U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI)and his staff have spent the past few years looking into allegations of corruption surrounding President Joe Biden; his ne\u2019er do well son Hunter Biden, and others in the Biden family.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin senator says what he, his committee, and others have uncovered is beyond scandalous; it\u2019s cold, calculated corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point in time, it becomes so obvious, even the corrupt and complicit media will have to admit it and start reporting on all this,\u201d Johnson told<\/a> Fox News<\/em> host Sean Hannity on his show the night before last Wednesday\u2019s first Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Johnson, ranking member of the Senate\u2019s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and former chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee for several years, has worked closely with U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on multi-year investigations into Biden family business dealings. Grassley serves as ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n

The senators last year shared documents and banking records involving the Biden family\u2019s foreign business entanglements they obtained with the Delaware U.S. Attorney\u2019s office, which led the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. Those records, among others, show financial ties between the president\u2019s son and foreign interests in Ukraine, Russia, China, and elsewhere, suggesting pay-to-play schemes involving Joe Biden when he was vice president.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s and Grassley\u2019s offices obtained U.S. Treasury records showing millions of dollars in transactions with Hunter Biden and his associates connected to the money spigot.<\/p>\n

The Biden Department of Justice has been accused of stonewalling congressional investigations and shielding the Biden family from legal and political consequences.<\/p>\n

Last month, Attorney General Merrick Garland<\/a>\u00a0named U.S. Attorney David Weiss special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, with authority over other matters that have arisen or will arise from his investigation that has spanned five years.<\/p>\n

Weiss\u2019 appointment raised alarm bells after a sweetheart deal that would have kept the younger Biden out of prison on tax and gun charges melted beneath public and judicial scrutiny.<\/p>\n

House Republicans this week announced they are extending their investigation into Garland\u2019s decision to tap Weiss as special prosecutor. A joint letter from the chairmen of the Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees said the appointment \u201craises numerous concerns\u201d about the attorney general\u2019s insistence that Weiss had been operating free of political pressure.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the extremely serious nature of these issues, the Committees expect unfettered cooperation with our oversight from both you and the Department,\u201d the letter stated.<\/p>\n

Johnson said testimony from Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers and other key evidence points to three scandals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the scandal of the corrupt Biden family. Then we have corruption of our federal law enforcement covering up for Hunter. Now we got whistleblowers from the IRS investigation,\u201d Johnson told the hosts of the Ruthless <\/i>podcast<\/a> on location in Milwaukee the day of the debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that the FBI was pre-sabotaging the revelation that the Hunter Biden laptop existed by giving Senator Grassley and I a defensive briefing, unsolicited, saying we were targets of Russian disinformation to smear us later on. That\u2019s the second scandal,\u201d the senator said of the FBI\u2019s curious activities in the summer of 2020, before the New York Post<\/em> reported on the discovery of Hunter Biden\u2019s damning laptop. \u201cBut probably the most serious scandal, literally, is the complicity and corruption of the media.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat always drives me so nuts is that the corruption of the Biden crime family has been so obvious and yet the mainstream media goes, \u2018Well, there\u2019s no evidence.\u2019 How much evidence do you need to have?\u201d<\/p>\n
