Where’s Hunter Biden? That’s been a question for months. The screw-up son who admits economic opportunities come his way due to his last name and who his father is has become the weakest link of the Biden 2020 campaign. It all started with his son’s ties to a Ukraine energy company, where he was paid $50,000/month to sit on its board despite having zero experience in the energy sector. Hunter was allegedly there to sell access to top Obama officials at the time. This all occurred in 2014 when his dad, Papa Joe, the vice president, was spearheading anti-corruption efforts in the country.
Then, there’s this issue with his board position on BHR Partners, a private Chinese equity firm that’s run by Joe Biden and John Kerry’s children. Once again, we have another swampy deal, as Hunter walked out of China with a cool $1 billion contract after he took a trip there with daddy in 2013 (via WSJ):
Hunter Biden, a 49-year-old lawyer and the second son of the former vice president, owns 10% of a private-equity firm called Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co.
Over the past roughly six years, it has channeled $2.5 billion or more on behalf of its financial backers into automotive, energy, mining and technology deals, according to interviews with people familiar with the private-equity firm and a review by The Wall Street Journal of financial filings and other official business records.
Hunter Biden is one of nine directors of the firm, known as BHR Partners, which is controlled and funded primarily by large Chinese government-owned shareholders.
President Trump has alleged that Hunter Biden benefited from Chinese government largess and “walked out of China with $1.5 billion in a fund.” Mr. Trump has also drawn attention to the fact that BHR Partners was officially registered 12 days after Hunter Biden in December 2013 flew to Beijing aboard Air Force Two, while his father made an official visit as vice president.
Hunter said he would resign from the board in October, but as the Daily Caller News Foundation discovered, he’s still a board member:
In a statement issued Oct. 13 by his lawyer, Hunter Biden pledged to resign his position on BHR’s board “on or by October 31.” The statement did not say whether Hunter Biden intended to relinquish his ownership stake in the Chinese private equity firm.
Hunter Biden’s pledge received widespread media coverage in The Washington Post, The New York Times and elsewhere.
[…]
As of Tuesday, BHR’s file on China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (NECIPS) still lists Hunter Biden as being a director of BHR.
Qixinbao, an independent service that provides registration information on Chinese corporations, also listed Hunter Biden as a member of the BHR board on Tuesday.
Hunter is a mess. He has a China issue and a Ukraine one, the latter has never been fully diffused by his father’s campaign and it came up every time it was brought up, much to the irritation of the former vice president. Perhaps that’s why he was sent away because this whole thing stinks. It’s a bit odd when the response to all of this is ‘we didn’t do anything wrong, but we’ll never do it again.’ In the meantime, it's a good thing Hunter made that Burisma money since he has some serious expenditures on his docket due to fathering a love child with a stripper.
Didn’t Hunter also claim to be unemployed to an Arkansas court?
Until these people are taken out and horse whipped,tarred and feathered,nothing will change.
Exile him to China.
This is much more than a “swampy deal” as stated in the article, it’s bribery of the son of the Democrat presidential candidate. It’s frankly amazing that this connection still exists, and it goes to how far gone Biden’s mental status is.
Well golly. I’m willing to bet he’s been paid handsomely the entire time when he was supposed to be off the board.
I didn’t think we could have people who are more dedicated grifters then the Clintons, or the Obamas, but the Bidens really seem to be gunning for first place.
Isn't that clever ... Robert Hunter Biden initials backwards. No actual partners?
Is that in China because the Panama haven got exposed on Wikileaks?
What can you say, protected class
The majority of the leadership of the DemonRat party are cucks of the Red Chinese. When are they going to be arrested for treason?
White privilege..?
Barr?
He was obviously too busy fighting child support claims for his bastard child - to find time to submit his resignation.
One of them there “oversight” things the privileged are always claiming - right after they’re caught lying.
I’m certain that this must simply be an administrative snafu; probably still translating his resignation letter to Mandarin.
Nice catch........he lies about everything.....an inherited Biden trait.
His Ark baby momma needs to bring that to the court.
I’d pay for Hunter to exile in Wuhan.....b/c I’m just a really nice person.
MORE FROM DAILY CALLER:
BHR manages the equivalent of $2.1 billion in assets, according to its website. Hunter Biden has served as an unpaid member of BHR’s board since its founding in 2013, and in October 2017 he obtained his equity stake in the firm with a $420,000 investment, according to Mesires.
NOTE-—BHR got its money’s worth. Hunter Biden arranged for his dad, then-Vice President Joe Biden to meet and greet the CEO of BHR in December 2013. Just shaking hands with the US VP is worth zillions in shady world of global politics.
The meeting caused some White House advisors to worry whether the younger Biden was exposing his father to criticism, The New Yorker magazine reported. (cue laugh machine here)
In a statement issued Oct. 13 by his lawyer, Hunter Biden pledged to resign his position on BHR’s board “on or by October 31.”
The statement did not say whether Hunter Biden intended to relinquish his ownership stake in the Chinese private equity firm.
Hunter Biden’s pledge received widespread media coverage in The Washington Post, The New York Times and elsewhere.
Joe Biden, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, lauded his son’s announcement at the time.
“The statement my son put out today, which I saw when he put it out — I was told it was going to be put out, I did not consult with him about what’s being put out — in fact represents the kind of man of integrity he is,” Joe Biden said in October.
The former vice president pledged in December that none of his family members, including Hunter Biden, would engage in foreign business activities were he to become the next president.
As of Tuesday, BHR’s file on China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (NECIPS) still lists Hunter Biden as being a director of BHR.
Qixinbao, an independent service that provides registration information on Chinese corporations, also listed Hunter Biden as a member of the BHR board on Tuesday.
BHR has not responded to numerous inquiries seeking clarification on why Chinese business records continue to list Hunter Biden as a member of its board.
Hunter Biden’s continued presence on BHR’s business file does not appear to be due to a processing delay in the NECIPS. The Chinese business records site shows a change for BHR was submitted as recently as March 24 to reflect the resignation of Hunter Biden’s business partner, Eric Schwerin, as the firm’s supervisor.
Schwerin’s relationship with Hunter Biden dates back to at least 2008 when the pair served as lobbyists for Oldaker, Biden & Belair.
Hunter Biden’s company, Skaneateles, also retains its 10% equity stake in BHR, according to the Chinese business records. Hunter Biden is the sole listed beneficial owner of Skaneateles, Washington, D.C. business records show.

Hunter’s money-making Skaneateles’s company listed address is also the listed address for the $3.8 million designer home in Los Angeles that Hunter Biden is reportedly renting out for $12,000 a month.......this according to Skaneateles’s business records in Washington, D.C.
Mesires, Hunter Biden’s lawyer, did not tell the DCNF why Chinese business records still list Hunter Biden as being a member of BHR’s board and did not provide any documents relating to his pledged departure from the Chinese firm.
The Biden campaign did not return a request for comment.
Hunter Biden was being paid $83,333.33 a month on the Ukraine board...a total of $1 MILLION a year. He got the same deal for his ‘business partner.
That is $2 MILLION a year in taxpayer funds used as AID to Ukraine that Hunter/partner stole.
What this all really means is that JOE BIDEN doesn’t have enough sand to cover up all of Hunter’s crap.
Heavy usage by Trump campaign will follow.
