Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the TV without hearing about another Biden family scandal, here we are. It seems like James Biden, brother of Joe “I’ve never discussed my son’s overseas business dealings” Biden, has had his old laundry aired for all to see.
In 2007, the FBI was hot on the heels of attorney Richard “Dickie” Scruggs, who was neck-deep in a bribery probe. Now, what does this have to do with our favorite political family, you ask? Well, during this investigation, the FBI recorded conversations between James Biden and Tim Balducci, a lawyer and associate of Scruggs. These recordings weren’t directly related to bribery, but they certainly shed some light on Jimmy’s penchant for influence peddling.
Casual chats about business partnerships and plans were captured on tape, with James Biden leveraging his last name like he was selling autographs at a comic-con. What makes it even more interesting is that this was happening when Joey was still a senator, not the vice president. And guess what? Two of the potential partners in James’ consulting group, including Balducci, ended up behind bars. But Jimmy? He’s just the brother of the current president, no biggie.
Now, of course, James Biden’s attorney is doing the song and dance routine, downplaying any business interaction between the Biden brothers. According to him, James never used his brother’s position for personal gain or engaged in any unethical behavior. Right, and I’m the Queen of England.
What’s really amusing is The Washington Post’s sudden interest in this scandal. After their tireless efforts to downplay the Hunter Biden laptop story and their unwavering support for Joe, it’s almost like they’re trying to win back some credibility. But let’s be honest, the Biden White House probably didn’t have this resurfaced investigation on their Christmas wish list.
So there you have it, folks. Another day, another Biden family scandal. It’s almost like they’re trying to set a record or something.
