Hunter Biden Offered $10 Million Annually by Chinese Energy Firm for ‘Introductions Alone,’ Email Shows

Hunter Biden entered into a consulting contract with China’s largest private energy company that initially earned him $10 million a year “for introductions alone,” according to leaked emails.

In an email chain from Aug. 2, 2017, Biden discussed a deal with the former chairman of CEFC China Energy, Ye Jianming, saying Ye agreed to change the terms of Biden’s three-year consulting contract with CEFC, which initially promised Biden $10 million per-year “for introductions alone,” to make it “much more lasting and more lucrative,” the New York Post reported, although the authenticity of the Biden emails has not been independently confirmed.

The new deal included a 50 percent equity stake in a holding company created by Ye rather than the $10 million in annual cash that had been previously negotiated.

“The chairman changed that deal after we me[t] in MIAMI TO A MUCH MORE LASTING AND LUCRATIVE ARRANGEMENT to create a holding company 50% percent [sic] owned by ME and 50% owned by him,” Biden wrote in one email.

In the same email chain, Biden discussed deals with the CEFC that he said were “interesting to me and my family.”

Another email sent to Biden on May 13, 2017 had the subject line “Expectations” and identified Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC.”

CEFC reportedly went bankrupt this year. Ye, who was connected to Chinese military and intelligence, has been missing since 2018, when he was arrested by Chinese authorities.

The leaked emails and other data were found on a MacBook Pro laptop that was dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop in April of last year, according to the owner of the shop.

The FBI has seized the laptop. The shop owner made a copy of the data, which former New York City Mayor Rudy

More and more, it's looking like liberals and Democrats at the FBI either covered for Biden or chose not look for incriminating information. It is fortunate that the shop owner made a copy of the disk in lieu of the unpaid bill. He may yet be able to parlay this into a % of book royalties if there's an intrepid author willing to wade through copious amounts of data to weave a coherent narrative of Democratic party corruption.

Seems the Bidens are as corrupt as the Clintons.

Raise your hand if you’re surprised.

[Jeff Chandler]

I wonder if the FBI didn’t wiped the hard drive. Like with a cloth.

At the speed the FBI operates - look for action in 2025.

It Gets Worse! Obama White House “Hosted” Call To Burisma About Joe’s $1 Billion Extortion Trip
The Conservative Daily Post ^ | 15 October 2020 | Georgette Walrath / FR Posted by ConorMacNessa

Everyone remembers when Joe Biden bragged about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired.....
but thanks to Hunter’s emails, we now know that the Obama White House hosted a call that concerned the 2015 trip.

Although social media is doing its best to suppress evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption and criminal activity while in office,
new emails show that the Obama White House was also involved.

Obama hosted a call with a (A) Democratic public relations company, (B) Burisma, and (C) others.....

The conversation concerned Joe Biden’s upcoming trip..... an official tax-paid trip where Biden boasted on tape
about his extortion threat of $1 billion withheld, if the prosecutor investigating Burisma wasn’t removed.

A lot of IT service personnel, having been burned or sued in the past, make a specific *point* of making a backup before doing any other work if the client states they don’t have a backup. Some of us, like yours truly, make a backup even if the client claims to have one because clients lie. Saved my butt more times than I care to think of.

“Ye, who was connected to Chinese Military and Intelligence”

Yes, corrupt like the Clintons.

Bohai Harvest, the $1.5 billion dollar investment fund that was formed with CCP money for Hunter/Joe days after their visit to China on Air Force Two, focused its “investments” on US companies with nuclear and military-use technologies.

DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY PUT THE UKRANIAN SHAKEDOWN IN WRITING:
Democrats Menendez (D-NJ), Durbin (D-IL), and Leahy (D-VT) wrote to the Ukrainian government in May 2018.

They urged it to continue investigations into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign —

Democrats Menendez (D-NJ), Durbin (D-IL), and Leahy (D-VT) stated in writing that their legislative support for Ukrainian foreign aid would be a factor.

PROOF OBAMA KNEW

Ukraine official to Biden: “You’re not the President”. Joe: “Call him!”
YouTube ^ | 9/25/19 | YouTube/ FR Posted by SilvieWaldorfMD

Check out 0:54 in this video of Biden’s speech when he mentions how the Ukrainians balked at having billions taken away if Ukraine did not fire the prosecutor investigating Hunter.

Two little words not mentioned.

Obama was in on this! Ukraine official to Biden: “You’re not the President”. Joe says: “Call him!”.........Listen closely.....

The computer tech was smart to have made a backup copy of the drive. Smarter still to have passed a copy of the data on to Rudy. Otherwise, the FBI might have done a Seth Rich on the computer tech.

[SmokingJoe]

The hard drive has been duplicated with copies all over the place. The New York Post has its own copy now for starters. And that lady from OANN Chanel Rion has also seen the Hunter Biden video and posted about it. No power on this earth is going to stop the story from spreading.
The New York Post is one of the biggest newspapers in the country and its in the media capital of the world, New York, and its parent company also runs The London Times, The Sun newspaper from London, The Wall Street Journal, plus some newspapers in Australia. There are probably copies of the hard drive in London and Australia as we speak.
The FBI can't do sh*t about it.

[oldenuff35]

And we still have not even approached what Joe Biden’s brother has been raking in off of his VP terms. Joes brother is better and scamming money off of his brothers coat tails then Hunter is.

[dp0622]

So what does the FBI do? They are looking into whether Russia was involved in giving these files or not.

I don’t like to be an armchair quarterback but what happened? Is it hard to find people to replace top FBI officials? Is there a reason Trump didn’t let them go? Is he allowed to? How much of the FBI is infected at this point? I don’t know much about it.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I always wondered by Biden’s reported income was so low compared to other congressmen.

Now we know.

Liz, from the National Review story on the wire today:

In leaked emails from 2014, [Hunter] Biden appears to try to leverage his influence with his father, then-vice president Joe Biden, who was heavily involved in U.S. policy on Ukraine, referring to the elder Biden as “my guy.”

Hunter Biden wrote in an email dated April 13, 2014: “The announcement of my guy's upcoming travels should be characterized as part of our advice and thinking- but what he [Joe Biden] will say and do is out of our hands.”

But Hunter spoke only half the truth.

Yes, he's right: the wacko chatterings that come out of Sleepy Joe's skull are truly unpredictable.

However, Sleepy Joe's actions are HIGHLY predictable.  He is certain to do: 1) something corrupt; 2) something that enriches the Biden Family syndicate; and 3) something that will go against the interests of America and its citizens.

Trump hired this arse Wray as head of the FBI on the recommendation of Christie. Wray was a corporate lawyer who kept christie from being indicted over the Bridgegate nonsense; out of thanks, he got the FBI post as a sinecure. If anything, Wray has been worse than Comey.
