Marjorie Taylor Greene Pretends To Have Evidence Against Joe Biden

Claiming the impeachment investigation into President Biden had produced evidence of an impeachable offense, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene cited a debunked conspiracy theory and two innocent checks exchanged between then-civilian Biden and his brother, Jim.

“I'm here to inform the House of Representatives that the Oversight Committee has indeed brought forward the receipts in our impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden,” Greene ominously stated, baselessly accusing the President of participating in a money laundering scheme involving two foreign countries.

Unfortunately for the GOP, those “receipts” in question are irrelevant.

Both checks, valued at $200,000 and $40,000 respectively, are personal loan repayments from Jim Biden to Joe Biden, brother to brother, in 2018—at a time when Joe was a private citizen.

According to Jim Biden’s attorney, White House spokesperson Ian Sams, and Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin, House Republicans have copies of bank records confirming the original loans and their repayments.

A private citizen loaning money to a family member and being paid back is neither illegal nor an impeachable offense. Republicans have offered no evidence to support their extraordinary claims, merely innuendo.

Moreover, when these transactions occurred in 2018, Joe Biden was no longer Senator or Vice President and not yet President. As a private citizen, he was not in a position to influence U.S. policy, corruptly or otherwise.

Greene’s equally dishonest colleague, Byron Donalds, has suggested that the value of the checks alone constitutes evidence of corruption, suggesting that Biden’s government salary would have been insufficient to provide such funds.

But this, too, has been thoroughly debunked: Biden received millions of dollars for speaking engagements and book deals: $11 million in 2017 and $4 million in 2018.
