Rep.
James Comer led the press conference Thursday, where he made clear that
the president himself was the target of the House GOP's probe
House Republicans announced Thursday that they are launching an investigation that will focus on President Biden himself and any illicit or unethical financial ties he had to his son Hunter's overseas dealings.
Now Joe Biden and his family are facing an onslaught of subpoenas from the House majority members, who say they know where the proverbial bodies are buried.
James Comer, the GOP ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, will have the power to issue legally-backed demands for documents, information and testimony once the 188th Congress begins on January 3.
The congressman laid out his plans to use that power to go after the Bidens for alleged wire fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, illegal foreign lobbying and defrauding the government.
Hunter is currently under a federal criminal investigation for alleged tax evasion, money laundering and illegal foreign lobbying.
The evidence Comer is currently combing through, and is seeking to claw via subpoena, could ultimately result in articles of impeachment for the president and prison for the First Son.
Comer's Upcoming Subpoenas
Some of the leads Comer's investigation will pursue were first uncovered by DailyMail.com.
The incoming House oversight chief quoted a whistleblower who came forward to DailyMail.com this month claiming they were on a conference call for a Latin American online gambling company in 2012 with Joe – who was Vice President at the time – acting like 'chairman of the board'.

CEFC, and allegedly had ties to the Chinese government
In a Thursday letter demanding information from the National Archives and Records Administration, Comer referenced Hunter's trips on Air Force 2 to Mexico in 2015 to meet with Mexican billionaires who Joe entertained at the White House and VP's residence; a scandal revealed by DailyMail.com in June last year.
Comer also asked the FBI for information on Hunter's assistant, JiaQi Bao, who was hired in his joint venture with Chinese oil giant CEFC, and allegedly had ties to the Chinese government.
Hunter's close relationship with Bao, as well as her flirty emails giving Hunter political advice for Joe and telling him to embezzle company funds, were uncovered by DailyMail.com in May 2021.
Comer is also asking the Treasury for copies of more than 150 suspicious activity reports (SARs) involving the Bidens, filed by banks under anti-financial crime laws, that could be key to tracing the flows of foreign funds to the family's coffers.
Former Treasury Special Agent and money laundering probe expert John Cassara told DailyMail.com that there was much more financial information held by banks that investigators may be able to get their hands on.
‘The 150 SARS are incredibly important but potentially there are a host of other financial intelligence reports that should also be analyzed,’ he said.
These include Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Assets (FBARs) and financial disclosures by banks to government under the Patriot Act.
‘This kind of information sharing could be invaluable in following the money trails, unraveling associations, as well as helping to unravel the labyrinth of related LLCs and lack of beneficial ownership information,’ Cassara added.
‘The data will help investigators peel away the onion skin of a financial investigation. Depending on what is found, then relevant accounts can be subpoenaed, and a focused forensic audit conducted.’
Joe's Share of Chinese Millions
The most compelling piece of evidence tying Joe to his son's shady businesses is the '10 for the big guy' email found on Hunter's abandoned laptop.
In 2017 when the First Son and his business partners were setting up a multi-million-dollar deal with CEFC, Hunter's partner James Gilliar sent an email laying out the proposed ownership of their joint venture suggesting that Hunter would hold 10% on Joe's behalf.
In the list of owners, Gilliar wrote '10 held by H for the big guy?'
Another partner in the deal, Tony Bobulinski, confirmed that 'the big guy' was Joe Biden, and other emails on Hunter's laptop refer to Joe using the same nickname.
Text messages Bobulinski shared with Congress show both Gilliar and another partner and Biden family friend Rob Walker describing Joe's involvement in the Chinese deal.
After Hunter mentioned 'my chairman' in a group text with his co-investors in May 2017, Walker wrote to Bobulisnki: 'When he said his chairmen he was talking about his dad'.
Gilliar wrote to Bobulinski in another text: 'Don't mention Joe being involved, it's only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid.'

I can't imagine an impeachment against Senile Joe unless he rightously gets caught with his hand in the till in some fashion or other. Can you imagine PRESIDENT HARRIS? And there is no way in hell he would ever be convicted in the senate in any case. That being said it sure as hell would be fun to watch.
