FR POSTED: Only a certifiable moron today would deposit any of the Bidens’ $20 million influence peddling haul documented by the House committees in an actual account of Joe or Jill Biden. Those accounts are subject to continual monitoring and potential subpoenas.

Instead, the Congress has found dozens of shell companies and accounts used by the Bidens to help conceal the transfer of millions to Biden family members....... including grandchildren.

This includes references Joe Biden’s bills being paid out of joint accounts...... and includes cash benefits from influence peddling deals.

These foreign sources also sent money direct to “the Biden Family Fund,” a financial legacy that Joe Biden will leave consisting of millions in foreign bribes, payoffs and money laundering.

At 80 y/o, with millions in hidden wealth, Joe Biden is likely more motivated by moving wealth to his descendants than himself.

About the only thing more odious and repulsive than Biden’s loveable grandpa family man schtick is how the media twists itself into knots to promote it.

Biden Family Used Web of Shell Companies to Conceal
Foreign Cash, Bank Records Obtained by House reveal

The Biden family and its business associates created a complicated web of more than 20 companies, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee — a system, GOP lawmakers say, that was meant to conceal money received from foreign nationals.

Sixteen of the companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president, the committee said in a press conference on Wednesday. The Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received more than $10 million from foreign nationals’ and their related companies, the records show. These payments occurred both while Biden was in office as vice president and after his time in office ended.

”...... many payments were routed from foreign companies to the Biden family’s business associates’ companies which then doled out payments to the Bidens in incremental payments to different bank accounts in an alleged attempt to hide the source of the funds.

At least nine Biden family members received payments, according to committee chairman James Comer. That includes Hunter Biden; James Biden; James Biden’s wife, Sara Jones Biden; the late Beau Biden’s wife, Hallie Biden; Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle; Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen; and “three children of the president’s son and the president’s brother.”

Much of the money came from Chinese nationals and companies with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Multiple Biden family members received money after it passed through an associate’s account. Comer said of the countries the Biden family was influence peddling in, China is “the most reputable.”

The committee revealed Wednesday that records suggest the Biden family and its associates’ business dealings in Romania “bear clear indication of a scheme to peddle influence” from 2015 to 2017.

At the time, then-Vice President Biden spoke out against Romanian corruption while the Biden family received more than a million dollars from a company controlled by a Romanian national, Gabriel Popoviciu.

Popoviciu, who has been accused of corruption, sent the money through a Biden family associate, according to the committee.

Sixteen of the seventeen payments involved in the deal occurred while Biden was still in office. The money “stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency,” Comer said.

The Bidens also received “millions of dollars from China,” with Comer saying it is “inconceivable that the president did not know” about the payments.

Comer said the information revealed Wednesday is the result of subpoenas to four different banks and stressed that the committee is still early in its investigation and believes there are as many as 12 banks with records relevant to its investigation.

In March, the committee previously revealed that Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden and an unknown fourth Biden received a total of $1.3 million in payments from accounts related to Biden family business associate Rob Walker in 2017, shortly after Walker received a $3 million wire from a Chinese energy company.

The subpoenaed bank records show that State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Robinson Walker, LLC on March 1, 2017 — less than two months after then-vice president Joe Biden left office. The following day, Robinson Walker, LLC wired $1,065,000 to European Energy and Infrastructure Group in Abu Dhabi, a company associated with James Gilliar, another business partner to Hunter Biden.

The Biden family members and their companies then began “receiving incremental payments over a period of approximately three months,” the committee’s memo from March states. “The recipients of the money included Hallie Biden, companies associated with Hunter Biden and James Biden, and an unknown bank account identified as ‘Biden.’”

The unknown “Biden” account received $70,000 from Robinson Walker, LLC between March and May of 2017, according to subpoenaed bank records obtained by the committee.

Robinson Walker LLC sent Hallie Biden $25,000 on March 20, 2017, according to the memo. One month earlier, she received a $10,000 transfer from Robinson Walker LLC shortly before it received the $3 million payment.

Meanwhile, an account belonging to Hunter Biden received $500,000 during that time frame, while an account belonging to James Biden received $360,000.

The memo also revealed that Walker’s account sent money to Biden family members in 2015 while Joe Biden was still in office.

“On November 5, 2015, Robinson Walker, LLC received a wire from a company (the Committee continues to investigate the identity of the account holder for this company) that had an overseas bank account in the amount of $179,836.86,” the memo adds. That amount appears to have been split between Walker, Gilliar and the Biden family. Hunter Biden’s account received $59,000 on November 2015.

The Biden family’s secrets

This explores a new book on the Bidens’ 50-year rise to power by POLITICO’s Ben Schreckinger, POLITICO STAFF, 10/01/2021

After seven Senate terms and three runs for president, Joe Biden has mastered his folksy image. But behind “the Delaware way” are secrets in Joe’s family tree and son Hunter’s foreign deals. National political correspondent Ben Schreckinger tells Playbook’s Ryan Lizza about what he uncovered while investigating his book, “The Bidens: Inside The First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power.”

Read an excerpt of Ben’s book in Politico Magazine here.

On the Biden family’s reputation:
“Joe Biden has a reputation as someone with his foot in his mouth who can be clumsy when he speaks, who gets himself in trouble. And I think that obscures how good he’s been and how good the family has been at telling their story … and projecting an image that emphasizes the tragedies that they’ve endured, the resilience — the fact that Joe Biden was left for dead not just politically after 1987, but very nearly died. … So there is a real comeback story and just a very touching story of someone who has endured a couple of very big tragedies in their life that has made Joe Biden relatable to a lot of people and have a very genuine connection with a lot of people. At the same time, that’s a story that has been told over and over again in the context of creating a political mythos, trying to win political power by winning votes.” — Ben Schreckinger

“This family really is extremely tight-knit. That’s not a show for the cameras. That’s one of the most universal things I hear from people in reporting is no, they really are that close. It explains why Donald Trump, who’s someone who’s pretty good at ferreting out the weaknesses of his political enemies, seized on Hunter because there is real baggage there. And some of it has to do with a troubled personal life, which is attractive for somebody like Trump to sort of throw that into the mix. But there are enough issues around potential conflicts of interest and the like with Hunter Biden’s dealings over the years. Enough that we don’t know, that there is more to learn and that it’s not just about Donald Trump picking on someone who has some personal problems.” — Ben Schreckinger

On ‘the Delaware Way’:
“The most important thing to understand about Joe Biden and Delaware and what it means for who he is, is this concept of ‘the Delaware way,’ which is something that Joe has explicitly invoked as a model for Washington. He has said that we need more of the Delaware way in Washington. … Washington is too acrimonious. The Delaware way is a much cozier way of conducting politics, much less adversarial. It’s about bringing people together or being bipartisan, reaching a consensus agreement. But there’s also a downside to the Delaware way. It has its critics who say this is essentially cronyism.” — Ben Schreckinger

On the intersection of Joe Biden’s private and public worlds:
“After the death of Neilia and Joe’s infant daughter, Amy, he is wracked with guilt over deciding to remain in the Senate. He’s occupied in Washington. He has these two young sons who are being raised largely by Val and Jimmy [Biden’s sister and brother]. So he creates a rule where they, at any time, can say ‘wild card.’ They don’t have to go to school. They don’t have to do whatever their other plans were supposed to be. They can go with their father to Washington or wherever he’s going. And so the first thing that he does is sort of tear down the walls between his day job and what his family is doing. And you see this play out later where there’s questions about Hunter tagging along on trips on Air Force Two around the world and meeting with business contacts as part of that.” — Ben Schreckinger

“Joe Biden said on the campaign trail ... that he’s never discussed his relatives’ business dealings with them or with anybody else, ever. … But there is an issue with that statement because Tony Bobulinski has come forward and said, ‘Well, that’s not true. I spoke with Joe Biden about Jimmy and Hunter’s plans, attempts to go into business with these Chinese businessmen from CEFC,’ this energy company, in 2017 in Los Angeles. He was clearly familiar, at least with the broad outlines of this. The White House hasn’t contested that statement.” — Ben Schreckinger

Joe Biden’s deep involvement in Hunter’s business schemes
with Chinese,Russians and Ukrainians revealed in
Devon Archer’s full damning testimony to Congress
New York Post ^ | August 3, 2023 | Steven Nelson
Posted on 8/3/2023, 11:05:13 AM by george76

Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer told lawmakers this week that Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings brought the VP’s son onto its board so that “people would be intimidated to mess with them …... legally.”

Archer said that Hunter had a well-rehearsed act while at dinner w/ foreign clients, wherein Hunter would ceremoniously announce he was “calling his VP dad in DC” to discuss “niceties and the weather”......not Hunter’s business.

Archer testified Hunter’s phone act was calculated....intended to show his foreign clients they had instant access to VP Biden to collect favors ....... once they paid him off.

The telephone act was also intended to give the Bidens deniability and let Joe Biden off the hook as a criminal accomplice to influence peddling, bribery and money laundering.

Associated Pravda contributed to article, of course. If Biden and Mrs, whom he slept with while she was was married to first husband, are ‘so close to their grandchildren,’ why did they ignore Hunter’s 4 year old daughter? More Biden BS - Lyin’ Biden.
