A firm employing James Biden, the younger brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, received more than $1.5 billion in government-backed contracts during the Obama administration.
The dovetailing of James Biden’s professional life with his brother’s political influence are extensively detailed in Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer’s new book—Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite. Schweizer is also the president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI).
In 2010, shortly after a disastrous attempt at running a hedge fund with his nephew Hunter, James Biden entered the construction and international development industry. Even though he lacked background in either, James secured a position as executive vice president at the newly formed HillStone International, LLC. The firm, which was a subsidiary of the long struggling Hill International, was unique for a multitude of reasons.
“The president of HillStone International was Kevin Justice, who grew up in Delaware and was a longtime Biden family friend,” Schweizer writes in his book. “He was friends with lots of Bidens, especially Joe’s sons Hunter and Beau.”
Under Justice’s leadership, the company was setting out to pursue technology and construction projects in the Middle East. Of particular interest to the company was the millions being given to government contractors for the rebuilding of war-torn Iraq—an endeavor Joe Biden was tasked to oversee by President Barack Obama.
It was likely with such projects in mind that Justice headed to the White House in November 2010. During the visit, the HillStone executive met with Michele Smith, a top aide to then-Vice President Joe Biden. Smith, a fellow Delaware native, was serving as the vice president’s liaison to “global government officials and business executives.”

“James Biden’s Firm Got $1.5 Billion in Government Contracts Despite Zero Experience”
Ahhh...well, you have to get the experience somewhere, right?
One hand washes the other.
Another Bro? Not Frank?
Pays to be a member of the criminal enterprise known as the Derp State. The Bidens are dirtier than a crack whore’s cooch.
I’m guessing half of DC is in on this type of corruption.
Half ? Trump got 4%(!) of the vote in DC. It’s rotten from top to bottom.
I think you’re right... (and that I’m wrong) Here’s another one:

Breaking Bombshell: Elizabeth Warren’s Son-in-Law Produced Film Funded by Iranian Government

Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) son-in-law, with whom she is close, has troubling ties to the Iranian regime, according to a new book by Peter Schweizer.
Biden’s are starting to make the Clintons look like pikers.
This is why they’ve got to get rid of Trump. These Derp State “insiders” are selling our nation out and getting filthy rich in the process. They’re all puppets of foreign powers. Trump dared to merely ASK a foreign leader to look into the corruption of Dirty Joe’s family. It’s to send a message to the rest of us: “Eff with us and we’ll destroy you.” I said it goes beyond corruption to Satanic evil. These people have not old betrayed us with their sedition, but they’ve openly sold their souls for power and money. This evil must be dealt with and defeated.
But, in a just world, Teddy Kennedy would have never continued as a Senator, and if he wanted to make amends in the world he would have had to do it as a private citizen.
Not surprising. Warren is a typical example of how you can be talentless, ignorant, and without creativity and become faculty at Harvard - the community college of Boston.
I want JUSTICE to come to the DEMOCRATS!
