White House, Hunter Biden’s team keep shifting goalposts in denying Joe’s involvement with businesses
Foxnews ^ | 09/19/2023 | Jessica Chasmar , Cameron Cawthorne

Posted on 09/19/2023 11:02:34 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Hunter Biden’s lawyer declared last Thursday that the first son "did not share" his business or his profits with his father, marking another notable shift in the narrative responding to allegations linking President Biden to his son’s shady business dealings.

Abbe Lowell, who has been aggressively defending Hunter, said he can "categorically" declare that Biden was not involved in Hunter's previous business dealings and did not profit from any of them.

"I can tell you that Hunter did not share his business with his dad," Lowell told CNN on Thursday. "I can tell you that he did not share money from his businesses with his dad. And as the evidence out there, his dad, like all good parents, tried to help Hunter when Hunter needed that help."

Imagine what the media would be saying if it was Trump and Trump Jr.

The corrupt biden crime family will win this one, as usual, while Americans are in solitary without a trial for being Republican.

"I can tell you that he did not share money from his businesses with his dad.

Of course not, it came from Hunter's personal checking account, that miraculously has millions in it.

“I can tell you that he did not share money from his businesses with his dad.”

That’s not what Hunter said in his emails when he was whining about having to pay his dad’s bills for many years.

The payoffs were split between Hunters business and Joe’s business.

It’s clear to anyone who can still think straight that Joe Biden is up to his eyeballs in a whirlwind of his own corruption.

OK, would you believe: “I looked at his business deals, but didn’t inhale them — not a joke; I didn’t understand at all.”

Abbe Lowell, Hunter’s defense lawyer, said, “I can tell you
that Hunter did not share money from his businesses with his dad.”

But that’s not what Hunter said when he whined about
having to pay his dad’s expenses........plus 10% for the Big Guy.

At one point Hunter said his dad took over his bank account.

Lowell propagandized saying the evidence out there shows, his dad,
like all good parents, tried to help Hunter when Hunter “needed help.”

Republicans need to talk to Hunter's business partner, Eric Schwerin, since emails from Hunter’s laptop show Schwerin moving money on behalf of Joe and Hunter while helping the latter handle family expenses. Schwerin received Joe Biden’s “Delaware tax refund check” while he was vice president and he and Hunter talked by phone about Joe Biden’s mortgage.

In February 2014, Hunter advised Schwerin, his business partner to describe himself as a “close confidant and counsel” to his VP dad.

The NY Post reported that the trusted partner, Eric Schwerin, was involved in the transfer of Joe Biden’s Senate papers and Obama/Biden transition papers to the U of Delaware in March 2010 — which may have included “sensitive” and “classified” documents.

By December 2017, Hunter had fallen out with Schwerin and attempted to cut ties with him.

HUNTER UNLEASHED “I terminated you as my at-will employee for gross negligence. Also if you continue to sit with friends of mine and relationships that are mine and defame me I will sue you for defamation of character and embezzlement and for the debt with you still have not contributed your supposed 25% share of,” Hunter wrote on Dec. 12, 2017. “ … We are no longer just done as business partners you should consider moving to somewhere in Florida I’ll never go. Naples is perfect you can live in perpetual time share with your parents and talk about what a horrible person I am.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Greenfield-—At first glance, Hunter Biden’s influence peddling deals appear to be internationally opportunistic, as he flew on dad's plane, AF Two, mooching off taxpayers, hopscotching from one part of the world to the other, exploiting whatever openings emerged.

Republicans need to scrutinize whether Hunter and his business partners were piggybacking on the foreign and domestic policies of the Obama administration, converging on green energy investments at home, and Chinese and Ukrainian oligarchs looking to do business in America.

Biden moneyman, Eric Schwerin, had a friendly relationship with the scandal-plagued influence-peddler Hunter for years and served as the managing director of their investment firm Rosemont Seneca Advisors, though they may have met when both worked in the Commerce Dept of the Clinton admin.

Schwerin was also part of Hunter’s lobbying shop, Oldaker, Biden & Belair, from 2002-2008, disclosure forms show.

Prior to Obama’s presidential campaign, the-then Illinois US senator sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for Hunter’s clients, the Wash/Post reported in Aug 2008, weeks after Obama tapped Joe Biden as his running mate.

“Strongarming” to get their way seems to be the Bidens MO.
Shades of “The Godfather.”

The mafioso-type hierarchical structure consisted
of Obama appointing VP Biden point man on Ukraine.

Joe bragged on video he “strongarmed” a Ukranian.....
using threats of canceling Congress-mandated foreign aid
......... billions of our tax dollars.......
to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Burisma corruption....
corruption in which his own son was immersed and would be outed.

Hunter himself “strongarmed” a Chinese client saying his VP
father would “punish him” if the Chinese guy didn’t pay the Bidens.

No wonder the astute judge who kiboshed Hunter’s shady plea deal said the whole sordid affair reminded her of a Mafia movie.

The Bidens are little more than racketeers.

Racketeering is a facet of organized crime in which the racketeers set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionate, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme (a “racket”) to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit.

Racketeers coerce or threaten people, often with the threat (implicit or otherwise), that failure to comply will engender “punishment.”

Obama-era emails reveal Hunter’s extensive ties
to nearly a dozen senior-level Biden admin aides;
Hunter was deeply connected to Biden’s inner circle
By Jessica Chasmar, Cameron Cawthorne | Fox News

snip

BACKSTORY —— Nearly a dozen current and former officials serving in the White House and Biden administration, including the president’s national security adviser and the secretary of state, have extensive ties to Hunter Biden, who is accused by Republicans of selling access to his father, dating back over a decade.

A Fox News Digital analysis reveals the extent of Hunter’s potential reach in the White House, while the corrupt Hunter skates away charged w/ only two alleged misdemeanor tax violations and a felony gun charge.

The analysis includes:
<><>two members of Biden’s Cabinet
<><>one former Cabinet member,
<><>a top aide to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin,
<><>a national security adviser,
<><>five top Obama/Biden White House aides,
<><>and a top Biden campaign aide on leave as communications director for Jill Biden.

Via her aide, Jill could have been privy to all the dirty doings but she has escaped scrutiny, so far.

Hunter Biden and President Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, served together on the board of the Truman National Security Project, a liberal foreign policy think tank, for roughly two years before Sullivan joined the president’s campaign in 2020.

Hunter, who started serving on the board in 2012, and Sullivan both served on the Washington-based nonprofit’s board between 2017 and early 2019, according to internet archives captured by the Wayback Machine.

During that time, Hunter was also serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings and the Chinese private equity fund BHR Partners.

The federal investigation into Hunter’s foreign business dealings, which is still ongoing, also launched during the same time frame in 2018.

Sullivan was recently accused by former White House official Mike McCormick of being a “conspirator” in the Biden family’s “kickback scheme” in Ukraine when VP Biden was point man for Obama.

They tried that. Now some are calling him ‘Teflon Don’.

TDR is real, and they’ll deny the biden family crimes until somebody is wearing an orange jumpsuit.

One of the many Biden strategies to sidetrack corruption charges is to (a) deny, then (b) hedge, then (c) ignore, then (d) grow silent—and then (e) repeat the wash/rinse/spin cycle...... stonewalling as many times as necessary to evade the mounting truth.

Biden’s most effective strategy is “The Delaware Way:” everytime we catch him and Hunter with their pants down, Biden heads toward his media flunkies and proceeds to jovially laugh it off.
