In a saga that reads more like a political thriller than a real estate dispute, Texas businessman Timothy Barton is at the center of a high-stakes legal storm that some allege is less about justice and more about silencing dissent.
Timothy Barton—a Christian businessman, proud Trump supporter, and founder of the successful JMJ Development—has, in yet another glaring example of Biden-era political persecution, become the latest target of lawfare by a weaponized federal government more interested in shielding the Chinese Communist Party than protecting American citizens.
Barton’s “crime”? Sounding the alarm on what he believed to be a covert Chinese land acquisition scheme on U.S. soil.
Back in 2019, Barton was approached by a Chinese national named Haoqiang “Michael” Fu and his associate Steven Wall.

The Texas House just passed a bill forbidding Chinese from buying land in Texas, but it’s so full of loopholes it’s useless. It goes to the Senate, now, and will probably be gutted of its loopholes. The House is full of traitors, but the Senate is still pretty solid. Greg Abbott bends with the wind. It’s been a disappointing experience.
Are you saying that if i’m chinese american that I can no longer buy land in Texas?
You just know money was flowing all over the place as this sort of stuff was going down. When do we do forensics on the financial records of the individuals and the agencies?
The people who prosecuted him should be quaking in their shoes.
