Dollars to Dining: Bank records show proximity of Joe Biden meetings to son's foreign payments
Just the News ^ | 8/9/23 | Steven Richards and John Solomon

Posted on 08/10/2023 3:19:08 AM PDT by CFW

In the weeks before she dined with Joe Biden at a swanky Washington D.C. restaurant in April 2014, Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina deposited $3.5 million into a bank account tied to Hunter Biden’s businesses and also committed to invest in a New York City real estate project with Biden's partners, bank records collected by Congress and emails among the younger Biden's business partners show.

"Any news on this?" Hunter Biden emailed his partner Devon Archer on April 13, 2014, seeking an update on a real estate deal in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.

Archer, who recently testified to Congress, wrote back the future presidential son that the Russian businesswoman and wife of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov was committed to the project. "Seller is flaking. Asked for 90 days. We made a $41mm offer. Yelena confirmed green light to fund deposit,” he replied.

The emails and bank records make clear that Hunter Biden's ability to provide foreign suitors access to his father, then the vice president, particularly came at times when deals were pending. The pattern, according to evidence made public Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee, was unmistakable.

“It's a huge concern,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told the Just the News, No Noise television show Wednesday night. “Everything timed out. With these payments, Joe Biden was always within range."

The left contends that no money was paid directly to Biden. If that is their excuse then no one would ever be charged with bribery or extortion since they would just have the money deposited in a family member's account and the investigators would have to accept there was no connection to the accused.

In addition, Hunter was paying Joe's bills and expenses. How can they even pretend that Joe Biden wasn't benefiting from these funds. The cover-up by the left and DOJ is simply amazing.

House Oversight Committee Chair Comer told John Solomon’s “Just the News”
<><> “Everything timed out....Joe Biden was always within range when foreign money was paid.
<><>the Bidens kept pocketing tens of millions of dollars from around the world
<><>each time the foreigner had some type of communication with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is the money grubbing brand, and his family hyper-sold the Biden brand.

The pattern of Biden money grubbing was repeated time and again.
<><>the opportunistic cokehead Hunter courted wealthy oligarchs with political and financial influence
<><>he dealt w/ dangerous people w/ tainted backgrounds,
<><>over $20 million that benefitted the greedy Biden family has been exposed..... so far.

Crackhead whore-mongering Hunter delivered bigtime.

This is made clear by meals organized by bagman Hunter at Café Milano where then-VP Joe Biden dined with oligarchs from around the world, timed only AFTER they had paid off his son for getting access to Joe.

It’s clear Joe Biden knew about his son’s business dealings and allowed himself to be ‘the money grubbing brand’ sold to enrich the Biden Crime Family while he was Vice President of the United States.

Biden has made a public spectacle of his closeness to his son—parading him around in the WH, at state dinners on AF One—while continually denying knowledge of Hunter’s business deals w/ our foreign adversaries.......indications are Hunter even lives in the WH.

Yet, the grinning self-serving Joe has never divulged, and few people know, how helpful Joe is to Hunter’s influence-peddling.

foxnews.com Jessica Chasmar, and Cameron Cawthorne reported Obama-era emails reveal Hunter’s extensive ties to nearly a dozen senior-level Biden admin aides and was deeply connected to VP Biden’s inner circle

Nearly a dozen current and former officials serving in the Obama/Biden administration, including the president’s national security adviser and the secretary of state, have extensive ties to Hunter Biden, who is accused by Republicans of selling access to his father, dating back over a decade.

A Fox News Digital analysis reveals the extent of Hunter’s potential reach in the White House, while the corrupt Hunter skates away charged w/ only two alleged misdemeanor tax violations and a felony gun charge.

The contacts includes:
<><>two members of Biden’s Cabinet
<><>one former Cabinet member,
<><>a top aide to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin,
<><>a national security adviser,
<><>five top Obama/Biden White House aides,
<><>and a top Biden campaign aide on leave as communications director for Jill Biden.

Via her aide, Jill could have been privy to all the dirty doings but she has escaped scrutiny, so far.



The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow
the money trail and obtain witness testimony to determine
<><>the degree to which foreign actors targeted the Bidens,
<><>the degree to which President Biden is compromised
<><>the degree of Biden’s corruptness,
<><>the degree to which the Bidens undermined our national security
<><>the degree to which American families were threatened by the Bidens influence peddling.

It's a huge concern

It's a "concern"? It's concerning?

How about it is a huge criminal racketeering operation that included selling out the interests of the United States.

The Bidens have pocketed even more graft from China.

The University of Pennsylvania was inundated with Chinese money once The Biden Center was established on campus.

The tricky U of Penn laundered the Chinese graft by paying the compromised Biden $999,000 a year...... calculatedly pegged at under a million so it does not have to be reported.

The U of Penn had so much Chinese money it was forced to give some of it away in an attempt to save Biden’s filthy ***.......the uneasy Penn up and gave local Pa schools $100 million to the surprise of the local educators.

Joe showed his gratitude by giving a Penn official one of his coveted ambassador jobs.

There’s also people with a compulsion for eating dirt.

It doesn’t matter if Joe ever received any money, he facilitated the actions which allowed Hunter to be paid for the implied US Government actions requested. The requests of those paying Hunter happened. Air Force 2 flew Hunter to China 20 times, Hunter and Joe meet with foreign leaders of governments and businesses. The implication is clear, my dad the VP is right here at this meeting. We may not of said anything, but I got you a meeting with the VP. Those actions we can prove today! Those actions are illegal.
