Analysis of Hunter Biden's hard drive shows he, his firm took in about $11 million from 2013 to 2018, spent it fast

From 2013 through 2018 Hunter Biden and his company brought in about $11 million via his roles as an attorney and a board member with a Ukrainian firm accused of bribery and his work with a Chinese businessman now accused of fraud, according to an NBC News analysis of a copy of Biden’s hard drive and iCloud account and documents released by Republicans on two Senate committees.

The documents and the analysis, which don’t show what he did to earn millions from his Chinese partners, raise questions about national security, business ethics and potential legal exposure. In December 2020, Biden acknowledged in a statement that he was the subject of a federal investigation into his taxes. NBC News was first to report that an ex-business partner had warned Biden he should amend his tax returns to disclose $400,000 in income from the Ukrainian firm, Burisma. GOP congressional sources also say that if Republicans take back the House this fall, they’ll demand more documents and probe whether any of Biden’s income went to his father, President Joe Biden.

“No government ethics rules apply to him,” said Walter Shaub, a former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics who is now an ethics expert with the Project on Government Oversight. Shaub added, however, that “it’s imperative that no one at DOJ and no one at the White House interfere with the criminal investigation in Delaware.” Shaub had previously raised questions about Hunter Biden’s new line of work, selling his own paintings, which created the potential to purchase a painting to buy perceived influence, and also because the White House became involved in the transactions, arranging that none of the buyers’ names be known to Biden, the White House or the public.

Huh? I was under the impression that closed family members of politicians were help to the "appearance of impropriety" standard.

It saddens me to know that there are people in the world suffering from diseases and dying at a young age. The Bing homepage had a story today about a soap opera actress who died in her thirties from breast cancer. And yet this POS Hunter Biden does everything he can to kill himself and waste his life on drugs and whores and is still kicking. Sad.

If they are claiming $11 million, the actual amount is 10x that.

“From 2013 through 2018 Hunter Biden and his company brought in about $11 million via his roles as an attorney and a board member with a Ukrainian firm…”

$11,000,000 paid to a crack head sex addict who just happens to be the son of the Vice President of the United States and the Obama administrations “point man” on Ukraine.

Nope. Nothing to see here.

Nothing at all.

It’s gotta be 11 million in paint because his completed artwork isn’t worth .0001% of what it sells for.

There is news in this report. Don't be so quick to dismiss it. The article has Hunter's attorney on the failed China deals inferring he was chosen on recommendation of Joe Biden. That would put the lie to Joe Biden saying he never talked with Hunter about his business dealings.

"Singletary was counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1970s, where he met then-Sen. Joe Biden. Singletary says he believes he was chosen because Joe Biden and ultimately Hunter Biden knew he wouldn’t get the Chinese businesspeople or the Bidens into bad business deals."

Who do they think they’re kidding? They took in more than 11 million during those five years. That’s just a drop in the bucket of what they acquired.
