‘Republicans Have More Credibility’: Long-Time Dem Operative Says Biden Pardons A Facade For Influence Peddling Scheme

Julian Epstein, the Democratic Party’s former top adviser, appeared on FOX Business on Wednesday to criticize former President Joe Biden’s recent pardons, calling them not an act of judicial clemency but part of a plan to spread broader influence. It was suggested that it was a department.

Monaka exterior Epstein said on “Evening Edit” that these pardons “energize the Republican argument that this matter deserves further investigation.” Epstein said the problem lies in what appears to be an organized cover-up aimed at preserving the Biden family’s financial interests while at the same time evading the family’s responsibilities.

“Whatever legacy is left behind, it’s not just a stain on his legacy because Biden lied about his family’s pardon. It’s because the Democrats’ sacrosanct rhetoric about the rule of law rings hollow. Ultimately, however, the pardons for the family add fuel to the Republican argument that what the pardons suggest is a cover-up for a plot to spread influence, which deserves further investigation. ,” Epstein said.

The on-air debate delved into Biden’s preemptive pardons. Epstein then discussed Hunter Biden’s involvement with foreign entities, his involvement with Burisma, and his alleged attempt to broker a deal that benefited a Ukrainian energy company.

“There is nothing to prevent Congress from conducting an investigation, nothing to prevent the Justice Department from conducting an investigation into whether the pardons themselves were part of a cover-up plan. For example, the State Department said that Hunter Biden’s comments on Burisma were In 2016, Hunter Biden returned to the State Department to negotiate a sweetheart deal between the Italians and Burisma, according to the New York Times. I searched the State Department,” Epstein added.

Epstein said the former president is often seen with his son’s business associates and may have been indirectly involved in these transactions.

“So, at the very least, this suggests a plan by President Biden, who claims to be a very caring father, though the details are unclear, to extend his influence when he was elbowing his son. We’re doing this,” Epstein said. “All the while, he was living this highbrow lifestyle that we all know about, but that we don’t really know about. Liz, what the pardon led to was a series of circumstances that further fueled the situation. And I think Republicans now have more credibility in their argument that there should be more investigation. So I think this has made things even worse for Biden.”

On Monday, near the end of his presidential term, Biden granted preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley and members of the Jan. ” to protect them from. Biden has hinted at pardoning Fauci and others, saying his decision was influenced by President Donald Trump’s appointments for his second term.
