Why isn't the Senate investigating Joe Biden's son Hunter over China, Ukraine dealings?

Is selling out U.S. national security OK so long as Democrats are doing it?

What a disturbing picture is emerging from the research of Peter Schweizer, who has a new one out about Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden's son Hunter and his business dealings with China.

In a New York Post op-ed, Schweizer writes:

In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Biden's firm inked a $1 billion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government's Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5 billion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president.

If it sounds shocking that a vice president would shape US-China policy as his son — who has scant experience in private equity — clinched a coveted billion-dollar deal with an arm of the Chinese government, that's because it is.

The details get worse and worse and worse, the further you read — the Chinese, for instance, kept news of the deal away from the English-language portion of its website. The agreements signed came just ahead of then–vice president Joe Biden's trips to China. The deals themselves were to buy into companies that were stealing U.S. secrets. The secrets they were after involved U.S. nuclear submarines. And Biden Junior didn't know jack about nuclear things, Chinese things, or venture capital; he was there just for being the vice president's son.

And both Joe and young Hunts insist nothing untoward was going on; the Chinese just chose to partner with Hunter based on his amazing business acumen, nothing more.

Why was Nixon forced to resign over what amounted to a college prank? While Clinton got elected to a second term? Why are the leftist fascists demanding Trump's tax returns while dim Congresscritters amass multimillion dollar estates on a salary of <$200,000/yr?

(It's a rhetorical question.)

If I wanted to enrich myself financially, illegally, with impunity, I would do it via politics as a dimocrat.

The McConnells are in the same boat by extended family entanglements.

Secretary of Transportation Elain Chao's father runs a shipping company in China that can be effectively taken away from him by the Chinese government if Mitch McConnell or Chao crosses them. The Chinese government would simply stop doing business with the company until they went broke.

Chao's sister was put on the board of directors for the Bank of China, again as leverage over them.

If McConnell or Chao takes a public stance against the interests of China, the Chao family stands to lose their livelihoods.
