The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: Biden family received more than $27 million from foreign sources...

Um, quoting from an article (link below) on this bullsh!t:

The investigators put the total at $27 million, according to the bank records they received. But the investigators failed to turn up evidence that Biden himself received money from those companies or participated in the foreign business deals beyond the occasions when Hunter Biden called him on speakerphone to exchange pleasantries while in the company of foreign business associates or when he saw them at his son’s birthday dinner.

They got nothing.

For example:

One of the examples the committees cite is the case of Russian businesswoman Yelena Baturina, the wife of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzkhkov, who invested $3.5 million with Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer through a company that had some ties to Hunter Biden in 2014. The investment was finalized after Hunter Biden’s birthday dinner at Café Milano in Washington, D.C., which Baturina attended and Joe Biden, then the vice president, dropped by. Archer described the conversation in an interview with the Oversight Committee last year as being about “the world, I guess, and the weather, and then everybody — everybody left.”

Wow, what outrageous influence peddling, asking about the weather.

Maybe you should be outraged by a current presidential candidate in a multi-million dollar business relationship with Saudi Bonesaw Arabia through LIV golf. Or his son-in-law and daughter getting $2 BILLION from the same nation while he's trying to negotiate a resort in Albania.

Or, gee, you might express your outrage at Trump walking off with dozens of the nation's most highly classified intelligence documents and leaving them in a unlocked toilet but you've yet to say a word about that.
