Chris Tigani, a Delaware businessman who served two years in prison for illegal campaign donations to Joe Biden, is speaking out to ensure Hunter Biden is held to the same legal standard that landed himself and other Americans who committed similar offenses behind bars.
"They were protecting the Bidens then, they’re protecting the Bidens now, and I think the evidence is overwhelming," Tigani said on "The Story" Tuesday.
In 2007, Tigani, a prominent Delaware liquor distributor, said he was approached by Hunter Biden and his late brother Beau, who requested $75,000 to cover the cost of billboards in Iowa for Joe Biden's unsuccessful presidential bid When Tigani agreed to raise the necessary funds, Dennis Toner, Biden's campaign finance director at the time, allegedly encouraged him to bundle the money using donations from his employees that he would later reimburse from his company to circumvent the technical limits on how much an individual can donate to one candidate.

I searched and scrolled, surprised i didn't see this posted. Apparently Beau was a bit of a chip off the old block.( Who could doubt that , the way he ripped Larry Sinclair off the National Press Club stage on a bogus charge?)

No one should ever go to jail for political donations. There are just too many doors. Unions for one...

House Reveals New Evidence in Biden Family’s Influence Peddling Schemes
Web of LLCs, efforts to hide sources of money, direct China cash, influence peddling in Romania
WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today released a bank records memorandum detailing new information obtained in the committee’s investigation into the Biden family’s influence peddling and business schemes.
The Oversight Committee has obtained thousands of pages of financial records revealing the Biden family and associates’ complicated network of companies set up during Joe Biden’s vice presidency and the millions the Bidens received from foreign sources.
The financial records also reveal how the Bidens used complicated transactions to hide payments from foreign nationals, including CCP-linked associates, and provide clear indications of influence peddling schemes during then-Vice President Biden’s tenure.
“The Bidens intentionally sought to hide, confuse, and conceal their influence peddling schemes, but bank records don’t lie. The Bidens made millions from foreign nationals providing what seems to be no services other than access and influence. From the thousands of records we’ve obtained so far, we know the Biden family set up over a dozen companies when Joe Biden was vice president. “
“The Bidens engaged in many intentionally complicated financial transactions to hide these payments and avoid scrutiny. In at least one instance, the Bidens’ CCP-linked associates took steps to conceal the source of the payment to the Bidens.”
“The Bidens’ foreign entanglements are breathtaking and raise serious questions about why foreign actors targeted the Biden family, what they expected in return, and whether our national security is threatened. We will continue to pursue additional bank records to follow the money trail and inform legislative solutions to prevent this type of corruption. Americans deserve answers, transparency, and accountability,” said Chairman Comer.
The Complicated Web of Biden Family and Associates’ Companies:
Biden family members and business associates created a web of over 20 companies—most were limited liability companies formed after Joe Biden became Vice President.
The Biden Family Received Millions of Dollars from Foreign Sources: Bank records show the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ and their related companies.
The Committee has identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies while he served as Vice President and after he left public office.
The Biden Family Used Business Associates’ Companies to Receive Foreign Funds: Despite creating many companies after Vice President Biden took office, the Biden family used business associates’ companies to receive millions of dollars from foreign companies.
Attempts to Conceal Large Financial Transactions: After foreign companies sent money to business associates’ companies, the Biden family received incremental payments over time to different bank accounts. These complicated financial transactions appear to be meant to conceal the source of the funds and reduce the conspicuousness of the total amounts made into the Biden bank accounts.
Chinese Nationals Hid the Source of the Money:Chinese nationals and companies with significant ties to Chinese intelligence and the Chinese Communist Party hid the source of the funds paid out to the Bidens by layering domestic limited liability companies.
The Biden family and associates’ activities in coordination with Chinese nationals and their corporate entities appear to be an attempt to engage in financial deception. Multiple Biden family members received money from the Chinese after it passed through an associate’s account. Additionally, Hunter Biden received money directly into his company’s account from a Chinese-controlled entity.
Biden Family and Associates’ Activities in Romania Indicate Influence Peddling Scheme: The Biden family and associates’ activities in Romania bear clear indicia of a scheme to peddle influence from 2015 to 2017. While Vice President Biden lectured Romania on corruption and ethics, the Bidens received over a million dollars from a company controlled by a Romanian individual accused of corruption, Gabriel Popoviciu, through a Biden family associate.

Used and thrown away by the Bidens, sure.
Hard to feel sorry, though, for someone who runs a business and claims not to know that laundering campaign contributions through your employees is against the law.

Joe and Hunter Biden are untouchable. They are protected by the democrats and the lame stream new media. Joe Biden is losing his mind and Hunter will be suicided just like Jeffrey Epstein.

Beau and Joe were helping Barry to hide the facts behind the cocaine-fueled Wild Limo Ride with Larry Sinclair in Gurnee (IL) in 1999. A few weeks later, Barry thanked the Bidens for the effort by scooping Joe out of the bottom of the 2008 Presidential primaries dust bin, dusted Joe off, and Barry made Joe his VP running mate. In the meantime, Chicago PD has a permanently cryo-frozen cold case of the murder of Donald Young, Rev Wright’s choir director and alleged paramore of Soetoro. Also frozen is Larry’s phone records with the Soetoro campaign to discuss the concept that ‘the coke abuse is okay but ix-nay on the ay-gay’.

Tucker Carlson sad down with Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer following Mr. Archer’s testimony to a House Oversight Committee. {Direct Rumble Link}. The first part of that interview was broadcast by Tucker Carlson via Twitter.
Within this part of the interview Tucker Carlson asks Devon Archer about the overall business model Archer and Biden formed in Burisma and what was the specific set of skills that Hunter brought to the enterprise. As noted by Mr. Archer, the relationship and purpose of Hunter Biden was entirely about access to government systems that could benefit the businesses who hired their firm. They were selling influence as a business model and Joe Biden was part of the process. WATCH:
There are many people rightly demanding Joe Biden be impeached for selling his office and influence, as exhibited in the examples of Hunter Biden. However, I would temper any expectations in that direction by noting this “influence selling” is the currency of the entire system. Democrats and Republicans both have family members and businesses based on this system.
Additionally, as we have written in these pages for many years, the entire purpose of the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committee is to sell political policy influence to foreign governments. Seats on committees are assigned to politicians based on their status within the hierarchy. The example of Hunter Biden and Devon Archer via Burisma is one of hundreds of similarly constructed mechanisms.
Joe Biden will never be impeached for selling his office to foreign governments. It will never happen. Senator Joe Biden was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee for exactly this reason.

I agree, I’ve always thought the Delaware charges closed the deal for VP, I don’t remember whether HRC or John Kerry might have been other prospects.

There are loud demands that Joe Biden be impeached for selling his office and peddling his influence, all done in tandem w/ Hunter Biden. The entire purpose of the House and Senate Foreign Relations Committee is to sell US political policy, to pay elected members to do favors for foreign governments. “Influence peddling” is the currency of the entire system. Everyone up there thrives on this system.==================================================
All of that is undoubtedly true.......but all of it is illegal.......and we must reject it.
Nowhere in our laws or our Constitution is this activity sanctioned.
Granted, it was being done sub rosa.
But Joe and Hunter Biden are so horrendously greedy and hold Americans in such utter contempt, we now have solid proof of these illegalities. The paper trail is long and detailed.
That is why Biden must be impeached.
