Yahoo Confirms Hunter Biden Story: Weapon Sales to Africa, Chinese Intel, $1M Retainer
truthpress ^ | 4/11/2022

Posted on 04/12/2022 7:37:50 AM PDT by bitt

Hunter Biden knew he was working with associates who were high up in Chinese intelligence circles, according to a new report.

The report published Monday by Yahoo News delves into the connections between Hunter Biden and Patrick Ho, referred to as Patrick Ho Chi-ping in some reports concerning Ho’s 2018 bribery conviction that was linked to arms dealing and bribery in Africa.

Yahoo’s report is written by Michael Isikoff, its chief investigative correspondent, and Zach Dorfman, its national security correspondent. Both are veteran and respected journalists.

(Isikoff is probably best known as the reporter then working for Newseek who had the story in 1998 about independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s investigation of then-President Bill Clinton and his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, but lost the scoop to the Drudge Report because Newsweek sat on it.)

Ho, who was a former Hong Kong government minister, and Ye Jianming, an energy tycoon who had links in his past to China’s People’s Liberation Army, had formed a business partnership with Hunter Biden and James Biden, who is President Joe Biden’s brother.

In November 2017, Ho was arrested by FBI agents at New York’s JFK Airport as part of what Isikoff and Dorfman called “an audacious plot to dole out millions of dollars in bribes to African leaders in exchange for major energy contracts that appeared to advance Chinese government interests.”

Yahoo reported in 2018 that Ho’s first phone call after his arrest was to James Biden. He asked Biden to get him a lawyer.

You know he’s in trouble when Yahoo reports it.

**SPIT**

Damage has already been done.

How different would this country look today if Mr. Trump was in office?

Bye Bye Joe. Its confirmed. You are no longer useful to the deep-state, and they’ve decided to push you down the basement stairs.

That the Department of Justice has not charged Hunter and his crime family “Big Guy” with giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States shows that the DOJ is a collaborator.

One must ask when considering media reports, why now?

The mid terms are on track to be a disaster for the Dems. Creepy Joe is the figurehead for the damage done by the admin. Some group pulling the strings for the Dems has decided it’s worth the gamble to get rid of Joe to try to salvage something from the mid terms.

That’s my guess.

Yup, Joe is not gracefully exiting stage right so the hook is out.

The DOJ/FBI like to leak to yahoo and the NY Times. I'd say something is up and they don't want their media caught flat footed and looking even more foolish by covering up this story.

Peter Schweitzer, NY Post and others reported this in 2020. Yahoo News is bottom of barrel sediment leftard debris. Taking orders from their DemoRat masters. Looks like their agenda switched gears now.

Michael Isakov, the source for Crossfire Hurricane warrants to provide fake evidence to the FISA Court. DNC feeds bogus plan to FBI. FBI feeds story to Isakov. FBI petitions FISA court to spy on Trump using Isakov as source.

Nobody went to jail. I see that Isakov is now being a useful asset to the deep bureaucracy again. The Bidens served their time as useful idiots. Now it's toss them to the wolves time. There is a plan in play and its gone into action around the Obama presser that Jill wasn't around for that was such an embarrassment.

Strokes, drug overdoses, suicides, and dementia is coming for this clan like the four horsemen.

Add gun-runner to crackhead, child molester, grifter and quisling.

This is a family of low white trash criminals.

Yahoo is a Deep State artery! It is surprising though that they could stop Trump bashing for 5 minutes!

DOJ is using the info from Hunter’s laptop in grand jury proceedings forcing the MSM to admit the laptop is legit. The media are doing CYA stories to try to show they’re not biased but none of them are talking about why it’s taken them this long to investigate the laptop and the information on it.

My guess is the DOJ will charge Hunter with some relatively minor things for the purpose of providing a shield against him having to testify before a GOP controlled committee.
