Earlier Thursday, The Daily Beast published a piece called, “Chris Wallace Shuts Down Fox News’ Hunter Biden Fever Dream,” reporting that Fox News’ Wallace, moderator of the first presidential debate, was warning President Trump that he’d better be careful about going after the Biden family at Thursday night’s debate.
Chris Wallace: "One assumes that had Biden taken money from a foreign entity while he was vice president and had he lied—because we’ve seen his tax returns from 2019—that we would have seen the fruits of that investigation by now.”https://t.co/l8Kqo9gNbv

We haven’t seen the statement, but apparently the Biden campaign Thursday night is trying to get ahead of the Hunter Biden story by claiming that if Joe Biden had seen any windfall from shady sources, it would have shown up in his tax returns.
Incredible. Biden campaign statement cites his tax returns to claim he had no links to Hunter Biden's business interests. No one expects them to show up in his tax returns. We've gone from {never discussed} to {his tax returns don't show}. The evidence shows Biden lied. That's it

Yeah, we seem to be beyond Biden’s claim that he never discussed business with his son and had no idea what he was up to.
Joe Biden's campaign is saying "There is no evidence of cash going to Joe Biden." They do not even deny it happened, just that we have not seen the evidence yet. The campaign is collapsing and the media is derelict. There will be a price.

Just heard the Biden defense: No big payoffs in my tax returns. If that was a thing, we’d have to have dropped every criminal case in history.

Does anyone, even Democrats believe that you declare illegally obtained money on your tax returns?

So add tax evasion to the list. Almost forgot.

He didn’t put the meetings where he took bribes on his official calendar and didn’t declare Chinese bribes on his taxes. And media lets it go with that?
— Guy Thompson ?? (Producer) (@GuyThompson_Esq) October 22, 2020
He released his personal returns, not his S Corporation returns. It is possible that the China income was reported on the corporation return as a way to hide the source. As a CPA I would want to see the S corp books, not the returns. Returns dont show source of income.
— CliffymanSolo (@mneu219) October 22, 2020
Notice that Biden released personal taxes, not corporate filings where real dirt lies.Delaware is a 'privacy and asset protection haven' it does not require disclosure of shareholders of a corporation or members identities.
Oh. We can't talk about that?

What's even more incredible is the number of journalists who will 'verify' it and then repeat it and amplify it. "Of course Biden didn't engage in criminal public corruption because he never declared the money to the IRS.?
