"SNIP.........

“These records actually show that President Biden was the one who stepped in to help family members when they needed support, including by providing short term loans to his brother,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the committee’s top Democrat, said in a statement.

Raskin added that the 1,400 pages of records Republicans got from their subpoenas, which asked banks for several years of records relating to the president’s brother and son, show no wrongdoing, but do reveal “payments for things like groceries, vet visits, and plumbing repairs.”

HuffPost obtained check images and a spreadsheet reflecting wire transfer records that mostly corroborate Raskin’s claim about the $200,000 transaction from March 2018. The documents suggest an account connected to Joe Biden sent James Biden $40,000 in July 2017 and $200,000 in January 2018, and that James Biden paid the money back without interest. The wire transfer records do not say, however, that the payments to James Biden were loans.

Paul Fishman, an attorney representing James Biden, called the Oversight Committee’s description of the $200,000 repayment check from his client to Joe Biden highly misleading.

They don't recognize caritas when they see it. To them, it looks suspect.

Or they might say, “If he was helping his brother, why didn't he brag about it like we do?”

That will be the real red meat bombshell.

I still won't be surprised if there is an indictment in the works.

This should have been wrapped up months ago.

they will believe it... and if 30% of the population believes it the disinformation will have been a success. A minority, but still enough to do real damage ! That's how that works.
