China Biden got his Christmas check early. Notice how quiet he's been
about his Chinese pals in December.

A miracle occurred Wednesday.

President Biden was asked about his involvement in his family’s shady influence-peddling schemes at a White House press conference.

The reporter who asked the question, you won’t be surprised to know, was
The Post’s own White House correspondent Steven Nelson — and the only
reason he was allowed to ask a question at all was because it happened
to be the day when it was his turn to be the reporter assigned by the
White House Correspondents’ Association to represent the rotating “pool”
of journalists at White House events and share his information with the
other media outlets.

“President Biden, on Ukraine and also China, there’s polling by the
Associated Press that shows that almost 70% of Americans, including 40%
of Democrats, believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in
regard to your family’s business interests. Can you explain to
Americans, amid this impeachment inquiry, why you interacted with so
many of your son and brother’s foreign business associates?”

The president’s eyes narrowed, and his lip curled: “I’m not going to
comment on that. I did not. And it’s just a bunch of lies.”

Nelson followed up: “You didn’t interact with any of their business associates?”

Prez denies & ditches
Biden spoke over him: “They’re lies,” he said, before answering: “I did
not. They’re lies.”

Then he turned and walked out of the press conference.

So there you have it.

Three times on Wednesday, Joe Biden denied that he has interacted with
his son Hunter and brother Jim’s business associates, when it is an
undeniable, documented fact that he has interacted with them dozens of
times.

Tony Bobulinski would like a word.

Bobulinski, Hunter’s business partner on the family’s joint venture with Chinese energy company CEFC, voluntarily provided testimony to the FBI
that he met Joe on two occasions in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 2017, on
May 2 and May 3.

On the first occasion, Jim and Hunter were present, and on the second, Bobulinski met with Joe alone.

“I am a former decorated naval officer who was willing to die for this
great country and held the highest security clearance issued by the
Department of Energy,” Bobulinski told The Post yesterday.

“Why is Joe Biden blatantly lying to the American people and the world
by claiming that he did not meet with me face to face?

“He should call his son Hunter and brother Jim as they can remind him of
the facts. The American people deserve the truth.”

“I call on Mr. Biden to stop lying and correct the record.”

If only that were possible.

But Joe Biden can’t stop lying.

The hole he has dug for himself is too deep.

The evidence already amassed by the three congressional committees
working on the impeachment inquiry is overwhelming.

It comes in the form of subpoenaed bank records, sworn witness
testimony, emails, text messages, WhatsApp messages, voicemails and photographs.

It shows that when Joe Biden was vice president, he was intimately
involved in the lucrative scheme his son and brother were running to
extract millions of dollars from countries that were America’s
adversaries or supplicants and in which he wielded enormous power as the
point man for the Obama administration.

As the product they were selling, he made himself available to meet with
Hunter and Jim’s business partners, attending dinners and lunches,
inviting them to breakfast at his vice presidential residence.

He spoke to Hunter’s foreign business associates on speakerphone at
least 20 times, as Hunter’s former “best friend in business” Devon
Archer has testified to Congress.

He flew Hunter with him on Air Force 2 to countries where Hunter was
doing business, and made himself available to meet his son’s partners,
such as the time he met Jonathan Li, in Beijing, in December 2013,
shortly before Hunter received 10 percent of Chinese fund BHR.

To save time, Hunter would sometimes organize dinners where his father
could meet associates from more than one country at a time.

For instance, as vice president, Joe attended a dinner in the private
Garden Room at Georgetown’s Café Milano that Hunter organized for his
dad to meet his foreign benefactors from Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan,
as Archer testified to Congress, and as the White House has grudgingly acknowledged.

At that dinner was Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at Burisma, the
corrupt Ukrainian energy company that was paying Hunter $83,333 a month
— at least until a few weeks after Joe left the vice presidency, at
which time Hunter’s payment was cut in half.

Also on the guest list was Vladimir Putin-aligned Russian oligarch Elena Baturina, who paid $3.5 million to an account associated with Hunter and Archer, and her husband, the corrupt former mayor of Moscow, Yury
Luzhkov.

Also at the dinner were two Kazakhstanis, then-Prime Minister Karim
Massimov and oligarch Kenes Rakishev, who funneled cash into Hunter’s
bank accounts.

They might like to have a word with Joe as well.

The corrupt selling out of America is bad enough.

But the cover-up of the Biden grift is even worse since it involves the corruption of institutions that are supposed to keep us safe: the FBI,
DOJ and CIA.

Whistleblower heroics
The only reason we know about the cover-up is because a handful of noble whistleblowers from those institutions have exposed the wrongdoing, not
least IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who met with
the House Ways and Means Committee again this week to present additional evidence about how the DOJ and the Delaware US Attorney’s Office
shielded Joe Biden from the investigation into his son.

Ziegler, formerly the chief IRS investigator on the case, revealed
Wednesday that he was blocked from interviewing Bobulinski, who was able
and willing to provide evidence about the Bidens’ CEFC joint venture,
and the involvement of the “Big Guy,” Joe Biden, who had been slated to
receive 10% of the proceeds before CEFC collapsed.

Ziegler testified that the “Hunter Biden investigative team, including
myself, had asked the assigned prosecutors to conduct an interview of Bobulinski but we were denied that request, and were never able to
interview him.”

“Interviewing Bobulinski would be normal process and procedure as a part
of a criminal investigation for the team to corroborate evidence
obtained in the investigation, elaborate on investigative leads,
challenge some of the allegations made, and ask pertinent questions
regarding the investigation. Again, this was not done!”

Ziegler and Shapley have repeatedly testified that all investigative
avenues that would lead to Joe were blocked by Delaware Assistant US
Attorney Lesley Wolf, under the mantle of US Attorney David Weiss and
the Department of Justice, which obfuscated, hobbled and delayed the investigation with the effect that the statute of limitations ran out on
the most serious tax and foreign lobbying charges against Hunter.

Attorney General Merrick Garland thinks he has covered the malfeasance
by appointing Weiss as special counsel.

But “no report written by Mr. Weiss can be taken seriously, as it will
be a document full of self-serving justifications to defend himself
against the allegations that he engaged in unethical conduct and allowed
Hunter Biden preferential treatment,” Shapley says.

He wants a special counsel to investigate Weiss, the DOJ and the IRS’s
handling of the probe.

But in the end, it will be up to the American people to cast judgment on
Joe Biden’s lies.
