A longtime donor of Joe Biden financed a second mortgage for the vice president's younger brother, James, worth $500,000, in order to pay for a Florida vacation home, adding yet another cloud of suspicion over whether the Biden family financially benefited from political connections.
According to a Thursday Politico report, the Ukrainian American businessman John Hynansky, who has donated nearly six figures to the former vice president's campaigns over the years, in 2015 lent James Biden the half-million dollar sum for a Florida vacation home on an island only accessible by boat.
That report echoes similarities to allegations that James Biden was able to get atypical loans while his brother served on the Senate Banking Committee.
James Biden would eventually get into business with his brother's son, Hunter Biden. In 2006, Hunter and James Biden bought Paradigm Global Advisers. At the time, Hunter said, "We've got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden … We've got investors lined up in a line of 747s filled with cash ready to invest in this company.”
Prior to that, Hunter Biden had opened a lobbying shop with clients that often had business in front of his father's Senate committees.

From my math, the first congressmen were paid the equivalent of 150 a day in today’s money.
My how things have changed. Graft and sweetheart deals for family alone dwarf that.
Biden’s son and get this Kerry ‘s step son were involved in a $600,000 deal with the Chicoms for a tech transfer of anti vibration technology once again advancing Chinese military capabilities. Not that is the least bit newsworthy /s
I have zero faith in Barr.
PDJT doesn’t seem to ask or give any updates on any investigations, either...I would expect more updates from Barr, if he were really investigating.
Joe’s been in the Senate since 1973. If he was halfway good at it, he’d be as wealthy as Obama by now.
Maybe he’s not a crook.
He’s an idiot and has lousy views, but it’s possible that he’s not a thief like so many others.
Possible. Not probable.
I think that Joe was fairly honest until he became obummer's wingman, and then the corruption was contagious.
obummer warned Joe that he had to steal at least 10 Million so that obummer could trust him.
The Chicago thug never trusted an honest man, he had nothing to blackmail Joe about.
Stealing as the VP is child's play if you have the OK of the President.
I think that Joe was fairly honest until he became obummer’s wingman, and then the corruption was contagious.
Nope. Read a story about him arranging a shady loan for this brother right after he was elected to the Senate in 1970’s. If anything, Biden is even more corrupt than the kenyan.
Anti-vibration technology? Is that the kind of thing that allows a CD player to avoid skipping for a time?
No it’s the tech that allows a missile to stay on course on it’s way to blowing your arse to Mars while you’re listening to your cd.
