The Biden administration only took over the White House last week, but it’s already had to grapple with ethical dilemmas created by the complicated business dealings of Pres. Biden and VP. Harris’s ‘families’....
Bidens youngest son, lobbyist-investor Hunter, profited from the Biden name, specifically in China and Ukraine. His lucrative role with oligarch-linked Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, for instance, was central to former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment.....
Hunter was under a federal tax investigation dating back to 2018 into his foreign associations and accusations of money laundering.
This week, Biden’s brother Frank (not a lawyer) was featured in an ad for a Florida law firm touting his ties to the administration. This week’s reporting isn’t the first time Frank Biden has traded on his last name, and he’s not the only Biden brother to cash in....Joe Biden’s youngest brother James, has created related issues, including through hedge fund Paradigm Global Advisors. He and Hunter took over the group in 2006.
“Don’t worry about investors,” James Biden reportedly told executives ‘on their first day’. “We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”
Another campaign pledge, that no one in Biden’s family would have a West Wing office, was dredged up this week as well after it was confirmed his sister Valerie-—who made $2 million running one of Joe’s campaigns——wouldn’t have real estate near the Oval Office.
Biden lawyers reportedly had a similar talk to one member of Harris’s family. Meena Harris was reminded by that she can’t profit off the name of the former senator...And this week, it became known that Harris’s stepdaughter Ella, inked a modeling contract with leading agency.

Biden brother touts his connection to the president, creating an early headache for administration

WASHINGTON - The Florida law firm that employs President Joe Biden’s brother Frank (not a lawyer) ran a newspaper ad on Inauguration Day touting the brothers’ relationship and shared values, a move that is causing an ethics headache for the administration less than two weeks after Biden took office.
Biden has promised to lead a highly ethical administration, which he has pitched as a contrast to his predecessor, and has adopted unusually strict rules for those serving in his administration, although they do not necessarily apply to family members.
The two-page “advertorial” ran on Jan. 20 in the South Florida-based Daily Business Review to promote the work of the Berman Law Group, which employs Frank Biden as a “non-attorney senior adviser.”
The ad features a smiling photo of Frank Biden and highlights his relationship with the president, stressing their shared values. It focuses on the Berman Law Group’s role in a class-action case against sugar cane growers and Frank Biden’s part in that litigation.
The ad is fashioned to resemble a news story about the firm’s involvement in the sugar cane case, though it is clearly labeled “Advertorial Section.” It cites Frank Biden’s connection with the president multiple times, linking the law firm’s work with the values laid out in President Biden’s agenda.
In the second paragraph of a roughly 1,000-word advertisement, for example, the text says the Berman Law Group sued sugar cane growers “against the backdrop of incoming President Joseph Biden Jr.’s commitment to environmental and social justice, a value shared by his brother and Berman Law Group senior adviser, Frank Biden.”

The Biden Crime Family now has free and easy access to the trillion dollar US Treasury, chock full of our tax dollars........
China (and Hunter) are in the wings to assist the salivating Bidens to slobber at the public trough.
In fact, Joe Biden has already begun the laundering of our tax dollars.The Alleged President has no shame whatsoever .....
says wearing masks is....wait for it...."a good way to start pulling the country together.” (cue hysterical laugh machine here)
===============REALITY CHECK=======================
In July of this year, Natural News reported how California Gov. Gavin Newsom was caught wiring half a billion dollars to communist China as part of a “massive face mask money laundering scheme. Back in April, even the mainstream media was questioning what Newsom was up to when it was revealed that he had wired half a billion dollars to an electric car company in China to supposedly purchase “N-95 masks” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).
FYI---The opportunistic Biden dove headfirst into the "mask" money launder.
How many billions of our tax dollars will Biden send CCP for this shady deal?

Lookout taxpayers.....when Biden wears that worn out "trust me face" with appropriate frown, he's up to no dam good.
More mask mandates says Biden---- While there has been no national mandate, Biden plans to “implement mask mandates nationwide by working with governors and mayors (who are already in on the mask laundering scam),” according to the Biden-Harris transition website. Biden plans to personally call governors and mayors of major cities to encourage mask mandates, NBC News reported Sunday. --snip--- On the campaign trail, Biden said he supported national mask mandates in all federal buildings and all interstate transportation (which doesn’t currently exist), something that could be achieved through an executive order. --snip--
“Please, I implore you, wear a mask,” Biden said in a press conference Monday after meeting with his (cough) coronavirus advisory board.
“Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement, but it is a good way to start pulling the country together.”

(HAT TIP THINDEN: this Covid deal resembles the shady Obama/Biden-era Madison Guarantee/Savings Loan crisis on steroids, as follows:
<><> loans, handouts, govt purchases, and grants go to hand-picked entities and/or corporations...
<><> loans, handouts, govt purchases, and grants go to hand-picked entities and/or corporations...
<><> for public consumption, “straw man” entities go belly up & default....
<><> but the real money is moving through several stops on the way to Cyprus, off-shore banks, etc, for laundering...
<><> the laundered funds are then split;
<><> the usual cast of greedsters in line to cash in: pols of all stripes, Soros, The Clinton Foundation, Obama, Hunter Biden and the Biden Crime Family, etc.....
<><> Another version has bigtime US govt handouts, grants, foreign aid, (and IMF loans like the $5 bill to Ukraine).
