Alejandro Mayorkas Has an Astonishing Baghdad Bob Moment When Questioned About Hur Report

The Hur report, as we've also talked about, has brought about a plethora of frenzied reactions from officials in Joe Biden's administration, including White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who during the Monday press briefing actually claimed Biden didn't need to take a cognitive test because he "proves every day how he operates, how he thinks," an alarming statement if there ever was one.

But Jean-Pierre's remarks paled into comparison to the ones Mayorkas made Sunday about Biden, especially considering his role as a Cabinet member and one who is directly involved in high-stakes meetings with the POTUS on any number of major issues that directly impact border states.

KRISTEN WELKER: We are going to talk about what's happening on Capitol Hill. But first, I do want to talk about that special counsel report that we just discussed. You obviously work very closely with President Biden as a member of his Cabinet, and I wonder, have you ever seen anything that makes you question or concerned about his mental faculties?

SEC. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS: No. And let me take a step back, because I served as a federal prosecutor for 12 years, Kristen. The responsibility of a federal prosecutor is to investigate and learn the facts and apply the law to those facts. The prosecutor did this. The – the special counsel did this in the case, made a conclusion that there is no case, case closed. Then made gratuitous, unnecessary and inaccurate personal remarks, and those are improper. The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented, and focused.

And in another astonishing Baghdad Bob moment, Mayorkas later said Biden's Dept. of Justice, which has targeted parents and Joe Biden's likely general election opponent, has engaged in Hunter Biden favoritism and has looked the other way on neighborhood harassment of conservative Supreme Court Justices, "acts with unflinching integrity."

Hunter Biden Associate Admits He Traded on Family Name in Chinese Business Dealing

One of Hunter Biden's business associates has testified how the president's wayward son used his father to help secure a major business deal with China. In a transcript of his closed-door testimony before Congress, Rob Walker admitted that Hunter's father was the crucial element in securing a deal with the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.

During the hearing, which was conducted by the House Oversight and Judiciary committees as part of Joe Biden's impeachment inquiry late last month, Walker was asked why he used Hunter Biden's letterhead when writing a letter to a leading company executive by the name of Jianjun Zang.

Despite admitting the importance of Hunter's family name and also that Joe Biden had met with most of his son's business associates, Walker maintained his position that the president was not formally involved in any of their dealings.

“To be clear, President Biden, while in office or as a private citizen, was never involved in any business activities we pursued," he said. "Any statement to the contrary is simply false."

Following the interview, The House Oversight Committee confirmed they had evidence that Biden had personally met all the foreign businessmen and oligarchs whom Hunter did business with.
