Brandon took bribes and Hussein knew all about it. Now I wonder if the Kenyan had a piece of the action. The FIB is on the case.

If the FEEBS are on the case, we will never find out anything.

The Washington Examiner does a great job in highlighting some of the overt criminality of Hunter. Of course,
even with a Republican backed investigation, nothing will happen. Probably a Statute of Limitations defense will prevail.

Hunter himself is irrelevant. He wasn’t the power behind things.

It was Joe.

This isn’t a story of the insurmountable, almost impossible task for charging and indicting him because he’s some kind of criminal mastermind like Raymond Reddington.

Quite simply, he’s nothing but a useless, untalented drug addict with some severe sexual proclivities PROTECTED by the power of his father’s political position, period.

He’s been allowed to run rampant, grift carouse his whole adult life - his only requirement? To kick back money to Joe Biden, IMO.

That said, I surely don’t believe there is any real contingent of this corrupt government that is really looking to charge, or indict him. That won’t happen unless Biden is defeated and the DOJ and FBI are beaten back into honesty - or just plain disbanded. My thought is there’s nothing the DOJ or FBI does that cannot be done by the states more effectively and honestly.

A legal case against the president’s son brother sister would make it a family plan and much better.

... held a lucrative position on the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma while his father was vice president. He also pursued business deals in China and elsewhere during and after his father’s tenure, raking in millions thanks to these associations.

Is Jerry Dunleavy implying drug addicted whore-mongers might NOT be worth $60,000 a month to Ukrainian 'gas companies' - or hundreds of millions to Chinese 'intelligence' CONNECTED businesses UNLESS THEY HAD 'CONNECTIONS'?

From the excellent article:

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.

Hunter Biden benefited from dad’s connections his entire career
By Jon Levine and Joshua Rhett Miller
April 9, 2022 4:03pm Updated

<><>Hunter Biden caught his first break in 1988 when he was busted for drug possession.

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.

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).

https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/zJ3ugN5YAEkwGo4HQpbArw—~B/aD0yMDAxO3c9MzAwMDtzbT0xO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://media-mbst-pub-ue1.s3.amazonaws.com/creatr-images/2019-10/7b7b5ca0-edb0-11e9-9950-bcf647da8fff

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.

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.
