How ELSE could BITE ME afford 3 MANSIONS????
Someone MUST trace their BANK ACCOUNTS!!
50% for the Big Guy.
This was not “leaked”. This information has been out there for over 6 months. Why this article today with a catchy headline? Click, click, click - $$$$$$.
Yet they will send the entire force of the justice department and all of congress against Trump at even the hint he may have jaywalked when he was 13
Zero evidence Trump ever broke the law and he gets his ass investigated off even when out of office. And here we are with Biden, an entire laptop of evidence, emails, even a witness who appeared on TV and not even a mention of an investigation. Where are Republicans and their “special counsel”?? I am so sick of this double standard BS.
They are too busy investigating Trump......
Nothing will happen. Nothing. Sure, some people will correctly conclude the obvious (corruption), but almost all of them have already concluded this and they have no ability to investigate and prosecute.
China in control of running this country?
There are annual limits on how much a family member can give to a family member without paying taxes on it.
If they are going to pursue people at Trump’s companies shouldn’t they also look into the Bidens?

Don’t get too upset, Hunter. Think of this not as a gift, but as an investment. And trust me, Hunter. Now that your dad is president that investment will pay off.
daddy tax...
i did it to my son when he would ask me to open his candy...
but i did stop that when he turned 5 and not 45...
This story came out when the laptop came out. People already looked through this laptop and now they just leak out things here and there. Nasty pictures and texts and emails of things that would put us in jail. But he don’t get arrested by the FBI or DOJ. Much less the local cops..
Half the salary he got in nepotistic jobs is vastly more than the minimum wage this loser would have made on his own.

You’re right. I forgot about that. A gift over the limit ($15,000 for 2021) must be reported to the IRS, and taxes must be paid.
So it sure looks like the Bidens broke the law here. Not that anyone cares.

When they raided Rudy’s office and didn’t even want to consider touching a harddrive Rudy claimed was “Hunter’s laptop”. With the thoroughness of their invasion, it makes no sense to take a “suspect’s” word as to the contents (and disregard collecting the drive). BUT they were THAT afraid of getting caught up in a tarball again having to explain why they WON’T investigate the Bidens (plural) crimes.
You don’t need to excerpt your own worthless blog. This isn’t clickbait central.

Joe Biden’s son Hunter complained that he was forced to hand over “half” of his salary to pay his father’s bills while he was vice president, leaked emails have revealed.
The revelation casts doubt on Joe Biden’s previous claims that he’s never benefited from his son’s business dealings.
The bills included tens of thousands in repairs on Joe and Jill Biden’s lakeside mansion in Wilmington, Delaware, and a $190-a-month AT&T phone bill.
The payments were described in an email by Hunter Biden from 2010 when Joe Biden was earning $225,000-a-year as Obama’s vice president.
Joe Biden was already a multi-millionaire by this point and had been earning over $100,000-a-year for decades prior as a senator and author.
However, Hunter suggested in emails that he was supporting his father financially, despite the then-vice president’s obvious wealth.
Hunter’s business partner Eric Schwerin emailed about thousands of dollars worth of repairs made at the Biden estate
At the time, Hunter was working as the interim CEO of Paradigm Global Advisors and he’d also founded the investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners.
He joined Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings on its board in 2014, while Joe was serving as VP and overseeing U.S. policy in Ukraine.
Joe has always insisted that he neither set up nor benefited from Hunter’s international business relationships while he was vice president, but the leaked emails suggest otherwise.
The claims were found on the laptop that Hunter, 51, allegedly abandoned at a Delaware computer shop and then recovered by the FBI, the contents of which were leaked last year.
The allegations about having to pay his father came in text messages between Hunter and his daughter, Naomi, 27, according to the New York Post.
“I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” a text Hunter reportedly wrote in 2019 said.
“It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike Pop [Joe Biden], I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
The outlet reported that there was no direct evidence of this type of wealth transfer found on the laptop.
Emails found on the laptop do, however, show evidence of Hunter being propositioned about the best way to pay thousands of dollars owed for repairs to his father’s properties back in 2010, according to The Sun.
Emails from June 2010 from Hunter’s business partner, Eric Schwerin, show that Hunter was hit up about bills from several Delaware contractors for maintenance at his father’s lakefront property.
The bills that month included $2,600 to contractor Earle Downing for a “stone retaining wall” at the president’s Wilmington estate, $1,475 to a painter for work on the “back wall and columns” of the house, and $1,239 for repairs to air conditioning at the cottage of the president’s late mother, according to the Post.
“FYI, there are a few outstanding bills that need to be paid and I am not sure which ones are a priority and which should get paid out of ‘my’ account and which should be put on hold or paid out of the ‘Wilmington Trust Social Security Check Account,’” Schwerin wrote in the email to Hunter.
He then says there is “about $2,000 extra in ‘my’ account beyond what is used for monthly expenses.”
It’s unclear why Schwerin was putting “my” in quotation marks in his emails.
A few days later, Schwerin wrote to Hunter again that one of the contractors was “hassling me so I am paying a couple of the smaller things since I haven’t heard from your Dad.
“Know he’s busy — so it’s OK,” he continued.
“But if you think he has a moment or two to review the email I sent you let me know.”
Schwerin wrote another email in July about getting in contact with Biden to discuss his future wealth management, according to the Post’s report.
The FBI launched an investigation into Hunter last December after the Post published files on a laptop he put in for repair.
They revealed details of his business dealings in Ukraine and China, as well as a now-famous picture of him smoking crack.
Hunter claimed he may have been hacked by Russians but Fox News host Brian Kilmeade said Hunter “lied” about the laptop and there’s “no doubt” that it was his.
Kilmeade said: “He knows exactly that it’s his laptop.
“It even had a Beau Biden foundation sticker on it.
“It was his laptop, dropped off with all his personal information.
“There is no doubt about it.”
Many of the bills were for repairs to Joe Biden’s mansion in Wilmington, Delaware
The emails showed Hunter was employed by a Ukrainian oil and gas giant and was asked to use his influence with his father, who was VP at the time.
One email suggested that on at least one occasion Hunter arranged a meeting between Joe Biden and Burisma boss Vadym Pozharskyi.
A spokesperson for Joe Biden denied any such meeting.
Other documents detailed payments from a company in China and suggested some was intended for other Biden family members.
Hunter and Joe denied any impropriety.
