If Joe Biden is not the Democratic presidential candidate in 2024, will former first lady Michelle Obama <\/a>take his place? Some are betting that if the president is driven out of the race next year by corruption allegations, increasing signs of mental impairment and terrible approval ratings, only the former first lady has the name recognition and popularity to step in as a last-minute replacement. Mrs. Obama, one of the most admired people in the nation, would have an excellent chance of winning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And yet, revelations about Hunter Biden\u2019s influence-peddling and his father\u2019s alleged complicity do not only taint Joe Biden\u2019s presidency; they also cast a shadow on the Obama White House. To be sure, Michelle Obama was not the president, but it is her husband\u2019s reputation and accomplishments that she would run on. Quite soon, people will ask: what did President Obama know about Joe Biden\u2019s evident corruption and when did he know it?<\/p>\n

The evidence suggests that the Obama administration<\/a>, (erroneously) touted by liberals as “scandal-free”, may have turned a blind eye to the biggest political scandal of our time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BIDEN’S NARRATIVE ON NEVER DISCUSSING BUSINESS DEALS WITH HUNTER CONTINUES TO CRUMBLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The House Oversight Committee under James Comer is crafting a solid case that Hunter Biden made millions of dollars selling access to his father while the latter served as vice president under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017 and that Joe participated in his son\u2019s shady activities. Democrats contend that the GOP has yet to connect the dots between Hunter Biden<\/a> pulling in $20 million from companies in corrupt countries and his father Joe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\"Obama Video<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That is nonsense. Millions of dollars flowed through a dozen shell companies to numerous Biden family members, Hunter paid bills for Joe and Jill, Joe met with his son\u2019s business associates, long-time FBI informants claim that Joe and Hunter both took $5 million bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch and eyewitnesses \u2013 former partners of Hunter\u2019s \u2013 have publically said Joe profited from his son\u2019s dealings.<\/p>\n

Why did Obama not put a stop to activities that surely tested ethical and legal boundaries? After all, we know that Hunter\u2019s dealings raised red flags in his White House.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Four years ago George Kent, a career State Department official, revealed to congressional investigators in closed-door testimony that in 2015 he had alerted a senior official at the White House that Hunter Biden being on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company, might constitute a conflict of interest. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Ex-Coca-Cola Video<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kent was anxious about Hunter\u2019s position at Burisma because then-vice president Joe Biden, Obama\u2019s designated point person on Ukraine, was set to lecture that country\u2019s officials about cracking down on corruption. “Regardless of whether anything is wrong, it looks terrible,” Mr. Kent told the White House official.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kent said he worried that Ukrainian officials would see Hunter Biden as a conduit for currying influence with his father. After all, there is no other possible explanation for Hunter Biden<\/a>, who had no knowledge of natural gas or Ukraine, raking in $83,333 a month to serve on Burisma\u2019s board. An amount, incidentally, that was sliced in half the minute Joe left the White House and that was described by Burisma\u2019s CEO as “the highest in the company and higher than the standard director\u2019s monthly fees.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Hunter Video<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As to currying influence with the then-VP, a credible FBI informant has reported that Burisma\u2019s CEO paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each to secure the firing of Viktor Shokin, a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The “nothing to see here” crowd in the liberal media has refuted Hunter and Joe\u2019s role in the firing of Shokin, but the fact remains that the prosecutor was sacked, and that the investigation into Burisma, which has been described as “dormant” but not dead, in fact was closed.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

In addition, Mike McCormick, a former stenographer for the White House, has claimed that Jake Sullivan, then Deputy Assistant to President Obama, told reporters that one of the missions of Vice President Joe Biden\u2019s trip to Ukraine (days after Hunter Biden joined Burisma\u2019s board<\/a>) was to secure U.S. investment for that country\u2019s energy sector. Months later, Congress delivered $50 million, which benefited Burisma, among others. McCormick has charged Joe Biden with “malfeasance” and offered to testify before a grand jury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We know that the Obama White House was fully aware of Hunter Biden\u2019s activities. A piece in the New Yorker about Biden\u2019s son reported that “On May 13, 2014, after Hunter\u2019s role on the Burisma board was reported in the news, Jen Psaki, a State Department spokesperson, said that the State Department was not concerned about perceived conflicts of interest, because Hunter was a “private citizen.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, it has been reported that Amos Hochstein, the Obama\u2019s special envoy for energy policy, raised concerns about Hunter\u2019s Burisma affiliation personally with Joe Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Secretary of State John Kerry, according to a report<\/a> from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs “falsely claimed he had no knowledge about Hunter Biden\u2019s role on Burisma\u2019s board.” But, the committee writes: “Kerry was briefed about Hunter Biden, Burisma and [his stepson Chris] Heinz the day after Burisma announced Hunter Biden joined its board.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, Sullivan, Kerry, and Hochstein knew about Hunter\u2019s sleazy dealings; undoubtedly Obama knew as well. Is that why he failed to endorse Joe Biden\u2019s presidential ambitions in 2016 and backed Hillary Clinton<\/a> instead? Does Obama\u2019s knowledge of Biden, Inc.\u2019s dishonorable dealings explain his tepid enthusiasm for Joe in the 2020 race?<\/p>\n

These questions will be asked. Just recently, Florida Republican Rep. Greg Steube<\/a> delivered articles of impeachment against Joe Biden, including allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice. The pressure on the unpopular president to exit the 2024 race will only build. The longer he waits, the more frantic Democrats will be to find a last-minute candidate able to vault into the limelight.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Michelle Obama is the obvious choice. But she, too, may be tarred by Hunter and Joe Biden\u2019s tawdry business schemes. As Obama reportedly said: “Don\u2019t underestimate Joe\u2019s ability to f**k things up.”<\/p>\n
