Probably the only person who would have been hurt by the sanctions, Donald Trump. According to CBS News, those sanctioned <em>&#8220;are prohibited from entering the country and any assets they hold there are frozen.&#8221;<\/em> Consequently, this development was raised during the daily press briefing at the White House by CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang. And press secretary Jen Psaki handled it with her customary grace and a bit of snark:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Jiang:<\/strong> Sanctions were imposed today by Russia against yourself, President Biden, and other top U.S. officials. Do you have a response to that? And how will it impact any of you, if at all?<br \/>\n<strong>Psaki:<\/strong> I would first note that President Biden is a junior, so they may have sanctioned his dad, may he rest In peace.

Russia&#8217;s largest banks, including the Central Bank of Russia, have been cut off from the SWIFT financial messaging system. And there has also been a ban on Russian oil and gas imports into the U.S. Numerous real estate properties, yachts, and other assets have been seized. And a broad international coalition has committed to cease doing business with Russia, shutting down their manufacturing on everything from cars to computers.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Trump felt compelled to address this matter in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realLizUSA\/status\/1503787749299601410\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a> tweeted by his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51685\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong>. He ranted incoherently that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRussia just sanctioned Joe Biden. While that is a terrible thing, in so many ways, perhaps it will now be explained why the Biden family received 3.5 million dollars from the very wealthy former Mayor of Moscow\u2019s wife. During our Presidential Debate, \u201cmoderator\u201d Chris Wallace, then of Fox, would not let me ask that question. He said it was inappropriate. Perhaps that\u2019s why Biden has been so \u201cslow on the draw\u201d with Russia. This is a really bad conflict of interest that will, perhaps now, be fully and finally revealed!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So in the wake of Russia&#8217;s pitiful sanctions, Trump thought it would be a good idea to malign America&#8217;s President and his son, Hunter. How patriotic of him. Never mind that Trump&#8217;s speculation that these sanctions might somehow <em>&#8220;reveal&#8221;<\/em> something about Hunter&#8217;s business affairs. Obviously they won&#8217;t. The allegations, which are false, have nothing whatsoever to do the sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Trump just wanted to wedge a totally unrelated obsession of his into the discussion.

After years of babbling about this, there is still no evidence of any wrongdoing by Hunter Biden.
