The witnesses and Republicans on the panel argued that more bank records from Biden and his son Hunter Biden are needed to determine whether a crime might have been committed.

Comer said in his opening statement that Biden family members and their associates “raked in over $20 million between 2014 and 2019” from foreign sources. “What were the Bidens selling to make all this money? Joe Biden himself,” he said.

    Comer said in his opening statement that Biden family members and their associates “raked in over $20 million between 2014 and 2019” from foreign sources. “What were the Bidens selling to make all this money? Joe Biden himself,” he said. “This deserves investigation,” Comer said later.

    … So? Joe Biden wasn’t an elected official.

    House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, called it “a tale as old as time. Politician takes action that makes money for his family and then he tries to conceal it.”

    As above, during that time frame, Joe Biden wasn’t an elected official, hence not a politician. Jordan’s quip should instead read, “Person takes action that makes money for his family, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

    And that’s only if the allegations they’re making are true.
