The big mystery in DC this week is which Biden family member got a cut of $3 million? House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer practically had to pull Janet Yellen’s fingernails off, but she finally coughed up 150 or so “suspicious activity reports.” This bombshell popped up in the very first one on the top of the stack.
Biden family split
Office pools are circulating with squares for various suspects on who is the unnamed Biden family member to get a split from a $3 million wire to Hunter’s associate John ‘Rob’ Walker?” New York Post is calling it “Washington’s newest guessing game.”
The cash transfer happened right after Joe moved out of the Naval Observatory in 2017. China was at the other end of that wire.
On Monday, March 12, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer gloated that “bank records obtained via subpoena implicate a ‘new Biden family member’ in the panel’s probe.” His panel is investigating the family pay-for-play empire.
🚨 2 weeks ago, I subpoenaed bank records for 3 Hunter Biden business associates.
One of the associates, Rob Walker, was wired millions from CCP connected individuals. He then sent money to 3 Biden family members.
What were they doing in return for the cash?

While “Comer is expected to reveal the person’s name at some point,” he’s teasing everyone by not doing it yet. It will be interesting to see which family members start acting nervous.
Since Comer isn’t talking, everyone else is. That’s a genius move because finally the MSM is actually reporting real news. The door is “open to speculation about who else could have been on the receiving end,” the post notes, before kicking that door in by naming some potential names.
Starting with what the committee learned Monday, “records obtained from Bank of America show that in March 2017, Walker received a $3 million wire transfer from two individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, which he then divvied up to multiple Biden family members.”
Beltway Clue Game
The very next day after the money came in from China, “the Walker account started transferring money into three different Biden family members’ accounts, including a new Biden family member that’s never before been identified as someone being involved in the influence peddling scheme.” That’s what Comer told Sean Hannity and he’s not saying more at this time.
Comer told another Fox host, Bill Hemmer, on Tuesday, that “investigators are curious about what work the three Biden family members did to justify receiving that money from Walker and what the purpose was of the original $3 million wire.” It’s not like they run a manufacturing business. The only thing the family has to peddle is influence.
Comer points out that it’s nice to see the networks covering the story but there “are more family members involved in this” besides Hunter. The media tries to cover by saying “Oh, this was for business.” Really, Comer shoots back, “we can’t identify any business. It appears it went into their personal account.”
Democrat Jamie Raskin sent a letter to House Oversight Chair Jamie Comer complaining about a subpoena to Biden family representative Rob Walker. Walker was caught in a recorded call warning that exposing him would “bury all of us, man.”

His “theory” is that “the family was running an influence peddling operation, possibly without being properly registered as foreign agents.” As to who, we already know that James Biden has been probed so his name isn’t on the pool squares.
Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer “highlighted four Biden family members in addition to Hunter that have apparently profited off their family name.” One is James and he’s crossed off. That doesn’t mean he’s innocent, only that there are others. Joe’s daughter Ashley is on the list because her “husband, Dr. Howard Krein, launched his StartUp Health investment consultancy when his father-in-law was vice president.”
Then there is Frank Biden. He’s Joe’s youngest brother and “runs a solar energy company, Sun Fund Americas, that reportedly signed a deal with the Ministry of Public Education in Costa Rica to develop renewable energy in the country, where Joe Biden also acted as the Obama administration’s point man.” That’s the favored square in office speculation pools. Still, Valerie Biden Owens can’t be ruled out. Joe’s younger sister “ran all of his Senate campaigns and his presidential runs in 1988 and 2008.“
