Nancy MAGA Mace claims the Biden family has pocketed "north of $50 million" [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-11-29 Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is the unexpected MAGA. In 2021, reflecting on the Jan 6 riots, she said Trump’s “entire legacy was wiped out.” He called her a RINO and backed her 2022 primary opponent. And their rift was complete. But somewhere on the road to DC, Mace ceased kicking against the pricks, shed the scales from her eyes, and took the Lord Trump into her heart. Her conversion, like Saul’s , was complete and absolute. Her sense of shame has withered. She will say anything to promote her cause — whatever it is. Perhaps she hopes her thirty pieces of silver will be the VP nod. Whatever her reward, she is determined to earn it — no matter how deep she has to dive into the sewer. Today, on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business show Mornings with Maria, Mace expressed her feelings about closed-door depositions and her estimate that the Biden criminal family was ne plus ultra in converting influence to cash. The conversation started with Bartiromo asking Mace why Hunter Biden’s offer to testify publicly was to his advantage. Mace responded: “Well, certainly, and Hunter Biden should not get special treatment here at all. But the biggest difference is when we have these public hearings on the House Oversight Committee or the Judiciary Committee, members of Congress only get five minutes a turn. That’s it. But when you sit for a deposition, there are attorneys involved, members are involved, staff are involved. You sit there for hours. It could go all day. You get a lot more information that you then can bring out during a public hearing. So, Hunter Biden, what are you so afraid of?” Republicans are accomplished sophists — with short memories. I do not know the House rules on committee hearings. But I imagine the majority party (the GOP) has expansive flexibility. Consider that Hillary Clinton testified for 11 hours during her Benghazi inquisition — that must resolve the “all day” problem. As for lawyers, there are 14 on the Committee. So that should allay that concern. Granted, only six of them are Republican. And members like Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and Majorie Greene will need help if the Committee wants to make the law a primary consideration. Just kidding. Mace’s lawyer concerns are merely a distraction from the political blood-lust that is the GOP’s true motivation. Mace then explained what she would be looking for in Hunter's deposition: “I want to know where all the bodies are buried. I want to know how these companies were created and layered, where the money was, was from China and how it got to the US, how it got to different Biden family members. Where was Joe Biden? How was he involved? What kind of bribery? The WhatsApp messages, the emails, the text messages.” This wish list is proof that Mace is unserious. The Committee has subpoena power. And the Supreme Court has given Congress space to go on these types of ‘fact-finding’ missions. Banks have financial records. States have corporate records. Social media and communications companies have their records. If any of those entities had something damning, the Committee would have it by now. And Comer would have been on Fox announcing it instead of peddling the weak tea he pretends is Champagne. They have been at it for ten months. The results? Nada. But Mace will not let facts interfere with her crusade. Bartiromo then dialed up the ass-kissing and asked the extent of the Biden family's venality. “You’ve done an incredible job. You as well as James Comer, in exposing some things that we had no idea. How much money do you believe the Biden family has pocketed at this point?” Mace then picked a random number, gaudy enough to get her the attention she lusts for. “Oh, well, it’s north of $50 million. The amount of money that we’re talking about that we’ve seen in suspicious activity reports, the amount of money that’s been laundered through that family, through their corruption, is going to be north of that. And I think it’s significant sums. And, you know, was it cash? Was it credit card? How was this done? Where did Joe Biden have access to the money? All these things can come forward through the testimony of people like Hunter Biden and those affiliated with him. I am confused. Mace says the GOP has evidence of suspicious activities and money laundering — but she does not know if it was cash or credit card? I have to believe that when a bank issues a suspicious activity report, they provide some details — like the amount and nature of the transactions that led to the suspicions. But Mace was not done. “And this is just the start. I want to bring in the bookkeeper. I want to bring in other witnesses and whistleblowers. There are so many different points in this investigation. It’s going to take a bit of time. But the deposition is the first place to start and I can’t wait to take my turn with Hunter Biden on this.” I am still at sea. If the “bookkeeper” has something juicy, why have they not already been subpoenaed? And as for “whistleblowers,” has not the Committee already been down that road — unprofitably? Either their whistleblowers disappeared , or Comer lied that they existed. It is hard for people who believe that the truth has a role to play in public life, no matter how remote, to understand how someone can go on a national cable show and lie to the point of absurdity. They should consider that recent converts are often the people most committed to a delusion. It is as if they are making up for lost time.
