“By protecting the Bidens, they’re protecting all their corrupt selves. Theses kickbacks from “Foreign Aid” involve hundreds in Washington, DC. It’s how they go to DC with no net worth to speak of, and return home after a few terms, multi-millionaires. Maxine Waters, or Bernie Sanders might be Exhibit-A.”

TRUTH!
Bears repeating.
What we’re observing here is a spigot for a huge money laundering scheme. The politicians vote for huge “Foreign Aid” packages. That Taxpayer money goes to these corrupt governments in exchange for kickbacks. Those go into a pool of taxpayer dollars from which these politicians draw their filthy lucre. Huge salaries to unqualified friends and family is one way to launder the money. No Work contracts worth half million a year in salary. Another way is through the Best Seller scheme. Print up a warehouse full of books and ‘sell’ them in exchange for political favors. The methods for collecting from this pool of corruption is endless.

This is all about protecting the colossal corrupt organization that our political process has evolved into. They hate Donald Trump because he’s not in on the game and seeks to destroy it!

Protecting Hunter Biden is to not wake up the humble masses that all of DC has Soprano like kick back schemes because if they did they'd fire 80% and start over.

It's bad enough the mean age of the Senate makes it more like a retirement community than anything else, it's way beyond time to clean house there.

Every freaking Dept in DC needs to be moved to places they never would want to go, build cheap warehouse like structures near the swamps in LA, or out in the cold on ND, especially State Dept and Justice, you won't retire and your Union jobs / Obama appointment makes you think your here forever? Welcome to your transfer to East-Bumb-****.....

They are not protecting Hunter Biden. They are protecting themselves. They have been using Ukraine to laundry money and enrich themselves and their familise on a massive level.

This.

I would think that Hunter’s father is the seriously guilty one. He’s the gang leader.

Yes. And the grease throughout that machine is...lawyers.

Lawyers turned politicians. Lawyers turned judges. Lawyers running fed departments. Staffs full of lawyers. Lawyers talking on MSM.

What is Trump not? A lawyer.

They aren’t protecting Hunter. Well, not just Hunter. They no doubt believe (correctly I believe) that if Hunter gets scared or cornered or confused or just stupid (all quite likely) he’ll start naming names. Too many powerful people, the kind of people who order Arkanicide or Epstein like “solutions” to problems are nervous about that. The ‘rats have their marching orders, keep Hunter out of this.

Creepy Uncle Joe will get away with this one, as usual. He just has to make the case that he's oblivious and not all there mentally. Who could argue against him, especially if he gropes another child as a distraction from his family's corruption?

Tug on the Hunter Biden thread for a while and you’ll see a whole lot of democrat corruption fall out.

If I were a betting man, I would bet that the Clinton Foundation was the clearing house for laundering money.

Some people think of a billion as two million. The prefix “bi” usually means two. We should say “a thousand million” more often.

You would be right......remember Billy's "pass-through" account. Money goes in by day and out by night....with no trace.

Could have gone anywhere....a numbered offshore account, a hedge fund, a politicians' (cough ) do good non-profit....... and so on

HUMANITARIAN FOREIGN AID OUR TAXES FINANCE---what really happens to "humanitarian" US foreign aid to these backwater ****holes.

CIRCA 2013--Guatemalan President stole foreign aid millions for his personal use;
thieving Guatemalan was elected to "redistribute" the dirt-poor nation's wealth.

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

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

Congress needs to curtail funding the heinous Mexican Merida Initiative---Mexico collects hundreds of millions of
US tax dollars for humanitarian aid and to fiance the "drug problem" they bring to our shores.......a problem they created.

State Department says US cutting off aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras
Collusion News Network ^ | 1:48 PM ET, Sat March 30, 2019 | Greg Clary / FR Posted by E. Pluribus Unum

(CNN) The United States is cutting off aid to the Northern Triangle, otherwise known as the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, the State Department told CNN Saturday, one day after President Donald Trump said they had "set up" migrant caravans for entry into the United States. "We were paying them tremendous amounts of money. And we're not paying them anymore. Because they haven't done a thing for us. They set up these caravans," Trump said Friday.

"At the Secretary's instruction, we are carrying out the President's direction and ending FY 2017 and FY 2018 foreign assistance programs for the Northern Triangle," a State Department spokesperson said. "We will be engaging Congress as part of this process."

On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen signed what she called a "first of its kind" regional compact agreement with the Northern Triangle countries aimed at preventing irregular migration, combating criminal organizations and ultimately helping with US border security.

Trump threatened to cut off or substantially reduce aid to the Northern Triangle before saying in an October tweet the countries, "were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the US."

But experts have said cutting off aid is likely to increase the number of migrants leaving the countries and heading for the United States.

According to the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, comprised of retired diplomats, military leaders and members of Congress, aid programs in the three countries are working to address the "root causes of violence" in order to "promote opportunity and security for their citizens."

Officials would not say exactly how much money would be affected by the directive with some of it likely already spent...

So What if the Clinton Foundation Fleeced Norway? Bring on the Chardonnay!
PJ Media ^ | 11 Mar 2019 | Bruce Bawer / FR Posted by Rummyfan
Hillary Clinton visited Norway last March, an event that brings to mind that, adjusting for population,
no country has been more generous to the Clintons stupendously sordid con operation than the land of the fjords.

The numbers are shocking. Between 2007 and 2016, the Norwegian government transferred no less than 640 million kroner in taxpayer money to the Clinton Foundation. Given the average exchange rate during that period, that sum would’ve been roughly equivalent to $100 million. This means that each and every Norwegian citizen, without being asked, put about $20 into the pockets of the Clintons' crooked enterprise.

AND GET THIS: The official reason for the massive payout was that the Norwegian government wanted to (cough) help mothers and children in Africa. But in 2016, Norway’s newspaper, Aftenposten, reported that Stephen Gillers, an NYU ethics expert, said that the real motive (gasp) was to buy influence for Norway in the corridors of American power.
