Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden gave an interview to the New Yorker this week and spoke very candidly about his drug and alcohol abuse and also about his foreign dealings while his daddy was the Vice President of the United States.
In a shocking admission, Hunter Biden, 49, told the New Yorker that he once accepted a diamond bribe from a shady Chinese business tycoon in exchange for his powerful contacts in the US.
The 2.8-carat diamond was reportedly worth $80,000 and was sent to Hunter in 2016 in exchange for help making contacts in the liquefied-natural-gas industry in the US.
Hunter was on the board of the World Food Program USA, a nonprofit that generates support for the U.N. World Food Programme, and he had hoped that Ye would make a large aid donation. At dinner that night, they discussed the donation, and then the conversation turned to business opportunities. Hunter offered to use his contacts to help identify investment opportunities for Ye’s company, CEFC China Energy, in liquefied-natural-gas projects in the United States. After the dinner, Ye sent a 2.8-carat diamond to Hunter’s hotel room with a card thanking him for their meeting. “I was, like, Oh, my God,” Hunter said. (In Kathleen’s court motion, the diamond is estimated to be worth eighty thousand dollars. Hunter said he believes the value is closer to ten thousand.)
When I asked him if he thought the diamond was intended as a bribe, he said no: “What would they be bribing me for? My dad wasn’t in office.” Hunter said that he gave the diamond to his associates, and doesn’t know what they did with it. “I knew it wasn’t a good idea to take it. I just felt like it was weird,” he said.

p
Democrats get a pass because they’re such do-gooders.
I just felt it was weird, so I kept it...
Everybody does it?
This is old news?
Can’t we all just move on?
Joe and Hunter are far too stupid and arrogant to be able to pull this kind of corruption off
“What would they be bribing me for? My dad wasn’t in office.” Hunter said that he gave the diamond to his associates, and doesn’t know what they did with it. “I knew it wasn’t a good idea to take it. I just felt like it was weird,” he said.

Article says this was 2016.
Joe was VP for the Kenyanesian Usurper until January 20, 2017.
Hunter knows what he did was wrong.
Looking forward to posting the “DOWN GOES FRAZIER!” image when slo Joe pulls the plug on his candidacy.
But...my dad is JOE BIDEN...!
Biden will lose to Kamalatoe so none of this will matter, unfortunately.
Why isn’t this total scumbag not in prison? The Biden crime family is to the Clinton as the Tattaglia is to the Corleone. DC is one big crime syndicate.
Even in Iceland or Sweden, to accept that would be pretty dishonest.
BUT IN CHINA...?
What? They did it cuz THEY’RE NICE..? It was INNOCENT..?
Not in a bazillion GD years..!
No way in hell it was not a bribe.
No way in hell did the Chinese NOT think they were buying the son of an important US politician:
That’s how the Chinese saw it.
They did a WORLD survey of “does the lost wallet with cash in it get turned back in” and you know WHAT country was at the very bottom of the list for the wallet coming back..?
No, not an African country, amazingly:
IT WAS CHINA.
TOO DUMB TO JAIL??
WHAT associates did he give it to?? Yeah, right!
Come on, if one of Trump's kids took an $80,000 bribe I'm sure the sh*ts at the Washington Post and New York Times would ignore it too..../s
Of course the leftist MSM is silent. Some pigs are more equal than others.
How long has corruption gone on unchecked in Washington... they expect it to continue.. Trump is in the way.
Changing my tagline for this story.
