Legal Giant Says Biden Secretary of State's 'Lies' on Hunter Could Mean Impeachment

With every drip of revelations about his roles in the Joe Biden presidency, Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s credibility has eroded.

He denies playing a role in a letter from former intelligence officials that all but called the Hunter Biden laptop a Russian disinformation campaign before the 2020 election. In the aftermath of the election, he flat-out lied to a Senate committee about his own contacts with Hunter Biden.

Now, according to a giant of the American legal profession, Blinken could well be impeached for those lies.

In a commentary piece published Tuesday by the New York Post, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a fierce critic of the Biden administration, wrote that Blinken had skirted the bounds of “criminal and impeachable” offenses in his December 2020 statement to the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

Blinken at the time denied, in no uncertain terms, exchanging emails with Hunter Biden while Blinken was serving as deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017.

During the interview, Blinken, who had previously served as then-Vice President Joe Biden’s national security advisor, acknowledged having lunched with Hunter once in Blinken’s office at the State Department but denied having telephone contact with him during those years.

“Did you have any other means of correspondence with him — emails, texts?” he was asked, according to a transcript of the interview.

“No,” Blinken responded, adding his personal contact with Hunter had been limited to chance encounters at Joe Biden’s residence in Delaware, at the vice presidential residence at the Naval Observatory or in Joe Biden’s office.

Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop, however, shows numerous email exchanges between the two men, including one, according to the New York Post, where Blinken wrote on his personal account to Hunter, “You will love this: after you left, Marjorie, the wonderful african american [sic] woman who sits in my outer office (and used to be Colin Powell’s assistant) said to me: ‘He sure is pleasant on the eyes.’ Tell you [sic] wife.”

That’s not exactly the kind of note anyone would write to a stranger.

In an interview Sunday on Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures,” Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson called Blinken’s denial that he’d emailed Hunter Biden a “bold-faced” lie.

“And now, because of more information that’s come out, we know that he lied bold-faced to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden,” Johnson said.

“My guess is he told a bunch of other lies that hopefully we’ll be able to bring him and his wife back in, tell them to preserve their records. You cannot trust Joe Biden. You cannot trust Hunter Biden. You can’t trust the Biden family. You can’t trust so many of the people that they have surrounded themselves with.”
