First brother James Biden\u2019s admission that he was hired to help a Philadelphia construction company receive hundreds of millions of dollars in Saudi contracts came as no surprise to many who have been following The Post\u2019s coverage of the Biden family\u2019s elaborate influence-peddling schemes.
\n\u201cIs anyone surprised at all? I mean, this is what the Biden family has been doing now for years,\u201d Fox News Radio host Guy Benson told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Wednesday. \u201cSelf-enrichment, based on the name. This is cronyism.
\n\u201cWhether this particular case is criminal, I\u2019d be surprised,\u201d Benson added. \u201cWe can debate the ethics of it, but it definitely stinks, I think, to the average person.\u201d
\nFar-right Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) reacted in a tweet to the bombshell report on James Biden\u2019s 2012 work on behalf of construction firm Hill International in a dispute involving a desalinization plant constructed in the Middle Eastern country during the 1980s.
\n\u201cThe Bidens are the most corrupt family in the history of politics,\u201d Boebert tweeted Wednesday.
\nPaul Sperry, a senior reporter with RealClearInvestigations and a columnist for The Post, said the story of James Biden\u2019s dealings with Saudi Arabia is indicative that it is James, and not first son Hunter Biden, who is the \u201cmastermind\u201d behind the family\u2019s foreign dealings.
\n\u201cMAKE NO MISTAKE: Jimmy Biden is both the mastermind and the muscle behind the Biden shakedown racket.\u201d Sperry wrote in a tweet Wednesday. \u201cHunter is just the fast-talking front man, more or less a patsy in the operation.\u201d
\nMike Davis, the former chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told podcast host Benny Johnson that he expects both Hunter Biden and James Biden to be grilled by the House Oversight Committee based on the latest piece of \u201csmoking gun evidence that Joe Biden has repeatedly sold access to the vice presidency.\u201d
\n\u201cHunter Biden and James Biden will come before Congress and testify,\u201d Davis said. \u201cAnd it could be the end of the Biden regime at that point.\u201d
\nAsked by Johnson what the best avenue is for further investigations into the Biden family, Davis said, \u201cyou follow the money.\u201d
\n\u201cWe have a president of the United States that \u2013 there\u2019s evidence \u2013 that he\u2019s clearly compromised,\u201d Davis argued. \u201cYou can\u2019t get more within Congress\u2019s oversight responsibility than whether a president is compromised by foreign corruption.\u201d
\nJames Biden has denied he was hired to help resolve the $140 million dispute between Hill International and the Riyadh government because of his family name.
