Yahoo Confirms Hunter Biden Story: Weapon Sales to Africa, Chinese Intel, $1M Retainer
truthpress ^ | 4/11/2022

Posted on 04/12/2022 7:37:50 AM PDT by bitt

Hunter Biden knew he was working with associates who were high up in Chinese intelligence circles, according to a new report.

The report published Monday by Yahoo News delves into the connections between Hunter Biden and Patrick Ho, referred to as Patrick Ho Chi-ping in some reports concerning Ho’s 2018 bribery conviction that was linked to arms dealing and bribery in Africa.

Yahoo’s report is written by Michael Isikoff, its chief investigative correspondent, and Zach Dorfman, its national security correspondent. Both are veteran and respected journalists.

(Isikoff is probably best known as the reporter then working for Newseek who had the story in 1998 about independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s investigation of then-President Bill Clinton and his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, but lost the scoop to the Drudge Report because Newsweek sat on it.)

Ho, who was a former Hong Kong government minister, and Ye Jianming, an energy tycoon who had links in his past to China’s People’s Liberation Army, had formed a business partnership with Hunter Biden and James Biden, who is President Joe Biden’s brother.

In November 2017, Ho was arrested by FBI agents at New York’s JFK Airport as part of what Isikoff and Dorfman called “an audacious plot to dole out millions of dollars in bribes to African leaders in exchange for major energy contracts that appeared to advance Chinese government interests.”

Yahoo reported in 2018 that Ho’s first phone call after his arrest was to James Biden. He asked Biden to get him a lawyer.

Criminals letting criminals invade America. Biden Cartel. Not really. He’s just a puppet as we well know. This horror movie is lasting too long!

Can’t believe they didn’t know about the Bidens before they put him in. Guess they actually thought they and their media hos could overcome any ‘information’ by asserting it as disinformation.

One can only speculate - but they DID know about Biden's corruption. It doesn't matter. There is probably dirt on all of them. Biden was only a temporary solution for them to "solve" the problem of Trump in 2020. And YES - they would use their media and tech control to suppress the information. They would open it up when they no longer needed Biden and had another "solution."

What/who is that solution? I don't know. But Biden is done and he's being eliminated by the same people who put in him power.

Fauci has stuck his corrupt head up again. Expect lockdowns and boots on necks.

I think it’s all coming out now so President can pardon Hunter. You don’t have to be charged to be pardoned. President can pardon Federal future charges, current charges, but not state charges. No way are they going to allow Hunter to be prosecuted and no way are they going to allow GOP commission to hold hearings if they win majority control.

Hunter not remembering where he dumped his computer is certainly an act of God.

Nobody with that much criminality on the drive doesn’t go back and get it.....

Old Soviet asset turned Deep State asset Michael Isikoff now replicates his role in Plamegate and Russiagate/Spygate with Hunter Biden as the target. Who do his handlers want as Biden’s replacement after Kamala Harris is ditched?

Pelosi is next in line, then the President pro-temp of the Senate which should be Schumer. After that, it could be Warren, or committee chairmen if that is the succession lineage. It won’t be anyone who is not an anti-America MARXIST.

A full scale investigation of Isikoff would be very interesting. His associations with other leftist writers including Mark Hosenball, one of CIA turncoat/Cuban DGI agent Philip Agee’s cohorts, might uncover a long-overlooked MARXIST network among writers.

Just a guess, not a sermon!
