Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to bring women Hunter Biden paid for sex before Congress: The controversial Georgia Congresswoman is hinting at a new direction for the House Republicans’ probes of the president’s son.
Hunter Biden Is In Trouble…
The House Republicans’ probes of Hunter Biden’s finances, laptop, and personal life raise a persistent question: Is the GOP actually trying to draw out wrongdoing by the president, or are they just looking to embarrass Hunter Biden?
Last week, the House Oversight Committee released what they claimed was new evidence about the “Biden Family” and the “influence operation” that they had pulled off across several countries.
But as pointed out by everyone from the New York Times to, surprisingly, Steve Doocy of Fox News, the release was light on any evidence of any crimes, as well as that President Biden received any money for any of the deals.
“But that’s just your suggestion ― you actually don’t have any facts to that point. You’ve got some circumstantial evidence,” Doocy, a man certainly not known for going on television and defending Democratic officials, said on Fox last week. “And the other thing is, of all those names, the one person who didn’t profit is ― there is no evidence that Joe Biden did anything illegally.”
A report over the weekend says the House GOP, or at least one member of it, is planning something that almost certainly has no plausible connection to any supposed wrongdoing by Joe Biden.
The New York Post reported that the House Oversight Committee is in talks to bring sex workers employed in the past by Hunter Biden to testify before the committee.
“We’re going to track down these women and talk to them and if there is a credible reason that we need to bring them in front of the Oversight Committee then absolutely we will do that. Especially when it involves our national security,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is on the House Oversight Committee, told the Post.
Greene said she has had talks with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) about doing such a thing, and they are “working in that direction,” although no one besides Greene appears to have confirmed that such a thing is planned.
“Congresswoman Greene is very concerned about the possibility that the women being paid for prostitution by the President’s son who were foreign nationals were human trafficked,” the committee said in a statement to the newspaper. “She plans to lead a probe to determine if in fact, they were human trafficked and if the Biden family has tried to intimidate them or cover the story up.”
The thinking goes that the suspicious activity reports (SARs) obtained by the committee say that the president’s son paid women for sex, and some of them came from Russia and Ukraine.
“There was an entire stack of papers and it was each transaction, each person, each LLC, Hunter Biden’s law firm, Hunter Biden himself, and multiple Biden family members — then it was all these prostitutes. And you can go through and it gives all the prostitutes’ names, addresses, birthdates, telephone numbers, their passports,” Greene told the newspaper.
Biden’s infamous laptop consisted of numerous photographs of himself with sex workers, often during drug binges. A request by the Biden campaign in 2020 to remove a nude photo of Hunter later became a matter of contention in the Twitter Files debates.
Greene added that she and the committee want to confirm whether the younger Biden ever brought such women to the White House, and cited an “extreme danger” that the women might be spies. However, little to no evidence has been produced indicating that this might be the case.
Perhaps needless to say, there is no connection to speak of between Hunter Biden’s reported escapades with sex workers, and his father. And no evidence has emerged that the women were trafficked, although the GOP in recent years, including Greene’s old friends in the QAnon movement, has never been shy about baselessly insinuating top Democrats’ involvement in human trafficking.
