Either flimsy case to begin with or Xi Jinping is calling in his markers.
Envelopes have been exchanged.
10% for the Big Guy is all it cost.
They don't need to tell us. Everybody knows why.
Something in exchange for Hunter’s art?

Co-worker of mine was a Chinese PhD (obtained in US @ UC Davis, not in China).
He told me that he was invited to parties in Sacramento where it turned out they were self criticism sessions run by a PLA officer, to keep the Chinese students and emigres on the party line.
This plant is one of those people. Northern California is honeycombed with them. It’s basically a Chinese colony now, with their legions infiltrated throughout most of the larger companies and kept in line by Chinese State political enforcers.
Xi snaps his fingers...
Xiden jumps...
Get use to it... It’s only going to get worse...
I think the why is pretty obvious, though the specific mechanisms are unknown. Someone bought a worthless painting for $500K? Someone in Beijing made a phone call to someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? A prosecutor found out they were being reassigned to Nome Alaska?
