corporations. as documentd in that 1023 form, that trusted fbi source, we know trusted by the fbi 'cause they paid the source over the years

hundreds of thousands of dollars, well, that source accused joe and hunter of accepting, what, $5 million each from burisma? $5 million they didn't want to pay. but the reason they paid was for protection, filtered through these many shell corporations that the head of burisma telling the fbi informant it would take over a decade to find out how they actually paid the money and unravel all that biden did protect burisma by leverage $1 billion against the company. shortly after executives demanded hunter set up that phone call with washington, dc, that was on december 4th of 2015. that phone call happened. and immediately thereafter, joe biden began the process of demonizing the prosecutor that

culminated in the $1 billion being leveraged. now, the bidens are not exactly known for being the smartest people. joe of course boasted about his quid pro quo after leaving office. take a look from yourself. >> i had gotten a commitment from poroshenko and from yatsenyuk that they would take action against state prosecutor and they didn't. so they were walking out of the press conference and i said nah, we're not going to give you the billion dollars. they said you have no authority. you're not the president. the president said. i said call him. i said, i'm telling you, you're not getting the billion dollars. i said you're not getting the billion and i'm going to be leaving here, i think it was what, six hours? i'm leaving in six hours. if the prosecutor's not fired you're not getting the money. well son of a [bleep], he got fired. and they put in place someone who was solid. >> reporter: son of a b they fired him in six hours and, guess what, as a result, well, let's see, ukraine got the

billion in loan guaranties and hunter continued to get paid, enriched. the biden family enriched based on joe's actions, the very thing the 1023 form accused joe biden of. add to all of this comer's latest memo with bank records showing a whooping $20 million of money, this is his third memo by the way, from russia, romania, ukraine, china, kazakhstan. we want into great detail last night. pouring into the accounts of the biden family, and biden family members and associates. we now have photographic evidence and testimony from 2014 and 15 revealing that then vice-president joe biden in fact met with several of hunter biden's foreign business partners, either over the physician or in person. beautiful dinners at cafe milano including a corrupt individual from kazakhstan. including the former first lady of moscow, a russian oligarch who sent hunter a whooping

$3.5 million wire for consulting. along with an additional, later, $120 million-plus investment in their real estate fund. and, according to testimony from hunter's business partner devon archer, archer pictured here with joe and hunter on a golf course, also testified joe participated, to his knowledge, in at least 20 of these phone calls that he witnessed with hunter's foreign business partners. now, of course as most of you know, biden was telling a much different story on the campaign trail. he wore over and over and over again. he never talked to hunter, his brother or anybody for that matter, that he ever discussed the foreign business deals at all? never, ever, ever, ever. take a look. . mr. vice-president, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> i've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.

>> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. and what i will do is the same thing we did in our administration, an absolute wall between personal and private. >> sean: based on everything we know from hard evidence, joe biden lied, flat-out lied to the american people during that campaign. and, guess what? those lies continued all throughout his presidency up until, oh, maybe about three weeks ago. take a look. >> there's this testimony now where one of your son's former business associates is claiming that you were on speaker phone a lot with them talking business. is that -- >> never talked business with anybody. i knew you would have a lousy question. >> why is that a lousy question? >> because it's not true >> how involved were you in your son's chinese shake down text message? were you sitting this? were you involved? were you involved?

were you? >> no! ♪ >> the only thing they can do is make up things about my family. it's not going to go very far. >> sean: keep in mind, according to the foreign corrupt practices act, quote, payments or gifts to third parties, such as officials, family members as an indirect way of corruptly influencing a foreign official, that would be illegal. joe biden doesn't have to be caught on tape pocketing a big wad of cash. he can still be guilty of corruption if his family members were taken that money in. apparently nine bidens got paid including grandkids. what do they do for that someone what did hunter do for that money? was hunter even cableable of working through this complicated time in his life through addiction. and let as not complicate the biden business model at all, not hard tabids or as now some are calling it the biden brand.

devon archer told us that, joe biden and his power full role and our federal government is the brand. not hunter the brand, it is joe the brand. again they definitely weren't paying for hunter, even hunter himself admitted all of this during an interview with gma. he had no experience with energy and he's doing energy deals in ukraine and china. amazing amounts of money for somebody with no experience at all. take a look, hunter in his own words. >> what were your qualifications to be on the board of burisma. >> i was vice-president of the board of amtrak for five years, chairman of the board of the u n world food program, one of the most prestigious law firms in the world. >> you didn't have extensive knowledge about natural gas or ukraine itself though. >> no, but i think i had as much knowledge as anybody else on the board if not more. >> reporter: in the list you gave knee the reasons why you're on that board. you did not list the fact that you are the son --

>> of course. >> what role do you think that play. >> it's impossible for me to be on any of the boards i just mentioned without saying i'm the son of the president of the united states. >> reporter: i was on the board at amtrak and any experience with energy or gas with russian, ukraine? no, no problem at all. why do you this i they paid you. >> i don't know. >> reporter: because of your father the vice-president. >> possibly. >> he blew this open single handedly 2018, secret empire author and with the accountability institute. peter sa wyattser. is there anything that i have laid out here that is wrong and i want you to also maybe fill in gaps because nobody knows this issue better than you peter schweitzer. >> no, i think you captured it very well, sean. look, really from the beginning, joe biden is the center of all of this. think when hunter starts this business, rosemont seneca that does the deals in china that

gets him hooked up in ukraine. he starts in 2009 just months after his father becomes vice-president of the united states. up until that point sean he had been a lobbyist for entities in delaware lobbying his own father. so the entire business enterprise was centered around his father's elevation to the vice-presidency, and then you look at the deals in china. those deals get secured days after he shows newspaper china. airport two with his father. so you cannot separate the biden businesses from joe biden's political position in power and the notion that he just shows up and shakes hands and that just leaves these foreign nationals to throw money at hunter is laughable. these four are sending money to hunter biden and the biden family because they know it's going to give them special access and possible fairs with the vice-presidents of the united states. >> sean: okay there have been three memos released by the

house oversight and accountability and that's james comer's committee. >> one thing we are trying to get a handle on is exactly how much money they did in business. like for example, the russian oligarch, former first lady of moscow alaina bot reason a 3.5 million but also 120 million invested in their real estate ventures, that's a lot. you talked about the $1.5 billion deal with china. that's not a part of this accounting yet. nancy mace thinks the business is generated north of 50 million. others on the committee are suggesting north of a hundred million. do we have any idea exactly how much money we are talking about that the bidens did in business with china, and russian, or in one and number two geopolitical foes, ukraine, kazakhstan, romaine yo, mexico, over a dozen countries, do we have any idea that total number?

>> we don't yet, sean, but that number keeps rising. we believe based on the laptop, they did $31 million in china alone and you're quite right the brr deal $1.5 billion private equity fund funded by the chinese government, husbander gets an ownership steak valued at about $20 million. that's not included in the count so far. and when it comes to volleyball, you're right, alina bot reno, why there's $3.5 million to hunter's business they put $120 million into rosemont reality where hunter is involved, he's an advisor at that company but there's also a document in yet another hunter biden business called burn 'em where he and devon archer say in the corporate minutes which we have a copy of that they're handle something $200 million for yo yolana. i think the house committee is performing an invaluable service

of giving us an accounter for this. i'm not sure we'll ever know the full amount sean because i think there were bank accounts overseas. we know one was set up for hunter in malta with the help of burisma. we may never get access to those financial records but it's a shocking number well well north of $50 million in total. >> sean: this week, democrats and the media protecting joe biden says see, the third memo did not prove joe got paid a penny directly. you have gone over this, miranda devine back in july of 2021 talked about sherwin, eric sherwin who was a business partner know him as kind of the money guy in this operation and specific e-mails with hunter and eric talking about exact payments and how to pay for joe's home repairs. or hunter about itering complaining half his income goes to pops. or the money put aside for the

big guy. that would be in hunter's care. does this not an implication enough for people that, in fact, joe benefited financially from these business deals. oh, absolutely sean. i mean, we know that tens of thousands of dollars when joe biden was vice-president of the united states in bills were paid by hunter biden. by the way, that's illegal. family members cannot pay the bills of politicians. but there's a larger point here, sean. this notion that joe biden has to take the direct payment is simply factually not true. you mention of course the foreign corrupt practices act. if there are payments that are given to family members. you know, in exchange or to curry favor with a government official, that's deemed as corruption. also, the obama biden administration solved international bribery standards which compliftly said it

includes payments to family members and this is the way it's generally done in the third world. if it's happening in a sha or africa or europe, it's only the dumb ones, the dumb politicians that take direct payments. usually it is find through a family member or aid so this notion that is going around, all these hardened political journalists in washington and politicians said wait a minute this is what bribery is. they know better. >> sean: yeah. >> disgraceful the way they are setting a standard where in a future administration, are we going to allow a secretary of defense for their family to be taking millions of dollars from payments from a chinese company? that's ace the new biden standard if this becomes accepted. >> thank you appreciate it. peter schweitzer >> when we come back jonathan turley benefited from his son's foreign business dealings in spite of him saying the opposite he'll join us next and much

to pursue the facts for the american people. here with reaction, fox news trip for legal and a list jonathan turley is with us. you know, i really, of all the people that you're going to pick here, the guy that gave the sweetheart deal, the guy that identified as irs whistleblowers as somebody that told them one thing but was saying something very different publicly. and the guy that could say that merrick garland was not telling the truth. really? we're going to pick that guy and we're not going to believe that the department of justice is weaponized. am i understanding this right jonathan. >> no, i'm afraid that's the view of many people and not without cause. it's like complaining you think a deck is stacked and the dealer saying, okay, why don't we double the bets. that doesn't really deal with the problem. and here you've got a u.s. attorney who was accused by whistleblowers of running, essentially, a fixed

investigation. an investigation where the bidens were tipped off on raids. there was a refusal to let them ask about president biden. there were minimal charges, crimes were allowed to expire, and garland's solution was well, let's double down on that. well, that's not much. so this is going to cause even greater concerns, as you've mentioned, and i think they're warn ted. and it's also going to add pressure on the hill because this mandate does not appear to have been expanded so all garland is doing is increasing the authority without expanding the scope of the investigation to include joe biden. >> sean: you know, when they start out with joe biden as a candidate, i mean, i talk about they have hughes a lot because this is important to me. did he lie, that's crystal clear, never talked to my son, my brother or anybody for that matter about my foreign business

dealings as candidate as president, then it involved devon archer's testimony, it involved well joe was never in business with these people. two very different things. then it evolves into what we finally have concluded this week after the revelation by the how oversight committee of the $20 million, the third memo released, and, see, it proves that joe didn't benefit from this at all. but if you look at hunter ace laptop hunter implicates his own father, complained help to give half his income to pops, communications with sherwin, the money guy in all this operation, about paying for pop's home repairs, he complained bitterly about that. tony bobulinski the but guy, that's hunter receiving the money he took here and did the actions he took in ukraine to fire the prosecutor, did that not continue to enrich hunter who admitted he had no experience to be on burisma's

board? long question but i hope you'll go into detail. >> you see, part of the fallacy here is that you need to have somehow a photo of the president a energy full of cash or a dmoft slip by an account by jill or joe biden. it doesn't work that way, the bidens are good at this they've been in the influence pedaling for decades, you don't do it to the account of the principal when selling access. the idea they didn't benefit is ludicrous. at 80 years old joe biden is not going to send the already $8 million that he has. at his age people of that wealth are thinking of a financial legacy, children and non-children. even with it being transferred with 20 different shell companies and accounts, the president still saying well we won't accept anything other than direct deposit otherwise he didn't benefit it from. that's ludicrous and the public

understanding that. >> sean: yeah. i mean, so what do you think now? i mean, what do you expect here? do you believe as i suspect, that the special counsel that the doj approved is now going to say sorry, it's an ongoing investigation. pretty much any question you ask me today. and now this stone because both the overseat committee vetting and the judiciary committee investing jim jordan because i believe that's part of the strategy here. >> i think that it will. i can't imagine he's going to go to congress and give substantive answers. but, you know, this won't work with the public and it won't work with the hybrid impeachment inquiry. they have a right to pursue questions of corruption and they're going to do it. onthan thank you appreciate it. when we come back what did joe

>> they are different lies. you have to give them credit, and i agree with you, for carrying on a lie, and basically a coverup for the last, what, two years, two and a half years. joe biden has been in government for almost half a century. his wife is the cool temp. they have multi million dollars beach houses. they have all kinds of property, all kinds of money. he's worth $8 million and what we're finding out now is that,that they have a justice department in position to offer a sweetheart deal to hunter biden and now all of a sudden because the american people aren't buying it and because the american people know it's not on the level, all of a sudden merrick garland wants to appoint a special counsel because he said david weiss now said he needs his special. that is a flat-out lie, sean, and i'll they will you why you? david concluded his investigation. he's offered a plea deal to

hunter biden that gave him immunity that is legal protection against any prosecution in perpetuity. so if you give someone legal immunity for the rest of their lives against any prosecution, why do now you need -- all of a sudden you need to investigate. and this guy david weiss, it's the same guy who offered a plea deal but didn't pass legal muster with the federal judge who knew this things was bond anything. >> but judge it shouldn't be rice, you're right. he went against his home osmose. he gave the sweetheart dealed. i say one thing to them and a very different thing in public. and, by the way, if the whistleblowers who took contemporaneous notes are correct, that would mean that not only did he lie before congress, i believe, but also that merrick garland lied before

someone in the government appointed special counsel although the same thing could be said about durham. >> yeah, i agree with you. i think this is a farce. more coverup than corruption by merrick garland the attorney general is not allowed to appoint david weiss as special counsel. under federal regulations, he can only point somebody outside the government because weiss is conflicted. he works for joe biden as garland does and weiss is accused, of course, of irs whistleblowers of political to protect the bidens allowing the statute of limitations to expire tipping off lawyers, ask youling plans, any questions about joe biden's involvement and of course negotiateing the absurd plea deal, you know, weiss is the absolute last person on earth who should be special counsel. this is the guy who effectively stopped the case. so, sean, you know, the fax is

in, it's a sham. wise him several is getting a sweetheart deal because he can now drag this out let more statute runs and pretend to do an investigation but now he doesn't have to answer any questions from congress about his own obstruction and suspected lies that he was dumb enough to put in writing. so, you know, hunter biden tonight must be doing cartwheels. he not only got rich but he got away with it sean. >> sean: i agree with you it's a sham, a farce, i think it's a conflict of interest, part of the never ending biden protection program, that the media provided it for them during the 2020 presidential campaign. they let allison the whole time. if you just compare and contrast professor the treatment, the aggressiveness as it relates to all things drum, and with the sweetheart deal that wise gave, now he was the one guy called out by the irs whistleblowers.

also in a way back door calling out merrick garland, the one guy that can protect both garland and the bidens and dazed wise he's the guy that's the one they want to pick. >> you know i predicted on your show that sweetheart deal with not be allowed to go through eventually. and we were vindicated today. that deal is now dead. they do want to conduct an vehicles in the middle of this from the box. but even if justice is done the appearance of justice is not being done. the idea that when the president's son is being investigated, you don't follow the rules and appoint somebody from outside the government, is something that's just unexplainable. when you have such high visibility cases, you have to follow the rules to a p and if you don't then it mixes in as i eat. so i don't accept this notion because there's an investigation

going, congress happ to stop. it's the constitution not the statute. that gives them the right to executive the authority and they should continue, and they ought to call garland and weiss and say why did you violate this regulation? this regulation that has been printed now have of congress. why are you making this deal. i predicted this all in my book called get trump. you talked about it. each indictment, the new york indictment a sham, florida indictment strong on the facts but weak on the law. dc weak both on the law and on the facts. so i think congress has a very important role to play and that's especially the case since the -- since garland violated the regulations in appointing the special counsel. >> reporter: really appreciate both of you and thanks i know

you really got the brows. ♪ >> sean: all right as we din this breaking news friday night thank you for being with fox and the hannity program. set your dvr every day so you never miss an episode monday-friday 9:00 p.m. eastern 6:00 pacific. tonight, evidence of joe's involvement in hunter's foreign business deals is piling up and now the media mob are working overtime to cover it all up. take a look. >> let's posit for sake of argument that hunter biden is sleazy and the president's relatives tried to profit off the biden family brands something cnn has reported on, what's new in this memo? just looking for evidence because we're talking about

impeachment here. i don't see any evidence of any crime. >> i think even though there may not be any curiosity by my friends at cnn, i think there's curiosity by majority of americans who wait a minute. >> i'm very curious about it sir. >> fake jake the guy who lied about russian conclusion all these years you might want to go back and read hunter's laptop because he complains about all the money he's forking over to pops half his income and paying for home repairs and everything else. anyway. tonight we have evidence of all of this, but joining us now is investigative reporter editor and chief just the news.com, and that's john solomon and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. john i'm going to go to you and then i want comment from jason. you have been literally the tip of the spear in breaking many of these stories, like, for example, that weiss was recommended, his own office had recommended felony charges. you have broken so many of these stories and you're telling me privately there's a lot more

coming next week. can you give us a bit of a preview of coming attractions? >> yeah, listen the first thing is that weiss is going to bring indictments in california and washington, dc, likely felonies not misdemeanors. >> sean: is that a judge shopping thing? >> that's where the crime's actually committed so remember los angeles and dc were where hunter biden was when he failed to pay his taxes. the big question america should watch for, does he upgrade these to felonies, get rid of the sweet heart deal put a lot more weight on the table in terms of prison time and penalty. does he add the foreign lobbying, i'm hearing he may. that could be a big development, hunter biden's legal prowess is getting worse. second the news surrounding joe biden is tightening. you did the monologue, it's orbiously lied to us. here's the one statement that's still out there, did joe biden change u.s. policy to benefit

hunter biden when he fired the prosecutor. we were told during impeachment no he was carrying out u.s. policy. next week i'm going to put documents out we'll see how that story holds up. i do not believe he was carrying out u.s. policy when he fired shocken and i'm going to put the documents out there so people can see it. >> sean: let me interpret that for the audience, that means you have smoking gun evidence and we're going to look forward to seeing that. jason, we watched the entire russian conclusion hoax and the people responsible, hillary gets off scott free, joe biden gets off scott free, top secret classified documents, hellry no problem deleting subpoenaed e-mails 33,000 destroying devices with hammers, they can't corroborate even offering a million dollars to chris steele to corroborate the dossier, that doesn't stop the fbi from using it four times to secure fisa warrants. nobody's held accountable. is this going to be different? >> i hope so, but, you know,

baseed on what happened today, i don't think so. i don't have much faith in it. i think it's going to take a new administration to come in here and clean house. the idea that weiss is still involved essentially gets a promotion, i can't even believer it. but the stuff that john solomon's talking about, i hope that's true. i'm really offended by jake tapper saying he's look at this and there's no involvement by joe biden, nothing illegal. he changed u.s. policy. look at romania. in romania, you had a mobster up on bribery charges, and so what did they do? they engage with louis freeh to lean on the department of justice to go in and lean on the romaineians, a thank you to joe biden hunter biden and the biden family they put a hundred thousand dollars into the grandkids account. a hundred grand. >> great analysis jason and great reporting jon solomon thank you both. unfortunately that's all the time we have left this evening. programming note, next week join
