Wall Street Journal Columnist Shreds Claim That Joe Biden is Free and Clear of China Corruption Scheme Allegations

 Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski has flipped. He said he needed to come forward and set the record straight. Joe Biden has become a source of inquiry for some outlets regarding corruption allegations again. His son, Hunter, had his trove of emails exposed by The New York Post, showing that the former VP did indeed know a lot about the business dealings of his son. One, in particular, that’s drawing attention is this China deal, where some person noted as the “big guy” was slated to get a 10 percent equity stake in this arrangement. The Chinese firm no longer exists, the deal fell through, but it started when Joe was vice president. Mr. Bobulinski says “big guy” is Joe Biden. The firm had ties to a rival government. So, Joe is a liar who knew what was going on, he was reportedly referred to as the “chairman,” Hunter often called him to get approval to sign off on deals, and he used the office of the vice presidency to enrich his family. That’s the Biden Doctrine. Get paid and worry about the rest later. He’s shown to even go rogue on foreign policy to protect Hunter and his family’s interests.

Remember, Hunter was on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2014 when Joe was helming our policy initiatives there. Burisma paid Hunter $50k/month and reportedly got returns in the forms of access to top Obama officials. Oh, and legal protection; Joe was able to get the prosecutor looking into Burisma fired. How? He threatened to withhold aid. Now, The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel threaded all the dates, emails, and communications together regarding the China deal and it’s not pretty for Joe. Some noted that Joe is clear of the China stuff because his name isn’t on the documents. Strassel had a thread noting how that’s not true. Joe isn’t out of the woods, and she added the key questions that should be asked of the former VP regarding this China arrangement 

1) On this question of Joe Biden being somehow exonerated on the China deal, how so? WSJ news story correctly notes that his name isn't on documents. But those docs also suggest special care had been taken to make sure his name WASN'T visible.— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) October 23, 2020

2) The doc w/proposed equity stakes said Hunter was going to hold 10% for the "big guy." Tony Bobulinski, Hunter's partner, says the big guy is Joe--and Bobulinski presumably told that to the FBI today. Got to wonder why he'd risk a false statement charge if that wasn't true.— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) October 23, 2020

3)Note that Hunter's two other partners (Gilliar and Walker)did not respond to WSJ news question about who was "the big guy." A 2017 text from Gilliar warns Bobulinski: "don't mention Joe being involved."— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) October 23, 2020

4) Bobulinski also presumably telling FBI he met with Joe, and that Joe was at some level aware of the deal. Note also that Biden camp did not provide answer to the WSJ news question about that meeting.— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) October 23, 2020

5) So here are the right questions for Joe:
a) are you "big guy"? b) While Chinese $$ never materialized, were u at one point--via a Hunter--in line to have an equity share? c) Did u meet with Hunter's partner? d)how does any this comport w/ your claims to not talk biz w/Hunter?— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) October 23, 2020

“On this question of Joe Biden being somehow exonerated on the China deal, how so? WSJ news story correctly notes that his name isn't on documents. But those docs also suggest special care had been taken to make sure his name wasn’t visible,” she wrote. True. Bobulinski was told to only refer to Joe in face-to-face meetings. Mr. Bobulinski was interviewed by the FBI, as he turned over all devices and business records where he and the Bidens were involved. 

“The doc w/proposed equity stakes said Hunter was going to hold 10% for the ‘big guy.’ Tony Bobulinski, Hunter's partner, says the big guy is Joe--and Bobulinski presumably told that to the FBI today. Got to wonder why he'd risk a false statement charge if that wasn't true.”

Good point. 

She then zeroed in on the questions the press should ask of Joe.

“Are you "big guy"? b) While Chinese money never materialized, were you at one point--via a Hunter--in line to have an equity share? c) Did you meet with Hunter's partner? d)how does any this comport w/ your claims to not talk business w/Hunter?”

Valid points, but with the press refusing to cover this story, labeling it a distraction—and social media censoring people sharing stories about Hunter’s emails—I doubt it. This is the October surprise, and the media isn’t going to cover it. Not shocking, but I don’t want to hear complaints from these clowns when we hit them for being utter trash at their jobs.

I canceled my subscription to the WSJ

Hunter Biden’s lawyer stated Sunday (to explain Hunter's actions) that Hunter
was an unpaid member of BHR’s board since 2013 (cue laugh machine here).

It wasn’t until October 2017 that Hunter invested $420,000 to obtain a 10% equity stake in the firm.

Hunter's 10% investment today is reportedly worth some $50 million.....that'll buy Hunter an awful lot of crack.

Yet Hunter Biden's lucrative investment in BHR Partners is shrouded in secrecy.

One has to peruse Chinese business records to find that a company called Skaneateles LLC,
which Hunter controls w/ Schwerin, became a BHR shareholder Oct 23, 2017.

Only Joe had connections with China Hunter had nothing he’s just a pawn for his old man .

[Liz]

Hunter traveled on AF2 in Dec 2013 when VP Biden made an official visit to China on behalf of the US govt.
Few people were unaware Hunter was closing in on a billion dollar business deal w/ the Communist Chinese govt.

Hunter, his daughter, and his father, did all the touristy things in China, even went to a Chinese teahouse.....on the taxpayers' dime.

THE BIDENS' TAX-PAID VISIT TO A CHINESE TEAHOUSE IS MEMORIALIZED IN OBAMA'S WH ARCHIVES

The opportunistic Hunter arranged for VP Joe Biden, to be photographed shaking hands with the CEO of BHR, Hunter's business partner.
The lying Hunter Biden described this as a "social meeting." But in the dark world of global finance,
even a druggie like Hunter knows, a picture of yourself, shaking hands w/ the US vice president, is worth gazillions.

When he time come for the Biden’s to be buried, and I wish them a long and happy life, instead of a regular burial they will have to hire some one with a power posthole drill to drill a vertical grave, as if they are buried in a regular fashion they are so crooked that they never would lay flat.

WSJ may be anti Trump, but they’re showing a lot more integrity than the rest of the media by printing these articles....WSJ and NY Post both have large readership....truth is seeping out, and people are really starting to hate Big Tech

[Reno89519]

Didn’t the deal not go through because the Biden family cut their own deal directly? I don’t heard this in the comments from the guy. If so, where is there a discussion about the actual deal that netted the Biden family money.

[Vaduz]

He learned the prop gig from Joe remember he had 47 years of training in D.C. .

[EVO X]

Didn’t the deal not go through because the Biden family cut their own deal directly?

Yes. Tony B got ticked off after he read the Senate report. And when the emails surfaced with his name, he went in for the kill shot.

[Mercat]

I have one. Its the least obnoxious of the big three. I read some of it pretty much every day but I’ll probably cancel it after the election. Too pricey.

[Mercat]

Twitter changed its policies. The story is all over twitter.

[Loud Mime]

The electronic version of the WSJ is worth it. Haggle over the price with them.

[Loud Mime]

WSJ editorial page is NOT anti-Trump.

[clearcarbon]

[TChad]

The WSJ editorial page leans conservative, the rest of the paper is liberal. That has been going on for decades.

[The Fop]

Yes, I know....but Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit writes a column for USA Today....they would not print his editorial about the Hunter Biden laptop....glad to see the WSJ did not pull the same crap

[nicollo]

When I opened the oped pages, I was stunned to see how much ink space they gave to this column — you never see that much. And the Editors wailed on Biden’s energy lies in a rather long editorial as well.

Sadly, Jenkins just moaned about the press lying about Russia and not reporting on the laptop. Why not go after the laptop itself, Jenkins? It’s like those stupid “Republicans pounce” stories, only with this one, “The Press ignores” story, when the story should be about the story.

[Verginius Rufus]

The regular columnists for the WSJ are a mix--some friendly to Trump and others relentlessly hostile. The worst of the latter was Bret Stephens but he left to work for another paper.
