now if you look at the burisma example, he is paid millions.n that case, we know joe biden leveraged the billion dollars. then we have the whatsapp message. this involved cefc, the chinese oil conglomerate. again, no experience in energy. i am sitting here with my father wondering why you did not fulfill your commitment. he will use everybody he knows and my ability to hold a grudge. you will regret not following through with what you agreed to. a few days later $5 million shows up in one of those bank accounts, professor. what james comer is calling shell corporations. tell me, professor, what does that look like to you? >> first of all, let's remember who is responsible for all of this coming out. we have to give credit to judge noriega. judge noriega made sure this was not all covered up by a deal that made no sense. i predicted on your show and other shows that judge noriega would not accept the deal. i was trashed by many academics, cnn and many other media. she did the right thing. she sent it back and the result has been now much more in

hunter was in dubai and burisma executives were in dubai. they had a phone call with joe biden. five days later, i believe joe biden went to ukraine. that's when joe biden was bragging about the issue, that, in fact, he said fire the prosecutor got 6 hours or you're not getting the money. okay. he fires the prosecutor as a result of that firing ukraine, the loan guarantee, which was already official obama administration policy. and hunter biden, who admits he had no experience on good morning america in oil, gas, energy or coal, he continued to get paid millions of dollars for a job he clearly was not qualified for at a time where they're admitting that he was addicted to drugs and alcohol. >> is that the proper timeline on that? >> that is exactly the timeline. in october, burisma started to get worried that the ukrainian prosecutors are ramping up their investigation. hunter biden starts talking to people around joe biden of joe biden's advisers, talks to joe biden about it. the career people would recommending give ukraine the money they'd done enough. don't. joe biden, accor

you get into burisma, you do. we want to ask her questions about that as well. >> dana: what will happen to that testimony? i think there was a little confusion yesterday what hunter biden said he was coming to do or not. in is a closed door deposition. will you be able to release a transcript of that or do you hold that? >> you hold the -- we'll are he lease them at some point. you don't want to release it until you've interviewed everyone else. if you release it there is a template for other witnesses. you do the depositions behind closed doors, a transcript developed and then at some point you release a transcript, you do a report. but in an impeachment inquiry there will be a report at some point if we decide to move to articles of impeachment. >> bill: you mentioned years 2014 and 2015. do you consider those to be the most serious charges? >> yeah, because i think the theory of this case is i think it's an old story. you have a politician who does certain things, those actions benefit his family financially a

this was in conjunction with the burisma.one thing that triggered the discovery of the 1023 form, sean, was the fact that the whistleblowers that turned over the 1023 form to chuck grassley, they knew about this 1023 form. because the narrative had been the burisma thing was rudy giuliani and it was fake news and russian disinformation. they never paid attention to it. when the house oversight committee started unveiling evidence where the bidens were receiving suspicious funds that were being laundered through these various bank accounts and shell companies, those whistleblowers said that's exactly what it said in the 1023 form about ukraine. that's why they came forward. they came forward because of our evidence. >> you can confirm that you have discovered over 20 shell companies, but you see no real business activity except the movement of money from one account to another? you confirm that, sir? >> yes. that's why we wanted hunter biden to have the opportunity to explain. if we are misunderstanding he can tell us exactly

burisma, access to joe biden and access to the administration.ence that was included in that affidavit that included supporting political figure one. it has a waterfall effect on the investigation. the emails we're searching for might not come through to the team. it has a down the road effect of not following normal leads we should be following. >> bill: do you think she'll answer that question today? will she explain it? >> i hope they ask her. i hope she responds and then yeah, i hope they ask her. they need to. >> they hope. maybe you do hope in the end. gary, here is what i want to know from you. this is hunter biden on our program yesterday when he defied that subpoena. >> let me state as clearly as i can. my father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of burisma, not in my partnership with a chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home or abroad and certainly not as an artist. >> bill: what did you think of that comment and how you read it now? >> well, it is just part

here is burisma and the claim of a bribe . it goes on to hunter biden prosecution. if you would like to read that you can find that at thehill.com. selma in the bronx. >> good morning. i oppose this 100%. i stand behind joe biden. donald trump is a rapist. he is a rapist, a liar, a crew -- crook. we are all going to pay and stand beside joe biden. impeachment? give me a break. they are crooks. jared kushner received $20 million and ivana received money. they are the crooked thieves. and donald trump raped a woman in new york city. he did that in a a department store in new york city. he is a crook and i oppose this impeachment. none of us care. we are going to stand behind joe biden. none of us care about those crooked impeachment inquiry. get a life. >> sam in mississippi. >> i fully support the inquiry. first of all, he needs to be impeached just because of the open borders. that in itself is impeachable to me. the fact that his picture has been taken with hunter's associates and then he gets on tv and denies the fact that -- well, not denies but he talks about wi

was that the burisma case? >> yeah, i can say this. first of all, we found over $24 million that flowed into those shell companies that jason smith was referencing earlier. >> we have no idea what the bidens did to receive the money. we know those shell companies served no purpose. we've seen bank emails and we've seen suspicious activity reports from banks that said they were investment companies with no investment and companies with no known purposes. now, we know that the 1023 form alleged that they took a bribe. this was in conjunction with the burisma and one thing that triggered the discovery of the 1023 form, sean, was the fact that the people, the whistleblowers that turned over that ten, 2030 form to chuck grassley, they knew about this 1023 form. >> but because the narrative had been all the burisma thing was, was rudy giuliani and it was fake in russia, disinformation. they never paid attention to it. but when the house oversight committee started unveiling evidence in romania and china where the bidens were receiving suspic

it all starts back in 2014 and she's connected to burisma.'s connected to where this all starts. so for them to say that makes no sense, that's why we're going to have an impeachment inquiry vote. it will help us get additional witnesses in which will buttress i think the already compelling evidence that we have. >> sean: but it wasn't -- you're talking about alaina bat reason a, that's the russian oligarch the former first lady of moscow. but it wasn't just the $3.5 million. didn't devon archer testify and say that she invested over a hundred million dollars. >> in a real estate company, yes. >> sean: in a real estate venture that hunter was involved in and the family was involved until? that's a hundred million dollars from a russian oligarch. and by the way the same russian oligarch he had dipper with at cafe milano, correct. >> correct. and the timing is interesting because when the first investment happens it's in february of 2014, it happens a week before russian invades crimea. and two weeks after when there are sanctions put on all ki

look at what happened with burisma, with firing the prosecutor who is investigating burisma.hat was a quid pro quo. the democrats impeach donald trump for asking about joe bidens would broke woke. joe biden committed the ultimate quid pro quo with our tax dollars. leveraging a billion tax dollars to get a prosecutor fired who is investigating his son. look at what he has done with china. we believe he is compromised because of the millions of dollars he is taken from china. >> and his son continued to get paid. thank you both, chairman comer and chairman smith. >>> we head over to the senate side were just yesterday fbi director chris wray was grilled over how the fbi has been politicized and the doj weaponize and his bureau weaponize. take a look. >> i think the department of justice has been profoundly politicized under attorney general merrick garland. i think the fbi has as well. unfortunately, i think you have been unwilling to stand up to senior career officials in the fbi who have allowed the fbi to be politicized. >> i have a responsibility to the fbi, not to allow it

hunter biden gets put on the board of burisma. hes not qualified to be on the board of burisma. to help alleviate the pressure we are under. three days later the vice president of the united states now president joe biden goes to ukraine and conditions american tax dollars for ukraine on the firing of the prosecutor who was applying the pressure to the company hunter biden was on the board of. that's why we're going with an official impeachment inquiry today. that's why this needs to be investigated. resolution 918 and resolution 917 incorporated if we pass 918. three names mentioned in those two resolutions the one name of course is joe biden, president of the united states. the other two names in resolution 917 are two doj tax lawyers, mark daily and jack morgan, two guys we want to talk to that the biden justice department says we're not going to let you talk to them. with this vote we think we get to talk to those individuals. these two individuals initially said there should be tax felony tax charges for 2014, 2015, in the hunter biden investigation. that's important becaus

at what happened with burisma, with firing the prosecutor, shokin, who was investigating burisma?quid that was a quid pro quo. remember, the democrats impeacheo qud donald trump forbt asking about joe biden's quid j pro quoeo. joe biden committed the ultimate quid quo with our tax dollars leveraging $1,000,000,000 in tax dollars to get a prosecutor fired who was investigatin dolg your . and then you look at what he's done with china. we believe he's compromiseddollr of the millions of dollars he's taken from china and his son continue to get paids s ta, didn't he? all right. thank you both, chairman colmer and chairman spencpaid.e, weandh appreciate it. >> all right. we head over to the senate side >>> he capitol complexai smith. where just yesterday, fbi director christopher wray, he was grilled over how the fbi has been politicized and the doj weaponize used and his bureau weaponized. >> take a look. i think the department of justice has been profoundly politicized undebeenr attorney general merrick garland, and i think the fbi has as weli thinl. and unfortunately, i think you'v

fact pattern related to burisma is the key here.an who does certain things and actions benefit his family and there is effort to cover it up, joe biden took action to help his son with burisma and other actions, as well. and david weiss spent five years investigating, they let statute of limitation lapse for 2014 and 2015, the year he was getting all the burisma income. look, but for, maybe the key point, but for two whistleblowers from the irs, they might have gotten away with it but these brave whistleblowers stories have held up. mr. shapley and mr. ziegler testimony have not waivered because they are telling the truth. >> brian: they are irs guys, not political guys. to this, most speaking time at the heated debate stage and vivek ramaswamy spent much of it attacking nikki haley. >> ainsley: didn't know we were on camera. >> three provinces they want our troops to fight for. nikki, i don't have a woman problem, you have a corruption problem, that is what people need to know, nikki is corrupt. this woman will send your kids to ba

burisma, cfc, romania, the largess of sugar bro hollywood lawyer morris and more. now predictably, all day the press down played the indictment, noting, once again, that joe biden himself wasn't mentioned. his brother jim was as are other hunter partners rob walker, james gilyard, devon archer and the founder of cefc that chinese interest. we have all seen the pictures of biden with several of them or is that a body double? now, perhaps, most importantly, weiss included in the indictment something we all knew, burisma cut hunter's salary in 2017, otherwise known as the year that biden left the office of the vice presidency. if the scheme outline and the tax charges are proved, it would be impossible to avoid evidence of joe biden's participation wrote mccarthy. here now sol wisenberg deputy independent counsel fox news contributor and mike davis president of the article iii project. sol, i know you have a prediction on hunter's plea. then we will get into the specifics. but what is that prediction? >> i think it's quite possible he will plead guilty. because, if th

when you get into burisma. the energy company that paid hunter biden so much money. >> he served on the burisma board. jordan believes wolf let the statute of limitations expire before prosecutors could address burisma. >> martha: see where it goes. michael mccaul. house foreign affairs committee chairman and homeland security committee member. congressman, thank you for being with us. you heard senator chuck schumer say it's an unserious effort by republicans. they see it as political. what do you say to him? >> look, i was a federal prosecutor, public integrity section, worked on the china investigation, money coming in from china to shell corporations to the clinton campaign to influence policy. this is nothing knew on behalf of foreign governments. i think it's very serious. you have $24 million as part of the hunter biden enterprise and at first some of this was income, they weren't paying taxes, now they're saying it is loans. the fact of the matter is the reason why we're doing an inquiry and had a vote

if he's high as a kite, what is he offering burisma. >> his dad.a: the terms that james comer has mentioned include bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, potential securities fraud. we're going to talk with james comer coming up. quick break and then it's beginning to look a lot like christmas for the markets that's for sure. we're looking at a rally, can it keep going. markets are up again this morning. the word on wall street panel is here with expectations and then the wife of andrea b bocelli is here with us this morning. she'll talk about the christmas concerts in new york and the holiday season. don't miss that. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. ♪ a few years ago, i came to saona, they told me there's no electricity on the island. we always thought that whatever we did here would be an emblem of what small communities can achieve. trying to give a better life to people that don't have the means to do it. si mi papá estuviera vivo, sé que él tuviera orgulloso también de vivir de esta viviendo una vida como la que es

or burisma bribery charges where no one is still find the former ceo of burisma to this day, and what hunter was selling that people were actually buying. family business still looks like influence peddling, hunter has been busted in delaware for guns and busted in california for taxes but we don't know much about invading foreign registration act. and now if you say all circumstantial, i is suppose you might have a points, jamie comer has a lot of suspicious looking bank depo deposit records, you suspect it should come to something, stress party karine jean-pierre -- tr. if he loses in november election to donald trump. i'm for the house g.o.p. following through on their investigation. all of the money -- follow the money. but, somehow my political antenna tells me that impeachment investigation is a better strategy than actual impeachment. and meanwhile republicans should not forget about the election importance of a strong economic growth and prosperity message, drill, baby, drill. cut taxes, minimize regulations, curb federal spending, maintain a reliable king dollar bidenomics ha

washington, d.c., the son of the president and engaged in criminal corruption with china, ukraine, burisma, didn't report 1 million in income from burisma, huge scandal. >> emily: we will see whether he is convicted for those. to jake's point, he was having a great time, when you do so at the expense of the federal government and snubbing your nose at those who do pay taxes, at your wife and child who were not worthy of a few dollars to support. jake laid out million dollars on various women and adult entertainment, fail to identify payment to stripper and escort as personal expenses. he says he paid a stripper for artwork, there was no artwork exchanged. spend at a strip club. spend your money how you do it, do not do so at the expense of government, your fellow citizens or impunity you behave because of your last night. >> dagen: right, we all knew hunter biden was trash-tastic steady ball of steam. and andy mccarthy writes about this, the way the indictment is written, david weiss lays out because of the details, this man is a reprobate, deserving of prosecution despite what abbe lowell

involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as an own of burisma and not as a businessman, not in my investment at home or abroad and certainly not as an artist. during my battle with addiction my parents were there for me. they literally saved my life. they helped me in ways that i will never be able to repay and of course, they would never expect me to, but in the depths of my addiction i was extremely irresponsible with my finances, but to suggest that is grounds for an impeachment inquiry is beyond the absurd. it's shameless. there is no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen. james comer, jim jordan, jason smith and their colleagues have distorted the facts by cherry picking lines from a bank statement, manipulating texts i sent, editing the testimony of my friends and former business partners and misstating personal information that was stolen from me. there is no fairness or decency in what these republicans are doing. they have lied over and over about every aspect of my personal and prof

biden is on the board of burisma and goes to italy and she is also in italy.n it all starts and continued through 2018 with foreign interest trying to have influence on this family. >> brian: where is joe in all this and what about devon archer saying joe biden called in a lot. what is your answer to that? >> on december 4, 2015, when the head of burisma asked devon archer and hunter biden, we need help, we are under pressure from the prosecutor in ukraine. devon archer said hunter biden called his dad and three days later his dad goes to ukraine and gets that prosecutor fired. he used taxpayer dollars to go. that is not supposed to be how it works. this story is old as the hills. politician does certain things and benefits his family. then there is an effort to conceal it and that is what david weiss has done. >> brian: you don't know what you don't know. from what you have already done, when kevin mccarthy said we're doing this, you found enough you feel you converted your slim majority? >> i think they will now officially vote for it. when we have that vote

and then the guy who worked for burisma, the cfo, he gave hunter three and half million as well he and devon archer, he had dinner with then vice president joe biden and according to the ft 1023 the former fdi from the reliable informant, joe biden and hunter were paying $5 million to get the prosecutor in ukraine fired and which by the way they did, the ceo of burisma got off scott free. maria: i been focused a lot on china, i know your investigation has included money from communist china ending up on joe biden's account, are you anywhere near uncovering something like that in terms his business with china? >> what surprised me and shocked me, when he was president-elect he said a strong economic and china's united states best interest, i thought that's what xi jinping would want the president of the united states to say. when we uncovered a 5 million other payment from the chinese company that has direct links to the chinese communist party to hunter biden and hunter biden scott was $400,000 of that. and that same day he wires 40000, 10% to his brother jim who gives the 40002 joe an

, the idea she is not sanctioned then hunter biden gets put often the board of burisma this influence peddling thing starts it continues all the way through 2018. maria: mr. chairman, i've got to say i don't know about that, because i remember back in 2013 even way before that, when joe biden signed off on having thousands of chinese companies listed on new york exchanges, new york stock exchange, allowed to list in our capital markets not follow same rules as sec has regular companies american companies to follow autoed rules how come joe biden loid thousands of companies to trade in the united states, not follow sec rules? >> yeah, great question. i think. maria: pied for that did it start back then those stocks in indices, that has i believe enabled american investors to fund the expansion of communist china. >> scary stuff particularly when that document chairman comer released last week from asian-american bank talked how china wants to, you know, have influence over, politicians pao children. maria: invite. >> not so much maybe hunter biden shake down some chinese company more c

tartit's all starts back in 201 and she's connected to burisma. >> buris she's connected to whee this all starts. so for them to say that makes no sense . >> that's why we're going to have an impeachment inquiry vote. it'll help us get additionalille witnesses in which will buttress, i think, the already compelling evidencie we have. >> i will. but it wasn't. you're talking about a lane, a batterna by. now, that's the russian oligarch. that's the former first ladyit ' of moscow. but it wasn't just the three and a half million dollars. didn't devon archer testify and say that she over $100hundr million in real estate, real estate. and the venture that thatr wain hunter and involved in and m the family was involved in. that's $100 million from a russian oligarch. and by the way, the samean with russian oligarch, he had dinner with a cafe. >> milano, correct . s inte correct. and the timing is interesting because when that first investment happens when the, it's in hap february of 2014. it happens a week before russia invades crimea. and then it's two weeks after when there are sanctions

burisma in the claim of bribe, the handling of prosecution, family finances. if you would like to read it it's on the hill.com. selma from the bronx, new york. caller: i oppose this 100%. donald trump is a rapist. he is a liar. he is a punk. he is a thief. i oppose this impeachment, it is only revenge. impeachment, give me a break. donald trump's kids are crooks. jared kushner received 2 billion from the saudi's. donald trump and his family, they are the crooks and thieves. and donald trump raped a woman in new york city. i am calling you from new york city. he raped e jean king. none of us care about those crooked impeachment inquiry. get a life. host: sam is in mississippi. good morning. caller: i do support the inquiry. first of all, he needs to be in peace because of the open borders. that in itself is impeachable to me. the fact that his picture has been taken with hunter's associates and he gets on tv and denies, will not denies but talks about withholding money from burisma. unless the prosecutor is fired for investigating the company that hunter was wi

burisma, because he forgotten, which you are forgiven for doing, burisma is the widely debunked conspiracyy that donald trump said rudy giuliani to dig up and ukraine. that is the one that trump tried to threaten zelenskyy into pushing publicly, even though it was nonsense. the actual high crime that trump was impeached for, for the first time in 2020, that is the source of it. here we are, four years later, including nearly an entire year with a republican house majority investigating these claims, and that is what they got? they got the thrown away rapper of a scandal from 2020? they got nothing. don't take my word for though, ask republican senator chuck grassley of iowa. >> i have no evidence of that, and i will follow the facts where they are, and the facts have not taken me to a point where i can say that the president did anything. >> that is a grassley, not some never trump than. oh chuck rossi as been doubtful about this for years to. if you're so -- even the weatherman on the fox and friends couches not buying it. >> congressman, excellent question for you, have you found -- have

not just with burisma, but also with the chinese.we know according to tony bobulinski who was supposed to be in on that cefc. they wanted to start buying interest in american countries. energy companies in particular. there are laws that prevent that. they hired the bidens to help them navigate the bureaucracy and open doors that were shut to anyone related to china. the bidens were essentially going to work for china. that's what the company was that joe biden was going to get 10% of. we have proven that joe biden, the $40,000 check, came through that entity where joe biden was supposed to be 10% owner. just like tony bobulinski said. >> chairman comer, thank you. we appreciate it. >>> breaking news out of the weaponize and politicized fbi of joe biden. a new report revealing that the bureau's targeting of catholics was far worse than the fbi director would have you believe as part of its federal fishing expedition into so-called traditional catholics. the fbi apparently interrogated at least one priest and a choir director. here wi

those were the burisma years. how convenient. he also is accused of committing fraud by deducting a sex club membership and porn subscriptions as business expenses. are you kidding me? during this time hunter lived a quite extravagant lifestyle according to the indictment spending nearly $700,000 on various women. another $400,000 on clothing and accessories. $188,000 on adult entertainment, whatever that means. another $215,000 on restaurants and food. and get this. he took out more than $1.6 million in atm withdrawals. in other words, hunter was spending millions on, quote, "drugs, escorts, girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cards, clothing, other items all while dodging taxes and child-support payments. but in a newly released podcast, hunter tells the world that he and his father are victims of vast right-wing conspiracy now back. according to hunter republicans are trying to kill him. take a listen. >> they are trying to destroy a presidency. so it's not about me. in there most basic way what they are tryi

thinking about doing an op-ed because he knew what was going to look like when he took the job at burismais is going to come up he decided not to do that for whatever reason. maria: the white house is responding to peter doocy about president biden knowing ahead of time that hunter would make the plea to the media and defy the congressional subpoena. >> you said president biden was familiar with something on capitol hill. if i called my dad and said i am about to violate a congressional subpoena, he probably say son you shouldn't do that, was there any attempt by president biden to talk hunter out of it today. >> i'm to call your dad steve. >> a call and dad usually. >> i don't have anything else to add, the president was familiar with what hunter was going to say today and he's proud of his son, he and the first lady are proud of his son and always rebuilding his life back in his get a focus on what is needed for the american people. maria: tries to distract with you call your father steve. i love that peter brushed her off because he's a professional. at the same time with the end of th

was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of burisma, not in my partnership with a chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad. certainly not as an artist. >> bill: so we had a plan when we came on the air today. >> dana: i like it when it gets thrown out. >> bill: it is all out the window. >> dana: the white house press secretary will have to answer this at 1:00 p.m. >> bill: you have that and the big vote in the house. see how it goes. we'll follow every turn as it happens. >> dana: martha maccallum is in for harris. turn it over to you. >> martha: we have continuing coverage here, of course, right now as hunter biden was supposed to be sitting right now behind closed doors for a deposition on the hill. but this morning again he said he will speak only to lawmakers if he can do so publicly. welcome to "the faulkner focus", everybody. good morning, i'm martha maccallum in for harris. republicans said they wanted to talk to hunter biden closed doors. they would hold him in contempt if he didn't show up. he did

maria: your talked about burisma. we want to know about china.he canceled the china initiative. w.did xi jinping asked him to do it? >> yeah, well, of course. you have a completely corrupted white house because of payments that have been made from the chinese communist party to his family. so we absolutely need to step enforcement of this, need to step up the fact that people shouldn't be able to get money from foreign countries especially if they're in elected office or their family members. maria: you have policy failing all over the place, the wide open border among them. sources told fox there were 10,000 migrant encounters on sunday and monday of this week, two days, nearly 170 chinese nationals crossed into san diego as well as the fbi director wray warned that the likelihood of a terrorist attack on u.s. soil is now at an all time high. watch this. >> all the threats, so many of the threats are all elevated, all at exactly the same time. so blinking red lights analogy about 9/11, all the lights were blinking red before 9/11, apparent lirks

joining me political figure number one is joe biden the head of ice pulling immigration info for burisma executives. it sure sounds like they were getting special treatment, i wonder why. >> exactly. an interesting tactic for democrats you hear all the time hunter biden is involved in all of the shady deals and doing all the stuff with foreign governments and getting paid but has nothing to do a joe biden on so many levels it does not pass the smell test and this is another example of it where you have clear evidence of foreign entities who hired hunter biden impeded menorahs amounts of money and no expertise but who got special favors from the government. one example of many where that is the case and i don't know how much more of a diagram that you need to draw flowing money from foreign entities that were paying for access into joe biden's pocket or the biden families pocket but this is pretty obvious to me. david: if her easement officials or executives are getting a payback for what they were doing with hunter, that seems absolutely like there was a parade quote pro. >> you would ca

you know, burisma had hired hunter to sit on its board for nearly a million bucks a year.in a corruption probe. so is the house impeach. inquiry zeroing in on bribery allegations? >> it is. you know, there's a couple of different reasons why there are three different congressional committees involved; ways and mean,s oversight and judiciary. and it's because the bribery is extensive, and it requires tax documents, it requires us digging into the doj, and it requires that basic oversight responsibility that we have. listen, alexander hamilton was exceptionally clear in federalist 65 that impeach impeachment inquiries and impeachment itself was also to go after that public trust that had been broken, to go after the misuse of public funds. this is a clear cut case where we have seen the fbi 1023 form, that fbi tip that showed that there was something going on. why was hunter biden on the board at a million dollars a year salary when he had zero experience in the energy industry? maybe it's because he had connections and could peddle influence in our nation's capitol. and and

he didn't act as an attorney or on the board of burisma, which we know that. what is the difference here, james, he's now making that detailed sort of limitation, putting parameters on it? wasn't financially involved? >> that might be a way of acknowledging what we know. the heart of this business is joe biden. doesn't work without joe biden cooperating. allowing hunter to come on air force 2 as they go to different places around the world to do business without allowing hunter to welcome guests and have the president schmooz them or contact them. we've seen e-mails with joe biden and the hunter biden business associates. so it looks like they're trying to finesse their way to, okay, maybe joe biden was the door opener, the enablers, the special sauce that made all of this money happen, but the money actually went in to someone else's account, hunter or one of the other hunter biden family. >> martha: we heard from devin archer that was financially involved in these deals when asked in the testimony, you know what were they selling? he said the brand was joe b

because that business, burisma, was corrupt, it was going down.d to make sure i could pass muster on wall street, that is what that was all about. when hunter biden says "my father was not financially involved" come as a prosecutor, every antenna goes up. so if your father was not financially involved, first, you know, joe says he knows nothing of his sons business. next he is not involved in his business, now he is not financially involved. then it begs the question and it begs impeachment inquiry. how was he involved then? if he wasn't financially, tell me all the circuitous ways he was involved, and we do that with the emails, we do it with his so-called stolen laptop, which he has already admitted is his, and there is proof, pictures, photographs, emails, business partners, and the crazy part of this thing is he says, "i want to speak in front of the united states people." wait a minute, wasn't at the democrats, jesse, who had that impeachment inquiry in the bottom of the basement of the house, where nancy pelosi said for two years, you know,

they're going to air all of this dirty laundry about the burisma deal, i was getting $80,000 a monthserve on a ukrainian gas board. it didn't make sense to me, if i were republicans running i'd say, okay, give him his wish. let him tough publicly. i'm not going to say this is going to help republicans with their impeachment of joe biden. now that he's been indicted again, i mean, i don't know what his lawyer's advising him, but i can't imagine why he woild actually want to say anything in -- >> we have republicans speaking on the hill right now, let's listen. >> we are in an official impeachment inquiry phase of our oversight. when that happens, we'll see what their excuse is then. they should have been here today, but once we take that vote, we expect him to come in for his interview for his deposition, and frankly, we'll also, i think, look at contempt proceedings as we move forward. with that we'll take your questions. >> why not just call his bluff? he's here. he's obviously not wanting to sit for a deposition. this could be one chance to -- >> there's a way to do informations an
