Nancy Mace Rips Democrats for Claiming No Evidence Exists Against Joe Biden: ‘Total Bullsh*t’
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) slammed Democrats during Thursday’s impeachment inquiry hearing for claiming no evidence exists that President Joe Biden was involved in his family’s alleged influence peddling scheme.
“Total bullshit. It’s a lie,” she said, recounting the Democrats’ “complete and total hypocrisy”:
Today we’re going to bring the facts. today we are going to bring the evidence in 2017 The Joe Biden family teamed up with Chinese company CEFC [China Energy Co.] to make millions off of granting access to Joe Biden, Hunter even arranged for Joe Biden to share office space with the CCP aligned company CEFC.
My Democratic colleagues say none of this is relevant because Joe Biden wasn’t vice president while his family did these shady deals.
Turns out that’s complete and total bullshit. It’s a lie. Hunter Biden referred to access to his father as the keys to his ‘family’s only asset.‘ Those words are going to come back and haunt Hunter Biden and his family forever.
Hearing witness and legal scholar Jonathan Turley appeared to support Mace’s comment. Monetary benefits to Biden family members are benefits to Joe Biden and therefore implicate him in wrongdoing, Turley said:
As I point out in the testimony, courts have found that various benefits to family members can be attributed as a benefit to the principal. That has included everything from throwing a golf contest in the favor of a son of a politician to paying for gifts.
In fact, I was lead counsel in the last…impeachment trial for a judge, and that was the trial in the U.S. Senate. My client, Judge [Thomas] Porteous, was accused, among other things, of benefits going to his family. And so there’s certainly precedent, not only in criminal cases, but in impeachment cases for making that next [claim].

Top VA Executives Were Mistakenly Paid $9.7M in Bonuses. Now the Agency Faces Increased Oversight.
The Department of Veterans Affairs mistakenly paid senior career executives $9.7 million in bonuses earlier this month, and now oversight committees in Congress are demanding answers.
VA announced Friday that the erroneous payments to 170 senior executives at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., which were part of PACT Act incentives to foster critical skills at the department, would be rescinded.
Leaders of both the House and Senate veterans affairs committees are seeking information on how the error occurred. They wrote to VA Secretary Denis McDonough Wednesday, criticizing the VA for padding senior executives' paychecks instead of using the money to fill high-demand vacancies.
"VA leadership managing the program clearly did not follow the intended procedures and guardrails that facilities in the field were required to follow," the lawmakers wrote. "We expect a much higher level of due diligence, oversight, and planning at this executive level."
The letter was sent by the chairmen and ranking Republicans on both committees Reps. Mike Bost, R-Ill., and Mark Takano, D-Calif., along with Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Jerry Moran, R-Kan. who questioned the use of the PACT Act hiring and retention program to pay the bonuses.
"Congress will pursue additional oversight and more aggressive safeguards on existing and future authorities to ensure this does not happen again," they wrote.
The PACT Act allows the VA to hire or provide incentive pay to employees in hard-to-fill posts, such as human resources, information technology, law enforcement and housekeeping to ensure that it has enough staff to support the influx of veterans eligible for health care and benefits.
A review of the critical skill incentive pay, or CSI, in early September uncovered the erroneous payments, according to VA Press Secretary Terrence Hayes.
"Because of this error, we are canceling all CSI payments made to career senior executives at VA headquarters while we take time to review and strengthen the CSI process," Hayes said in a statement Friday. "As a part of that effort, we will be instituting additional reviews and stronger controls for all CSIs awarded to career senior executives."
Hayes noted that the erroneous payments only accounted for less than 3% of the payouts under the critical skills incentive pay program. More than 97% of recipients were those for whom the authorization was created, resulting in 13,165 payments worth roughly $117 million.
He said no political appointees received payments under the program.
The department has asked the inspector general to look into the issue and make recommendations on oversight of the program, moving forward. Hayes said the department planned to work with those affected to establish a repayment schedule to offset any financial hardship the recoupment may cause.
"We deeply apologize to the employees who have been impacted by this error," Hayes said in the announcement, which was first covered by Military Times.

No timeline exists to confirm top leaders for Navy, Air Force
A key Senate panel advanced the nominations of the top uniformed leaders for the Air Force and Navy this week, but lawmakers warned that actually finalizing their confirmations may still take some time.
Senate Armed Services Committee members backed Adm. Lisa Franchetti for the position of chief of naval operations and Gen. David Allvin for the role of chief of staff of the Air Force as part of routine panel work Wednesday. The two nominees to join the Joint Chiefs of Staff were accompanied by 36 other general and flag officer promotions.
Last week, the Senate confirmed Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown to serve as the next Joint Chiefs chairman, Gen. Randy George to serve as Army chief of staff and Gen. Eric Smith to serve as commandant of the Marine Corps. The three promotions were the first defense confirmations advanced by the Senate since early February, a delay caused by political fights over the Defense Department’s abortion access policy.
After the trio of confirmations, several Democratic lawmakers predicted a rush of approvals for the 300-plus senior military posts still awaiting votes. But on Thursday, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., said chamber leaders are currently focused on budget work instead.
“At this point, we are preoccupied with trying to keep the government open,” he said.
