The Influence-peddling Schemes Show It Was A Biden Family Affair

As the Biden family’s corruption scandals tumble out into the open, corporate media badly want you to think the only story here is about Hunter Biden, a struggling drug addict who may have made some unwise decisions while grieving the loss of his brother. The more evidence — from whistleblower testimony to documentation — of President Joe Biden’s involvement arises, the more frantically they shout “no evidence!” and insist the elder Biden was only involved to the extent that he loves his son and talks with his wealthy foreign friends about the weather.
But — there’s another central figure in the operation. The participation of James Biden, Hunter’s uncle and Joe’s brother, shows just how much of a family affair the scandal is, with Joe Biden, the family’s “only asset,” at the top. So what exactly do we know about James Biden’s involvement?
James, his wife Sara, and Hunter went on a $101,291 spending spree with credit cards opened by Hunter and Kevin Dong, who “served as ‘Chairman Ye[’s] CEFC emissary’ in the United States.” The three Bidens purchased “extravagant items, including airline tickets and multiple items at Apple Inc. stores, pharmacies, hotels and restaurants.”
Despite telling the IRS “that he recalled not being involved with anything beyond 2017,” James Biden sent a message to Hunter in February 2018 that he was “in a near panic” because “we got nothing in Feb! … Did K [likely Kevin Dong] cut us off in Feb? I thought you had said that $ were wired into your account , 82.5 was on its way. We can’t find any record that was sent. Did I miss something?”

The $2.75 million dollar Rehoboth, Delaware beach house he bought for CASH is Joe Biden’s favorite place, apparently to conduct business w/ Hunter. Biden’s summer home in Delaware is where he escapes from the WH, where he has decamped dozens of times during his 1,000 days as the (cough) “president.”
DailyMail.com reported Biden spent at least 300 days of his presidency (a) either in Delaware where he owns other homes, or (b) on multiple “vacations” elsewhere.
BACKSTORY Biden bought the home at a time when it appeared his political career was over – five months after his Vice-Presidency had ended. He was well into his 70s, and had decided to forgo a 2016 run for the top job.
Now it appears that the beach house could turn out to be a major embarrassment as Republicans continue their push to solidify influence-peddling business links between Biden and his son Hunter.
The peripatetic Hunter was then staying in the guest house of Biden’s main house, a mansion in Delaware, when he wrote to Communist Party official Raymond Zhao on July 30, 2017, threatening him to follow his ‘orders’........ or else. “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” Hunter wrote Zhao on WhatsApp on July 30, 2017.
Hunter then appears to threaten Zhao – who he calls Z. ‘Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand,’ he writes at 9.45 am. ‘And now means tonight,’ he adds, apparently referring to time in Beijing, which is 12 hours ahead.
‘And Z if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.
Hunter concludes by emphasizing: ‘Ok my friend – I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father. I sure hope whatever it is you are doing is very, very, very important.’
There is no proof that Joe Biden actually was sitting with his son, but metadata from photos obtained by DailyMail.com from Hunter’s infamous abandoned laptop show he was at his father’s main house, his Wilmington mansion, the day the text was sent.
James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee and one of the key figures leading calls for Biden’s impeachment, said the $2.75 million all-cash house purchase is suspicious. ‘The fact that Joe Biden purchased a luxurious beach house around the same time his family was receiving millions from a CCP-linked company raises many questions that need to be answered,’ Comer told DailyMail.com.
‘The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow the money trail to determine the extent of President Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence-peddling schemes and its impact on our national security,’ Comer added.
Even if it were true that Biden was not involved with the bribery, would it not be extraordinary poor judgement for a vice-president to have any interaction with his son’s business partners who just happen to be involved in international operations?
Now that Biden is President of the United States doesn’t these past dealing, if true, put the president and the nation in peril of undue influence from these foreign nationals?
