Family Matters: Biggest developments in the Biden finances story this year
Just the News ^ | 10/22/23 | Steven Richards

Posted on 10/23/2023 3:32:47 PM PDT by CFW

Since 2014, when American news media began inquiring into Hunter Biden’s role with a Ukrainian gas company, the first son’s international business ventures and Joe Biden’s knowledge of them have come under scrutiny. His business dealings also played a part in former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment and were a significant a focus during the 2020 presidential election.

1. Hunter Biden did do something wrong

As recently as May of this year, President Joe Biden defended his son, claiming that he did nothing wrong. “First of all, my son's done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him. And it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him,” Biden told MSNBC.

2. Viktor Shokin was a threat to Burisma

Since Hunter Biden’s work for the board of Burisma, and his father Vice President Joe Biden’s role in pressuring Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating the company for corruption, came to light, the story told by Biden and his aides—and parroted by the media—was that the prosecutor Viktor Shokin was not a threat to Burisma or that he was fired because he was not properly investigating the company.

3. Joe Biden changed “official” US policy

4. Joe Biden met with Hunter Biden’s business partners

5. Hunter Biden did make millions from China

6. Joe Biden did get financial benefits from his family's ventures

This article doesn't include the information that Joe Biden purchased his six-bedroom Rehoboth Beach house in June 2017 for $2,744,001 cash just a few weeks after Hunter threatened the Chinese officials. However, it does set out the main items of proof that Joe Biden and his family are corrupt as hell. And with the government agencies covering up for that corruption there is no telling what remains to be uncovered and that we will never know.

How does that greasy piece of sh*t get rich as a congressman from Delaware?

We need to put a cap on Congressional income. No outside money going to any serving congressmen, or for a significant period after they "serve."

The $2.75 million dollar Rehoboth, Delaware beach house he bought for CASH is Joe Biden’s favorite place, apparently to conduct business w/ Hunter. Biden’s summer home in Delaware is where he escapes from the WH, where he has decamped dozens of times during his 1,000 days as the (cough) “president.”

DailyMail.com reported Biden spent at least 300 days of his presidency (a) either in Delaware where he owns other homes, or (b) on multiple “vacations” elsewhere.

BACKSTORY Biden bought the home at a time when it appeared his political career was over – five months after his Vice-Presidency had ended. He was well into his 70s, and had decided to forgo a 2016 run for the top job.

Now it appears that the beach house could turn out to be a major embarrassment as Republicans continue their push to solidify influence-peddling business links between Biden and his son Hunter.

The peripatetic Hunter was then staying in the guest house of Biden’s main house, a mansion in Delaware, when he wrote to Communist Party official Raymond Zhao on July 30, 2017, threatening him to follow his ‘orders’........ or else. “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” Hunter wrote Zhao on WhatsApp on July 30, 2017.

Hunter then appears to threaten Zhao – who he calls Z. ‘Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand,’ he writes at 9.45 am. ‘And now means tonight,’ he adds, apparently referring to time in Beijing, which is 12 hours ahead.

‘And Z if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.

Hunter concludes by emphasizing: ‘Ok my friend – I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father. I sure hope whatever it is you are doing is very, very, very important.’

There is no proof that Joe Biden actually was sitting with his son, but metadata from photos obtained by DailyMail.com from Hunter’s infamous abandoned laptop show he was at his father’s main house, his Wilmington mansion, the day the text was sent.


James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee and one of the key figures leading calls for Biden’s impeachment, said the $2.75 million all-cash house purchase is suspicious. ‘The fact that Joe Biden purchased a luxurious beach house around the same time his family was receiving millions from a CCP-linked company raises many questions that need to be answered,’ Comer told DailyMail.com.

‘The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow the money trail to determine the extent of President Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence-peddling schemes and its impact on our national security,’ Comer added.

THAT is your evidence that Trump’s losses in election lawsuits is due to judicial corruption, and not the Orly Taitzesqe performance of his lawyers?

Bless your heart.

The Influence-peddling Schemes Show It Was A Biden Family Affair
The Federalist ^ | 10/4/23 | ELLE PURNELL
Posted on 10/4/2023, 7:15:23 PM by CFW

As the Biden family’s corruption scandals tumble out into the open, corporate media badly want you to think the only story here is about Hunter Biden, a struggling drug addict who may have made some unwise decisions while grieving the loss of his brother. The more evidence — from whistleblower testimony to documentation — of President Joe Biden’s involvement arises, the more frantically they shout “no evidence!” and insist the elder Biden was only involved to the extent that he loves his son and talks with his wealthy foreign friends about the weather.

But — there’s another central figure in the operation. The participation of James Biden, Hunter’s uncle and Joe’s brother, shows just how much of a family affair the scandal is, with Joe Biden, the family’s “only asset,” at the top. So what exactly do we know about James Biden’s involvement?

James, his wife Sara, and Hunter went on a $101,291 spending spree with credit cards opened by Hunter and Kevin Dong, who “served as ‘Chairman Ye[’s] CEFC emissary’ in the United States.” The three Bidens purchased “extravagant items, including airline tickets and multiple items at Apple Inc. stores, pharmacies, hotels and restaurants.”

Despite telling the IRS “that he recalled not being involved with anything beyond 2017,” James Biden sent a message to Hunter in February 2018 that he was “in a near panic” because “we got nothing in Feb! … Did K [likely Kevin Dong] cut us off in Feb? I thought you had said that $ were wired into your account , 82.5 was on its way. We can’t find any record that was sent. Did I miss something?” (Excerpt) Read more at thefederalist.com ...

There is that strawman of yours talking again. I never said it was proof of judicial corruption, I said it was proof that there is much corruption in our government.

The problem with the judiciary in the swing states is that they suffer from arrogance, herd mentality, an already established hatred for Trump, and a fear of being an outcast in their social circles. They don't care what the law is, or care what justice is, so they save themselves a lot of work and get pleasure doing it.

But yeah, the government is filled with corrupt people, and sometimes those corrupt people, like Biden and his son, engage in conspiracy.

"Conspiracy" has become a tool used to discredit anyone who questions corrupt sh*t in this country.

It's an attempt to malign someone without actually addressing any of their legitimate points.

Biden is corrupt. The FBI is corrupt. We've had ample proof of that in the last three years.

I watched an eye opening video last week detailing the financial activities of the Biden family and how his foreign policy always has the result of enriching himself and his family. Here it is. The guy even explains the real reason Russian invaded Ukraine, and it is all about Burisma (remember Hunter Biden) trying to cut the financial throat of Gasprom. (Russians main energy company.)

Foreign Policy For Personal Profit: The incredible swirl of scandals right now where US foreign policy on 3 diff countries -- Ukraine, China & Mexico -- all seem to be maximizing the personal profit of the First Family & its outside backers.

This guy, (Mike Benz) talks about a lot of stuff I didn't know about, and it explains why Biden's foreign policy operates as it does.

He's corrupt. He's extremely corrupt. He's selling us out for personal profit.

I never said it was proof of judicial corruption,

No, you just posted that as proof, when called out on your claims that Trump lost election cases due to judicial corruption.

/sarcasm

But I have made my point, and every rational Freeper understands it. Feel free to post another nonresponsive response. You always have to have the last word.

I am often astonished at how people can hear what they want to hear.

Well thanks! Don't mind if I do!
