Allow Hunter to give his opening statement first. | |
Well, uh, it doesn't appear Mr. Biden showed up for his public hearing, so we'll recognize you, Mr. Bobulinski. | ||
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. | ||
Biden gave his transcribed interview on February 28th and lied throughout his testimony. | ||
Here's just one egregious example of Hunter's perjury. | ||
He lied to the committee on important details concerning his money demands and threats to CFC in text messages on July 30th and 31st, 2017. | ||
He leveraged his father's presence next to him in that infamous text to strong-arm CFC to paying Hunter immediately. | ||
Jim Biden also lied extensively throughout his transcribed interview on February 21st and perjured himself. | ||
An example of that, on page 100 of his transcript, Jim is asked specifically, do you recall having a meeting with Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, and Joe Biden? | ||
Jim's response, absolutely not. | ||
The committee was so shocked by his perjury that they asked him the same question multiple times, each time he denied meeting with me and Joe Biden. | ||
After the committee showed him text messages confirming that I met with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Jim Biden at the Beverly Hilton in May 2017, Jim Biden, with a former U.S. | ||
attorney lawyer sitting next to him, still denied that meeting took place. | ||
Hunter Biden, in his own transcribed interview, confirmed that that meeting took place. | ||
Hunter confirmed his uncle perjured himself in front of this committee. | ||
I'm simply here to tell the truth to the American people. | ||
I challenge Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. | ||
Prior to my successful business career, I was an officer in the United States Navy. | ||
At Navy's Elite Naval Nuclear Power Training Command. | ||
I later served as the Chief's, uh, the Command's Chief Technology Officer. | ||
Please proceed. | ||
I apologize for the disruption from the... Okay. | ||
Am I supposed to say it's my time, Mr. Raskin? | ||
Yeah. | ||
But please, Mr. Boblinsky, please... Okay. | ||
Come to order. | ||
Mr. Bobulitsky, Mr. Bobulitsky, please proceed. | ||
Please proceed. | ||
I apologize for the disruption from the minority. | ||
Okay. | ||
Well, Mr. Chairman, save his time, but he called members of this committee liars, and I just want to know whether the order and decorum requirements of House Rule 11 apply to witnesses appearing before the committee. | ||
Does it apply or does it not? | ||
unidentified
|
Should I address? I don't... | |
. | ||
. | ||
Thank you. | ||
There's decorum from the members. | ||
We've asked for that. | ||
There's no language that I'm aware of pertaining to a witness. | ||
Thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Don't make sure we didn't waste any of his time on the opening statement. | |
Mr. Bobuliski, I'm sorry for the disruption. | ||
Please continue your opening statement. | ||
I think you, Mr. Raskin... We'll make sure it's right. | ||
Okay, great. | ||
I just want to... | ||
Restate, uh, make sure the American people hear all these facts. | ||
Abby Lowell weaponizes 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. | ||
I challenge Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. | ||
Mr. Parnas, how much time did you spend in prison? | ||
Four months. | ||
But you were indicted for crimes that could have resulted in you spending 50 years in prison, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Right, they were false crimes. | |
The judge saw through them. | ||
Well, you went to trial and you were convicted, right? | ||
unidentified
|
I went to trial, correct. | |
And 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. | ||
Is that about right? | ||
unidentified
|
That's what the crime was. | |
That's what the indictment was. | ||
Right, so it sounds like everyone here today, the only one working for a Russian oligarch was you. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
I mean, I just heard you wax... It's public information, Congressman Gates. | ||
I got paid $200,000. | ||
You know how much I got paid. | ||
You were really worried about our democracy, and you were here to warn us, but you were working for a Russian oligarch, wanting to get marijuana licenses, but then you didn't even do it. | ||
The fraud you committed against the Russian oligarch was that instead you spent the money on yourself. | ||
So, like, was that what you were doing? | ||
The fight against Russia's aggression? | ||
Just taking their money? | ||
Well, that's what you were convicted of. | ||
But instead of spending 50 years in prison, you got four months. | ||
As 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. | ||
unidentified
|
The DOJ didn't listen to the truth, because if they would listen to the truth, you guys would have been all in jail. | |
They didn't want to hear the truth. | ||
You can't handle it, Matt Gaetz. | ||
Look, 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. | ||
unidentified
|
You should know better than anybody what DOJ is about. | |
Gentlemen, time's expired. | ||
You should know better than anybody. | ||
Gentlemen, time's expired. | ||
Is Joe Biden lying when he says he did not interact with Hunter Biden, Jim Biden? | ||
Their business partners are forward interests. | ||
Yes or no? | ||
Yes. | ||
Mr. Galanis? | ||
Yes. | ||
A spectacle and 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? | ||
All of this comes at a price, not just to our politics, but to the very essence of our democracy. | ||
Well, yes, but I do have to say that what happened today was truly amazing, even by our standards. | ||
I mean, it is one thing to say that this thing is falling apart, but that actually understates how horrifically bad this is. | ||
I mean, this was dumb and dumber. | ||
Lev Parnas 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. | ||
If 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. | ||
I 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. | ||
We're a few days away from a shutdown, and yet we have this incredibly inept circus going on. | ||
And so it is a circus. | ||
We've talked about that before. | ||
But the ineptness, the absurdity was just on display. | ||
I mean, I just urge people go go watch a YouTube video of this testimony. | ||
Watch the way in which the Republican members of this committee were humiliated, how they are flailing here. | ||
And again, this is not going to get any any better. | ||
The criminal referral It's kind of the Hail Mary pass. | ||
It's a way of saying that we're doing something. | ||
Doesn't mean that it's not dangerous. | ||
A clown with a flamethrower still has a flamethrower. | ||
But this was a very bad day after many, many bad days for this committee. | ||
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
Pray for our enemies. | ||
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on this, people. | |
President Trump got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
It's going to happen. | ||
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
unidentified
|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved! | ||
Okay, it's Wednesday, 20 March, Year of Our Lord 2024. | ||
I don't even know how to go through this today, so we're going to try to figure it out. | ||
What the purpose of this committee is, and the seriousness of which they're supposed to be going forward, is the impeachment of Joe Biden. | ||
Was Trump not impeached twice by this click? | ||
Was he not impeached twice? | ||
The greatest president of modern times? | ||
And 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? | ||
Are you kidding me? | ||
You know why? | ||
Here's the difference. | ||
The Democrats know how to play Smash Mouth. | ||
They're legislative terrorists, they are terrorists inside the halls of Congress, but they're effective like oftentimes terrorists are. | ||
Today you saw absolute smash mouth and you saw disorganization and, you know, let's be blunt. | ||
It's just too big for Comer. | ||
I 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. | ||
He's going to do that. | ||
You've got to roll hard and it's got to be tight. | ||
People have to be out of the same playbook. | ||
And then you've got to rule that with an iron hand. | ||
You've got to cut them off. | ||
You just can't let them go. | ||
You get boom, cut the thing off, bang the gavel, do what the Democrats do. | ||
The Democrats play smash mouth. | ||
They play to win. | ||
I don't know what this is. | ||
Let's pull back. | ||
The crimes of Joe Biden are legion. | ||
The Ukraine thing, I'm not an expert on. | ||
I'm the first to admit that. | ||
There's terrible stuff that went on. | ||
Biden 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. | ||
Nancy Mace, MTG, I think Lauren Boebert have all been over to Treasury and seen the files of what they have said and asserted is trafficking on women for money. | ||
So that's all, you know, out there. | ||
But 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. | ||
It's not a question. | ||
You have to present the information. | ||
You have to present it in a coherent way. | ||
And you can't let these guys sit there and just disrupt the hearing and bulldoze you. | ||
Did the Republicans do that on either of Trump's impeachments? | ||
No. | ||
Number one, there's not that many had that much guts. | ||
Number two, Pelosi and these people, they boom, shut it down. | ||
The British call it a close run thing. | ||
We need somebody up there and maybe they turn it over to Gates. | ||
Why 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. | ||
Why is it? | ||
And Gates, they're trying to run out of Congress. | ||
McCarthy equals fecklessness. | ||
McCarthy equals weakness. | ||
McCarthy equals controlled opposition. | ||
In fact, he's not even controlled opposition. | ||
He's part of the Uniparty, a leading member. | ||
And the people you see around him, his team, today was, and we're going to play more clips from it, the 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. | ||
Just blown off a subpoena on something that is actually a committee of Congress because guess why? | ||
You have a ranking member and you have minority council. | ||
That's where they can cross-examine. | ||
That's where they even get the privilege of jumping in there and trying to cut things off. | ||
So we're going to play more clips of this, but the information that's out there in the Biden crime family, and now they're going to come up with, well, it's so late. | ||
It's an election year. | ||
It's an election year. | ||
This is exactly the same whiny that Polly Pockets Johnson is going to use this week. | ||
It's so late. | ||
You know, we're already six months into the year. | ||
It's an election year. | ||
Well, hey, The issues are on our side. | ||
Making an election, then impeach him in an election. | ||
You shut down a government in an election. | ||
Your American people understand it. | ||
They don't want this madness just to continue. | ||
These are issues that we can win on. | ||
If you have the stones to go out and make the case. | ||
But you have to have some intestinal fortitude. | ||
You have to have courage. | ||
You have to have brains. | ||
You have to be smart and tough and relentless. | ||
Look at the courage of Navarro. | ||
He's in prison. | ||
You think any of these guys would go to prison? | ||
They'd wet themselves first. | ||
It's a disgrace and disgusting. | ||
And all they're going to play is all the clips where you're getting braced up. | ||
Fire back. | ||
Fire back. | ||
Biden sold his country out for cash money. | ||
A poll out today, 40% of the American people. | ||
And I take a little personal pride in this. | ||
40% of the American people now think China's the number one existential threat to this nation. | ||
Those numbers were not there years ago, folks. | ||
We started hammering this at Breitbart, started hammering it in my films and started really hammering it in the White House, President Trump, and then on War Room. | ||
They're the number one enemy and Biden took cash money from them. | ||
Biden is in business with them. | ||
Everything Biden does in relation to them has to be in the context of the money. | ||
The American people have to have this adjudicated in front of them. | ||
Not let it deteriorate into a brawl because the Democrats are going to do that. | ||
You have to understand that before you walk in there. | ||
Jamie Raskin, Goldman, AOC. | ||
There's a whole raft of them. | ||
They don't care about the Constitution. | ||
They don't care about decorum. | ||
They care about winning. | ||
They care about winning the day. | ||
And you just have too many soft people. | ||
Soft people. | ||
They're prepared to be pushed around. | ||
Our audience wants to know when you're going to start doing the pushing. | ||
When are you going to start dominating the conversation? | ||
When are you going to enforce your will upon these situations? | ||
Short break. | ||
More of this fiasco after a short commercial break. | ||
To the money flow, because this is where the rubber meets the road. | ||
On August 3rd, they actually stipulate through WhatsApp text messages the exact stipulations of the deal. | ||
On August 4th, $100,000 is wired into a Wasco PC from CEFC infrastructure. | ||
Mr. Chairman, I want to submit for the record a portion of the bank statement for the time period August 3rd of 2017 to August 31, 2017. | ||
Stipulating $100,000 going from CEFC into the bank account of Hunter Biden through Owasco PC. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection to order. | |
On August 8th, four days later, $5 million is then transferred from the Northern International Capital Account of $5 million to Hudson West III. | ||
Hudson West III is a bank account controlled by Hunter Biden and Mr. Gon Wing, aka Kevin Dong, who is a CEFC associate. That money comes from a Northern International Capital Bank account, a bank account that is tied to the CCP. Mr. | ||
Chairman, I want to submit for the record the bank statement demonstrating that transfer. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection, so ordered. | |
Okay, moving on. | ||
On August 8th, the same time period, there is a wire transfer of $400,000 to a Wasco PC from the Hudson West III bank account. | ||
That $400,000, Mr. Chairman, I have the transfer records in the bank accounts from the August time period. | ||
I want to submit that for the record. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection to order. | |
Now, 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. | ||
On August 14th, There is $150,000 that is transferred from a Wasco PC, which is controlled by Hunter Biden, to Lion Hall Group, which is controlled by James Biden. | ||
I have the records here, Mr. Chairman, of the $150,000 that has gone to Lion Hall Group from a Wasco PC. | ||
I want to submit that for the record. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection, it's ordered. | |
On August 28th, and I believe we have a screenshot for everybody in the room, on 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. | ||
I want to submit that withdrawal receipt for the record. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection to order. | |
On 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. | ||
I want to submit that objection to order. | ||
Last document. | ||
On 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. | ||
A loan repayment, by the way, that Joe Biden's own personal accountant, Mr. Eric Schwerin, has no record for. | ||
I want to submit that for the record, Mr. Chairman. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection, so ordered. | |
To 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. | ||
With that, I yield. | ||
That's Byron Donalds right there. | ||
That's the way it's supposed to be done. | ||
You run it and you run it hard. | ||
That's called a close run thing right there. | ||
That's Byron Donalds, who today got amazing points in the war room scoreboard for not letting people interrupt him, not letting anybody, you know, get in his way. | ||
And he just walked through. | ||
Those are called the receipts. | ||
Now, this fiasco is about to pick back up. | ||
I think the Republicans, they had a recess. | ||
They're regrouping. | ||
Let's go live right now and we'll catch what's going on. | ||

|
of the House Education Committee, Ms. | |
Fox from North Carolina. | ||
Dr. Fox. | ||
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank my colleagues for what you have been doing here today unraveling these issues. | ||
Mr. 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. | ||
Is 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? | ||
Yes, that's correct. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Why was the CCP Connected Harvest Fund Management interested in doing business with you and your partners, Hunter Biden and Devin Archer? | ||
The only plausible reason, and the reason we even discussed this, was because of the access that it provided. | ||
There was a quote that was attributed to Henry Zala, the chairman, that talked about the access that it provided. | ||
So, there's documentation that was contemporaneous that said what their interest was, and that interest was political access. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Is it correct that Harvest Fund Management believed that Joe Biden would take a seat on that company's board after his vice presidency ended? | ||
Yes, that's correct. | ||
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. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Are you aware of Hunter Biden ever speaking to his father, Joe Biden, about the plan to have him join the board of Harvest Fund Management? | ||
Yes, I witnessed that, yes. | ||
It 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. | ||
Mr. Bobulinski, is it true that former Vice President Joe Biden met with Li Jingming, the chairman of CEFC China Energy? | ||
It is, based on Rob Walker saying yes to that in a transcribed interview. | ||
I personally was not at that meeting. | ||
When did this meeting take place, based on what Mr. Walker said? | ||
In my understanding, it would have been February 2017. | ||
After they had a meeting in Miami, I believe James Gilear got on the corporate jet of CFC and flew with Yi Jianming and Director Zhang to D.C. | ||
in preparation for that meeting. | ||
After this meeting with former Vice President Joe Biden and Chairman Yee, were any payments made to the Biden family or associates? | ||
Yes, well it gets to that point of obfuscation. | ||
$3 million was wired to Rob Walker's account on March 1st. | ||
Actually, they sent two wires. | ||
The first wire got kicked back. | ||
and then they sent a second wire on March 1st, 2017 to Robinson Walker, LLC. | ||
Thank you. | ||
And then as your committees walked through today, they parsed that out to the Biden family in numerous different payments. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Mr. Chairman, it is clear that Joe Biden is the common element in all of Hunter Biden's attempts to do business with China. | ||
There's a pattern emerging that the Biden family and associates, including Joe Biden himself, deliberately chose personal gain over the safety and best interests of the very Americans Joe Biden was elected to serve, protect, and defend. | ||
With that, I'll yield the balance of my time to Mr. Gates. | ||
Hunter Biden's deposition. | ||
Question. | ||
Do you think some of your business associates we've spoken about today, Mr. Archer, Mr. Bobulinski, Mr. Galanis, do you think they had an expectation that your dad had any role or involvement in any of your joint business dealings? | ||
Answer from Hunter Biden. | ||
Not an expectation from me. | ||
There was never a single time I can remember saying, Hey, we'll get my dad involved. | ||
Hey, let's get my dad on the phone. | ||
Hey, let's, you know, what can we get out of dad for this? | ||
Mr. Golanis, what's your reaction to that testimony from Hunter Biden in light of you describing the Biden lift? | ||
unidentified
|
I think it's patently false. | |
It's belied by emails and I think that there's documentation that says that's just an untruthful statement. | ||
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 and they're out enjoying Southern California and you're sitting in a prison cell and they've got the ability to come and give this false testimony to Congress. | ||
Is it your belief that the Biden Justice Department retaliates against people who speak out against the Bidens and their crimes? | ||
unidentified
|
I'm living that. | |
I think, to clarify, I took responsibility for my crimes. | ||
I've pleaded guilty. | ||
I've served eight years of clean conduct, and I think I've rehabilitated myself quite a bit in that period of time, and evidence to track record. | ||
But I would say that there is unquestionably a pattern of two tiers of justice, and that's become a popularized term, and it's something of a lived experience that I've gone through. | ||
You'll back. | ||
unidentified
|
Before I recognize Mr. Waltz, for what purpose does Mr. Big seek recognition? | |
I want to include an article in a record. | ||
The article's entitled, Tlaib Renouser, quote, impeached the MFR, close quote, call against Trump. | ||
Without objection, so ordered. | ||
For what purposes, Mr. Gates? | ||
Seek recognition. | ||
Mr. Chairman, I seek unanimous consent to enter into the record the press release from the Department of Justice left Parnas sentenced to 20 months in prison for campaign finance, wire fraud, and false statement offenses. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection, so ordered. | |
Chair now recognizes Mr. Waltz from Florida. | ||
Thank you Mr. Chairman and I find it incredibly rich Mr. Swalwell is going to come to this committee and lecture us about How China penetrates our government. | ||
I think that's something he may know a thing or two about. | ||
But let's talk about how China has penetrated the highest levels of this government, including this president and this White House, because I think the visual is incredibly important. | ||
Mr. Bobulensky, Hunter Biden portrayed Chairman Yee, the chairman of CEFC, to Jim Biden as a protégé of Xi. | ||
Is that accurate? | ||
unidentified
|
Not only is it accurate, and it wasn't just Hunter Biden, it was James Gilear, Rob Walker. | |
I wouldn't have used the word protege, they just basically, you know... You don't run China's largest state-owned energy company without being close to Chairman Ye. | ||
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
Right, fair enough. | ||
And by the mid-2000s, Chairman Ye ran a business empire estimated, as much as you can estimate, a Chinese state-owned enterprise. | ||
A hundred percent. | ||
So, CFC was effectively the shadow arm of the Chinese government deploying tens of billions of dollars around the world, very well documented. | ||
here, including implementing China's Belt and Road Initiative, not just all over the world, right here in the United States. Is that accurate? | ||
100 percent. So, CFC was effectively the shadow arm of the Chinese government deploying tens of billions of dollars around the world, very well documented. At its peak, I think it was doing $50 billion of revenue per year, one of the top five largest… Debt 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. | ||
I mean, that's how the Belt and Road Initiative works. | ||
Heck, 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. | ||
So by the by the mid, what, 2015-2016, Hunter Biden's developed a very lucrative business relationship. | ||
By 2017, Hunter Biden's forged such a partnership with Chairman Ye 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? | ||
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
So here's what's interesting and building on Chairman Fox's questions. | ||
Within days of him leaving the vice presidency, ostensibly for work performed, three million dollars flows through these shell companies that we've depicted here. | ||
I 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. | ||
And the kicker here, Mr. Chairman, is that we know Hunter is then complaining about paying all his dad's bills. | ||
He'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? | ||
unidentified
|
Correct, and it's important for the American people to understand. | |
The $3 million was $3 of $20 million that the Bidens expected to be paid for the work in 2015 and 2016. | ||
And that's not just my word, that is documented. | ||
That's all documented. | ||
Bank records, text messages, emails. | ||
Bob Menendez's wife can't get paid by the Egyptians and then provide that money over to pay Gobar Bob's, Senator Menendez's bills. | ||
I can't have my daughter get paid by, I don't know, Kazakhstan, Russia, and China and then pay my bills. | ||
And we know also that they had co-mingled funds with the Vice President of the United States. | ||
When we talk about crimes, let's talk about the crimes. | ||
We know he perjured himself. | ||
That's a crime. | ||
We know he was acting as a foreign agent. | ||
And was he registered under FARA? | ||
Was he registered as a foreign agent? | ||
unidentified
|
Not that I'm aware of. | |
Was his dad complicit in him acting as a foreign agent through meetings and dinners and what have you? | ||
That's crime. | ||
unidentified
|
100%. | |
That's crime number two. | ||
He was clearly acting in that capacity. | ||
We have the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. | ||
And we already have them thanks to the work of this committee for tax evasion. | ||
So, Mr. Chairman, there are multiple crimes. | ||
That this committee has established ample evidence. | ||
We must move to impeachment. | ||
We cannot allow this to stand. | ||
And I look forward to seeing those references to the Department of Justices. | ||
For this alone, this is a critical national security issue. | ||
The Chinese Communist Party call it the princelings. | ||
They don't go after the principal they want to influence. | ||
They go through the sun. | ||
And it is right out of their playbook. | ||
And they've done it at the highest levels of the United States government. | ||
I yield my time. | ||
unidentified
|
Very good. | |
Mr. Chairman, I just have a couple of UC requests, if that's all right. | ||
One is from Devin Archer's transcribed interview testifying that Joe Biden had nothing to do with any of Devin Archer's business ventures with Hunter. | ||
The declassified intelligence community assessment from the National Intelligence Council, March 2021, detailing efforts by Russian actors to interfere in the 2020 U.S. | ||
elections. | ||
And finally, most importantly, the U.S. | ||
District Court decision from the Southern District of New York in United States versus Galanis, where Mr. Galanis was described as a con artist who wanted to be in business with Hunter Biden, but never was. | ||
And how they thought that they could add layers of legitimacy to their con operation. | ||
If I could have those introduced. | ||
unidentified
|
Without objection, so ordered. | |
Now the chair recognizes Mr. Gates from Florida. | ||
You're a serious business person, Mr. Bobulinski, right? | ||
I am. | ||
Unlike the convicted felon next to you, you've served in the military. | ||
Right? | ||
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
You've done big deals. | ||
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
Complicated deals. | ||
Deals that involved foreign businesses. | ||
Right? | ||
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
And so what I'm trying to figure out is when you came to realize that you showed up at the wrong party. | ||
Because you kind of strike me as the guy who showed up to do a legitimate business deal and you ended up instead at a bribe. | ||
And so as you're looking at CEFC, as you're having this meeting with Joe Biden, as Hunter Biden is introducing you to his web of contacts, when did you go from serious businessman Tony Bobulinski working to make a buck in a capitalist system to a guy worried that you had been unwittingly ensnared into Hunter and Joe Biden's bribe operation with the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
unidentified
|
I appreciate the question. | |
It wasn't an aha moment. | ||
It was more of a process. | ||
I am a serious businessman, demonstrated by the different deals I've done around the world and the success of them. | ||
But it started... Remember, the Biden family wasn't my entry into this. | ||
James Gilliar, who I'd known for over 10 years, who traveled the world doing business, kept trying to get me involved. | ||
I really had no interest. | ||
No interest. | ||
I got... I sat down in the spring of 2017 to walk through things, and then I quickly put together Two businesses, Sinohawk and Oneida. | ||
After the meetings in Los Angeles with Hunter and Joe Biden, It started to, sort of, bells and whistles started to go off when Jim Biden used the term plausible deniability. | ||
Plausible deniability is the first moment, straight from the lips of Jim Biden, right on the heels of your discussion with Joe Biden, where you start to think, this might not be legit. | ||
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
And my lawyers at the time could attest to that because I reached out to them saying, listen, I'm a former naval officer, I held a Q security clearance, I couldn't collect, somebody couldn't take me to dinner for $50, This just does not make sense to me. | ||
But you proceed. | ||
But you proceed, and then later this thing starts to get a lot uglier. | ||
What's the moment you go from, okay, your spidey senses are up, you're analyzing this, to now you know this is a crime that you are bearing witness to? | ||
unidentified
|
The end of July, when the Biden family put them right front and center in the middle of a $9 billion transaction between the Russian state-owned energy company Rosneft and CFC, a surrogate for the Chinese Communist Party. | |
And was there ever a time in the deals you were involved in where you started to see the money move around the legitimate business enterprise and toward the pockets of the Bidens? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, the challenge, Mr. Gates, with that is at the time, they moved the money, right? | |
You guys have the text messages where Hunter Biden shook down Director Zhang, but I was not aware of that. | ||
I spent a year asking questions of This doesn't make sense to me. | ||
Where's the money? | ||
I stepped in and had lawyers work to dissolve the two entities. | ||
I didn't know until years later that they had defrauded me, they had gotten paid all this money, and all this craziness. | ||
It just seems pretty simple. | ||
This is either a bribe or a business. | ||
unidentified
|
It was a bribe from the Chinese Communist Party. | |
And I don't say that lightly. | ||
There's 1,200 pages, 8 days of testimony in the Southern District of New York. | ||
I encourage everyone watching me, hearing me say this. | ||
They're publicly available. | ||
Go read them. | ||
Our Department of Justice outlines in intimate detail the corruption and bribes that CFC was deploying to political officials all over the world. | ||
So I'm here to believe that they did this in every other country, but with the Biden family, it was pristine. | ||
It was an actual clean business. | ||
That's absurd. | ||
And you came to know that, and that's when you blew the whistle, right? | ||
That's when you started to get worried, when you saw Joe Biden... I stepped away from it. | ||
unidentified
|
The whistleblowers, I can't give them kudos enough for the bravery and the risk they put their family in. | |
They publish stuff where I am voicing the concern of the Rosneft deal. | ||
And you animated your concerns when you saw that this wasn't just a corrupt bribe, a corrupt business deal happening to a guy who used to be vice president. | ||
When you see that Joe... Everyone's made a big deal like you're a bad guy that you showed up at the debate, or you're trying to give life to these facts that you've observed, that it's so bad that you did that during a political contest. | ||
But observing this, it kind of seems like it would be unpatriotic for you to stay quiet. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
And so, I mean, Joe Biden running for president clearly motivated the Chinese to consummate this bribe. | ||
Did it also motivate you? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I didn't want to go public. | |
I wanted to simply unload all the facts, personal experiences. | ||
It's funny, there's 18 People on this committee with law degrees, including, I think, Mr. Swalwell. | ||
Evidence, first-hand testimony, is the most powerful evidence you have. | ||
I've given it, Mr. Galanis has given it, along with a whole host of other witnesses. | ||
Then, on top of that, I have thousands of documents and pages of legals and stuff like that. | ||
I wanted to simply give this information. | ||
No one questioned any of your facts. | ||
No one brought a single piece of evidence that even for a moment discredited any of the truthful testimony that you've given us. | ||
unidentified
|
Gentlemen yields back. | |
That concludes our questioning. | ||
Again want to thank the witnesses. | ||
We are going to close now and I will yield to the ranking member for a brief closing statement. | ||
Great and I'll take an extra 32 seconds as Mr. Gates did. | ||
Well, and while we're on, Mr. Gates, he seemed to be upset about a couple different things. | ||
One was fraud, which was fascinating to me, given that his hero, Donald Trump, has just been convicted civilly of bank and insurance fraud in New York in a civil case, and now owes, I think it's $454 million, unless that's gone up with interest. | ||
I think he's having a hard time making that, but I'm sure that Mr. Gates's constituents will help him out as they're shaking down Republican voters. | ||
You can pay either for Donald Trump's criminal lawyers or his civil lawyers. | ||
That's the big political choice, I suppose. | ||
He's also upset about China. | ||
Well, if you check out the Democrats' report, White House for Sale, how princes, prime ministers and premiers paid off President Trump. | ||
You'll find that China actually gave more than $5 million to Donald Trump while he was President of the United States in direct violation of the Emoluments Clause, which says that nobody in federal office shall accept a present, an emolument, which means a payment, an office or title of any kind, whatever, from a king, a prince, or a foreign state. | ||
And we spent the day, again, jawboning about Hunter Biden, who has never held public office, and he's never done business with a government. | ||
And yet, we have right in front of us, in front of our very eyes, mammoth corruption, unprecedented U.S. | ||
history by Donald Trump as president, and my friends don't say a single word about it. | ||
But he wants to lecture Mr. Parnas about the illegal donations he made on behalf of pro-Trump super PACs. | ||
I've noticed something interesting with the people who have finally disenthralled themselves and gotten out of the Trump cult, as Mr. Parnas puts it. | ||
People like Michael Cohen, Sarah Matthews, Cassidy Hutchinson, Alyssa Griffin. | ||
There's articles about them. | ||
This is what you're up against. | ||
That's a little Jamie Raskin right there. | ||
He's going to go on and on. | ||
He's supposed to have a short closing statement. | ||
Of course he's going to stand up and throw up everything on the wall. | ||
Thank God we got this a little bit back on track when they came back for, I guess, 20 minutes or 30 minutes. | ||
But this is after you have to fight them. | ||
Look at Raskin's relentless. | ||
He's going to throw everything up there. | ||
They'll lie. | ||
These people will lie. | ||
They will cheat. | ||
They will steal. | ||
They stole the 2020 election. | ||
You want to know why I'm so adamant about it? | ||
Because you think we're just going to roll into 2024 and they're just going to sit there and go, Oh, Trump got more votes. | ||
Trump got more votes in the African-American community. | ||
Trump got more votes of Hispanic men. | ||
Trump got more votes of Asian-Americans. | ||
You think that's just going to happen? | ||
They're going to sit there. | ||
Oh, Trump got more votes. | ||
We're big believers in democracy. | ||
So Trump won. | ||
Do you honestly believe that? | ||
Do you think that will happen? | ||
Joe Biden and his family are a bunch of low-life scum, okay? | ||
Low-life scum. | ||
The daughter, from her diaries, okay, from her diaries, and Hunter Biden, that he documented in the laptop from hell with thousands of videos, photographs, you know, text messages, emails, is they were raised by, they're like a pack of feral dogs. | ||
That's what that family's like. | ||
And they took money directly from the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
It's not a company affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
It's that CEFC is the capital markets allocator. | ||
It's like the capital markets desk of One Belt, One Road. | ||
Tony Bobulinski finally got to it. | ||
It's the capital markets allocator, not just energy for everything, including here in the United States where they're going to be passing big bribes. | ||
But they've already done it all over the world. | ||
Kind of the British East India Company in reverse. | ||
Where they give, they go and bribe the elites, give these massive loans for these infrastructure projects that are supposed to tie everything together, like she said on that speech she gave to the World Economic Forum two days, 48 hours before President Trump's 2017 inaugural address. | ||
Where the Financial Times and The Economist and Davos, man, they're all cheering. | ||
Systems of networks. | ||
Not countries, just a system. | ||
A system of networks. | ||
That all heads back for final manufacturing to China with their natural resources and the component parts. | ||
And then China sends it back to markets and everybody makes out, including the elites. | ||
That's what this is about. | ||
This is no different than the other countries in the world. | ||
They bribed and they bribed, they bribed Biden and they started getting to him. | ||
He talks about flying 17th. | ||
He circumnavigated the globe. | ||
According to his fantasy was Xi. | ||
This is just basic corruption. | ||
Because he sells out his country. | ||
Remember, West End Associates, Blinken and those guys all had the little road that separates the old State Department, which is the executive office building, from the West Wing, from the White House. | ||
They named it after that, Blinken and his associates. | ||
And who was their biggest client? | ||
The CCP and companies directly owned by the CCP. | ||
Why? | ||
To give high-level access. | ||
They're buying access. | ||
And of course you're going to get Raskin up there, you're going to get Goldman up there, you're going to get AFC up there. | ||
These people, they can't win on the fact, just like Biden's campaign today, they can't win. | ||
We have an issue set of an invasion of our country, a financial situation that's out of control, and the beginning of a third world, a kinetic third world war on the rim of the Eurasian landmass, kind of Mackinder-Speakman 101. | ||
Those facts they never want to address, they want to throw up everything else, and if you're going to let them throw it up, they're going to go, they're going to roll, they got nothing else, so why not? | ||
Look at little Jamie Raskin, he'll give a speech and that'll be clipped and played everywhere tonight. | ||
That's why you need more Byron Donalds and more Matt Gaetzes that won't back down and won't put up with the nonsense. | ||
Of course, they're attacked relentlessly. | ||
This is, this is, you're, you're fighting for control of the most powerful nation on the history of the earth. | ||
If you've read history, what happened around Rome, what's happened around Athens, the fall of Athens, the Peloponnesian war, what's happened to these different empires around the last emperor of China. | ||
If you've studied any of it, it's nothing compared to this. | ||
This is, this is more powerful than all of them combined. | ||
Do you think it's just going to be, you know, coach pitch? | ||
It's not going to be coach pitch. | ||
You've got to come in there hard and tough and relentless. | ||

I'm not trying to be too hard on these guys. | ||
My point is we're already in March. | ||
This thing was supposed to take place last year. | ||
It's taken long enough. | ||
And he is, as the congressman from Florida said, we need to, we need to impeach these people. | ||
We can't let this go. | ||
You need to go forward and have a voter impeachment and present the evidence. | ||
So that's where the standard's high. | ||
And that's why I'm being tough. | ||
You got to do it. | ||
You must do this. | ||
You can't, you let this go. | ||

Okay? | ||
We'll do all of that. | ||
Because this impeachment's got to go forward. | ||
I don't care how late in the year it is. | ||
And I don't want to hear it about an election year. | ||
Romney just tweeted out, oh, well, if people need to pretend it's a loan on this Ukraine thing, because they're still pushing Ukraine with the $2 trillion deficit bill coming tonight, the sidebar $60 billion for Ukraine, he says, yeah, if you need to believe it's a loan, let them believe it's a loan, but it's never getting paid back. | ||
We'll get into more of that tomorrow. | ||
Like I said, the times of turbulence, the 2 trillion, you're about to see tonight, To be put forward by a Republican House. | ||

Which is what McCarthy left you. | ||
And you should have had massive cuts, and you should have closed the border. | ||
Simple. | ||
And we're going to get up on the ramparts tomorrow, and we're going to fight this. | ||
If we lose, we lose. | ||
But we're going to fight. | ||
And I think we got a shot at winning. | ||
