Hunter’s .38-caliber revolver was thrown in the trash outside of a Janssen’s Market location near a Wilmington, Delaware, high school in October 2018 by his sister-in-law Hallie Biden, with whom he was in a romantic relationship. He berated Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau, after police responded, and he accused her of ruining his life.
The president’s son had bought the handgun from StarQuest Shooters in Delaware just a couple of days before it was tossed in the garbage. Copies of Hunter Biden’s Firearms Transaction Record dated Oct. 12, 2018, showed Hunter falsely responded "no" to a question on the transaction record that asked, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”
Lying on the firearms form can be a felony. The Government Accountability Office reported in September 2018 that prosecutions for lying on a gun form are rare but do happen.
Put Durham on it.
Maybe in 10 years he’ll issue a “report”.

They Weren’t Gaffes. Joe Biden did exactly what he campaigned on.
Bill Hennessy.COM
Joe Biden’s campaign told America what the octogenarian would do if the American people were stupid enough to make him president:
Open the southern border
Free criminals
Destroy US energy industry
Flood the streets with deadly drugs
Defund local police
Groom your kids for genital mutilation
Make sure every pregnancy ends in abortion
Kick off record-breaking inflation with profligate spending
Train people to not work
Extend the Covid health emergency forever
Punish the productive
Reward the freeloaders
It was all there in his rare campaign appearances, but people thought they were gaffes. Most voters recognized Biden’s cognitive deficiencies during the Democrat debates, so they figured his bundle of promises—which roll up to the downfall of America—were just gaffes. He was famous for gaffes even before he lost his mind.
Turns out, they weren’t gaffes at all. To the surprise of many, Biden meant what he promised.
And he delivered in spades!
Some say, he’s exceeded their expectations.
For example, no one knew he was going to humiliate America and lose a lot of lives by jerking all US troops out of Afghanistan . . . but he did.
No one knew Biden would push Russia to invade Ukraine, but he did.
No one expected Biden to push the world the brink of nuclear holocaust, but here we are.
No one knew Biden planned to bring on a recession in an election year, but the aging genius pulled that one off, too.
I hear people say, “Biden needs to do more.” Hogwash. How much do you expect one man to accomplish? An 80-year-old man at that?
To put Biden’s record of accomplishments in perspective, the Soviet Union spent 70 years trying to turn America communist but failed miserably. Joe Biden did it in 18 months.
I hate to admit it, but no president in US history has accomplished so much of his agenda in so short a time as Joe Biden.
Congratulations, Mr. President. You promised; you delivered. And America will never be the same again.
that is a great review! I posted it again!

Smoking Gun: Newly Discovered Emails Confirm Joe Biden Obstructed Justice for His Son’s Foreign Business Deal (08/04/2022)

Hunter goes postal
EXC: ‘Love This Idea’ – Hunter Biden’s Firm Wanted to Asset Strip the U.S. Postal Service, E-Mail Reveals...Meanwhile, Joe Biden is trying to replace the Postmaster General.

President Biden’s son Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca firm considered the idea of asset stripping the U.S. Postal Service, previously unseen e-mails have revealed. The news comes as Joe Biden attempts to oust the current Postmaster General over election fraud concerns.
Writing to colleagues including Hunter Biden – the disgraced son of then-Vice President Joe Biden – Rosemont Seneca partner Neil Callahan said, “I still love this idea,” before forwarding an e-mail discussing the asset stripping of the U.S. Postal Service, The National Pulse can reveal.
Rosemont Seneca is the controversial firm led by Hunter Biden, which engaged in energy deals with the Chinese Communist Party as well as Burisma in Ukraine, and Metabiota’s biolabs in the same Eurasian nation.
Callahan was referring to an idea for a friend of Rosemont Seneca’s, a man by the name of Amitava Mitra.
Mitra had mooted the idea of asset stripping the U.S. Postal Service, detailing a strategy involving the multi-billion dollar, New York-based investment firm Evercore:
“I was talking with the evercore guys today… Evercore has a contract with USPS, who knows what they do, strategic advice they say. probably they are just selling off the real estate quietly as the USPS is in a $ 6 or 7 billion hole. think of it, USPS’s real estate in NY, DC, Chicago, LA, SF is worth $ 30 billion… if you can find a good firm, to fund this can be a huge play, just retail real estate like Grand central station… let me know.”
The news comes after the 2020 election, during which operatives on the political left accused President Donald Trump of attacking the Postal Service over his concerns with mail-in ballots.
The revelations are also concerning given current President Joe Biden’s insistence on removing the current Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, as Biden seeks to fundamentally transform the service with focuses on election funding and a green agenda.
The idea as presented on Hunter Biden’s hard drive did not appear to lead anywhere, though it may go some way to explaining Biden’s current obsession with removing Trump-era appointee DeJoy.
Last year, Biden began stacking the USPS board with political allies after being urged to do so by far-left Members of Congress. Last year, without specifics, outgoing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki blasted DeJoy:
“We are, of course, deeply troubled, continue to be deeply troubled — as many Americans are — by the earlier reporting on Postmaster General DeJoy’s potential financial conflicts of interest and take serious issues with the job he’s doing running the Postal Service… It’s up to the board to make a determination about leadership, but we have continued concerns about the postmaster general’s leadership.”
The behavior strikes a worryingly similar tone to that of Joe Biden in Ukraine in 2016. During a Council on Foreign Relations event, the former VP appeared to admit that he leveraged U.S. aid to Ukraine in order to force out a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating his son Hunter’s former company, Burisma.
“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden said he told Poroshenko, before concluding: “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.”
The Hunter Biden USPS e-mail was sent just after a deal was struck between the Postal Service and Evercore, an investing and consulting firm led by former Clinton Treasury appointee Roger Altman.
Altman, a college friend of former President Clinton’s, was forced to resign from the U.S. government in 1994 after admitting before the U.S. Senate that he had given White House officials a “heads-up” on nine criminal referrals that, according to CNN, “targeted Clinton’s 1985 gubernatorial campaign, and named the Clintons as witnesses in others.”
The news comes as corporate media organizations admit the veracity of Hunter Biden’s hard drive and the associated e-mails within. The National Pulse was one of the first and most frequent outlets to report from the drive, with a cache of stories available at BidenLeak.com
Hunter Biden benefited from dad’s connections his entire career

Hunter Biden has been living off his father’s influence and connections his entire life, a review of public information and data contained on his old laptop show.
<><>The future first son caught his first break back in 1988 when he was busted for drug possession. At a time when Sen. Joe Biden was pushing stiffer sentences for drug users to bolster his War on Drugs bonafides, Hunter Biden was treated with kid gloves.
“I was cited for possession of a controlled substance in Stone Harbor, NJ. There was a pre-trial intervention and the record was expunged,” he said in a disclosure after being nominated to serve on the Amtrak Reform Board in 2006.
<><>Biden family benefits continued for Hunter when he applied to Yale Law School. Dean Guido Calabresi got a call from the school’s most powerful alumnus, President Bill Clinton, who asked him to accept Hunter Biden, a recent Georgetown graduate, according to a 2019 report in Chronicle of Higher Education.
Calabresi, who had walled off the dean’s office from the admissions process at Yale Law to avoid just such pressure, told Clinton that he would not intercede. The admissions office then rejected Hunter. But Calabresi met with Hunter, encouraged him to go to a different law school and to then apply to Yale as a transfer student. Hunter Biden went to Georgetown University Law for a year, and was admitted to Yale in the summer of 1994.
Clinton nominated Calabresi to a federal judgeship that same year. At the time, Sen. Joe Biden was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the person in charge of shepherding Calabresi’s nomination. Guido Calabresi told The Post he knew nothing of Hunter’s law school acceptance at the time.
REUTERS/Jim Young. “I had nothing to do with that acceptance and don’t recall knowing of it at the time,” Calabresi, now 89, told The Post.
<><>“The only qualification Hunter seems to have had was his last name,” GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik told The Post. The upstate Republican and House GOP Conference chairwoman has vowed to subpoena the first son if her party retakes the House in the 2022 midterms.
<><>The good news kept coming for Hunter, whose professional career took off with lightening speed. In 1996, fresh out of law school, Hunter snagged a job with giant Delaware-based bank MBNA — his father’s largest campaign donor. The $100,000-a-year gig came with an undisclosed signing bonus, according to the book Laptop From Hell by Post columnist Miranda Devine. Within a year, he was an executive vice president of the bank.
<><>When MBNA founder Charlie Cawley died in 2015, Hunter Biden was invited to the funeral by former Delaware Sen. Ted Kaufman, one of Joe Biden’s closest associates, emails from the laptop shop. In 1998, having tired of banking, Hunter Biden reached out to William Oldaker, a D.C. lawyer who worked on his father’s aborted 1988 presidential campaign, for help getting a job with the Clinton administration. Oldaker put out feelers to Commerce Secretary William Daley, another Biden campaign alum, who netted him a gig as a “policy director specializing in the burgeoning Internet economy,” according to the New Yorker.
<><>During this time, Hunter was still being paid as a lobbyist for the bank, taking a $100,000 annual retainer for five years, according to Laptop From Hell.
<><>When President George W. Bush and Republicans came to town after the 2000 election, Hunter Biden decamped with Oldaker to the lobbying shop Oldaker, Biden & Belair. Plum corporate board positions followed, including one with Eudora Global, an investment firm founded by another Joe Biden donor, Jeff Cooper.

<><>In January 2006, Joe Biden was once against thinking about the presidency and was looking for his son to knock off the lobbying and find a more low-profile private-sector job. Hunter Biden’s uncle James got in touch with New York financial advisor Anthony Lotito about the purchase of a hedge fund called Paradigm, according to legal filings from Lotito obtained by Politico.
Lotito did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.
The Bidens received a million bucks of financing for the purchase of the hedge fund in 2009 from the St. Louis law firm SimmonsCooper, whose managing partner was Jeff Cooper. The venture ended badly and the Bidens had to return the cash.
<><>In 2010 Hunter Biden became “of counsel” at the law firm Boies, Schiller and Flexner — headed by Democratic super lawyer David Boies. In a Jan. 16, 2017 email to Hunter Biden from Eric Schwerin. it is revealed that the Boies firm was paying Hunter $216,000 annually.
It was a “no-show” job that did not require Hunter Biden to keep regular office hours or attend meetings, according to Laptop From Hell.
Schwerin was the president of Hunter Biden’s investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, an investment firm mentioned throughout the hard drive in messages linking Hunter and his father to shady foreign deals.Reps for the Boies law firm did not respond to request for comment from The Post.
<><>“The allegations of corruption against the Bidens — as documented in Hunter’s laptop—are serious and real.Meanwhile, the Biden administration is desperately trying to cover up the evidence of corruption. There needs to be a Special Counsel that doesn’t answer to Joe Biden to fairly investigate the allegations of Biden family corruption,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told The Post.

Secret Service ‘hid’ info on Hunter Biden travels, GOP senators claim
NY POST,CBy Bruce Golding, January 19, 2022
Sen. Ron Johnson has alleged that the Secret Service hid names and correspondences with Hunter Biden without any legal justification.
The Secret Service improperly redacted hundreds of pages of records related to Hunter Biden’s overseas travel — and apparently withheld information about trips to China, Russia and other countries, two leading Republican senators claim.
In a Tuesday letter to Secret Service Director James Murray, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) alleged the agency “hid names and other information contained in email conversations regarding Hunter Biden without any proper legal justification.”
The senators specifically noted that documents turned over at their request “do not show whether [Secret Service] personnel or Hunter Biden traveled to Kazakhstan in May or June 2014” during a trip to Paris.
Biden — whose father, President Biden, was vice president at the time — decided to ditch his Secret Service bodyguards before flying to Kazakhstan to pursue a deal on behalf of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, the Washington Examiner reported last year.
Hunter Biden reportedly planned to meet with then-Kazakhstan Prime Minister Karim Massimov, who was arrested on treason charges Saturday following his ouster as head of the country’s counterintelligence and anti-terror agency.

Critics have accused the younger Biden of influence-peddling and a report last year said the Justice Department was investigating a consulting firm linked to Hunter over its work for Bursima, which paid him as much as $1 million a year.
In 2020, Hunter Biden disclosed that he was under investigation for possible tax fraud, reportedly involving his business dealings in China and other foreign countries.

In Tuesday’s letter, first reported by the Examiner, Grassley and Johnson expressed “serious concerns” over the “extensive Freedom of Information Act redactions, which do not apply to Congress” in the 259 pages they received from the Secret Service.
“These inappropriate redactions impede our offices’ ability to understand the full scope of the interactions between Hunter Biden, his associates, and the USSS,” they wrote.
Grassley and Johnson also said the Secret Service “did not produce any communications regarding Hunter Biden’s travel for the years 2010, 2011, and 2013,” even though its own “travel records show that Hunter Biden made trips to China and other destinations around the world, including, Russia, Italy, Spain and Mexico.”
The lawmakers demanded that the Secret Service provide complete, unredacted copies of the documents it turned over and explain why it didn’t produce records from 2010, 2011 and 2013.
The senators said they wanted a response “as soon as possible” and set a Jan. 26 deadline.
The Secret Service didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Grassley and Johnson have been investigating Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings and in 2020 released a report that said his job with Burisma created a “potential conflict of interest” for his dad, who was deeply involved in US policy toward Ukraine.
That report also alleged Hunter Biden sent “thousands of dollars” to people who appeared linked to “an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”
Hunter Biden, now pursuing a controversial career as a self-taught painter, also owned a 10 percent stake in a Chinese investment firm known as BHR Partners, but his lawyer last month told the New York Times that he “no longer holds any interest” in it.
Hunter Biden reportedly planned to meet with then-Kazakhstan Prime Minister Karim Massimov before was he ousted and arrested for treason.
The White House has refused to say who bought Hunter Biden’s share in the company or how much he was paid for it.
Joe Biden tried so hard to make Hunter into a “pitiable victim but outside of Deep State, Hunter is seen as a crass widow-diddling opportunist with an insatiable sex drive, and a weak crackhead w/ an industrial strength penis on steroids.
Hunter has made millions exploiting his father’s political connections. Even scarier....his father was grooming him for elective office (yikes).
Here’s Hunter speaking from his father’s VP’s podium (gag).
It’s impossible to believe, seeing Hunter constantly at his father’s side
that Joe Biden would not ask Hunter where he’s getting tons of money to support
his expensive cocaine habit, his lifestyle of pricey homes, luxury cars and clothing,
his various girlfriends, wives, one-night stands, and Biden children born in and OUT of wedlock.
Wow. That's quite a banking career. It just shows you what talent and hard work can do. Not that any of that has anything to do with Hunter Biden.
Now he's a retired oil executive and a world-class painter. Amazing.
Rep. James Comer wants info on Hunter Biden’s ties to Chinese mine sale

‘Pro-democracy’ and polarizing media are the real threat to liberty
The leading Republican on the House Oversight Committee is calling on the National Archives to release any information it has related to Hunter Biden’s alleged involvement in the sale of an African cobalt mine to a Chinese company in 2016.
In a letter to Archivist David Ferriero Wednesday, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) requested any documents pertaining to the first son’s potential role in the transaction, arguing the sale posed a potential national security threat by undermining the United States’ capacity to invest in green energy. Cobalt is a key component in electric car batteries.
“The American people deserve answers regarding why the Obama Administration —whether at then-Vice President Biden’s behest or not — watched in silence as an American company transferred control of this precious asset to a Chinese conglomerate and why Hunter Biden was — yet again — involved in international matters on which he has no expertise,” Comer wrote.
The complex transaction was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon during the 2020 presidential campaign, and was spotlighted by the New York Times this past November. It resulted in private equity firm BHR Partners being cut in on the $3.8 billion transaction — which transferred 80 percent of the Tenke Fungurume mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo from Arizona-based mining company Freeport-McMoRan to Beijing-backed China Molybdenum.

Hunter Biden and two other Americans co-founded BHR with several Chinese partners, and the three Americans each controlled 10 percent of the firm at the time of the sale. However, the rest of the company is owned or controlled by Chinese-based investors, including the state-controlled Bank of China.
“The loss of African cobalt mines to the Chinese is a severe blow to the United States’ ability to invest in green technology and lead the world by example,” Comer wrote. “It is potentially a national security threat, and it was a loss orchestrated in no small part by the president’s son.”
“As a 10 percent owner of the firm that brokered a multi-billion-dollar deal, Hunter Biden no doubt made a profit from this massive transaction,” Comer went on. “Unfortunately, such profit has come at great expense to both the United States and the DRC. China has reportedly failed to fulfill its promises to the DRC and established less than adequate safety conditions for mine workers.”
Comer argued that the Obama administration should have intervened to block the sale, claiming that though it was “well aware how important cobalt was about to become to the global economy … it curiously did nothing to intervene in Hunter Biden’s Chinese-backed transaction to facilitate the sale of one of the world’s richest cobalt mines from an American company to a Chinese company.”

The lawmaker requested the Archives hand over any information pertaining to the deal by Feb. 2.
“In this latest episode, Hunter Biden appears to have profited in the short-term directly from America’s long-term loss,” Comer concluded. “While Hunter Biden might not care that his actions have been a boon to the Chinese and a detriment to the United States’ position of leadership on clean energy, Americans do.”
Hunter Biden’s attorney said in November that his client had divested his 10 percent stake in BHR Partners, but offered no further details on the identity of the buyer or the transaction terms.

A former British special forces officer with ties to UK intelligence services is at the center of Joe Biden’s alleged 10 per cent stake in a dirty deal with China.
James Gilliar wrote a now-infamous email to Hunter Biden in 2017 suggesting ‘the big guy’ would own a tenth of the interest in a multi-million-dollar deal with Chinese oil behemoth CEFC through his son.
Though the email, allegedly referring to Joe Biden, was perhaps the most shocking among the tens of thousands on Hunter’s abandoned laptop and has the greatest implications for American democracy – still little is known about Hunter’s shadowy business partner.
