New evidence makes Hunter Biden’s ‘business’ deals reek worse than ever
New York Post ^ | September 14, 2020 | Peter Schweizer and Jacob McLeod

Posted on 09/14/2020 6:12:59 PM PDT by karpov

Foreign entities looking to influence American politics sometimes devise lucrative commercial deals involving a politician’s family. While the deals can, and do, ensnare politicians of all stripes, those involving the Biden family are particularly troubling: The transactions implicate US national security.

While Joe Biden served as vice president, his son Hunter received offers from foreign governments and oligarchs in areas where the he had little or no expertise. That his foreign partners included a rival state, Communist China, make these arrangements particularly brazen, even by Washington’s swampy standards.

Newly released Secret Service travel records for Hunter paint a clearer picture of how extensive these efforts were. The documents, reviewed by Judicial Watch, show that between 2009 and 2014, Hunter made 411 trips across 29 countries. While some of those trips were perhaps leisure and others related to his volunteer work for the World Food Program, many of them appear to be connected to deals that he or his associates either secured or sought with foreign governments and oligarchs.

For example, Hunter visited China five times between 2009 and 2014. Most notoriously, he traveled with his father aboard Air Force Two in December 2013 as part of an official visit with Chinese officials. Ten days after their return to Washington, Hunter and his associates partnered with the state-owned Bank of China to formally establish BHR, a new, first-of-its-kind fund aimed at making investments outside China through the newly established Shanghai Free Trade Zone.

When this deal was first revealed in Peter Schweizer’s book “Secret Empires,” Team Biden attempted to paint Hunter as a passive participant involved in the formation of BHR, arguing that “other business partners” had laid the groundwork for it in a June 2013 meeting.

This was known months ago, and not a damn thing has been done or will be done to Hunter.

During all of these deals, Hunter Biden sat on the firm’s board of directors. His close friend and business partner Devon Archer was BHR’s vice chairman and a member of the investment committee.

That name sounds familiar - I think he knows Mitt Romney ;>)

Geez. How can they make it sound worse than:

  • $83,000 per month for a cushy no show job

  • In a country you know nothing about

  • In a language you don't speak or understand

  • And in a profession you have zero knowledge or expertise in

  • And all because your father is the Vice President of the United States of America

How can they make it reek worse than that???

In the unlikely event that any debates happen I hope the President hammers this...and hammers it hard.

He's telling an Arkansas court that he's too broke to pay child support but when the City of New York levies a $450K tax bill he pays it off within days.

Biden defends his son: Hunter is an 'honorable guy' Washington Examiner ^ | February 16, 2020 | John Gage
FR Posted on 2/16/2020, 11:15:31 AM by kevcol

Joe Biden insisted his son Hunter is a good person who does not deserve the attacks President Trump has made toward him. "My son's a brilliant, honorable guy who — who feels so guilty for being put in this spot — that he put me in this spot," the former vice president said Sunday in an interview with NBC.

Host Chuck Todd described the attacks on Hunter by the president as "cruelty." (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ..

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

This pic is the epitome of Joe Biden and his families gross corruption. Shows exactly what they think of taxpaying Americans.

We exist only to serve them and the greedy family's endless get-rich-quick schemes.

REALITY CHECK: On an official tax-paid govt trip to China, then-VP Biden brought along Hunter and daughter Finnegan for a family outing paid for by taxpayers.

Lookit her---the moronic grand-daughter waves at Chinese dignitaries like it was old home week, like she's some sort of diplomat.

Hunter's salivating to clinch another deal on the taxpayers' dime. He soaked the taxpayers, using govt-sponsored travel to conduct private business, flying on the VP’ s plane.....Air Force Two

Hunter cashed in bigtime, conducted personal business traveling on AF Two and did it all with govt resources.

Even had a Chinese suckup hand-deliver a diamond to his hotel room......just to make sure corrupt Hunter "was bought good." The corrupt trio did all the touristy things available in China.......sucking off the backs of US taxpayers 24/7.
