Former FBI Director Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a trust for Joe Biden’s grandchildren as he sought to pursue “some very good and profitable matters” with him. Freeh apparently made the gift April 2016 — while Biden was Obama's outgoing VP... “I would like to explore with him some future work options,” Freeh wrote July 8, 2016. “I believe that working together on these (and other legal) matters would be of value, fun and rewarding."
In another email to Hunter the following year, Freeh described seeing Joe Biden at church earlier in the day “and he said hi walking back from communion–I didn’t get the chance to return greetings.” “If you have his cell and personal email, I’d like to have his contacts (will protect),” Freeh wrote March 12, 2017. “I would like to persuade him to associate with me and FSS—as we have some very good and profitable matters which he could enhance with minimal time.” The initials FSS refer to the law firm Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, where Freeh, a former federal judge, was a partner at the time.
The following month, Freeh wrote Hunter regarding the gift he’d made to the trust for the children of Hunter’s late brother, Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015, and Beau’s wife, Hallie, with whom Hunter later had an affair. “As you know, our family foundation made a $100K contribution to Hallie’s children’s trust last year,” Freeh wrote April 24, 2017. But Freeh said that his accountants “now advise that since the grant did not go to a 501(c) organization, it was not a proper foundation gift” and that he planned to fix the situation by making “a new $100k gift” and having the trust “reimburse the foundation by paying it $100k.”

Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a private trust for Joe Biden’s grandchildren.......that could be construed as a bribe.
Freeh spoke with the then-Vice President in 2016 ‘to explore with him some future work options’, emails from Hunter’s laptop reveal
The bombshell communications from July 2016 raise the question: Was Joe Biden discussing future private business deals while still in office?
In an email marked ‘confidential and privileged’, Freeh wrote to Hunter Former FBI director Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a private trust for Joe Biden’s grandchildren and spoke with the then vice president in 2016 ‘to explore lucrative future work options’ with Hunter as the middle man
Not a bribe.
Just the way our government is run.
It’s the reason we have political parties.
Ideologies are only what the parties sell to the voters.
Deep State: corrupt to the rotten core.
Well, well, well!
Shades of Maggie Haberman
Not only is this influence peddling, it’s also indicative of how the political class view their children as more important than other children. They push estate taxes and other ways to diminish your ability to give your children what you work for, but they have trusts for theirs.
Bombshell
Tik tok
Trust the plan
Keep making arses of yourselves!
Of course it was a bribe.
Note that George W. Bush’s daughter is the co-host of the Today Show. Do you think she was really more attractive and qualified than the thousands of other young women who would love to audition for the job? Of course not. It is a way of roping in the putative “opposition” although her father never really was much of an opponent of the left and her mother was always on the other side. Once this sinecure is provided, GW Bush will speak like a puppet criticizing Trump and his own party members who put him in the presidency. Its a payoff that buys a lot for the media and for their partners on the left.
That's a lot of money on a supposed government salary.
SOP in DC
So Plugs has been getting bribes from Americans as well as Red Chinese spies?
They try to make Freeh and Muller out to be men of great integrity. They’re both dirty sleaze bags. Same for Christopher Wrey. The FBI is rotten to the core.
He has been out of government for ~20 years. I am betting his hourly fee is ~$1500..
How does an “average Joe” acquire enough wealth as a life-long public servant to to set up trust funds for his grandchildren?
Well, by taking 10% for the Big Guy, of course.
From people like Freeh giving him little “gifts.”
All these emails that come out are illegal activity and they aren’t going to arrest him or do anything. The FBI and DOJ are bought. May as well bring Barr back in.
The FBI has been, is, and will be corrupt in the future unless it is gutted and re-established. It, and all of the DOJ, should absolutely not be part of the executive branch. When the executive can squeeze the gonads of the AG and FBI director, rule of law is no more.....
