For those of us who have long criticized the corrupt practices of the Biden family, the identity of these other family members is intriguing after the Committee secured new bank and financial records.

Indeed, if it is not a matter for criminal charges, such congressional action may be the only way to force accountability for corrupt efforts to sell influence and access.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is quite possible that President Biden and his family may never be held accountable for their influence peddling. The only value in pointing out their wrongdoing is in letting voters decide how much corruption they are willing to put up with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, Jonathan Turley posted an article on his website about the investigation into the Biden family business dealings.
