Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden declined to answer questions on the campaign trail this week about his son's overseas business dealings in countries where the then-vice president was conducting diplomatic work, an issue his political opponents have already begun to wield against him as he wades into the 2020 presidential campaign.
More than once, after his father engaged in diplomacy on behalf of the United States in foreign countries, Hunter Biden conducted business in the same country. At two separate campaign stops on Monday, Biden avoided questions about his son while his staff blocked reporters from approaching the candidate.
Biden's campaign did provide ABC News with a statement saying the former vice president has always adhered to "well-established executive branch ethics standards," adding that if Biden wins the White House he will issue an executive order to "address conflicts of interest of any kind."
"This process will be set out in detail in the executive order," the statement reads, "that President Biden would issue on his first day in office."

Creepy Sleepy Joe needs Hunter to be able to pay for a really nice retirement house and nursing home for him. One with an indoor pool.
Just like Bill and Hillary took an ethics pledge . . . .
Did they show his hands? Were his fingers crossed? Would it even matter if they weren’t?
Ethics in the DNC aren’t up to Mafia standards.
Most ethical administration ... yep, that’s what he pledged.
Just like Obama pledged the most transparent.
What’s left but to pledge the most moral ... and then be caught having wild homosexual orgies at night in the White House?
Hmmmm ... I sense the pledge Buttplug might offer and gratuitously break.
The same year, it emerged that Hunter Biden was in a relationship with his late brother Beau's widow, Hallie. Hunter Biden separated from Kathleen five months after Beau's death from brain cancer at age 46 in May 2015. Hunter then married Beau's widow......now after two years of marriage, they announce they're divorcing.....a Biden pump and dump scheme.
Hunter is also being sued for siring a hillbilly baby and remarried 10 days after meeting his third wife.
==================================
A police report of his activities revealed Hunter went to a “reknowned colon hydrotherapist” in “hum city” Arizona— a colonic lavage administrator whose staff doubles down as sex workers they “pump the penis” of the “colonically stimulated” “patient”—
Biden was there for "the treatment." Hunter was in (cough) “hum city” and went to a “reknowned colon hydrotherapist” whose staff doubles down as sex workers.
Hunter got the works-——he got his penis pumped after he got colonically stimulated by sex experts.
Yeah, and Obama pledging to have the "most transparent" admin. in history?
Pandering democrats always crack me up.
Slippery Joe, a walking, talking parody of a tinhorn politician.
He’s freakin’ hilarious.
Here’s the tape.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BIDEN: We’re not going to give you the billion dollars.
They said, you’ve got no authority.
You’re not the president.
The president — I said, call him.
I said I’m telling you.
You are not getting a billion dollars.
I said, you are not getting the billion.
I’m going to be leaving here, I think it was six hours.
Look, I said [I'm] leaving [in] six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.
Well, son of a (EXPLETIVE DELETED), he got fired.

All right. Busy news night. We continue.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Former Ukrainian Prosecutor: ‘No Doubt’ Joe Biden Forced Me Out to Protect Hunter Biden
Breitbart ^ | 20 Jun 2019 | CHARLIE SPIERING
FR Posted by detective
A former Ukrainian prosecutor general is speaking out after Vice President Joe Biden forced him out of his job. Speaking to ABC News, former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin said he has “no doubt” Biden wanted him gone to help protect Hunter Biden’s employer. At the time, Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings while Biden’s son Hunter was on the board earning as much as $50,000 a month.
“Biden was acting not like a U.S. vice president, but as an individual,” he said to ABC News, “like the individual interested in having me removed — having me gone so that I did not interfere in the Burisma investigation.”

FR POSTED: John Solomon reported on Hunter Biden’s receiving millions of dollars from Burisma Holdings after being installed on the company’s board during his father’s vice presidential tenure:
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts – usually more than $166,000 a month – from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia.”
The general prosecutor’s official file for the Burisma probe – shared with me by senior Ukrainian officials – shows prosecutors identified Hunter Biden, business partner Devon Archer and their firm, Rosemont Seneca, as potential recipients of money. Shokin told me in written answers to questions that, before he was fired as general prosecutor, he had made “specific plans” for the investigation that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”
“We’ve talked before about the deals he procured with the government for China,” remembered Schweizer. “The other place [Joe Biden’s] son, Hunter Biden, procured a big deal was in Ukraine. In Ukraine, it involved an energy company called Burisma, which is a very corrupt organization headed by an oligarch named Mykola Zlochevsky who is very close to ViktorYanukovich, the pro-Russian leader.”
Schweizer asked, “There’s all kinds of questions and implications. Is there a Russian component to this, because Burisma is such a corrupt company?”
“The bottom line is Joe Biden was the Obama administration’s point-person on policy towards Ukraine,” noted Schweizer. “He steered $1.8 billion in aid to that government and while he was doing so, his son got a sweetheart deal with this energy company – that we’ve been able to trace over just a 14-month period – paid $3.1 million into an account where Hunter Biden was getting paid.”
Schweizer highlighted Hunter Biden’s lack of professional or experiential bona fides in terms of his board position at Burisma Holdings.
“Suffice to say, Hunter Biden has no background in Ukraine,” stated Schweizer. “He has no background in energy policy. There’s really no legitimate explanation as to why he got this deal with this energy company, other than the fact his father was responsible for doling out money in Ukraine itself.”
Schweizer went on, “It’s a huge problem, and it goes to this question of corruption and potential payoffs and bribes that these foreign entities were making to the Bidens in exchange for hopefully getting favorable treatment.”
Despite the Robert Mueller-led operation’s ostensible pursuit of “collusion” between President Donald Trump and the Russian state, Schweizer noted actual financial dealings between the Biden family and foreign interests.
Schweizer said, “One of the phrases that has been tossed around as it relates to the Russian collusion hoax was ‘obstruction of justice’ by Trump, and there’s been no — at least in my mind — evidence that that ever happened, and it doesn’t seem that Mueller felt any charges should be brought on that count. But in this case, you would have a pretty clear-cut case of obstruction of justice, where Joe Biden is saying to Ukrainian officials, ‘We are not going to give you this billion-dollar loan guarantee unless you fire this guy.’”
Schweizer added, “There is far more evidence of collusion involving Joe Biden — or even involving the Clintons — of collusion with these foreign powers than there was with Donald Trump, because you actually have the transaction of money, you have very favorable policies that were carried out. I think ‘collusion’ is not too strong a word. I think it’s a pretty accurate word.”
Schweizer added, “There’s no question. The Bidens got a lot of money — millions of dollars — from these foreign powers. Hunter Biden had no legitimate reasons to get the deal. He simply wasn’t qualified.”
Schweizer warned of politicians and officials monetizing their political influence.
“So what [Joe Biden] is doing is using U.S. taxpayer government resources for the personal benefit of his family, and by the way, all of this absolutely rings true,” remarked Schweizer. “Joe Biden was the Obama administration’s person on Ukraine, he traveled to that country something like 17 times during his tenure as vice president, which is pretty amazing.”
Schweizer went on, “What’s remarkable is when, a couple of days before Donald Trump was inaugurated in Washington, D.C., Joe Biden was actually in Ukraine. It’s pretty remarkable for a vice president of the United States to be overseas that late in the game, but he was in Ukraine. [Joe Biden’s] sway and influence there was enormous, and it raises all kinds of questions about the way that he used or abused government power, and of course it raises questions about what potentially did Ukrainians have on Hunter Biden.”
“What kind of evidence and information do we have?” asked Schweizer of corruption concerns regarding Joe Biden. “We know that millions of dollars flowed into Hunter Biden’s accounts. We know that he was not qualified for the job, and the question is, what did he get for Ukrainians in return? I think that’s all the sort of thing that needs to be investigated and looked into by a grand jury.”
Schweizer added, “You have a pattern with Hunter Biden. Of a couple of cases that we know of and others that are lingering out there. We know in the case of China he flies with his dad on Air Force Two in December of 2013 and ten days later, his firm gets a $1 billion private equity deal with the Chinese government.”
Schweizer continued, “Again, [Hunter Biden’s] firm has no background in China. Hunter Biden has no background in China. It’s just odd. About four months later, he gets this deal with the Ukrainians, particularly with Burisma. What we also know is, based on financial account records that came out [from] Morgan Stanley that was managed by Hunter Biden’s business partner, a guy named Devon Archer, he handled an account for Morgan Stanley and that account sent huge sums of money to Hunter Biden.”
Schweizer went on, “Not only does that account show money coming in from the Chinese and Ukrainians. There’s also $1.2 million that comes from this LLC that we can’t trace. it comes from a boutique Swiss bank account that’s been implicated in money-laundering in ten countries. There’s $145,000 from the son of the former prime minister of Kazakhstan, which is of course a highly corrupt country with all sorts of interesting implications.”
“The point is, Ukraine is not an isolated case. China is not an isolated case.”
“AFTER DUE INVESTIGATION, WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE WE FOUND NO ETHICS HERE. NEXT?”
and OJ was gonna find the real killer...
Candidate Biden vows $5 trillion deal to re-enter the Paris Climate Accord that the Obama admin negotiated
and Pres Trump rejected on the first day of his presidency....
CIRCA 2017---Barack Obama transfers $500m to Green Climate Fund to protect Paris deal last days in office;
second $500M withdrawn from State Dept used executive powers; bypassed congressional support.
Michael Slezak / Tue 17 Jan 2017 / Last modified on Wed 14 Feb 2018
Barack Obama has transferred a second $500m installment from the State Dept to the Green Climate Fund just three days before he leaves office. Photograph: Evan Vucci/AP Barack Obama has heeded calls to help secure the future of the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m instalment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office.
The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming “well below” 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table. The US committed to transferring $3bn to the fund. The new instalment leaves $2bn owing, with the incoming president, Donald Trump, expected to cease any further payments.
=====================================
Wonder if the $500M made a short cut thru a numbered account in a French Polynesian bank?

Yanukovich was removed from his position in February 2014.
He [Yanukovich] currently lives in exile in Russia and is wanted by Ukraine for high treason.
Zlochevsky later fled the country in late-2014 as Ukrainian prosecutors launched investigations into his time in public office as well as his private businesses.”

The campaign was often bitter and violent.
Yushchenko became seriously ill in early September 2004.
He was flown to Vienna’s Rudolfinerhaus clinic for treatment and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, accompanied by interstitial edematous changes, due to a serious viral infection and chemical substances that are not normally found in food products.
Yushchenko claimed that he had been poisoned by government agents.
After the illness, his face was greatly disfigured: jaundiced, bloated, and pockmarked.
British toxicologist Professor John Henry of St Mary’s Hospital in London declared the changes in Yushchenko’s face were due to chloracne, which results from dioxin poisoning.[17]
Dutch toxicologist Bram Brouwer also stated his changes in appearance were the result of chloracne, and found dioxin levels in Yushchenko’s blood 6,000 times above normal.[18]
On December 11, Dr. Michael Zimpfer of the Rudolfinerhaus clinic declared that Yushchenko had ingested TCDD dioxin and had 1,000 times the usual concentration in his body.[19]

Biden vows ethics pledge - but only if elected. Biden vows ethics pledge - in other words - guilty of paygo access and VIP treatment for his slick son
Joe Biden and Carson Daly are a couple now?

A pledge from a Democrat is as trustworthy as Venezuelan government
There needs to be a real investigation of this and his China dealings. Give it 1/10th of the effort Mueller showed the President and let’s see what happens.
