First, let us review history of 'Benedict Arnold'. General Benedict Arnold of the American Revolutionary Army sold out the American Revolution to the British to satisfy his 'trophy bride'. He needed money to please his trophy bride.

During the Obama Administration, then Vice President Joe Biden made a trip to China. After which, China gave Joe's son Hunter billion dollar check for Joe selling out the United States to China.

I guess that makes Joe Biden a BILLION DOLLAR traitor of the United States, but the News Media and the Democratic party, as well as others ignore 'this insignificant fact' [/sarcasm off]

President Trump is the opposite of Joe Biden. He is a Patriot. President Trump is trying to make the Chinese play fair - though [I guess] China can afford to bribe [and spy on] Democratic politicians [Diane Feinstein] is an example.

Thanks for posting this. I had not seen this until now

Biden: Just following in Bill Clinton’s foot steps ...

One big difference: Until Arnold conspired with the British, he had contributed greatly to the Patriot cause. That’s why his treason was so shocking. Biden has contributed virtually nothing.

[YogicCowboy]

Which is why some see Sessions as Arnold.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Before his sellout of West Point to the British, Arnold would have been one of our greatest Generals ever. I’ve seen it argued that the way he was treated badly by the Continental Congress, most people would have switched sides.

Biden has no history of being on the good guy’s side, ever.

[dp0622]

Arnold was a traitor. But even he doesn’t deserve to be compared to the likes of Biden.

IIRC, he did sustain an injury fighting for us and and something about not getting promoted or taking something as an insult made him switch.

It’s an AWFUL thing to do, but at least he didn’t pretend he was on our side at that point.

Biden would have you believe he cares about america. If you’re idiotic enough to believe it.

[Redleg Duke]

Excellent point. The Continental Congress “created” the Traitor, Benedict Arnold.

A characteristic of politicians endemic still today!

[jazminerose]

A family member told me the other day that he voted for Trump on the assumption that Trump was the only one not subject to being bought off.

The kid wasn’t wrong.

One big difference: Until Arnold conspired with the British, he had contributed greatly to the Patriot cause. That’s why his treason was so shocking. Biden has contributed virtually nothing.

Indeed. Had it not been for Arnold's actions at Valcour Island and Bemis Heights, the Patriot cause likely would have failed. However, I can't think of anything positive Biden has done for this country since he came on the scene four decades ago.

Biden is bad news, but, no, the quintessential 'Benedict Arnold' of our time was John McCain.

[jmcenanly]

Major General Benedict Arnold fought bravely at the Battle of Saratoga, where he was gravely injured. I don’t think that Joe Biden gave as much to his country as this infamous traitor.

[Old Yeller]

Biden just doing what the Clintons did. Hangemall

[topher]

I guess this is a ‘slap-in-the-face’ of General Benedict Arnold...

Is Joe Biden China's HORSE in the 2020 Presidential Election? A Billion Dollars says YES!!!

[Liz]

During the Obama Admin, then-VP Joe Biden took his son Hunter on an official trip to China.
China then gave Hunter a billion dollar check....making it likely that Biden sold out the United States to China.

And what was Obama's cut of the deal?

========================================

INSIDE THE SHADY PRIVATE EQUITY FUND OF BIDEN AND KERRY'S KIDS

EXCERPT--Peter Schweizer in his new book, “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,” details a number of ethical violations on both sides of the political aisle. One example: the little-noticed private equity firm run by the sons of Democrats Joe Biden and John Kerry, as detailed in this exclusive first excerpt.

The two men became close while serving for several decades together in the US Senate. The two “often talked on matters of foreign policy,” says Jules Witcover in his Biden biography.So their sons going into business together in June 2009 was not exactly a bolt out of the blue. But with whom their sons cut lucrative deals while the elder two were steering the ship of state is more of a surprise.

What Hunter Biden, the son of America’s vice president, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), were creating was an international private equity firm. It was anchored by the multi-million Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The new firm would be populated by political loyalists and positioned to strike profitable deals overseas with foreign governments and officials with whom the US government was negotiating.

Hunter Biden, Vice President Joe Biden’s youngest son, had gone through a series of jobs since graduating from Yale Law School in 1996, including the hedge-fund business. By the summer of 2009, the 39-year-old Hunter joined forces with the son of another powerful figure in American politics, Chris Heinz. Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania had tragically died in a 1991 airplane crash when Chris was 18. Chris, his brothers, and his mother inherited a large chunk of the family’s vast ketchup fortune, including a network of investment funds and a Pennsylvania estate, among other properties. In May 1995, his mother, Teresa, married Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. That same year, Chris graduated from Yale, and then went on to get his MBA from Harvard Business School.

Joining them in the Rosemont venture was Devon Archer, a longtime Heinz and Kerry friend. The three friends established a series of related LLCs. The trunk of the tree was Rosemont Capital, the alternative investment fund of the Heinz Family Office. Rosemont Farm is the name of the Heinz family’s 90-acre estate outside Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania. The small fund grew quickly. According to an email revealed as part of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Rosemont described themselves as “a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz,” with Devon Archer as “Managing Partner.”The partners attached several branches to the Rosemont Capital trunk, including Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners, and Rosemont Realty. Of the various deals in which these Rosemont entities were involved, one of the largest and most troubling concerns was Rosemont Seneca Partners.

Rather than set up shop in New York City, the financial capital of the world, Rosemont Seneca leased space in Washington, DC. They occupied an all-brick building on Wisconsin Avenue, the main thoroughfare of exclusive Georgetown. Their offices would be less than a mile from John and Teresa Kerry’s 23-room Georgetown mansion, and just two miles from both Joe Biden’s office in the White House and his residence at the Naval Observatory. In short, the Chinese government was literally funding a business that it co-owned along with the sons of two of America’s most powerful decision makers.

Hunter Biden also had connections to jailed crook Allen Stanford
WSJ, By Susan Schmidt, Steve Stecklow and John R. Emshwiller, Feb. 24, 2009 12:01 a.m. ET

A fund of hedge funds run by two members of Vice President Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by companies controlled by Texas financier R. Allen Stanford, who is facing Securities and Exchange Commission accusations of engaging in an $8 billion fraud.

The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund. Stanford-related companies marketed the fund to investors......--snip--rest at WSJ paywall

“...Had it not been for Arnold’s actions at Valcour Island and Bemis Heights, the Patriot cause likely would have failed...” [Fiji Hill, post 10]

True as this sentence is, it understates the case.

Benedict Arnold had been a merchant-vessel master before the war, but his talent for soldiering soon became evident.

With help from Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys, he took Fort Ticonderoga on 10 May 1775 without a shot.

In September 1775, Arnold led an expedition into the Maine wilderness to capture Quebec. Afflicted with bad maps and a hurricane, they got there through great privation and suffering; on 31 December 1775 American forces came within inches of taking the city. Richard Montgomery, the other American commander, was killed and Arnold wounded.

American forces began a slow retreat from Canada. Recovering, Arnold organized, armed and trained the fleet of small vessels that was built at Whitehall, at Lake Champlain’s southern tip. They clashed (as noted) with the British fleet near Valcour Island; much of the American force was destroyed, but Arnold & men fought a delaying action that ultimately halted British advance until the following year.

Arnold held no official command position at Bemis Heights in October 1777, but the troops followed him regardless. He was wounded again; Horatio Gates got the credit, an affront to the vain, impetuous Arnold.

George Washington assigned Benedict Arnold as military commander at Philadelphia. It may have been Washington’s biggest blunder: Arnold was a bold and imaginative field commander. Unused to garrison life, he dealt poorly with the intrigues, petty politics, and minutiae of civilian affairs. He also fell for the vivacious Margaret Shippen, 18-yeard-old daughter of a prominent British Loyalist. He was soon mired in controversy over administration and accused of corrupt dealings; his riches, garnered during his prewar business activities, were squandered and he was soon in debt.

What-ifs are always chancy, but if Arnold had been killed in action at Quebec or Saratoga, he’d bask deservedly in the front rank of early US military heroes. And if George Washington had been less kind, Arnold may have worked himself into an early grave, but avoided scandal and treason.

As military amateurs, with no heritage of orthodoxy, Americans of the 1770s had little precedent to guide them, but also no burden of long history to hamper them. Not realizing some deeds are “impossible,” they took big risks and came up with notable innovations, especially in combined land/sea operations. Several books by James L Nelson recount exciting true tales about AWI: _George Washington’s Secret Navy_, _Benedict Arnold’s Navy_, and _George Washington’s Greatest Gamble_.
