“Last month I co-hosted the single largest fund-raiser supporting any Democratic candidate ever, for President Biden’s re-election,” former ER actor George Clooney revealed in a New York Times op-ed calling for him to drop out. “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
At the fundraiser, George Clooney called Biden a star instead of telling the truth about him.
Did the movie star reveal his misgivings to any of those who contributed $30 million at the fundraiser? Or to those in his circle of acquaintances who would go on to attend other $2,500 a plate fundraisers for Biden in the Los Angeles area? Or did he keep quiet until now?
According to Clooney, who also got Obama to sign off on his attack, “this isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor who I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.”
That’s not just an indictment of Biden, but of Clooney, Obama and every Dem legislator who kept on raising millions for the presidential campaign of a candidate they knew was unfit.
The Clooney fundraiser outraised the previous $26 million fundraiser by Stephen Colbert, whose presence on CBS’ fading late night show is an undisclosed contribution by Paramount to the Democrats. Colbert has now also suggested that Biden might want to step down.
The two fundraisers were part of a much larger haul during which Biden raised $127 million last month with nearly a quarter of a billion dollars being held by his committees.
Those fundraisers were based on what Democrats, including some of those involved in the fundraisers, have now admitted was a lie: that Biden was a viable presidential candidate.
If even the partial haul of $264 million were treated as a fraud, it would be massive in scope.
After Biden’s debate disaster, one Democrat insider after another has come forward to reveal that they knew about his state. Some of those covering up the fraud benefited materially from the Biden campaign while others used their connection to it to obtain status and influence.
Certainly that would potentially apply to Joe Biden, to close Biden family members, allies and staffers as well as to a much larger circle of political operatives, consultants and donors who concealed the truth about his condition while encouraging donations to his political campaign.
The question “what did the president know and when did he know it” may be only so applicable to Joe Biden whom Special Counsel Robert Hur deemed likely to get off in any criminal case on account of presenting himself as an elderly man with a poor memory, but those around him have no such defense. And those who are now coming forward to denounce Biden are also in some cases potentially exposing themselves to criminal liability for their role in the cover-up.
If they had been selling a car, a house or pushing stock in a company that they knew was being fundamentally misrepresented as fit for its intended purpose, there would be a risk of liability.
Viewed as a fraudulent enterprise, the Biden campaign, its associated committees, PACs and the larger Democrat Party is staggering in scope. It might even be the single greatest fraud in American history in which a tremendous number of people were also aware of the fraud.
Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, who co-founded Fenway Strategies and served on the board of Let America Vote, claimed that, “It was not surprising to any of us who were at the fundraiser. I was there. Clooney was exactly right, and every single person I talked to at the fundraiser thought the same thing.” And Favreau made the decision to keep quiet about it.
“I remember my wife, Emily, turned to me after the fundraiser and said, ‘What are we going to do?’ And I said, ‘Well, there is a debate in a week. Either he’ll do well in the debate, and we’ll think he was just tired because he flew all the way back from Europe, and that’ll be that, or he’ll be like this at the debate and then the whole country will be talking about it. So, here we are.”
The decision by Democrats was to keep covering it up until it couldn’t be covered up anymore.
Some Dems had invested heavily in Biden already and were treating it as a pyramid scheme that they had to try and keep going at all costs. If we believe the Democrat operatives, media figures and other insiders who keep regaling us with how they knew about Biden’s condition, then much of the party continued to raise money even while hiding information that would have dissuaded donors from continuing to contribute to the Biden presidential campaign.
Since the debate, media reports describe donors refusing to donate or to take calls.
“Disastrous.” NBC News quoted a source in the Biden campaign, reporting that “the money has absolutely shut off.” Sources claimed that donations from large donors were “down by possibly half” or even according to one “much more.”
This establishes that donors would not have handed out the tens of millions that they did over the previous weeks, not to mention the much larger sums taken in during previous months, if they had been made aware of Biden’s true state. Democrat insiders knew of that. It is difficult then to see how hiding that information from donors while asking them to donate wasn’t fraud.
There’s potential civil liability for recruiters, much as there can be in a pyramid scheme in which the recruiters are aware that the larger campaign is fraudulent, but there may also be criminal liability as well should state or federal authorities choose to pursue this question.
Democrats are coming forward to accuse the Biden family of one of the largest frauds in history. But many, if not most of them, were aware of the fraud and chose to keep quiet for political, personal or financial reasons. Complicity in the quarter billion dollar fraud may be widespread.
The question is whether state and federal authorities will impose consequences on those who fundraised, who benefited and who kept on lying as long as the millions kept rolling in.
Bill Smith says
Did any one wire money? Wire fraud!
Did anyone use the USPS in this scheme? Mail fraud!
I am sure a creative Prosecuter could throw in RICO viationsbtoo!
Daniel Greenfield says
Indeed. If the shoe were on the other foot, they’d already be wargaming dozens of charges.
Mike Larkin says
This is also relevant to the Supreme’s Presidential immunity ruling.
If those around Sleazy Joe were fully cognizant of the fact that Joe was non compos mentis and were making decisions on his behalf, are they covered by that immunity?
Or are they in fact liable to civil and criminal prosecution for acting in lieu of the President when they didn’t have the legal standing to do so?
Condor335 says
Excellent article, Daniel. You make excellent points about both civil and criminal liability. If only we had a functioning justice system to hold these miscreants to account.
Biden was being called out by many as a fraud well before the 2020 election. He was recognized even then as a demented Manchurian puppet who would be the useful (and useless) front man for Obama’s third term. The entire Biden regime from January 2021 onward has been fraud.. The Democrat Party and their large web of conspirators executed a coup d’état in Nov 2020, and every executive order, policy enforcement, appointment, and political transaction since has been illegitimate.
Many of us have been saying for some time (and well before the 2016 or 2020 elections) that the so-called “Democrat Party” is in reality an organized crime network masquerading as a party.. It should be de-certified, dismembered, and tossed on the ash heap of history. How the western allies dealt with the Nazi Party (NSDAP), its leadership, and other principal actors and enforcers at the end of WWII is instructive. There has to be accountability for their treasonous, seditious, and criminal acts that have produced what may be irreparable damage to the Republic and cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Without that accountability there can be no going forward, no restoring any reputation to the justice system, and no restoring any confidence in government institutions generally by the American public (i..e., citizen voters).
john blackman says
” the question is whether state and fed. authorities will impose consequences on those who fund raised ” ? i would say that would be a NO!! considering since 2016 no one on the left has seen the inside of a prison only a photograph . they will continue to escape any accountability and get away with any and every criminal activity that is possible . fed. and state are all owned by the left as recent events have confirmed and the BLM , ANTIFA violence scam . given the green light by our esteemed cackloharris . all swept into the dustbin of history . as they smile at the adoring crowd that chant 4 more years . you cant make this stuff up .!
john blackman says
hopefully they have done their money . biden has always been a bad investment , as anyone who has done their homework on the empty suit would know . the hollywood elite can obviously afford to lose millions because they will recoup at the next box office paid for by the people who can least afford to do their money . vote with your feet and not replenish their supply of easy money and dont watch the tripe they produce . cancel your subscriptions , go for a walk , play some sport , do anything that will add value to your life not theirs . yes im blathering on , there comes a point where you are heartily sick of the swill that enters your life via the MSM and their affiliates . time to put your steelcap boots into action and kick them to the curb . toning down the rhetoric in practice .

It’s fun to watch the Democrats rolling around in their own merde. They purveyed so many lies for so long they forgot the plot. So they busted themselves, in front of everybody! IVe never paid much attention to Clooney, but I now see he is a moron in a spit bubble. What did he think would happen when he told the world that he, his pals, his President, and his party had been complicit in a long con? We knew this, but where was the advantage in taking their pants off NOW? Was lying so natural to them that they fell asleepwhile the lies spread like a cloud of poison gas, gagging the rest of us?
And Biden’s demand for that CNN debate? Taking his own pants down just in time to demolish his campaign, self-immolating on his own exacting terms? Triggering his Clooneyesque allies to abandon ship in a roaring river of bullshit? Who ARE these people? Who do they think WE are? And what was the point?

As French General Ducrot said at Sedan, 1870: “Nous sommes dans un pot de chambre, et nous y serons emmerdes.”
Allan Goldstein says
George Clooney comes from the anti-Semitic area of northwestern Kentucky. (The only republican to oppose Israel and vote with the “squad” is the congressman who reps that district, by the way.)
Who the hell is he to leverage his acting career for the purpose of Jew killing? That faggot even entered into a loveless marriage with a Jew-killing dyke to raise HER profile in the business of international lawfare!
Biden was to be a puppet for the evil Jew-killing powers that be.
Allan Goldstein says
Oops. I am so angry, I made a simple mistake in my above post…
The anti-Semitic district of Kentucky is the northEASTERN district, which gave rise to George Clooney’s evil worldview.
(The rest of my above post is entirely accurate.)
Toko says
A fool and his money are soon parted.
LC says
Biden’s entire career should be described as a fraudulent enterprise.
That said, he could still win the election – the same way he did in 2020 – via truckloads of ballots delivered to the right polling places. Now is the time to address this issue.
Cassandra says
Were they, in actual fact, raising it for Kamalala the salad spouter? In case no one was enthusiastic enough if they knew the fundraiser was for her?
Steven Brizel says
The head of this crime family now wants to be renominated via a virtual rubber stamp line roll call because he cannot appear and speak extemporaneously in public
Blackdog says
Is Biden allowed to keep the donations if he resigns or does not spend them? If not, where will they go? To his successor? Possibly paid to Hunter and Associates as a consulting fee?
cat says
i believe there are rules or laws? that allow it to be retained if Kamala is the candidate but not if it is someone else.
TRex says
Yes, I believe she will get the money if she is the candidate. If not, I think the DNC gets the money to disperse as they please.
BLSinSC says
Now the DEMOcrats worry about being EXPOSED as the CORRUPT LIARS they KNOW they ARE! AND, they are so STUPID they think that coming out and making these statements is BRAVE!! NO, it’s just ADMITTING how CORRUPT a LIAR you have ALWAYS BEEN! Biden has NEVER been “President”! Now he has the title, money, and perks but that’s it – someone else has been calling the shots!
This will go down in History as either the REBIRTH of Our Great Nation or just the FINAL STAGES of oblama’s “FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING” of the USA! I PRAY for Our REBIRTH!
People need to get ready for some SERIOUS and MASSIVE efforts though! Clearing out 10 MILLION RECENT INVADERS will not be easy nor pretty! All those MILITARY AGE MEN probably will not “self-deport” and probably will not leave PEACEFULLY! Prepare for some “extreme measures”!
And in every case where their is MISERY and MAYHEM — THANK A DEMOcrat!!
Algorithmic Analyst says
Actually it should be relatively easy to deport them. Just make them subject to immediate deportation whenever they come into contact with law enforcement.
Also close the border, of course, and make them ineligible for government benefits..
Kasandra says
C’mon, man. They all knew Biden’s brain had turned to mush but they didn’t care because he was a reliable puppet for the Left. It was only when the debate made his cognitive disability obvious to the general public that they all became constable Renault in Casablanca and turned on him. They knew, they just didn’t care.
TruthLaser says
The way America is run under Biden is worse than how Rick’s casino operated. For that my update of what Renault said uses what Oliver W. Holmes said. “I’m shocked! There’s a fire in the theater!”
TRex says
No, they didn’t care. But they do now. They are now scrambling to find a way to keep him or send him packing, two options with a low level of success of winning the presidency.. One would hope physically eliminating the opposition wasn’t on the list thereby putting the Republicans in the same situation they now find themselves. I wouldn’t put it past them.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Excellent points!!! That’s a big chunk of change …
Boot-Gal says
Who are those most manipulated? The very ones whose ideology acts as a veil against truth. None of these morons noticed Biden’s mental incompetence since he became President? Apparently the rich “Democratic” donors are those for whom their wealth and entitlement has eclipsed their intelligence. They, just like the other low-IQ minions devoted to the Democratic cause, have been effectively propagandized by the mainstream media complex and it took the debate for them to see that the “king” they’ve counted on cannot speak in any kind of cogent manner?
Tsk, tsk!! Go home Clooney and shut up. Your own limitations, antisemitism, and acting have outed you for the idiot you are and have no apparent ability to overcome!!
PatriotLiz says
The other fraud, which was evident since 2019 Democrat primaries was the medical fraud by Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s private physician who became the White House physician once he was President, covering up his neurologic diagnoses and any evidence of neuropathology on his Brain CT scan. No one even asked for it.
There were some decent candidates like Tulsi Gabbard…maybe she was the only one…all the others were declared Socialist Communists.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
It’s time to raise the crime issue of a deliberate cover-up with some red state AGs to see if they will take it to court.
TRex says
That’s what I was thinking. I guess a donor from their State would have to come forward to make the claim of fraud. Otherwise, the court would declare the AG does not have standing. Also, a legitimate diagnosis of “mental incompetence” might be required to validate the claim. Can the President be ordered to undergo a mental evaluation by an independent specialist? Who knows?
Jan VI says
Is this a win-win situation?
Democrats who were foolish and/or evil enough to contribute to the Great Destroyer were defrauded.
AND
The Democrats fraudsters may face legal trouble for their fraud.
Steve says
George Clooney didn’t “write” his op ed in The New York Times because he was appalled by Biden’s OBVIOUS senility. It was written because the mainstream media can no longer get away with handing out bullshit such as “Joe Biden is sharp as a tack”. Clooney no doubt received the green light from the Great Narcissist Barack Hussein Osama, who is enjoying an unconstitutional 3rd term under Biden. If the pretense could have been maintained, Clooney would still be insisting on Joe Biden being the most qualified presidential hopeful.
Moreover, we’re talking about a painfully wooden actor who is about as talented as most People magazine cover-boys, and who’s married to a lawyer who’s a hired gun for Hamas and Hezbollah at the ICJ. Morality and politically sound judgment are not his things. He should go wherever 60-something alumni of People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” contest go-maybe doing infomercials.
Robert Berger says
This is so ironic ! The Democrats haven’t been trying to keep Biden’s alleged “mental and physical decline covered up , because first of all, Biden does not have dementia , and while he does have some physical ailments , he is still. fit to remain president .
In fact, the Republicans have been trying in vain to keep. Trump’s. dementia and serious physical. problems. covered up . Biden’s mind, what little mind he had to begin with, has been destroyed by dementia . His dementia , combined with his appalling innate stupidity , his paranoia , insane narcissism and. mental instability. make him not only totally unfit to be president , but a. ticking time bomb waiting to go off should he be reelected this November .
At least Biden is sane, rational, intelligent ,, competent , level-headed and. has sound judgment .
Mike Mac says
I look at America from 6,000 Kms away in NZ and realise America has fallen.
the World is a dangerous place without America.
Biden has been toast for a while now, so who is running America ?
Why does any sane person keep being polite to Democrats and their supporters?
Nothing will happen here as the DOJ is corrupt and your premier Law enfircement agency, The FBI is not fit for purpose.
How do you ordinary Americans feel about that?
