The business dealings of Hunter Biden have become a contentious issue, with President Trump and his associates calling attention to the 49-year-old Biden's work in Ukraine, China and elsewhere. According to the New York Times, the younger Biden increased his international business efforts during his father’s second term as vice president and began associating with figures about whom the U.S. or its ally nations were suspicious.
Hunter Biden reportedly began advising Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian businessman said to have opened the country's first Pizza Hut restaurant, who came under authorities’ scrutiny over his real estate dealings. The investigation into Popoviciu, who was known as one of the richest and most powerful men in Romania, came amid calls from the U.S. and its allies to crack down on rampant corruption in the country. This led to the conviction of the Romanian businessman and his seven-year sentence in prison.
Other reports concerning the son of the leading 2020 presidential candidate focus on his role in the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, a company that employed him as a board member as the U.S. and the Obama administration were mulling a course of action amid Russia's invasion in Eastern Ukraine.
Biden publicly bragged during an innocuous public event that he threatened the Ukrainian president to fire a top prosecutor, who happened at the time to have been investigating corruption of Burisma. The prosecutor, who was fired after the threat, was reportedly facing criticism back then by both Ukrainians and international officials for not bringing enough corruption prosecutions. Biden’s push to oust the prosecutor may have not been influenced by the probe of the company his son was involved in.

BUCHAREST (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Bucharest on Tuesday as part of Washington’s campaign to reassure east European allies of American backing in the West’s confrontation with Russia over Ukraine.
A former communist state on the Black Sea, Romania joined NATO a decade ago and the European Union in 2007. It has been among the most vehement advocates of Western sanctions against Moscow after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine.
“You can count on us, we do what we say,” Biden told a gathering of Romanian and American troops after doffing his brown leather jacket at a military air base near Bucharest, where “capacity-building” exercises are being conducted.
Biden’s White House office had earlier said he would underscore Washington’s “ironclad commitment to the collective defense of NATO under Article 5 and express appreciation for Romania’s contributions to regional and global security”.--SNIP--

Ha haaaaa!!! I would love to see President Trump tweet a photo of himself talking to the President of Romania.
We know Obama was a commie and Brennan was a commie. Is Biden also a commie or just a corrupt garden variety crook? Peter Schweitzer says the Bidens’ Chinese funded companies were engaged in selling dual use, ie, military technology to China.
What did Hunter advise the businessman to do?
Hunter’s life would make a great TV series—Breaking Bad with a politician’s son instead of a high school teacher!
Why do I extort foreign countries?
Because I love it—and I am good at it!
Biden is what marxists would define as a “useful idiot”. I emphasize the “idiot” part.
Thanks for posting.
Another Biden crime that the Dems don’t want to have it come to light, when in fact it definitely should be pointed out for all to see.
“Biden’s push to oust the prosecutor may have not been influenced by the probe of the company his son was involved in.”
Lukas, the writer, obviously hold us readers in contempt, and thinks we’re stupid.
Biden was not an “idiot” in the context you said, he knew what he was doing. He was an opportunist and a criminal.
Since the late 70s, we have been negotiating with the Chicoms. We have obviously not been negotiating very well, hence the present push for trade fairness. Was this due to negotiator corruption, i.e. foreign money buying influence for a sub-optimal deal from the US perspective?
Rush Limbaugh, and many other establishment media types have pointed out they all operate in this fashion.
Let the chips fall where they may; this type of corruption must be exposed and punished.
They = republicrats and demicans.
Obama made changes to CIFUS that put the White House and political players a much higher degree of control of the approval of sales of American companies with defense critical technology to foreign countries.
This is perfectly timed to enable Obama Administration political pay for play by foreign countries intent on acquiring American companies with sensitive defense related technology that would typically be denied out of hand in previous administration
My bad
well if hunter advised him to open a pizza hut, it is obvious to me hunter is not qualified as a financial advisor.
Another pizzagate?

Would that be considered treason at the highest levels of our government? Could this activity be done without our intelligence agencies detecting it?
You are correct. I was speaking ‘politically’. Biden is an amoral twit, politically-speaking. He does have a nose for making a few extra million via extortion. He learned that from observing the Clintons at close-range.
If it can be demonstrated that high level Obama Administration officials took laundered bribes to family members in return for approving the sale of American companies producing critical defense tech products to the Chinese government then there is a big problem
