On Tuesday, Politico published in-depth exposé on financial ties between the former VP'S younger brother, James, and a high-powered D.C. lobbyist.
James and his wife purchased an acre of land in the Virgin Islands for $150,000 in May 2005. A year later, James resold 1/3rd of that acre to Scott Green, a 'national security lobbyist who formerly served a Senate staffer for Joe Biden. Green paid $150,000 for the land, even though tax assessed value was only $38,000. “In effect, James got their money back while keeping most of the land—recouping their investment in just 12 months.
Any money that Green may have lost through the deal was offset when Joe Biden became vice president. In 2010 Green and members of the lobbying firm he founded, the Lafayette Group, were frequent visitors at the Obama-Biden White House.
That year Green’s ties to the Biden clan seemed to be especially beneficial. On April 11, 2010, the Lafayette Group was awarded two taxpayer-funded contracts from FEMA worth a total of $5.8 million.ed.
Other members of the Biden family did just as well. Joe Biden’s other brother, Frank, benefited from $54 million in taxpayer-backed loans to Caribbean nations heavily involved in real estate and solar power projects he was pursuing in the region. ...even though he lacked a background in solar energy or international real estate development.
Similarly, the former vice president’s sister, Valerie, received millions in fees during the 2008 election. Valerie, who served as the campaign manager for her brother’s failed presidential campaign that year, paid her own consulting firm, Joe Slade White & Company, $2.5 million for its services.

Rightly said....”Democrat’s government industry is organized crime”
How about some jail time.
Dragged kicking and screaming by Trump to outing the Bidens.
Tell me, how long has the Biden family been honing their skimming off the taxpayer craft? Where have they been the decades Old Joes has been in office?
And what of the Clintons, Pelosi, Feinstein? At what point can we expect to see investigative journalism?
They made gazillions over the years. I wonder how much they gave to charities?
If they get Bidens won’t be long before we’ll see a Clinton/Obama connection woven in.
Biden is being outed by other Democrats. Not Trump.
They’ve concluded that his senility and handsiness make him just too much of a high-risk proposition to have on the ballot in November. Their bolt-on appendage, the mainstream media, is now doing its duty.
My grandfather was an old-school Democrat. He taught me that there IS NO BLOOD SPORT like Democrat-on-Democrat in a primary.
The knife in Joe’s back is blue.
it’s been published Biden gave ‘the least’ to charities.
Which would account for Political’s investigation.
You know, you’re probably right.
Good old kindly “Uncle Joe” who has been a faithful public servant all these years? Nah, there’s no way he could possibly be corrupt.
“Know what I was most proud of?” former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said last week (June 2019) during a campaign event. “For eight years, there wasn’t one single hint of a scandal or a lie.”
Nope. Not a whiff of corruption.
Why are you all picking on good old Slow Joe? Rumors of his corruption have all been debunked many times.
Now they are likely to be stuck with Breadline Bernie as their nominee as the Fake Indian is fading fast and getting no traction at all.
But the irony is that all of this probably wouldn't be the case had the Democrats not used Trump's benign phone call with the Ukranian president as a basis for impeachment articles.
“Establishment” would be ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX/CNN/MSNBC. So far, crickets.
Fingers crossed!
My copy of "Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite" just arrived yesterday.
“Sly and the Family Grift”
The Criminal, the Vice Criminal, the Sociopath of State, etc., etc., etc.
I never thought this level of EVIL could exist in the body politic.
No justice, no republic.
>>“In effect, James got their money back while keeping most of the land—recouping their investment in just 12 months.
Obama had a similarly shady deal on some real estate involving his Chicago house, I believe while he was a Senator.
From the time that Trumps team took the stage in the senate, they injected the Biden’s and highlighting Ukrainian corruption. And while we were all watching/listening, hooting and hollering, hell ya, throw that truth out there, there was no way it what Trumps team had unleashed wasn’t going to beg for witnesses to it. While at the same time just about everyone here on FR was additional witnesses and screaming for the pubbies/McConnell to shut it down, dam Romney, Collins, Murkowski, whoever.
Trumps team surely didn’t inject all that information about Biden’s, Kerry’s stepson/corruption without Trump not knowing the strategy.
Additional witnesses surely had to be forthcoming given all the new information. It’s only logical.
I know there’s a strong element of people on this forum that have whatever issues with the 17th letter of the alphabet that’s been saying “Trust the plan”, “Think logically”, but has been saying exactly as this headline reads, “The dam has been opened” which is exactly what 17 has been saying. When the dam openings, nothing can stop it, it’ll be a flood.
Sure seems to me that it’s all finally starting to happen and according to plan.
With Biden going down and sanders being pushed out, Buttigege is unelectable that leaves Warren..... unless Hillary slips in. With her former people now on the election Committee it’s possible they’re preparing for the witch to pick up her broom and ride if all appears lost otherwise.
Dam breaking...or just a modified limited hangout...?
