The Biden crime family and whistleblowers have come forward.
00:01:39.720
Whistleblowers have talked today, and we're sitting here with Congressman James Comer,
00:01:45.920
This is probably going to be one of my favorite episodes that we've ever done.
00:01:50.520
And we're going to go in order of how we got to these whistleblowers.
00:01:54.660
But before we even get to that, you and I talked.
00:01:58.560
We're going to find out exactly what those whistleblowers said today in front of the committee
00:02:03.300
Well, Ben, let me welcome you to Washington, D.C.
00:02:12.340
So my friend James Comer, congressman from the great state of Kentucky, chairman of the
00:02:16.860
House Oversight Committee, has been deep up personal with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and
00:02:25.360
And I've got to say, when we started using that phrase, Biden crime family, I thought
00:02:35.160
Like, I've got to say, every damn day that unfolds, that's less and less exaggeration.
00:02:41.420
And so James has been, the reason we're starting so late is he's been voting until 11 o'clock
00:02:51.380
And today, this is going to air on Thursday, but today, Wednesday, as we're sitting here
00:02:57.560
almost midnight, you had a hearing in the House of Representatives that was a big, big
00:03:07.800
And so I just want to start by asking, what happened today?
00:03:15.260
They didn't have time to turn on the TV yesterday.
00:03:20.400
What happened in the House of Representatives on Wednesday?
00:03:24.020
Well, I think we had a very substantive hearing on a very serious subject.
00:03:30.820
And the two witnesses we had were, I think, the most credible witnesses we've had in front
00:03:37.000
of the Oversight Committee in the entire seven years I've been in Congress.
00:03:41.020
These were the two highest ranking IRS career employees from the International Tax Crime Division.
00:03:51.100
So these were the guys that investigate all the suspicious wires, all the foreign influence,
00:03:58.680
any type of tax evasion from foreign entities, the influx of illegal Chinese money.
00:04:09.960
So this was two of the 12, one sixth of the entire international tax fraud team for the IRS.
00:04:16.580
And what they had to say was very concerning because I never knew over the past six months
00:04:22.600
whether or not the IRS even knew about the shell companies that the Bidens had,
00:04:26.940
if they even knew about all the suspicious activity reports that Treasury had that showed
00:04:31.260
that the Bidens were laundering money through shell companies, through various banks.
00:04:37.600
We've been talking about this and the Democrats have said, well, there's no evidence.
00:04:44.500
So we finally had two whistleblowers come forward.
00:04:48.340
They gave a transcribed interview to the Ways and Means Committee, which is the appropriate process.
00:04:54.560
They're the ones, as you know, in the House that has jurisdiction over the IRS.
00:04:58.580
Then they agreed to come to a committee hearing for the House Oversight Committee.
00:05:04.040
So the American people got to see today a six-hour hearing with 50 members of Congress,
00:05:09.860
each having six minutes to ask these Irish whistleblowers questions.
00:05:16.740
And there were substantive questions on the Republican side.
00:05:18.920
Now, the Democrats, all they thought about was Trump and racism and things like that.
00:05:27.120
And what we learned was that the Bidens have committed a series of crimes.
00:05:34.800
There were many more tax evasion issues than what Hunter Biden pled guilty to.
00:05:41.960
The IRS whistleblowers had investigated this for five years, and they were told to stand down by the Department of Justice.
00:05:49.020
And what happened is they took so long, they let a lot of the statutes and limitations expire to where the penalties that the Bidens were going to have to plead guilty to kept shrinking and shrinking and shrinking.
00:06:06.680
Anyone else in America would already be in prison for the amount of money they evaded.
00:06:13.420
These two whistleblowers, look, an initial assessment you've got to make, the House of Representatives has to make, if we see an impeachment trial, the Senate has to make, and ultimately the American people have to make, is are these guys credible?
00:06:30.940
And so if you're trying to assess, are these credible witnesses, one of the questions you ask is, do they have a bias?
00:06:37.320
You know, if you have a witness who is, say, a disgruntled employee that got fired, sometimes they make up all sorts of crazy stories.
00:06:44.420
If you have a witness who's a partisan, maybe they're, you know, a hardcore Republican, they hate Joe Biden, so they'll come in and testify to something nasty because they've got a political bias.
00:06:54.360
So one of the things that I think is striking is that both of these guys, they're career IRS employees.
00:07:01.180
They've spent their entire professional life working at the IRS.
00:07:08.700
I don't know if anyone asked today, but I suspect neither of them voted for Donald Trump.
00:07:19.980
The number of career IRS employees who are Democrats who voted for Donald Trump, if that's not zero, it's pretty darn close.
00:07:27.420
So that suggests there's not a reason on the face to doubt what they're saying.
00:07:37.640
Anyone that comes forward with serious allegations of criminality, and to be clear, what they've alleged is criminality by Hunter Biden.
00:07:45.920
But look, if we were just talking about Hunter Biden, he is a troubled soul.
00:07:51.520
If it were just Hunter Biden, this wouldn't be national news.
00:07:55.220
But they're also alleging criminal conduct by Merrick Garland, the attorney general of the United States under Joe Biden.
00:08:01.660
And they are ultimately alleging criminal conduct by Joe Biden, the sitting president of the United States.
00:08:11.040
They wanted to interview Joe Biden's grandchildren.
00:08:13.960
When you say they, so people understand, who is they?
00:08:20.480
There were seven that were set to interview Joe Hunter Biden and his children.
00:08:27.920
And it was IRS employees as well as FBI employees.
00:08:35.000
They'd all agree that they should be interviewed.
00:08:37.020
They've gotten to the point to where they, we need to knock on his door and say, hey, where is all this?
00:08:42.900
What did you do to receive this money from our enemies?
00:08:48.040
One of the things that I found really stunning is what the testimony was, that they're getting ready to knock on Hunter Biden's door.
00:08:53.720
And if you're doing an investigation, you go knock on a suspect's door.
00:08:56.660
You want to interview them, you want to catch them off guard.
00:08:58.600
You want to get them to say something they're not expecting.
00:09:01.740
Like you want them to get them to say something stupid.
00:09:03.960
Because the sad thing is criminals really are stupid.
00:09:08.600
So what did the whistleblowers tell us happened that is unusual when they're getting ready to knock on Hunter's door?
00:09:15.340
The Secret Service, because at the time they were going to knock on Hunter's door, was at the point where Joe Biden had just gotten elected president.
00:09:22.360
So he had Secret Service Protection and he had the transition team.
00:09:27.300
The Secret Service was notified that Hunter Biden was about to be approached by IRS and FBI employees.
00:09:36.400
And then the Biden transition team was approached.
00:09:43.180
And then they called the FBI agents and the IRS agents and said, don't knock on that door.
00:09:50.960
If he wants to come out, he'll come out and talk to you.
00:10:01.260
So let me underscore, the Department of Justice tipped off Hunter.
00:10:07.780
And Hunter called in his lawyers and they said, don't talk to him.
00:10:11.360
Like in any other circumstance, if you're investigating criminal conduct, do you tip off the suspect beforehand?
00:10:19.520
They said that never happened in their decade long service to the IRS.
00:10:25.080
When they were told to go home, who told them to go home?
00:10:41.180
Look, if you're at home, you're watching TV, you're trying to figure out what these are.
00:10:50.100
I knew a lot about these because I was a director of a bank for over a decade.
00:10:53.700
A suspicious activity report is when the bank files notice with the Treasury Cabinet that they suspect their client has committed a crime.
00:11:02.740
They have a strong suspicion that a crime was committed.
00:11:10.980
Very seldom, despite what the Washington Post or in their defense of the Biden, they say, well, everybody has a suspicious activity report.
00:11:20.500
I think we issued two over the course of 10 years.
00:11:25.120
And how many were issued concerning Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and the Biden family?
00:11:33.380
You were in a bank and they issued two in 10 years?
00:11:36.760
If you had two SARs, they're called SARs in the banking industry.
00:11:41.060
If you had two SARs against you, it would be hard for you to open an account somewhere.
00:11:45.940
There wouldn't be any bank that would want to have you as a customer because it's not worth the paperwork.
00:11:51.700
Remember, when the bank files one of these, you can understand this, appreciate this, Senator.
00:11:56.520
That's inviting the regulators to come in and regulate.
00:12:04.180
That means that somebody is getting a deposit in their account.
00:12:12.740
What is it that makes you say, we've got to file a SAR?
00:12:16.120
A large transaction that comes out of the blue.
00:12:21.880
I'll use the Robinson Walker account because that was the first bank account we submitted.
00:12:26.960
Rob Walker was one of the associates that they used to funnel money from China and Romania and then down and launder it down to the Biden.
00:12:39.080
So he's a guy that's doing business with Hunter and Joe Biden.
00:12:43.180
We don't know what that business is, but they got a $3 million wire from China.
00:12:50.700
Now, remember, we got the bank records for 10 years.
00:13:06.660
No, you don't have to work for $3 million, apparently.
00:13:09.020
So this account never had much activity in it over the course of 10 years, maintained around a $40,000 or $50,000 balance.
00:13:17.860
Then one day, out of the blue, they get a $3 million wire from China.
00:13:32.920
And there's $3 million in an account that's never had more than $50,000.
00:13:38.260
Some months, you know, it had $10,000 balance, but never more than $50,000.
00:13:44.360
And then what happens to that $3 million when it lands there?
00:13:46.580
24 hours later, because that's the minimum amount of time you can...
00:13:51.260
You have to have a deposit in the bank for at least $20,000.
00:14:12.180
Okay, 19 Pinocchios because you added 50 minutes to it.
00:14:17.560
Just after 24 hours, the next day, they start wiring incremental payments to different Biden
00:14:28.560
When you set up a bunch of shell companies for the sole purpose to launder money, that's
00:14:37.940
More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:14:42.220
And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:14:48.320
And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:14:52.080
Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of
00:14:57.520
So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:15:01.060
Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:15:06.520
Let me tell you about our good friends over at Patriot Mobile.
00:15:08.780
Well, if you've got a cell phone, and virtually everyone does now, how would you like to be
00:15:14.820
with a company that actually supports causes that you believe in with every single bill
00:15:22.340
That's exactly what Patriot Mobile, the only conservative Christian cell phone provider in
00:15:29.300
They take a portion of your bill every month when you pay your bill at no extra cost to
00:15:34.340
And they support causes, things like free speech and religious freedom.
00:15:38.940
They protect the unborn children and protect the sanctity of life.
00:15:43.080
They advocate and support the Second Amendment and our military, our veterans, our first responders.
00:15:51.440
Now, for years, big mobile companies have been dumping millions into leftist causes, including
00:15:58.480
If you don't want your money going there, then switch to Patriot Mobile.
00:16:02.540
They also give you great, dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks, so you
00:16:07.480
get the best possible service in your area without the woke propaganda pushed by
00:16:29.980
You'll get free activation and the best deals of the year.
00:16:33.000
Plus, you can keep your same cell phone number you have right now if you want to.
00:16:37.140
878-PATRIOT or PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.
00:16:41.720
I call these dumb questions, but they're important questions for people that understand
00:16:46.780
Look, one of the great things about this podcast, we try to ask lots of dumb questions.
00:16:52.040
And I'll tell you, James, actually, the sort of vision for this podcast, we launched it
00:16:58.940
We launched this podcast on the first night of the very first Donald Trump impeachment.
00:17:03.640
And that night, we started actually at midnight.
00:17:07.280
We're reliving our origins because I left the Senate floor from the trial of the Trump
00:17:12.920
And I went to a studio and we recorded VERDICT.
00:17:15.360
And I remember the first few times we did it, we'd get into things.
00:17:19.360
And our early production team, they said, OK, Ted, you're getting too complicated.
00:17:27.700
And I said, look, people don't want dumbed down.
00:17:34.000
And here's the analogy I've used a bunch of times.
00:17:37.420
If you have a terrible disease, you go into the doctor, you don't want the doctor to tell
00:17:44.020
Like, you want the doctor, if I got a problem, tell me what the heck's going on, doc.
00:17:48.140
But you don't want them to talk to you in a way that you need a medical degree and expertise.
00:17:54.080
So what we try to do, and what Ben is doing, asking dumb questions, is to say, OK, we keep
00:18:05.140
You hear a shell company, and like, what does that mean?
00:18:08.700
And explain the shell companies connecting to money laundering, how those two come together.
00:18:13.360
Because a lot of people, they hear this, but they don't understand why you need so many
00:18:16.800
of them, and why you would siphon money into multiple shell companies.
00:18:20.420
I come from the banking background, and that's a liability for me.
00:18:25.120
I mean, it has a double-edged sword, but a shell company is a fake company, OK?
00:18:34.000
They don't make anything, they don't produce anything, they don't provide a good or service.
00:18:40.100
It's just a corporate entity that's created on paper.
00:18:42.160
They could go to the Texas or Kentucky Secretary of State and file a company in two minutes
00:18:47.160
that says Cruz and Comer Energy Company, but that doesn't mean we have an energy company.
00:18:51.760
We just have an LLC, Limited Liability Company, that says we're an energy company.
00:19:23.340
So explain how you launder money and how that works.
00:19:28.380
You're hiding the source of the money and you're deceiving the Internal Revenue Service
00:19:36.960
So if Hunter Biden was doing something legitimate for China, they could have just wired the money
00:19:45.260
They sent it to a company called Robinson Walker.
00:19:52.640
Then they wired it to another company called Bohi something or another.
00:20:01.220
It's just like a bucket to pour the water in the port in another place or somewhere else.
00:20:13.940
So you're sitting there doing a congressional investigation.
00:20:16.700
If they're trying to hide it, presumably they make it hard to figure out.
00:20:22.820
20 shell companies, how do you figure this out and connect the dots?
00:20:27.940
Your colleagues, Grassley and Johnson, had done a report.
00:20:33.600
There were several good reporters that had been investigating on this for a long time.
00:20:41.680
And then when I became chairman and got subpoena power, then I was able to actually subpoena bank records.
00:20:51.900
It's getting harder because here's what happened.
00:20:55.240
Everyone on cable news, some people that I don't think are as smart a legal mind as you, Ted, were giving me lots of advice on what to do.
00:21:07.460
The first thing they need to do on day one is subpoena Hunter and Joe Biden.
00:21:10.880
I didn't do that, and I think that would have been a huge mistake.
00:21:18.180
If I had done that, it would have ended up in court.
00:21:21.560
Then if I had subpoenaed some of these bank accounts, the bank would have said,
00:21:25.320
we can't give that to you because there's ongoing litigation.
00:21:31.700
We started by subpoenaing bank records for shell accounts.
00:21:35.840
Some of these companies had been abandoned because they never were real companies.
00:21:40.680
They used them to hide the money they were getting from China and Romania and Ukraine.
00:21:47.780
Are those the three countries that are involved?
00:21:51.820
But all three of them, you've got payments from China, from Romania, and Ukraine going to Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, or the Biden family.
00:21:59.720
Not to Joe Biden yet, but to everyone else in the Biden family.
00:22:03.920
How many Bidens have you identified that have gotten money so far?
00:22:11.540
So I've heard the number nine, I've heard the number 12.
00:22:21.960
If I were on the crap stable, I would put odds behind three more members of the family.
00:22:45.180
And so I got to say, one of the things I've wondered, in fact, I was having dinner with
00:22:49.560
some folks tonight who asked me, they said, okay, Hunter's been indicted.
00:22:55.740
Well, Jim was the big dog of this entity before Hunter Biden came along, correct?
00:23:07.860
He's in court in about four or five different states being sued by former partners for fraud.
00:23:19.520
So we'll get to the point to where we'll start subpoenaing his bank records.
00:23:24.360
I think some of these cases, part of the reason we can't get it is because he's in litigation.
00:23:30.880
The nine or 12, you've got Hunter, you've got Jim and Frank.
00:23:44.380
And we believe that Jim's got family members, too, that may have received wires.
00:23:50.500
And then, you know, ultimately, with Joe, I suspect there are offshore accounts.
00:24:01.100
So what's the evidence of offshore accounts that you learned today?
00:24:04.340
There are the IRS whistleblowers confirmed when I asked if they had documents pertaining to foreign accounts.
00:24:16.280
They have to go through that process and turn it over to the Ways and Means Committee.
00:24:22.220
So the $3 million that you saw transferred in, you said that got transferred out.
00:24:33.220
I mean, that's a good business partnership, right?
00:25:00.200
And then the Biden's got $1.3 million of the $3 million.
00:25:03.220
And $1.3 million to different Biden family members.
00:25:08.720
That particular transaction went to four different Biden family members.
00:25:20.520
Those were suspicious activity reports that were created by Joe or Hunter Biden.
00:25:26.540
Then they were the subject of another hundred suspicious activity reports.
00:25:34.920
So if you're the Treasury Department, because Treasury is getting these SARs.
00:25:42.520
They're supposed to turn it over to the IRS investigators, which they knew about the SAR.
00:25:49.820
Somehow, the IRS whistleblowers knew about the suspicious activity report.
00:25:54.540
I ask these questions because this is complicated for a lot of people.
00:26:02.880
Walk what normal is compared to what actually happened with them.
00:26:09.600
And here's what the suspicious activity report said.
00:26:12.540
I've had access and I've read them all at Treasury.
00:26:16.080
They said they suspected they were money laundering.
00:26:29.860
These are serious banks with real lawyers that like know what they were.
00:26:33.960
They said this is a politically exposed person.
00:26:36.700
They suspected some of these wires were coming from state-owned entities.
00:26:43.300
Okay, so you're going to have to explain that, what that means.
00:26:44.860
You mean like the communist government is sending the money.
00:26:50.100
And the whistleblower in that scenario is the bank who's saying that.
00:26:59.840
Like all of those banks, J.P. Morgan, their CEO, Jamie Dimon, is a prominent Democrat.
00:27:11.560
So these are all banks that are reliable political donors to the Democrats that are nonetheless
00:27:17.820
looking at reports saying, wow, this is really concerning.
00:27:24.680
You've seen a lot more of this stuff in the legal world than I have.
00:27:27.760
But I'm generally in shock right now, the fact that you're telling me that an American
00:27:31.220
bank is writing that we believe a wire transfer coming into the Biden family is coming from
00:27:36.060
the Chinese communist government, not an entity.
00:27:39.940
And we're saying it's money laundering on top of it coming from the Chinese communist
00:27:59.580
When did they open the investigation to Hunter Biden?
00:28:14.960
Now, this investigation, look, it's been at least five years.
00:28:36.380
attorney Wolf in Delaware, oh, the optics are bad.
00:28:52.840
So a number of the potential offenses that Hunter Biden committed, the statute of limitations
00:28:59.220
The most serious tax crimes he's committed, statute of limitations is run on.
00:29:10.100
And then once he became president, they're like, well, we don't need to do this.
00:29:16.400
They knew that Hunter Biden committed a bunch of crimes.
00:29:20.660
They felt like all roads were leading to Joe Biden.
00:29:24.980
And that's what was making the Department of Justice nervous because they...
00:29:30.900
They didn't feel they were that concerned about Hunter Biden.
00:29:33.940
It's just they were worried, okay, what's he doing to get this money?
00:29:42.280
And good God, he's the president of the United States now.
00:29:48.620
It sounds normal in the legal world, but I think it's important that we explain this.
00:29:51.720
When you have a five-year window, as it's described, right?
00:29:54.240
You've got five years on some of these crimes that you should...
00:29:56.740
You have five years to basically charge someone for that crime.
00:29:58.940
Once you're outside that five years, you cannot charge them for that crime, even if you know they committed the crime.
00:30:07.340
And look, a statute of limitations is really important.
00:30:09.740
You know, if you were in high school and you knocked off a liquor store, I'm not saying you did.
00:30:20.280
But even if you did, there's a statute of limitations.
00:30:23.980
The idea is you shouldn't have to face the possibility for criminal prosecution five, 10, 20 years after something happened.
00:30:31.540
Because if someone charged you with something you did 20 years ago...
00:30:35.180
And by the way, it's more than 20 years ago you were in high school.
00:30:41.020
But look, if someone charged you, how would you defend yourself?
00:30:44.620
Like, you don't have any evidence for 20 years.
00:30:46.620
Part of the reason of a statute of limitations is that it's impossible to defend yourself from something so long ago.
00:30:53.920
So the idea is if you commit a crime, there's a period of time for which you're liable.
00:30:58.420
But it also means if you get past the statute of limitations, you can't prosecute.
00:31:04.840
And prosecutors know the statute of limitations.
00:31:15.840
So the most important thing that I heard James say is that the investigation all understood that the real focus of the criminality was Joe Biden.
00:31:30.640
And that the Department of Justice blocked them, interfered, obstructed with their going after Joe Biden.
00:31:41.280
If you want to hear more about that, this is a two-part series.
00:31:46.580
Tomorrow, we're going to do the second half, which is Joe Biden's direct criminal liability and how the Department of Justice obstructed justice, covered it up, blocked the investigation.
00:32:00.400
And make sure that you share this because this is why we're doing this.
00:32:07.700
If you're listening to the podcast, share that as well so that everybody knows what's going on.
00:32:22.140
Has anyone explained what a suspicious activity report is?
00:32:25.880
Has anyone explained how strange it is that there are 170 of them?
00:32:29.080
This podcast exists to give you the facts that you can't get watching TV news.
00:32:39.800
So share this, like it, get others to watch it, and watch part two that's coming out tomorrow.
00:32:48.140
