Meet the Bidens: A tax dodging daughter... an access selling brother... and a sister-in-law flush with foreign cash. If you think Hunter is shady, says DAVID MARCUS, read what else is being revealed about Joe's family

Less than a week ago, House Republicans launched a formal impeachment inquiry into the 46th president – and, oh boy, the Bidens sure are keeping these investigators busy.

New evidence emerged appearing to link the Biden clan to yet another influence peddling operation.

I know what you're thinking: what did Hunter do this time?

Well, wait – this is a family affair and the latest allegations ensare Jim, Joe's little brother.

Then, before America could digest that bombshell another dropped - one of the Biden brood is not paying their bills to Uncle Sam.

It turns out that the First Son isn't the only one in trouble with the IRS.

Joe's daughter, Ashley, reportedly owed $5,000 in income taxes from 2015 to 2021.

Sure, this pales in comparison to troubled Hunter failing to pay $1.4 million to the Feds - but what is it about Joe's kids allegedly ripping of the government?

It's almost as if they think the rules don't apply to them. I kid, of course, they don't.

After all, they learned from the best.

Jim Biden was secretly recorded by the FBI back in the 1990s when he was hired by disgraced trial lawyer Richard 'Dickie' Scruggs. Scruggs later plead guilty to an unrelated scheme to bribe a judge.

Speaking to the Washington Post this weekend, Dickie claimed that he paid Jim a cool $100,000 in 1998 for one reason and one reason only.

Scruggs, at the time, was overseeing a case against Big Tobacco and eying a potential $368 billion judgement, but he needed Congress to waive protections shielding the cigarette companies from the lawsuit.

Enter Jim Biden.

Senator Joe Biden was skeptical of the bill at first, but he came around and voted for it.

'I probably wouldn't have hired [Jim] if he wasn't the senator's brother,' Dickie blabbed, adding '[Jim] didn't brag about it, or talk about it, he didn't have to, he was the man's brother.'

In the end, the legislation failed but Scruggs says he was happy with the effort. 'Jim was a help, and Joe gave us some good advice,' he told the Washington Post.

Hmmm… sound familiar?

Hunter's business partner Devon Archer testified that Hunter was involved in a similar relationship with the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.

'Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn't have the [Biden] brand attached to it,' Archer testified under oath.

Come on, it's plain as day. The Biden family business was selling access to Joe – and business was good.

The question for House investigators is: did Joe Biden take a cut from the grift?

If that can be proven, then the President faces the very real possibility of impeachment and removal from office. Meanwhile, things are going from bad to worse for the Bidens.

Before the House voted to formalize the impeachment investigation last week, Hunter defied a Congressional subpoena and stepped up to the microphones outside the Capitol building to announce, 'my dad was not financially involved in my business.'

Medieval monks didn't craft their illuminated manuscripts as carefully.

The official line on Biden's involvement has now gone from Papa Joe 'never talked business' with Hunter, to Joe was not 'in business' with Hunter to this latest deflection.

The question that ought to be on the lips of every reporter is: if Joe wasn't 'financially' involved, how exactly was he involved?

Over at the White House, Press Secretary Karinne Jean Pierre admitted that the President was 'familiar' with Hunter's mendacious monologue before it was delivered.

I'm sorry, what? The President of the United States knew his son was about to break the law and ignore the subpoena?

Now, we're tip-toeing around obstruction. Hunter, maybe, you should just hang back.

But for all the probes and maneuvering in Congress, there's something else going on here.

It's open season on the Biden crime family!

Even if this impeachment inquiry fails to uncover 'high crimes and misdemeanors,' it is a millstone around the neck of the Biden 2024 campaign.

Don't take it from me. Barack Obama is growing concerned. According to a source close to the former president, he 'feels that Democrats could very well lose.'

A new Monmouth poll released Monday shows an all-time high 61 percent of Americans disapprove of the job the President is doing.

And if this last week is any indication that number may keep rising.

The formal inquiry means that more Americans will now know the truth of the unethical extended members of First Family and the millions they made from foreign entities from peddling the 'Biden brand.'

Perhaps, most people already know about Hunter and Burisma – and Uncle Jim and Dickie Scruggs. But this inquiry keeps climbing the family tree.

Have you meet Jim's wife, Sara Biden? America soon will. The House has asked her to voluntarily appear for a transcribed interview.

Sara cut Joe Biden two checks totalling $240,000 – even as she and Jim received payments from a Chinese energy company funnelled through Hunter Biden's bank accounts. They say it was a 'loan repayment,' but I suspect most Americans won't look fondly on payments of any kind being financed by Chinese Communists.

Now, Democrats will howl bloody murder over the supposed unfairness of this all. 'Impeachment is being misused,' they'll cry.

Oh, spare me the hand-wringing!

Perhaps, pre-Donald Trump, impeachment was a non-partisan exercise. But after the Left tried to bring down a Republican president down by any means necessary – it's all fair game.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

This impeachment inquiry is a runaway train – and even the Big Guy can't stop it. 

Whether Joe gets booted from office is almost beside the point. Because this investigation is severely darkening his hopes for re-election.
