Daily Caller ^ | October 24, 2020 | Chuck Ross

Hunter Biden wanted to avoid registering as a foreign agent as part of a deal with a Chinese energy company, according to text messages obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

In a message to Tony Bobulinski on May 1, 2017, Hunter Biden also proposed creating a U.S.-based shell company so that the joint venture could bid on contracts with the U.S. government.

A day after sending the message, Hunter Biden set up a meeting with his father, Joe Biden, and Bobulinski in Los Angeles.

He claims that Joe Biden is referenced as an equity shareholder in early documents for the Chinese business deal.

The Bobulinski revelations fill in a lot of what was omitted in the Sep. 23 Senate Homeland Security Comittee report.

Bobulinski was so outraged at the findings of the report, he texted James Biden about the $5 Million “loan” going to the Biden family (he mentioned some of that at the Nashville press conference last Thursday.

Now it’s imperative for Ron Johnson to interview Bobulinski before the FBI orders him to clam up.

Hunter might be careful about which DC area parks he goes jogging in.

It wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility that weird Eastern European tricks might be in the works for him (Polonium tea, poisoned umbrella tips, etc.).

This is a Tom Clancy novel playing out in real life.

I think we are going to find out that a lot of family members of dc swamp critters have been getting filthy ritch off influence pedaling. The gopE is not going to be immune in all this.

Jim Biden seems to be waist-deep in this putrid affair, too Heck, the whole family, including Dr. Jill, should have the book thrown at them.

For now, the political fallout will be much too large to be censored or contained. In a sane world, Biden should be toast. Nothing is certain of course but I’m optimistic that voters are coming around to the idea that Biden is compromised, corrupt, and too old.

After a post-election axing of Wray and Barr, the basis of prosecution should be rolled out. However, it may only accelerate after PDJT’s Executive Order on stripping down the second tier of federal agencies takes effect (after the inauguration IIRC).

Yep. With so much shady overseas cash from several countries, several GOPers must have been involved. Kerry’s stepson was in the Chinese venture as well, though I think he became leery of its direction and bailed out from the project.

Lindsey has likely been warned by the BCF (Biden Crime Family) that if they go down, they’ll drag him along with them.

McCain and Klobuchar were on the same Ukraine trip as Graham. And of course there’s a Romney connection to Burisma as well.

My hope is that Graham squeaks by in his election, then gets talked into squealing about everything he knows so he can retire early next year. Gov. McMaster would hopefully appoint a better Senator in his place.

Sounds like the "loan" was a way to cut the other partners, including Bobulinski, out of the money they were supposed to be making. If I were Tony, I think I'd be pretty pissed too.

“Joe Biden has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever. He has never held stock in any such business arrangements nor has any family member or any other person ever held stock for him,” said Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates in a statement to The Wall Street Journal.

You would think that Gropin' Joe would be a little bit interested in how many laws his family is breaking. Could produce really bad optics.

Per Fedzilla...

"WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING FARA? The penalty for a willful violation of FARA is imprisonment for not more than five years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both. Certain violations are considered misdemeanors, with penalties of imprisonment of not more than six months, a fine of not more than $5,000, or both. There are also civil enforcement provisions that empower the Attorney General to seek an injunction requiring registration under FARA (for applicable activities) or correcting a deficient registration statement."

Isn’t this what they threatened Flynn to go after his son? Flynn and son had not registered as a foreign agent.

I’d be more worried, if I were Hunter, about being Epsteined.

Yes, they threatened Flynn and his son with FARA.

It’s ok though, the law only applies to the little people.
