A fund of hedge funds run by two members of Vice President Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by companies controlled by Texas financier R. Allen Stanford, who is facing Securities and Exchange Commission accusations of engaging in an $8 billion fraud.
The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund. Stanford-related companies marketed the fund to investors and also invested about $2.7 million of their own money in the fund, according to a lawyer for Paradigm. Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James.

Even prior to the elections I remember reading about some strange business dealings by Biden’s son - but nothing ever came of it, of course.

Good grief! And Biden is in charge of overseeing the stimulus?
To: Scanian
I’d love to see one of Biden’s fake grins when he’s ever confronted with this... but I’ll probably be waiting forever.

No problem, no problems here. Remember what Chuckie Schumer just said about pork bills, it applies to this also. Americans do not care how dishonest, liars, corrupt, etc. that Marxist Dimocrats are. They want them in office, BECAUSE DIMOCRATS GIVE THEM SOMETHING FOR FREE. As long as you are getting yours, you don't care what the other cat is getting. Give me mine Joe if you are going to get yours. The American mind set now days. Give me, give me, give me.

Should Biden resign from the most ethical administration since the word ‘ethical’ was invented? If he did, who would Obamarama nominate? Jesse Jackson? Pelosi? Al Sharpton? Osama bin Ladin??

I don’t know if you intended it, but I love the double talk of ‘thrown’ ... when Obammy sees obstruction to his reign, they will join the ‘thrown’ under the bus.

this administration is in it up to their pencil-thin mustaches! If it wasn't such a serious issue I'd be ROTFL.
This country is being run by Organized Crime.
I am thinking very dark thoughts now, and can't predict what might happen.
Remember, our beloved Free Republic was birthed by men who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
