A majority of U.S. voters say former Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has used his decades-long political career to enrich his family and close friends, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
When asked, 57% of voters said it was either "somewhat" or "very" likely that Biden's inner circle has profited from his nearly 50-years-long career in public office, which includes the elected positions of U.S senator and vice president. Just 28% said they doubted such profiting...

The Majority is CORRECT!
Well apparently that same majority doesn’t care otherwise the polls with Biden ahead would be different.
The Trump campaign needs to hammer this home everyday!
The level of corrupt influence peddling Joe & Family have done is nothing short of criminal.
Yes it would seem you are correct. MSM has managed to suppress both the degree and scope of it. The voters probably see it as somewhat benign instead of the wide scale corruption and influence peddling it was.
Some of that majority is hoping for a piece of the action.
Gee, ya think ???
DURING DEMOCRAT JOE BIDENS VICE PRESIDENTIAL TENURE, HIS 26-YEAR-OLD NIECE COORDINATED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATIONS CHINA APPROACH AS A SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENTS U.S.-CHINA STRATEGIC AND ECONOMIC DIALOGUE.
Casey Owens, his sister's daughter, the latest member of the Biden family to benefit financially or professionally from the former Senators connections, joined the highest-level bilateral economic forum four years after graduating from college and a stint at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
She wielded considerable influence over the direction of U.S.-China relations between 2009 and 2011, as she described her team as advising former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and responsible for coordinat[ing] the priorities within the agenda for the Dialogue and spearhead[ing] the negotiations of proposals.
The appointment triggered no media furore, nor coverage, with the exception of a buried two-sentence mention in a New York Times article from this year.
The piece highlights Bidens penchant for exploiting political office to provide family members with jobs and lucrative contracts, though the criticism was arguably 12 years too late.
Biden, identified as one of the top five senators payments or contributions to a family businesses or employer in a 2008 Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics report, also funneled $3,618 from his 2002 Senate campaign fund to Owens.
An unearthed cable reveals Owens was part of the elite Strategic and Economic Dialogue II planning trip to Beijing as part of the Economic Track delegation alongside State and Treasury Executive and Senior officials. Despite being out of the administration for five years, she attended the Obama administrations final state dinner.
Her proximity to American and Chinese officials casts the rest of the familys China-based business dealings, chiefly those of Hunter Biden, in an interesting and, perhaps, suspicious light.
Hunter, along with other Obama officials offspring, notoriously ran investment firms that inked billion-dollar contracts with Chinese companies, including state-owned enterprises.
Many allege these deals only materialized due to his fathers position. In 2013, for example, then-Veep Biden and his son traveled via Air Force Two to China, and twelve days later, Hunter landed a $1 billion contract with a subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-run Bank of China.
The hiring decision serves as a cautionary tale for what the composition of a potential Biden administration could look like teeming with his family members while those in the private sector profit immensely.

Biden Center Under Investigation for Illegal Donations From China
DB Daily Update | David Blackmon Posted on 5/25/2020, 9:19:56 AM by EyesOfTX
If the label says Biden, it was definitely influenced by China. John Solomon at JustTheNews.com is reporting that The National Legal and Policy Center has asked the U.S. Department of Education to investigate its findings that the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) has over the past several years accepted more than $22 million in anonymous China-originated donations to its Biden Center and failed to properly disclose the contributions. >{? From Solomons report: The complaint, filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, says that over the past three years, the university has accepted around $22 million in anonymous funding from Chinese sources. Thats out of a total of more than $70 million from Chinese donors during that time, the NLPC said. Those significant funds, including the anonymous amounts, rolled in after the Biden Center was announced in early 2017 and launched in February 2018. The center is located in downtown Washington, D.C.
Federal records show that the University of Pennsylvania has received significant donations from China since the opening of the center. One 2018 donation alone totals $14.5 million; it is listed as anonymous in federal records. The NLPC alleges the university may have violated federal law in accepting those anonymous monetary donations. The Higher Education Act mandates schools report the national origins of any donations above $250,000 although not necessarily the individual names of donors themselves. [End] This serves as just one more reminder that Biden, his son and his brother have long been in the pockets of Chinese interests. The stark reality facing our country today is that, should Biden manage to win the election in November, all of the gains President Donald Trump has made through the sheer force of his will in terms of U.S./China relations and trade policy will be immediately reversed the day after Biden assumes office.
If you like the fact that virtually all U.S. antibiotics and PPE are sourced through China at some point along their supply chains and want it to stay that way, vote for Biden. Because that would be a fait accompli should he win. There are trillions of dollars at stake, and Creepy Uncle Quid Pro China Joe wants to ensure his family continues to get its fair share.
Foreign entities looking to influence American politics sometimes devise lucrative commercial deals involving a politicians 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 Washingtons 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. P
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 Schweizers 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.

===================================
The entire Biden family was involved in undermining the safety and security of Americans while Joe Biden was Obama's VP.
<><> Joes brother, James Biden, freely revealed his associations to the NYT; James talked without fear.
<><> indicates that the Biden family had protection from a VERY HIGH SOURCE.........
BACKSTORY In December 2016, the FBI busted a China General nuclear engineer, Szuhsiung Allen Ho, for conspiring to help China illegally obtain sensitive nuclear technology from within the US.........
After Chi Ping Ho got nailed, an executive with CEFC China Energy Co., was busted by the FBI in 2017 for bribing officials in Africa, ........one of the CEFC China Energy Co.s exec first calls was to James Biden, Joe Bidens brother.
Last year, James Biden told The New York Times....(without fear)......that he believed China Energy Co.s exec(later convicted) had been trying to reach Hunter and that, he, James Biden, provided his nephews contact information.
The feckless buffoon has done nothing but enrich himself, his family and his cronies.
Which is why President Trump can say, without equivocation, that he has done more for this country in 47 months than the career criminal has done in 47 years.
“Just 28% said they doubted such profiting...”
They also believe in Santa Claus aka socialism.
He has been sucking on our collective tax teat for 47 years.
Given the lack of coverage of this issue its a miracle
This hurts him. It hurt Hillary. I said this repeatedly when they selected him to be the nominee and rammed it through.
He has a MAJOR corruption problem. Too few have bothered to really delve into what is out there, but there is a huge amount of evidence of quid pro quo in both the Ukraine and China. There are also other places where they ran this scam to include in Iraq with his brother getting the housing contract from the government.
They've believed their own propaganda that "it's all been debunked." Big surprises coming for them.
In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .
Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as blitzing in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.
