Biden’s younger brother James emerges as a central figure in the family’s big-money deals

President Biden‘s younger brother, James B. Biden, doesn’t appear in the headlines as much as his troubled nephew, the president’s son, Hunter Biden.

A House Republican investigation, however, is poised to expose how James Biden and eight additional family members may have profited off his brother’s powerful positions in government and perhaps put national security in danger by compromising the president.

Court documents and Congressional reports show James Biden wasn’t shy about promoting his brother’s influence, including telling potential business partners in 2019 that Joe Biden “was in the room with him” as he closed in on a lucrative deal.

Seven years younger than Joe Biden, James Biden, 73, never graduated college but has made a successful living with a string of varied business ventures, some of the most lucrative deals secured with Hunter Biden.

The two Biden‘s recently raked in seven-figure payouts from energy firms connected to the Chinese Communist Party, bank records obtained by Congressional Republicans show. The money was wired in 2017 and 2018 to Hunter Biden‘s Owasco law firm and then distributed by Hunter Biden to associates and family members. Hunter Biden gave at least $1.4 million to Lion Hall Group, James Biden’s consulting firm based in Merion Station, Pennsylvania. The president’s daughter-in-law, Hallie Biden, also got a cut of the funds.

It’s not clear what services James, Hunter or Hallie Biden provided for the money, but Sen. Charles Grassley, who has been probing the Biden business deals for years, said the payout was to compensate for work helping the Chinese Communist Party-backed firms “pursue deals and expand its reach in the energy sector.”

When James Biden’s bank questioned the large deposits, his wife, Sara Biden, told the bank it was for assisting Owasco with international clients, according to congressional investigators.

So far we have seen just a few million dollars in bribes. The office of the Vice Presidency is worth much more than this. I suspect much money is hidden in foreign banks.

Looks like the deep state is throwing Biden under the bus. They plan on replacing him before the election.

But, but, but….he isn’t running for President!!!! (Sarcasm.)

My answer would be, “So, we shouldn’t investigate money laundering?”

It DOES appear that they’re trying to push him to not run again. I assume they’re doing this NOW, so that if he decides to not run again, he can pardon everyone on his way out the door before anyone is convicted. And as such, in the future can claim “No one was ever convicted. That was just a vast right-wing conspiracy!”

Supposedly, James is the “brains” behind most of the Biden Crime Family scams. He’s also a bigger a$$hole than Joe, who is famously a real jerk.
