You know somethings up when the media bury a story that would have been a no-brainer for Page One if the subject was a Republican.
A new Senate exposes shocking corruption involving Hunter Biden, who made millions in Ukraine at the natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, when his father, Vice President Joe Biden, was President Obamas Ukraine point man.
Weve long known some of this, but the sheer scope of the influence peddling and sums involved are stunning. The 87-page document also exposes Hunters Russian connections, including a $3.5 million payment from the wife of a former Moscow mayor embroiled in scandal.
A section on China details a web of lucrative ties between Hunter Bidens firms and companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. It also documents many trips he took to China with Secret Service protection and to dozens of other countries.
The deals involve millions of dollars and at least one contract involving Chinas acquisition of an American firm that makes sensitive military technology.
Oh, almost forgot. Theres this, which apparently is not particularly newsworthy:
Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.
Nothing to see here, folks.
In a Democrat rebuttal, Sens. Gary Peters of Michigan and Ron Wyden of Oregon ignore the wealth of documentation and charge that the report is based on conspiracy theories with roots in Russian disinformation. Even before its release, the Democrats in July attacked the report as solely partisan.
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, and Charles Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, say that if the Democrats are going to point a finger, it should be at a mirror.
The Democrats July 14 letter relied on foreign disinformation to create a false and harmful innuendo about the Chairmens oversight work. Many of the allegations Democrats have made against Republicans ... reflect the very patterns of behavior that Democrats themselves have engaged in.
You know, like the fake Russian collusion charge while the Dems themselves paid for the phony Steele dossier full of Russian disinformation that led to the FBI spying on the Trump campaign.
In January and February 2017, the FBI was told that much of the dossier came from Russian sources, and yet the collusion narrative lost steam only after the Mueller Reports release in April 2019.
Democrats then ginned up hysteria over the phone call Mr. Trump made to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They impeached Mr. Trump while ignoring the massive Biden/Ukraine corruption.
Its clear this report terrifies them. The Washington Post, for instance, wrote very little, buried it inside and focused on Democrat talking points, not the findings.
The document unveils a 10-year record of corruption with possibly actionable criminality and a coverup at the highest levels. Its stunning. Here are just a few findings:
Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer joined the board of Burisma Holdings in 2014. Hunter was paid $50,000 a month, though he had no expertise in the field. He and Archer, who had met with Vice President Biden at the White House just before Mr. Biden went to Ukraine on a diplomatic mission, eventually made millions.
Hunter was on Burismas board when firm owner Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly paid a $7 million bribe to shut a corruption case against him. In 2016, Ukraine prosecutor Victor Shokin had another active investigation into Burisma and Mr. Zlochevsky.
According to news reports, then-Vice President Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in United States loan guarantees if Ukraines leaders did not dismiss [Shokin]. After that threat, Ukraines Parliament fired Shokin.
Indeed, in a video that every American deserves to see, Mr. Biden boasts at a Council on Foreign Relations gathering in 2018 that as vice president, he shook down Ukraines leaders:
I said, youre not getting the billion I looked at them and said: Im leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, youre not getting the money. Well, son of a b-tch. (Laughter.) He got fired.
In China, Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the Peoples Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow.
Hunter opened a bank account with Gongwen Dong to fund a $100,000 spending spree with his uncle and aunt, James and Sara Biden, who also received $1.4 million from Hunters firm.
Henniges, an American maker of anti-vibration technologies with military applications, was turned over in 2015 to two Chinese companies with ties to the Communist government. One of the companies was a billion-dollar investment fund, Bohai Harvest (BHR), which was formed in 2013 by a merger of Bohai Capital and Rosemont Seneca Partners.
The latter firm was founded in 2009 by investors including Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz, stepson of then-Secretary of State John Kerry.
The conflicts of interest are so glaring they dont require unpacking.
Any fair-minded person who reads the report might be asking, And Trump got impeached for a phone call? Seriously?
p
Those countries were just for Hunter. What about Iraq for his brother and other family payoffs?
When do arrests start? No oneis doing a damm thing except letting the biden’s get richer. Thus funding the War on DJT
Hunter was a veritable United Nations of Corruption. He made 411 trips to foreign countries .....although he was
conducting personal business, he was assigned a SS detail... meaning Hunter had VERY HIGH approval for what he was doing.
================================
DID OBAMA AND VP BIDEN MONETIZE US FOREIGN POLICY TO ENRICH THEMSELVES?
During the last year and a half of the Obama administration, HHunter Biden was on the board of Ukraine's
corrupt "Burisma Holdings" at the same time his VP father was Obamas point man for foreign policy in Ukraine....
NOTE: Ukraine is a bottomless pit of US foreign aid dollars.
=============================
Judicial Watch is seeking records through six lawsuits and dozens of FOIA requests related to:

<><> Hunters money-making stake in Chinas BHR Partners.

If the first debate question is about Hunter Biden it means Democrats got their hands on the questions.
