I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. All too often people mistake kindness for weakness — and all too often I am standing over top of them saying I warned you.
Hunter Biden (message to CEFC’s Raymond Zhao July 30, 2017)
Everyone but Big Media thinks President Biden sold influence to foreigners; 65% of voters think he “did something illegal” or “acted unethically” (source: ABC News). Now, his unraveling story makes impeachment look probable – no thanks to mainstream media that 68% of voters don’t trust (source: Gallup). By my count, they’re 0-3 against deceptive Democrat presidents:
- A finger wagging Bill Clinton: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” (he did).
- A smooth-talking Barack Obama: “You’ll be able to keep your doctor and health care plan” (we couldn’t).
- A preachy Joe Biden: “I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life” (he did).
The press looks complicit; believing Trump-Russia collusion, flat-out burying the “Hunter Biden laptop” story, and explaining away evidence given under oath. Despite red flags everywhere, reporters refuse to even float the Watergate question: “What did the president know, and when did he know it?” So, it falls upon the GOP to investigate Biden.
118 million Americans working at for-profit businesses know boards and owners would not tolerate a VP like Joe Biden; flying son Hunter overseas on the company jet, snarky denials of probes into potential wrongdoing, firing the man investigating the foreign company where Hunter held a no-work position. Common sense begs for skepticism.
Like why’d rich and powerful foreigners pay millions for the “illusion” of influence from Joe, and how’d Hunter and James operate a years-long influence-peddling scheme without the family patriarch’s approval? If Hunter can’t keep up with his incriminating laptop, how’d he set up and run a complex influence-peddling scheme in four countries without “the big guy’s” help?
Like father Joe having “no knowledge whatsoever” of how son Hunter made a living BUT knowing Hunter had gotten “no money made from China” (fact: Joe met with Hunter’s business associates, and Hunter confessed in court that he got $664,000 from China). Still, as evidence mounts, friendly editorials claim that doesn’t “implicate the president personally” (source: The Hill). Shame.
The press is complicit when it pooh-poohs a money-laundering scheme that lets Joe claim “no personal involvement” and “no evidence of influence peddling.” But, if I can track $40,000 from Hunter’s threatening call in July 2017 – when he said his dad was sitting with him – to Joe Biden’s bank account two months later, then so can The New York Times.
Everything needed to suspect a money-laundering scheme – bank records, secret-service logs, sworn testimony, and verified emails – is in the public record, thanks to House Republicans. Timelines of two transactions are eye-opening, starting in March 2017 when CEFC wired Hunter $3 million as a “thank you” for the Biden family’s assistance in furthering the interest of the PRC-connected energy giant (source: Hunter’s business partner)
July 30, 2017 – Hunter texts a threat to Raymond Zhou because CEFC has not paid a promised $10 million (source: Hunters WhatsApp message). Hunter also emails CEFC instructions: 50% for CEFC chairman Ye Jianming and 50% for a Biden holding company – with 10% to be held for “the big guy” (source: Hunter’s laptop)
July 31, 2017 – Zhao texts that “CEFC is willing to cooperate with the family” and Hunter confirms this to Gongwen Dong, a CEFC executive and Hunter’s soon-to-be partner (source: WhatsApp messages)
August 3, 2017 – Hunter opens bank account for a new company, Hudson West III, the 50-50 joint venture between Hunter Biden and Gongwen Dong (source: subpoenaed bank records).
August 8, 2017 – A CEFC subsidiary, Northern International Capital, wires $5 million to Hudson West III. Hunter immediately puts $400,000 into his Owasco P.C. corporation, transfers $400,000 into his personal accounts, and buys a new Porsche (source: subpoenaed bank records).
August 14, 2017 – James and Sara Biden’s Lion Hall Group account, with an account balance of only $1,964.62, receives a wire transfer of $150,000 from Hunter’s Owasco P.C. account (source: subpoenaed bank records).
August 29, 2017 – James and Sara’s joint personal checking account, with an account balance of only $46.88, gets a deposit of $50,000 from Sara, withdrawn from the Lion Hall Group account (source: subpoenaed bank records).
September 3, 2017 – Sara Biden signs $40,000 check “payable to Joe Biden” from that joint personal checking account, calling it “loan repayment” (source: subpoenaed bank records).
September 25, 2017 – The CEO of Americore LLC, for whom James Biden works, attends charitable gala hosted by Joe. Americore hired James to “get us in front of certain people in government – in front of the right people” (source: bankruptcy court documents).
March 1, 2018 – Americore Health LLC “loans” James’s joint personal checking account $200,000 by wire transfer, and James immediately issues a $200,000 personal check to Joe, which is labeled “loan repayment” (source: subpoenaed bank records).Rep.
Jamie Raskin (D-MD) cites “loans” originating from Joe’s attorney trust account as exculpatory evidence, missing the point entirely: Joe’s “loans” paper over the scheme in which Biden Inc. got free money. No Biden ever intended to repay the chumps at CEFC or Americore, who would NOT have paid a penny but for Joe’s influence.
Joe got the $40,000 “loan repayment” from Sara and $200,000 “loan repayment” from James only because of funds originating from shady entities in return for (real or illusional) influence. His $40,000 check from Sara was exactly “10% for the big guy” out of the $400,000 CEFC wired to Hunter. Those checks may not prove guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt, but the transactions beg to be explained under threat of perjury.
Joe Biden is, of course, entitled to the presumption of innocence, but not President Biden – not with the specter of communist Chinese millions buying his influence. Democrats in Congress and the DOJ took an oath to protect the Republic from that foreign rival. It’s time for Hakeem Jeffries and Merrick Garland to man up for we the people.
Financially, Joe was making distributions from his estate with other people’s money. Looks clever, but it’s either illegal or unethical – and it was all happening with his involvement. Joe Biden profited from elected office. His family was involved with shady business partners. Pay To Play began with the Clintons. It needs to end with the Bidens.
