House Republican’s Impeachment Articles Against Biden Include Allegation of ‘Prostitution’

Jon Dougherty
August 26, 2023

A House Republican has filed new impeachment articles against President Joe Biden.
 
Earlier in the week, Rep. Greg Steube of Florida filed his resolution making several allegations, including the president’s alleged “involvement in drugs and prostitution.”
 
“I intend on filing an impeachment resolution on Joe Biden for bribery, for extortion, obstruction of justice, fraud, financial involvement in drugs and prostitution,” he told Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight” program ahead of the filing.
 
“We have all the facts and evidence now. In the beginning of this Congress, Republicans wanted to make sure that we did the investigations, that we got the information before the American people,” he added.
 
The Republican lawmaker then referenced Hunter Biden’s controversial laptop, some of which has been made public, showing him doing drugs and engaging in sexual activities, among other things.
 
“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” said Steube in a subsequent press release. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens.
 
“The evidence continues to mount by the day – the Biden Crime Family has personally profited off Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country,” he added.
 
He then laid out the articles individually:
 
ARTICLE 1: ABUSE OF POWER: BRIBERY, HOBBS ACT EXTORTION, & HONEST SERVICES FRAUD
 
Robert Hunter Biden (Hunter Biden) and James Biden sold access to then Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. (Joe Biden) while he was in office from 2009 to 2017 and sold promised access to a future Biden Presidential Administration while he was out of office from 2017 to 2021. Hunter and James appear to have promised official actions by Joe Biden in return for payments and business opportunities from foreign and domestic business partners. Joe Biden assisted by making appearances, phone calls, meeting with the “business partners,” and knowingly allowing his family members to promise access to him and actions by him in furtherance of these schemes. Hunter Biden threatened business partners that official actions could be taken against them if they did not meet terms or make payments. In at least one instance, Hunter implied that Joe Biden was aware of these threats and willing to assist in enforcing the threats, potentially through official actions. Hunter Biden attempted to enrich himself and the Biden family by threatening official actions from his father, who he claims was willing to assist in the scheme. 
 
These acts are abuses of power as well as the following federal crimes or conspiracy to commit the following federal crimes: Bribery of Public Officials, 18 USC § 201; Hobbs Act Extortion “Under Color of Official Right,” 18 USC § 1951; Honest Services Fraud relating to use of official position, 18 USC § 1346.
 
ARTICLE 2: OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
 
According to testimony from IRS whistleblowers, members of the Biden campaign improperly colluded with Justice Department (DOJ) officials to improperly interfere with investigations into tax crimes alleged to have been committed by Hunter Biden. 
 
These acts constitute an abuse of power as well as Obstruction of Justice, 18 USC §§ 1505, 1510, 1512.
 
ARTICLE 3: FRAUD
 
James Biden recruited “investors” for business ventures that ultimately failed. There is evidence to suggest that these investment opportunities were sold to investors based on false and fraudulent pretenses and promises. Access to Joe Biden and indications that Joe Biden supported these schemes were used to lure investors into the schemes. 
 
These acts constitute fraud or conspiracy to commit fraud in violation of 18 USC §§ 1943, 1949.
 
ARTICLE 4: FINANCIAL INVOLVEMENT IN DRUG AND PROSTITUTION
 
Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have a long history of comi

Trump is being tried on similar charges while Biden walks free.  If the heat gets too high on Biden, Democrats will replace him. Republicans don’t have a similar option.

Republicans don't need replacement. Trump has done nothing wrong such that he needs to be replaced.

If they destroy him as a viable candidate, there is no replacement. They can still do that.

They've been trying to destroy him for over 7 years now...

And none of the cases they have against him now have any teeth to them.

But a jury might still convict.

If they can convict, it can and will be appealed. But they don't have any hard concrete evidence to convict him of anything.

It doesn’t really matter if they can get a jury to sign off. Then they can use it in campaign ads that he is a convicted felon. They don’t care if it’s overturned after he loses.

If they campaign that he's a convicted felon, it will yet again boost his poll numbers. (* CHUCKLE *)
