US Treasury Denies Republicans' Request for Hunter Biden Records

[Credence]

US Treasury Denies Republicans' Request for Hunter Biden Records​ (Bloomberg) -- The US Treasury Department refused Wednesday to provide House Republicans any suspicious activity reports it may have on foreign banking and other business transactions by Hunter Biden and other members of President Joe Biden’s family. Jonathan Davidson, Treasury’s legislative affairs chief, told House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer in a letter that he needs more details about why the panel is seeking such “highly sensitive” information. Comer wrote on Jan. 11 to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for any so-called suspicious activity reports — used by banks to flag what they deem dubiously large transactions — as part of his panel’s probes into overseas business and other dealings by the president’s son. Without acknowledging whether such reports on the Bidens exist, Davidson on Wednesday instructed Comer that “improper disclosure” of such information can undermine the executive branch’s “conduct of law enforcement, intelligence, and national security activities.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-treasury-denies-republicans-request-014351391.html

Why? It took democrats 4 years and many court room battles before they got Trump's records/tax returns. What makes the GOP think they can just snap their fingers and get whatever they want?

And he was POTUS and he only POTUS who did not release his returns.
Hunter is not a political figure. He is just a citizen just like the rest of us who happens to be the son of our POTUS

Perhaps they should investigate Jared and his $2Billion payment from Saudi or the patents Ivanka got from China.
There is much more ....................

And they complained bitterly the entire time their were doing it. And the results? NOTHING! (Except what they wanted all along: To illegally release them to the public.)

What makes the GOP think they can just snap their fingers and get whatever they want?

What goes around, comes around.

Now, the Dems can hypocritically complain bitterly about the GOP some more.

At least insofar as tax returns are concerned, that ship has sailed, my friend. Bon voyage!

The House isn't asking for tax records, which there is a legislative intent rational. They're asking for the suspicious activities report, which they don't even know whether such reports on the Bidens exist. It seems presumptuous to ask for them and whose only purpose is political.

That Dem House "legislative intent rational" was bullshit. The real reason they want "Trump's" tax records was purely political. Just like their dog and pony show.

Remind me what political office Hunter holds, has held, or is running for to justify the congressional investigation again?

Then like us, you can wait six years to see Hunter's financial information.

Hope you brought a book.

Congress isn't limited to investigating things involving political office holders...but, of course, they certainly CAN investigate things involving political office holders...like the President and his family.

I don't care about his financial information. What ever gave you the idea that I did?

But the House certainly cares. Maybe you should advise THEM to bring a book.

What the ****??

Jonathan Davidson, Treasury’s legislative affairs chief, told House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer in a letter that he needs more details about why the panel is seeking such “highly sensitive” information.

SARs are a stand alone reason to provide Congressional oversight!!
Hunter has about a 100 of them.

Comer Blasts the Treasury Department for Refusing to Provide the Biden Family’s Suspicious Activity Reports - United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability

United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability

oversight.house.gov

the Treasury Department continues to run cover for the Biden family and possibly hide information about whether Joe Biden benefited financially from his family’s business transactions. The Biden Administration changed the rules to severely restrict Congress’ access to suspicious activity reports in the dark of night and with no explanation. Hunter Biden and other Biden family members have racked up at least 150 suspicious activity reports for their shady foreign business deals. We need more information about these transactions
~~~
Newsflash. bureaucrats don't tell Congress what to investigate -that is a Congressional purview!

 

[Slartibartfast]

Now that the Durham thing is dying down, it’s time for THE NEXT GREAT MAGA HOPE THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING.

 

[Gateman_Wen]

Congress isn't limited to investigating things involving political office holders...but, of course, they certainly CAN investigate things involving political office holders...like the President and his family.

So is that your way of saying "none" without actually saying "none" because it would undermine your supposed point?

Republicans should take the dept to court for the records. They should expect to have to do this with all their requests. They should not even bother wasting their time in negotiations. File lawsuits immediately.

They certainly should. Because while House Republicans will always be welcome on Fox News, no respectable institution is going to entertain their nonsense.

Boo ****ing Hoo. Karma's a bitch, eh?

What karma??? The most important stuff for the GQP is to find dirt on the Bidens, and they can't get their way.

When Hunter Biden runs for office, you can grumble about karma all you want. Until then, go kick rocks.

 

[Kushinator]

They certainly should. Because while House Republicans will always be welcome on Fox News, no respectable institution is going to entertain their nonsense.

The only people who care about HB are GQP nutters.
