[Artemis Webb]

No they aren’t.
Books like this are ignored by the left.

[wastoute]

Somebody want to buy AG Barr a copy?

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Democrat,Nancy Pelosi should resign immediately....period!!! Americans....all, help , we, the American people and voters, to totally destroy the entire failed, disgusting, low life, Democrat, Traitor/Turncoat,Party in 2020!!! Case Closed!!!

[virgil]

Is this a book promo? Looks like it.

[griswold3]

Yeah, right. This will change the narrative just like ‘Clinton Cash’ did!
The Investigation of Clinton has come up ‘empty’. 1/10/2020

[Sicon]

And Shrillary isn’t on the cover why?

[bert]

OK...... here’s the deal

Hillary cash flowed from the collecting vessel called the Clinton foundation

Obama, Biden, Kerry, Pelosi cash flowed from the collecting vessel called Burisima

Cash flowed from the collecting vessels into various and sundry off shore corporations for use by the principles.

[Sir Napsalot]

There will be an coordinated all out effort to ignore, cover-up and/or make-excuse from the Left.

Otherwise, there will be fresh new “breaking news” “scandal” “squirrels” to distract viewers/readers.

Time to roll out another episode of how much Michelle Obama (or Chelsea Clinton) is warmly received/beloved on whatever she does/they do.

[momincombatboots]

Because truth and facts suddenly matter to dems. Just like blind justice and equal treatment. I call bs on this one. No one in the previous admin has bern held accountable, nor will they.
You have to ask why not? But then, I think we all know.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

I’ll buy the book, but once again *yawn* wake me when an elite goes to jail.

[PJ-Comix]

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH)

Now my interest is up. I keep getting emails from Brown begging for bucks. What for? He is not up for re-election until 2024.

[zeestephen]

Nervous? LOL!

The MSM will discredit it - then ignore it.

No one appointed by President Trump is going to investigate the allegations.

No one at Trump’s DOJ will vigorously prosecute the Hard Left malefactors.

No jury in Washington D.C. will convict any Democrat of a politically related crime.

Biden’s Corruption Problem
Powerline ^ | Aug. 2, 2019 | John Hinderaker
FR Posted on 8/3/2019, 9:54:14 AM by libstripper

Joe Biden is being portrayed as the Democrats’ safest potential presidential nominee, despite his obvious flaws as a candidate. But one wonders how Biden’s history of swamp corruption will play if he actually faces the scrutiny of a national run. Biden’s family has gotten wealthy, like those of so many low-paid “public servants”–Tom Daschle and Harry Reid are obvious examples. How does that happen? Politico headlines: “Biden Inc. Over his decades in office, ‘Middle-Class Joe’s’ family fortunes have closely tracked his political career.”

It begins: (Excerpt) Read more at powerlineblog.com ...

=================================

ITEM Joe Biden’s younger brother James received a series of “unusually generous” bank loans during the 1970s, while the former vice president served on the Senate Banking Committee. Politico reported that James Biden, who has a history of murky financial dealings, was able to parlay his role as the chief fundraiser for his brother’s 1972 Senate run into the startup capital required to open a nightclub. The loans were considered “unusually generous” given that the younger Biden was a salesman without any business experience and purportedly had a net worth of less than $10,000 at the outset of the venture in 1973. Another key component of the story, which was widely covered by local media in Delaware and Pennsylvania at the time, is that the loans appeared to draw concerns over influence peddling, as Joe Biden had just been appointed to the Senate Banking Committee.

CIRCA 2012 Crony capitalism & Joe Biden’s brother
SOURCE https://nypost.com/2012/10/23/crony-capitalism-joe-bidens-brother/
By Charles Gasparino, NY POST, October 23, 2012

James Biden isn’t a big name in the business of residential housing development, so what exactly qualifies him to work at a construction company and share in the winnings of a $1.5 billion project to build affordable homes in Iraq? If you said it has something to do with his last name, the one shared by his older brother Vice President Joe Biden, you wouldn’t be far off. At least that’s the guess of some Wall Street analysts who cover the Marlton, NJ-based company Hill International and think they’ve seen yet another sordid tale of crony capitalism.

Hill has been around for decades; its main business is managing construction projects in the Middle East and here in America. It’s built a good reputation over the years, as has the father-son team who run it, Irv and David Richter. But the bursting of the real-estate bubble took its toll; Hill shares are down 80 percent since 2008. Since 2011, the company has reported losses. Its Middle East business has also been stymied by the Arab Spring uprisings; in Libya alone, Hill is out $60 million in payments that it’s still trying to recover.

But it got some good news not long after its housing subsidiary hired James Biden as an executive vice president in late 2010. Just six months later, Hill won one of its biggest contracts ever, a $1.5 billion deal to build at least 100,000 affordable homes in Iraq. A good deal for Hill, a relative newcomer to building homes — and for James Biden, who as one partner will get a good share of that $1.5 billion.

The deal is contingent on the Iraqi government providing financing, which it has yet to do, but Hill execs tell analysts the money could start flowing by the end of the year. That’s when everyone involved, James Biden included, will start collecting on tens of millions of dollars in profits.

One friend of James Biden’s estimates his net worth at around $7 million, yet he seems to have a remarkable lack of concrete business experience. An attorney who’s done work for him called him a “serial entrepreneur,” but didn’t name the startups he was responsible for. Hill chief Irv Richter called Biden a “good salesman” and the firm’s Web site describes “40 years of experience dealing with principals in business, political, legal and financial circles across the nation and internationally.”

(James Biden also had a relatively short and somewhat controversial run as a co-owner of a hedge-fund company with Joe’s son Hunter. The company, as it turns out, was marketed by companies controlled by now convicted Ponzi schemer Allen Stanford. Neither Biden was charged, but Stanford went to jail and the company is kaput.)

No, James Biden’s obvious value comes from his connection to the Obama administration. Richter assures me that James’ ties to Joe played no part in landing the plum assignment in Iraq or any of the other government-related jobs Hill has received recently.

Really? Connect these dots: Both the Iraqi government and the Obama State Department played roles in helping Hill win the assignment, Richter concedes. And Joe Biden is President Obama’s point man on Iraq — a country where people expect politicians’ families to be “taken care of.”

Also key is TRAC Development, a South Korean firm that won the master contract for the Iraq work. And — huh! — James Biden and his wife were guests of President Obama and Michelle for last October’s state dinner honoring the president of South Korea, Lee Myung-bak. All one big coincidence?

Well, Richter insists that, while Biden’s name and connections might open doors when government business is on the line, that doesn’t guarantee success. “If he had the name Obama, he would get in the door easier,” Richter joked. During this month’s vice-presidential debate, Joe Biden told Americans to just ignore all that stimulus money that went to administration-connected failures like Solyndra. Crony capitalism, he insisted, hardly exists with Joe Biden and Barack Obama watching the store.

Maybe that’s why the veep, after making that dopey statement, was laughing so much that night.

[Thank You Rush]

He’s written some great books over the years and I don’t expect this one to be any less interesting than the others. I’ll have to wait a long time for it to be in the library but I have plenty to keep me busy now and lots more library trips before then. For Christmas I received..Donald Trump Jr.’s book, Judge Jeanine’s latest, and Greg Jarrett’s latest.

I don’t know how Judge Jeanine and Greg Jarrett had time to write new books so soon after their last....

...a sweeping, detailed look at how the leading figures of progressivism have leveraged the power of their positions...

That's a dog bites man story, and there's no reason to limit it to progressives. Saying powerful politicians leverage their positions to make money shouldn't surprise anyone

The reality is almost all of this activity is legal. Schweizer's problem is he throws out a lot of innuendo but never brings it home.

I've heard him interviewed many times yet never heard him allege any criminal activity.

The Uranium One thing is a great example. He made it sound so dirty but if you listened closely he never said anything illegal happened. I looks like Huber is about to confirm it.

[centurion316]

I was under the impression that Free Republic was a conservative website and everyone thereon knew the reputation of Peter Schweizer and the credibility of his investigative work. I am clearly wrong. Most of the posters on this thread must be from the Biden Defense Fund publicity team.

Of course, these wags are the usual suspects who insists that the current Administration can and must overthrow the Deep State co-conspirators overnight. It took years to build the organized criminal syndicate that we face in Washington and it will take years to break it.
