Email is unrelated to the laptop or hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden

EXCLUSIVE: A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former Vice President Joe Biden's current running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned.

An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject line “Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15, 2017, Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic contacts for phase one target projects.”

The email is unrelated to the laptop or hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, the former vice president's son.

READ THE EMAIL HERE.

The list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.

It is unclear if any of the Democrats were ever contacted about the “target projects.”

The email was sent from Jim to Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, Rob Walker and James Gilliar.

Bobulinksi was an institutional investor who was recruited by the Biden family to run their joint-venture with now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.

Not all Republicans are clean..................

Truth be known, every damn member of Congress has probably committed at least one felony to get where they are.

Gavin Newsom’s Restaurant Group Nabbed a Six-Figure Federal Stimulus Loan

...California Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose Plumpjack group of restaurants, bars, wineries, hotels, and event spaces borrowed as much as $350,000 from the federal government.

Gavin Newsom’s $3.7 Million Estate Was Gifted to Him in 2019; 3 Months Later He Got a $2.7 Million Tax Free Cash-Out

Gavin Newsom’s $3.7 million, 12,000 square foot mansion, on 8+ acres along the American River in Sacramento, was the area’s most expensive home sale in 2018

The gated estate consists of a 6 bedroom/10 bath home, a guest house, a pool, a tennis court, and a wine cave

An LLC registered to Newsom’s cousin, long-time business partner, and Co-President of PlumpJack, Jeremy Scherer, paid cash for the estate in December 2018

Newsom’s spox, though, claimed in Jan 2019 that it was Newsom who’d paid cash for the home – puzzling, since Newsom still carried a $3.2 million mortgage on his prior home

In Oct 2019 the LLC gifted the home to the Newsoms free and clear, claiming Newsom was a member of the LLC to avoid a $4,000 Transfer Tax

In January 2020 the Newsoms received $2.7 million tax-free when they obtained a cash-out refinance

Newsom’s financial disclosure forms don’t mention the LLC or the gifts, which far exceed the $500 limit

In 2003, Newsom was cited for failing to disclose $11 million in real estate and business loans

An initial investment by (Gordon) Getty in Mt. Eden Winery, located on 53 acres of vineyard land in Oakville, soured quickly, so he bought out the other investors and brought in his lifelong friend, entrepreneur Gavin Newsom (later mayor of San Francisco, two-term Lieutenant Governor of California and now Governor). Together they founded The PlumpJack Group in 1992 and opened the PlumpJack wine store, then expanding to include a boutique hotel, three restaurants and, in 1997, PlumpJack Winery (replacing Mt. Eden).

At least eight more billionaires or spouses of billionaires recently donated to the Lincoln Project, a super-PAC led by former Republican consultants trying to defeat Donald Trump in November.

The largest billionaire contribution came from oil heir Gordon Getty, who gave $1 million to the super-PAC last month, according to committee records filed with the Federal Election Commission Wednesday.

They should go back and look at Biden's tax returns in the decade prior to him becoming VeeP. His charitable contributions averaged around $370 per year, on annual joint incomes of upwards of $300K. Barely above 1%.

The Bidens had deep pockets and short arms, except when it became politically expedient to appear to be charitable around 2007 or so.

(Kamala, btw, only donated 1.1% of her income last year to charity.)

This is linked to a UN bribery case as well--shades of Oil for Food:

Ho and former Senegalese foreign minister Cheikh Gadio were arrested in New York in late November 2017, charged with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and money laundering. The pair offered a US$2 million bribe to the president of Chad for oil rights, and deposited a US$500,000 bribe to an account designated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uganda on behalf of CEFC. The million-dollar bribes were dressed as donations.[7] The energy fund, chaired by Ye Jianming, denied authorising Ho to engage in corrupt practices.[8][9] On 5 December 2018, Ho was convicted on seven counts of bribery and money laundering, following a federal trial in which Gadio stood as a witness for prosecutors.[10][11] He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment and fined $400,000 in March 2019.[12] After being imprisoned at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York, as of 9 June 2020, the South China Morning Post reported that Ho has been released and deported to Hong Kong. Patrick Ho

Patrick Ho was sentenced to 36 months in jail on March 25 for UN bribery and having "sold weapons enthusiastically," along with a $400,000 fine imposed by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Loretta Preska. During his trial, covered every day by Inner City Press which was and is banned from entering the UN amid its reporting linking current UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to the scandal through the Gulbenkian Foundation from his he received payments undisclosed on his public financial form covering 2016, an audio clip was played for the jury, see below. Now in mid July Ho has filed his appeal in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. While Inner City Press is still pouring over the hundreds of pages in the Appendices, including many exhibits which the U.S. Attorney's Office never despite requests made available, even the first day of review finds that Patrick Ho met through the UN, among others, Croatia's President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović (to go along with CEFC's purchase of the Czech Republic as then chair of UN ECOSOC) and the foreign minister of Turkey. We'll have more on this - note that the Guterres-supporting UN Correspondents Association had a First Vice President then as now promoting the Turkish government. There is also this line from Ho's report to Ye on his UN lobbying at the highest levels: We, China Energy Fund Committee, are willing to provide support and assistance in the selection of programs and topics by the United Nations. In return, hopes that they would give more consideration to the China factor and more voices to China when formulating programs.” So how is is possible that Antonio Guterres has refused to even begin a UN Office of Internal Oversight Services of CEFC China Energy's lobbying and bribery in the UN?. . . UN Briber Patrick Ho In Appeal Reveals More Lobbying In UN For China Met Croatia President No Audit

Incidentally, how does Biden plan to support the Green New Deal and big oil lobbyists at the same time? Of course, it works for Al Gore.
