RE: Hunter Biden and suspicious activity reports....

A SAR report does not mean there is any criminal activity going on. Banks “red flag” all transactions over $10,000 wires, etc.

We do not know if there was any criminality involved at all. Almost all of what they are claiming in their TV appearances are conjectures, wishes, and slander

The GOP wants to make it sound criminal, when it is just flagging the transfer of monies from overseas that are over $10,000. Because it has “suspicious“ in the name, they will use that to claim it’s illegal.

Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR)

Under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), financial institutions are required to assist U.S. government agencies in detecting and preventing money laundering, and:
* Keep records of cash purchases of negotiable instruments;
* File reports of cash transactions exceeding $10,000 (daily aggregate amount); and
* Report suspicious activity that might signal criminal activity (e.g., money laundering, tax evasion).

No facts necessary... just implications and unsupported suggestions. It's the Republican way.
