Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz is calling on the House to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Biden following revelations from an IRS whistleblower regarding the Hunter Biden probe. The whistleblower informed Congress that Hunter Biden had invoked his father’s name to pressure a Chinese business partner through WhatsApp, even claiming that President Biden was present during the negotiations.
When asked about the point at which the investigation into Hunter Biden becomes an issue for the president, potentially leading to Republican-led impeachment efforts, Cruz responded by saying, “It is right now.” He further elaborated, stating that the WhatsApp conversation provided direct evidence of Joe Biden abusing his position to benefit his son and potentially himself. Cruz emphasized that the House should conduct an investigation into these allegations. He also highlighted the whistleblower’s claim that the Department of Justice, under Merrick Garland, hindered an investigation into the mentioned message.
It should be noted that Garland has denied any interference in the Hunter Biden probe. Senator Cruz made these comments during a recent episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz.” The discussion centered around allegations made by an IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley Jr., who oversaw the investigation into Hunter Biden. Shapley asserted that there were unprecedented efforts to impede investigations into Joe Biden during the 2020 campaign and his presidency.
The whistleblower disclosed the existence of a WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Harvest Fund Management’s CEO, Henry Zhao, dated July 30, 2017. In the message, Hunter purportedly mentioned his father and used his name to exert pressure on Zhao to fulfill a commitment. The message stated, “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”
Hunter Biden allegedly added, “I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
Cruz emphasized that this WhatsApp message directly links Joe Biden to money originating from communist China. However, he acknowledged that there is a possibility that Hunter Biden may have been lying, and Joe Biden may not have been present or involved in any potential improprieties. Cruz argued that the lack of investigation into these allegations, as claimed by the whistleblower, constitutes obstruction of justice. He specifically pointed to Merrick Garland as potentially guilty of obstructing the investigation.
Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, expressed frustration that Democrats showed no interest in upholding the rule of law and holding a hearing to question Garland about the WhatsApp message and related matters. He asserted that the House is the only hope for pursuing an investigation.
If the claims made in the WhatsApp message are accurate, they would contradict President Biden’s repeated denials of any knowledge about his son’s business dealings. When asked about whether the WhatsApp message undermines the president’s claims, a National Security Council representative declined to comment further.
In response, a Hunter Biden attorney issued a statement claiming that any words or actions by Hunter Biden during his struggle with addiction were his own and not connected to his family. The White House Counsel’s Office also reiterated that the president was not involved in business dealings with his son and that the Justice Department independently makes decisions in criminal investigations.
The only reason there is push to expose the biden corruption now is that Ukraine is about to fall and all the dirt will be out. Those calling out the loudest now probably have the most to hide. It is all about narrative management. Look for an alien invasion from Mars when Zelinsky flees Kiev.
It will not happen. The Republicans are just as dirty, corrupt, evil, and filthy as the Democrats. Every single component of the US government is irreversibly corrupt and evil; so evil protects and emboldens evil. The only way this Constitutional Representative Republic gets righted and rebuilt is through the shedding of the blood of tyrants. God is going to judge and punish those tyrants; an eternal and unimaginably horrific punishment.
Until you get rid of McConnell and McCarthy this slow dance will continue.
One of the actual serious men in government.
To votingdoesn’tmatteranymore. You are spot on with your post.
Cruz might not have to be calling for Joe Briben’s impeachment if he and others in Congress had fought the stolen election harder in 2020 instead of caving.
Why isn’t Cruz exploding and totally cursing the supreme court in its majority decision flying TOTALLY in the face of our Constitution in its ruling that Louisiana and Texas lack standing to challenge a biden administration immigration policy which allows unfettered solicitation of illegal immigration and aiding and abetting these criminals and sometimes dangerous invaders despite clear Constitutional prohibition? Even Clarence Thomas has joined the destruction of our nation and its Constitution. Judge Alito said exactly what should have been affirmed by the treasonous court (read his dissenting statement). Ted Cruz is a lawyer, and a supposed conservative and he is from Texas! What in the Hell goes here???!!! Where are your priorities, Cruz?
And where is our F’ing USELESS RINO “Senator” Cornyn???? Useless RINO POS!
