Journal ignoring testimony on Biden family corruption

Our founding fathers considered freedom of the press one of the bastions of our democracy. As one the major purveyors of information, our newspapers play a vital role in informing our citizens of what is going on in the world and particularly, our country.

In that context it is distressing that the Journal does not consider the recent testimony to Congress of Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s business partner, newsworthy. On Tuesday, Aug. 1, the Journal printed two detailed articles on Donald Trump’s legal problems, but no mention of Archer’s testimony that President Joe Biden participated in about 20 phone conversations between Hunter and their business clients in Ukraine, China, Romania ,and other countries. Hunter brought no expertise to the table other than access to to his father, Joe Biden, who, at that time, was vice president of the U.S.

Numerous emails as well as testimony from two very senior IRS Managers, a most trusted FBI whisleblower, audio recordings, bank records, and Hunter’s laptop computer indicate tens of millions of dollars involved in these dealings.

These mountains of evidence point to perhaps the largest political corruption case in the history of our nation involving the current president. The potential of our president being compromised in dealing with some of our biggest adversaries is certainly a credible concern. It is also now readily apparent that President Biden has been lying for over 2 years about never discussing his business dealings with his son. Emails and personal testimony by another one of Hunter’s business partners, Tony Bobulinski, indicated that “the big guy” was getting 10% of these transactions. Yet, with all the mounting evidence of Biden family influence peddling and corruption, the Journal deems this not newsworthy. I would call this fake news by means of omission. BURTON NEWMARK
