Despite former Vice President Joe Biden’s image of being a fighter for the working class, he has actually engaged in behavior that benefitted himself and his family members to the tune of millions of dollars in shady business deals, according to an interview with Government Accountability Institute (GAI) president and Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer, author of the new book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite.
Schweizer, in an interview on Wednesday with SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow, said that dichotomy is represented by Biden being known for riding Amtrak home every day but also by his habit of holding up the train whenever he was running late.
“Yeah, Joe does ride the train all the time, but if Joe’s running late, Joe calls Amtrak, and they hold the entire train until Joe shows up, which is great for Joe [but] the other commuters are probably going, ‘What the heck’s going on? Why is the train not moving?'” Schweizer said. “So that to me represents the dichotomy between the image we have of Joe, which is Amtrak Joe, and the reality of how he abuses that power.”
Schweizer discussed several examples of Biden’s abuses of power he laid out in his book.
He said after Biden became vice president and the point person on China, his son Hunter Biden began to benefit from deals with the Chinese government. He said:
You have this situation where Joe Biden becomes vice president of the United States. He is the point person on China, he’s somewhat of an old hand on China because he’s on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee all those years, traveled to China. He becomes vice president and then suddenly, sort of out of the blue, his son Hunter gets these deals...

Now you know that’s just PDJT and Rudy planting false and misleading info. Hunter’s never even been to eastern Yewwwrope. /s
Exposing their treason and other corruption is one thing...getting something done about it is another.
Did not know about the Frank Biden car accident.
At the Senate trial, Trump counsel Patrick Philbin told the Senate the putative "whistleblower" may have had a "conflict of interest"
Philbin said the "whistleblower" may have had a "conflict of interest" because (as an Obama CIA operative) he may have been involved in decisions WRT then-VP Biden and the Ukranian company, Burisma.
The w/b may have had a "reason to deep-six" a rekindled Ukraine investigation.

Suspected whistleblower, Obama's CIA operative Eric Ciaramella, in glasses, in a 2015 photo, taking notes
alongside VP Biden adviser Michael Carpenter & NSC's Liz Zentos in Obama WH meeting w/ Ukrainian officials.
Carpenter later appeared in Biden's infamous video demanding "the Ukranian son of a bitch prosecutor" be fired.
========================================
Earlier at a different hearing, Texas Repub Gohmert asked former Ukraine finance minister Natalie Jaresko.
"Are you aware of Ukrainian parliamentarian Bielkova's April 12 meetings
with Liz Zentos, Eric Ciaramella and VP Biden's aid in the Obama WH, at a National Security Council meeting?”
Jaresko said she was not aware of any meetings.
Fired Ukrainian ex-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin has demanded that the Ukrainian State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) open criminal proceedings against former U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden for illegal influence on him as the prosecutor general of Ukraine.
"I ask you to register that a criminal offense was made against me in the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations by a US citizen, Joseph Biden, which happened on the territory of Ukraine and abroad, namely, interference with the activities of a law enforcement officer, the responsibility for which is provided for in Part 2 of Article 343 of Ukraine's Criminal Code."
" Immediately start a pretrial investigation and give written instructions to SBI investigators," Shokin said in a statement to the acting SBI director delivered by Shokin's lawyers.
Shokin said he agreed to resign as prosecutor general of Ukraine due to Biden pressure.
I cannot wait to read this book. Currently sitting on my night stand but I have a couple hundred pages of another book to finish first.
This has all been debunked by Morning Joe, Jake, Rachel, and Chrissy.
This book is amazing in detail and makes an overwhelming case showing not only the corruption of the Biden family, but of many in our political class.
We live in a twilight zone. Consider for a second that our politicians are donating billions (with a B) to foreign entities. Politicians and business leaders in those countries are in turn donating or transferring millions to the very politicians (or their families) who arranged the transfer.
This is the very definition of corruption and it deserves to be investigated fully and thoroughly with a complete report to the American taxpayer. While it appears that many democrats (they were in power) have the high scores, I believe some republicrats engaged in this also.
A pox on all their houses. Barr should be all over this. The media should be all over this. Judicial Watch should be all over this. People should be really pissed off. The President should announce proposed legislation creating a special master for all foreign aid of any type to not only monitor how all funds are used with a full accounting by the recipient government or entity and the state department.
The democrats use this same model to transfer wealth to leftist organizations and our state department is complicit in this. It is a crime!!!!!!
Just to pick nits... the flag in the frame has 48 stars not 50.
It’s in the WH-——it’s a collector’s item.
Politico published in-depth exposé on financial ties between the former VP’S younger brother, James, and a high-powered D.C. lobbyist.
<><> James and his wife purchased an acre of land in the Virgin Islands for $150,000 in May 2005. A year later, James resold 1/3rd of that acre to Scott Green, a ‘national security lobbyist who formerly served a Senate staffer for Joe Biden. Green paid $150,000 for the land, even though tax assessed value was only $38,000. “In effect, James got their money back while keeping most of the land—recouping their investment in just 12 months.
Any money that Green may have lost through the deal was offset when Joe Biden became vice president. In 2010 Green and members of the lobbying firm he founded, the Lafayette Group, were frequent visitors at the Obama-Biden White House.
That year Green’s ties to the Biden clan seemed to be especially beneficial. On April 11, 2010, the Lafayette Group was awarded two taxpayer-funded contracts from FEMA worth a total of $5.8 million.ed.
<><> Other members of the Biden family did just as well. Joe Biden’s other brother, Frank, benefited from $54 million in taxpayer-backed loans to Caribbean nations heavily involved in real estate and solar power projects he was pursuing in the region. ...even though he lacked a background in solar energy or international real estate development.

<><> Similarly, the former vice president’s sister, Valerie, received millions in fees during the 2008 election. Valerie, who served as the campaign manager for her brother’s failed presidential campaign that year, paid her own consulting firm, Joe Slade White & Company, $2.5 million for its services.
"Team Biden was tasked to be on the lookout for pre-teens to be photoed with Joe."
