Did they hold back ten percent for the Big Guy?
I’m so old that I remember when the American media felt concerned about business connections between political families and Russian oligarchs. In this case, it falls to the British newspaper Daily Mail to report that the same widow of the mayor of Moscow that paid Hunter Biden a $3.5 million “consulting fee” also dropped $40 million into the coffers of Biden’s real estate company:
(snip)
Yelena Baturina wanted to “enter the American market,” her brother explained to the DM. Yelena herself was not available for comment, and neither was Hunter. This took place a couple of years before Baturina paid Hunter the $3.5 million “consulting fee” that Treasury officials flagged at the time as “suspicious.” Until yesterday, that was the only known connection between the Russian ruling elite and Hunter.
Where did the money go? Hunter’s company plowed it into office-space investment properties in Texas, Colorado, Alabama, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. The prospectus provided by the Daily Mail put the purchase price at a total of $212 million, $160 million of which came from mortgages on the properties. Hunter’s firm Rosemont came up with $15 million, far below Baturina’s ante, while still holding the general partnership of the investment group. That may not seem terribly risky in 2012 — office space was still a good investment and the pandemic was still eight years away — but it does look like an odd arrangement for an investor coming up with over 60% of the case for the venture.
The investment may well have been more aimed at Biden Inc rather than some office space, in other words.

Nice, good for you. I hope you enjoy retirement.
I’ve heard Portugal is nice and that the dollar goes a long way there.
Any input on that?

Boom. Millionaire.
No that was the goal in the 1990s, today it is billionaire.
Biden was always on the take
Biden’s earned $15.6 million … from speaking fees.
The Clintons wink with a grin if the democrats didn’t have a nose ring in the MSM none of this would be happening sucking up when you get to go to the parties and rub a few elbows.
Biden’s earned $15.6 million … from speaking fees......rotflmco.
The FBI ‘leadership’ must be really stupid... same with the 50 ‘intelligence’ thugs who signed a published letter saying Hunter’s laptop was Russian Disinformation.
Or maybe they’re all a bunch of creepy commie liars selling our their country for ______ sex.
Yes and yes, but YMMV. We have just been a few days in Portugal over the years, so I cant go into specifics. A friend of ours just bought a flat in Lisbon. We are supposed to spend a month there, maybe next year.
Prices seem comparable to Spain, on the whole, as long as we arent talking about Madrid or Barcelona. Try Bilbao or Sevilla (lovely) or any provincial city really. There is almost no serious crime anywhere in Spain or Portugal.
Spain and Portugal are very cheap, in US terms, for a comparable high quality of life. Oddly enough, so is France, as long as you stay away from Paris. Another friend has a house in Biarritz.
Anyway, go to Portugal and see for yourself. You can generally check rentals and prices online. In Spain Idealista.com is the main listing site and it covers Portugal. What works best in Portugal I dont know.
If Yelena Baturina really paid Hunter Biden $40 million (!) she certainly didnt get much value from her investment. Under Joe Biden, all things Russian are bad, bad, bad!
Stupid.......
Thank you.

Follow the money.
I’m sure the FBI will get right on this...
