Biden Family Scandals Are So Much Bigger Than Hunter’s Hookers And Burisma Bribery
The Federalist ^ | 7/25/23 | Margot Cleveland

Posted on 07/26/2023 6:00:42 AM PDT by CFW

When the New York Post broke the news that documents recovered from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop implicated Joe Biden in a pay-to-play scandal, the corporate media — to the extent they didn’t frame the story as Russian disinformation — pretended the reporting solely concerned Hunter Biden’s personal life.

The scandal, however, was never about Hunter’s sordid sex life and history of drug abuse. Rather, it concerned Joe Biden’s abuse of power as vice president for financial gain. But now it reaches much further — including 10 distinct scandals.

Saturated in Scandal

1. The Many (Uncharged) Crimes of Hunter Biden While the current scandals swirling around the laptop are unrelated to Hunter Biden’s sex life or drug abuse, the president’s son features in the first scandal: Evidence indicates Hunter Biden committed numerous crimes, including felonies.

Evidence suggests Hunter Biden acted as an unregistered foreign agent for, at a minimum, Ukraine and China in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The confidential human source’s (CHS) reporting suggests Hunter also accepted bribes from Burisma or alternatively helped extort $10 million from the Ukrainian oil and gas company for himself and his father.

As usual, any reporting by corporate media on the Biden corruption and bribery crimes is Republicans "pounce" or "seize". How dare they! It's all about Hunter's personal life and problems with drug addiction. It's a family matter.

However, I'm not sure how long they can keep up that smokescreen.

Margot Cleveland at the Federalist is always good at boiling things down to the basics and in this article she shows that the basics are that the Biden family has been corrupt for some time and Joe Biden is the ringleader of the family criminal cabal.

FBI Told Delaware U.S. Attorney Weiss It Had Already
Partially Corroborated Biden Bribery Claims, Source Says
The Federalist ^ | 07/24/2023 | Margot Cleveland
FR Posted on 7/24/2023, 12:54:46 PM by SeekAndFind

FBI agents told the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office they had already corroborated multiple details in the FD-1023, a source told The Federalist.

When the Pittsburgh FBI office briefed the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office on evidence implicating Hunter and Joe Biden in a bribery scheme, the agents also told the Delaware team they had already corroborated several aspects of the confidential human source’s claims, an individual familiar with the briefing told The Federalist.

On Thursday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the FD-1023 summary of a confidential human source’s reporting that the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden each $5 million in bribes so the then-Vice President would “protect” Burisma “from all kinds of problems.”

Those bribes were in addition to the more than $4 million in total paid to Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer for sitting on Burisma’s board of directors.

The Federalist has now learned that the Pittsburgh FBI office had corroborated several details contained in the FD-1023 as part of the intake process that former Attorney General William Barr established before the election under the leadership of the Western District of Pennsylvania’s then-U.S. Attorney Scott Brady.

Significantly, in briefing the Delaware U.S. attorney on the results of their office’s screening of evidence related to Ukraine, the Pittsburgh FBI agents told the Delaware office they had corroborated multiple facts included in the FD-1023, an individual with knowledge of the briefing told The Federalist.

snip........

The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland immediately noted that the Confidential Human Source’s account directly contradicted Biden’s explanation for triggering the firing, writing that the Burisma executive’s alleged statement to the CHS “proves significant because Joe Biden had long claimed he pushed for Shokin’s firing because Shokin was not investigating Burisma — which is the exact opposite of the details summarized in the FD-1023.”

The FD-1023 includes a recollection from the CHS, who said Burisma bigwigs weren’t concerned about the claimed $10 million in bribery funds ever being discovered because
<> they “did not send funds directly to “the big guy” (a reference to Joe Biden?),
<>and that the payments to the Bidens had been routed through so many companies and bank accounts that it would take investigators ten years to trace the payments to Joe Biden.”

House Oversight Committee Republicans have produced bank records showing millions of dollars in foreign (largely Chinese) money flowing to nine different Biden family members through an intricate series of some 22 shell corporations — quite possibly underscoring a modus operandi, at the very least.

It’s all about giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States in return for cash, including (at least) 10% for the “Big Guy.”

In major shift, RFK Jr. calls for corruption investigation of Joe Biden!

Presidential candidate says release of FBI informant memo last week escalated his concern.

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed tactics Sunday and demanded for the first time an investigation into possible corruption by President Joe Biden, his party’s standard bearer.

Kennedy’s request was prompted by the release last week of an FBI informant report that alleged that Biden was part of a $10 million bribery scheme involving an Ukraine company that hired his son Hunter.

The report released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) alleges Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky told a the informant that he was “coerced” into paying the Bidens $10 million to get a Ukrainian investigation shut down.

“I have avoided criticizing the president because I’m trying to bring people together and end some of the vitriol, the poison that’s made politics so poisonous,” Kennedy told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Joe Biden was put into local power by East Coast labor unions, and has always been a cookie-cutter variant of all that entailed. He's a greedy, amoral influence peddler who does what he is told as long as he gets a cut.

There’s another thing that few in elected office seem to want Americans to know. That is, that most all of them are on the take in some fashion.

Years ago, a congressman in my hometown asked my father if he would run for elected office. He was a business friend of dad’s, and said a man like Dad was needed. Plus, going to Congress was where people got “healthy”.

My dad was a smart, passionate, and principled man. He would’ve made a great representative for the area, but because he was principled, he said he would’ve felt dirty by being there. There’s a lot of back scratching and elbow-rubbing that goes on in the “hallowed” halls of Congress.

Ever see a poor Congress Critter? What Joe and his family did is what a lot of them do. They wheel and deal.

They don’t think this is criminal behavior. Honor among thieves.

The biggest Biden scandal is that Hunter Biden, along with Devon Archer and the step son of Secretary of State John Kerry, used their Rosemont Seneca private equity scam to take billions of dollars from the Chinese to acquire American companies with strategic dual use technology critical for the Chinese to exploit stolen American defense technology.

Joe Biden and possibly John Kerry used their influence to get the critical CIFUS government approval on the sale of US companies with sensitive defense related technology and products for the projects which would never have happened without Biden's intervention.

They got busted and this is common knowledge in Washington. It was a bit of scandal and it resulted in John Kerry's step son from publicly resigning from Rosemont Seneca and supposedly surrendering his interest in the venture.

Wonder why the Chinese have made such rapid progress in military and even commercial technology?

Massive espionage and theft of technology is a major part, but capture of the practical dual use know how and manufacturing capability that enables the manufacturing of these advanced systems is an even more important component of their rapid progress.

They have made a 60 year leap technical capability in less than a decade thanks to people like Joe Biden who have sold out country out for peanuts and chump change.

Joe Biden used the office of the Vice President of the United States to enrich himself by providing the Chinese Communist Party with control of American tech companies possessing dual use technology critical to exploiting the defense industry espionage the the CCP collected.

This is treason.

America is paying a terrible price to keep Hunter Biden and and the rest of America's political princelings in crack and hoes. The Hunter Biden lap top exposes how gross and tawdry these people are. And there are a lot more well connect children of the powerful elite like Hunter who were and are in on the grift, including the children of John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi and places like China and Ukraine are their play grounds.

Evidence suggests Hunter Biden acted as an unregistered foreign agent.

Not just Hunter it’s a family plan per evidence.
