00:03:14.500Make sure the American people hear all these facts.
00:03:16.520Abbey Lowell weaponized his letters to Congress to try to smear my name and misstate the cold, hard facts in an attempt to save his powerfully connected client and his father.
00:03:26.140I challenge Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies.
00:03:32.480Mr. Parnas, how much time did you spend in prison?
00:03:50.280And the crime was that you were trying to acquire marijuana licenses and you took money from a Russian oligarch and you tried to use that money to go give political donations and do what you had to do to acquire marijuana licenses.
00:04:42.000But instead of spending 50 years in prison, you got four months.
00:04:46.000As this hearing continues, I look forward to hearing what Mr. Galanis thinks about how he was treated by the DOJ for telling the truth as opposed to how you're treated for lying.
00:04:53.520The DOJ didn't listen to the truth because if they would listen to the truth, you guys would have been all in jail.
00:04:56.540The question Mr. Gates had is for Mr. Galanis.
00:04:59.320You can't handle the truth, Matt Gates.
00:05:02.140Look, well, the truth for you is taking money from Russians to buy marijuana businesses and then going to jail and then coming here to lie about Trump.
00:05:09.440You should know better than anybody what the DOJ is about.
00:05:26.760And yet that doesn't make it any less disappointing because to the congressman's point, there's actual work that they need to be doing for the American people, right?
00:05:34.440All of this comes at a price, not just to our politics, but to the very essence of our democracy.
00:05:39.900Well, yes, but I do have to say that what happened today was truly amazing, even by our standards.
00:05:48.680I mean, it is one thing to say that this thing is falling apart, but that actually understates how horrifically bad this is.
00:05:57.120Lev Parnass coming out and just humiliating this committee, calling out by name Senator Ron Johnson, Congressman Pete Sessions, talking about the disinformation, how it comes from Russia.
00:06:12.680If there was even a little bit of shame in James Comer's personality, they would just completely have turned off the lights and left the room and gone off to, I don't know, to a retreat someplace.
00:06:26.120I mean, this was a, you know, you really, in one day, you encapsulated how absurd this was and then juxtapose it with the actual serious business in front of Congress.
00:06:39.120We're a few days away from a shutdown, and yet we have this incredibly inept circus going on.
00:08:48.980The greatest president of modern times?
00:08:51.780And one time, in fact, in 2019, when he was giving us the greatest, you know, the third year of peace and prosperity, impeach over Ukraine, over that corrupt oligarchs in Ukraine?
00:09:28.080I mean, he can go on Fox and Hannity and go on these shows every night and talk and talk big talk, and he's going to do this, and he's going to do that.
00:09:35.080You've got to roll hard, and it's got to be tight.
00:09:38.280People have to be out of the same playbook.
00:09:41.800And then you've got to rule that with an iron hand.
00:10:11.200Biden and the family and the pervert degenerate son took plenty of money out of there, and they got, you know, congressmen have sat in the war room.
00:10:20.460Nancy Mace, MTG, I think Lauren Boebert have all been over to Treasury and seen the files of what they have said.
00:10:27.520And asserted is trafficking on women for money.
00:10:35.900But the crimes with the Chinese Communist Party and taking the money from the Chinese Communist Party and rubbing up on the Chinese Communist Party is in depth.
00:11:04.360Number one, there's not that many had that much guts.
00:11:06.420Number two, Pelosi and these people, they, boom, shut it down.
00:11:10.760The British call it a close run thing.
00:11:14.980We need somebody up there, and maybe they turn it over to Gates.
00:11:18.680Why is it always Gates and just a couple of others that come in and go, boom, and they try to back Gates off, and he's, boom, coming with the information?
00:11:39.460In fact, he's not even controlled opposition.
00:11:40.760He's part of the Uniparty, a leading member.
00:11:43.640And the people you see around him, his team, today was, we're going to play more clips from it.
00:11:50.960The information out there, and this should have been a day that the American people got the details, and also Hunter Biden just giving the old, screw you, I'm not coming.
00:12:00.680Just blowing off a subpoena on something that is actually a committee of Congress, because guess why?
00:12:06.880You have a ranking member, and you have minority counsel.
00:12:11.720That's where they even get the privilege of jumping in there and trying to cut things off.
00:12:17.140So we're going to play more clips of this.
00:12:19.520But the information that's out there in the Biden crime film, and now they're going to come up with, well, it's so late, it's an election year, it's an election year.
00:12:26.340This is exactly the same whiny that Polly Pockets Johnson is going to use this week.
00:13:59.620Everything Biden does in relation to them has to be in the context of the money.
00:14:08.260The American people, they have to have this adjudicated in front of them, not let deteriorate into a brawl because the Democrats are going to do that.
00:14:18.400You have to understand that before you walk in there.
00:14:20.580Jamie Raskin, Goldman, AOC, there's a whole raft of them.
00:14:25.140They don't care about the Constitution.
00:16:43.760On August 8th, four days later, $5 million is then transferred from the Northern International Capital account of $5 million to Hudson West III.
00:16:57.600Hudson West III is a bank account controlled by Hunter Biden and Mr. Gon Wang, a.k.a. Kevin Dong, who is a CEFC associate.
00:17:07.500That money comes from the Northern International Capital bank account, a bank account that is tied to the CCP.
00:17:14.220Mr. Chairman, I want to submit for the record the bank statement demonstrating that transfer.
00:17:44.320Now, here's where the fun stuff comes in, everybody, and I got a minute to do it, so we're going to get this done.
00:17:48.040On August 14th, there is $150,000 that is transferred from OWASCO PC, which is controlled by Hunter Biden, to Lion Hall Group, which is controlled by James Biden.
00:18:02.160I have the records here, Mr. Chairman, of the $150,000 that has gone to Lion Hall Group from OWASCO PC.
00:18:11.500On August 28th, and I believe we have a screenshot for everybody in the room.
00:18:14.660On August 28th, Mr. Chairman, we have the withdrawal ticket from Lion Hall Group that is signed by Sarah Biden, who is the wife of Jim Biden, for $50,000 to withdraw from Lion Hall Group.
00:18:27.880I want to submit that withdrawal receipt for the record.
00:18:32.560On September 3rd, on August 28th, actually, Mr. Chairman, we have the deposit reference into Sarah Jones Biden's account on the same day she withdrew it from Lion Hall.
00:18:45.860On September 3rd, 2007, from Sarah Biden's own personal account, there is a check that is written to Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., the President of the United States today, for $40,000, signed loan repayment.
00:19:00.420A loan repayment, by the way, that Joe Biden's own personal accountant, Mr. Eric Schwerin, has no record for.
00:19:07.880I want to submit that for the record, Mr. Chairman.
00:19:10.560To the members of the committee, it is clear that the source of this money came from CEFC, and that CEFC is a company that is directly linked to the CCP, and actually the chairman of the CCP, the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, Chairman Xi Jinping.
00:19:32.980That's called a close-run thing right there.
00:19:34.800That's Byron Donalds, who today got amazing points in the war room scoreboard for not letting people interrupt him and not letting anybody, you know, get in his way.
00:20:02.380Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank my colleagues for what you have been doing here today, unraveling these issues.
00:20:11.620Mr. Galinas, in your written testimony, you state that your, quote, objective was to build a diversified private equity platform, which would be anchored by a globally known Wall Street brand, together with a globally known political name, Biden, end quote.
00:20:29.460Is it correct that Harvest Fund Management, a $300 billion Chinese financial services company, closely connected to the Chinese Communist Party, CCP, was interested in partnering with you and your business partners?
00:21:22.460Is it correct that Harvest Fund Management believed that Joe Biden would take a seat on that company's board after his vice presidency ended?
00:21:33.540And there were emails to that effect around that time that were circulated by people who were there as part of those conversations, including the golf outing.
00:21:52.820It seems clear that Joe Biden was aware of his family's use of his office and influence to do business with America's adversaries, and therefore a choice to pursue personal gain over national security.
00:22:07.100Mr. Bobulinski, is it true that former Vice President Joe Biden met with Li Jingming, the chairman of CEFC China Energy?
00:22:18.040It is based on Rob Walker saying yes to that in a transcribed interview.
00:22:26.260When did this meeting take place based on what Mr. Walker said?
00:22:30.800In my understanding, it would have been February 2017.
00:22:35.360After they had a meeting in Miami, I believe James Gillier got on the corporate jet of CFC and flew with Yi Jianming and Director Zhang to D.C. in preparation for that meeting.
00:22:47.060After this meeting with former Vice President Joe Biden and Chairman Yee, were any payments made to the Biden family or associates?
00:22:57.840Yes, well, it gets to that point of obfuscation.
00:23:00.120$3 million was wired to Rob Walker's account on March 1st.
00:24:29.080And I think that there's documentation that says that that's just an untruthful statement.
00:24:33.860And what I'm trying to understand, Mr. Galanis, is there you are sitting in a prison cell for a financial crime where you were an associate with Hunter Biden and some of the other players there.
00:24:45.340And they're out enjoying Southern California and you're sitting in a prison cell.
00:24:49.840And they've got the ability to come and give this false testimony to Congress.
00:24:54.080Is it is it your belief that the Biden Justice Department retaliates against people who speak out against the Bidens and their crimes?
00:27:00.700And by the mid-2000s, Chairman Yee ran a business empire estimated, as much as you can estimate a Chinese state-owned empire, tens of billions, including, and from a national security standpoint, this is the critical piece here, including implementing China's Belt and Road Initiative, not just all over the world, right here in the United States.
00:27:32.340At its peak, I think it was doing $50 billion of revenue per year, one of the top five largest-
00:27:37.320Debt diplomacy, where they are taking electrical grids, they are bribing officials, they take as collateral, not just grids, ports, airports, key infrastructure that the Chinese government could then leverage and use against any country, but also here in the United States.
00:27:56.540I mean, that's how the Belt and Road Initiative works.
00:27:58.560Heck, I was just in the Armed Services Committee with the commander of Indo-PACOM, our Pacific Command, talking about how China is basically gobbling up infrastructure around the world, including here.
00:28:12.580So, by the mid-2015, 2016, Hunter Biden's developed a very lucrative business relationship.
00:28:22.420By 2017, Hunter Biden's forwarded such a partnership with chairman, yea, that he planned to share an office space with him and then just removed Vice President Biden at the House of Sweden in Washington, D.C., correct?
00:28:42.200And building on Chairman Fox's question, within days of him leaving the vice presidency, ostensibly for work performed $3 million,
00:28:52.420flows through these shell companies that we've depicted here.
00:28:57.060I mean, you could see how complicated this is, but the key piece is the flow to Hallie Biden, to Jim and Sarah Biden, to Hunter Biden and his various affiliates.
00:29:10.680And the kicker here, Mr. Chairman, is that we know Hunter is then complaining about paying all his dad's bills.
00:29:20.080He's complaining to the other relatives, saying, you freeloaders, I'm having to use all this money to pay the big guy's bills, house renovations, and all kinds of things, correct?
00:29:30.880And it's important for the American people to understand the $3 million was three of $20 million that the Bidens expected to be paid for the work in 2015 and 2016.
00:29:44.300That's all documented, bank records, text messages, e-mails.
00:29:47.800Mr. Chairman, Bob Menendez's wife can't get paid by the Egyptians and then provide that money over to pay Goldbar Bob's, Senator Menendez's bills.
00:30:00.360I can't have my daughter get paid by, I don't know, Kazakhstan, Russia, and China and then pay my bills.
00:30:06.040And we know also that they had commingled funds with the Vice President of the United States.
00:30:11.300When we talk about crimes, let's talk about the crimes.
