How ironic; after YEARS of the Russia Lies, endless "fishing expeditions" against the Trumps have YEILDED NOTHING (the NY "creat-a-crime" probe NOW SHUT DOWN......it looks like THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY IS WHO IS HEADED FOR THE HOOSEGOW.
Investigations turn up the heat on Hunter Biden
Further proof emerged this week of a financial relationship between President Biden’s son Hunter, the president’s brother James and a Chinese company with reportedly close ties to that country’s ruling Communist Party.
In addition, the Wall Street Journal reported this week that the Justice Department’s probe into Hunter Biden is gaining momentum. He acknowledged last December that federal investigators were looking at his taxes. But the New York Times reported in March that the Justice Department is also looking at whether he may have violated money laundering and foreign lobbying laws.
Meanwhile, allegations that Russian disinformation may have produced or manipulated emails found on a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden at a computer repair shop in 2019 were debunked by the Washington Post.
No clear-cut evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden has emerged. But this week Republicans resurrected questions they have raised for years: whether Hunter Biden’s dealings with CEFC China Energy, the Chinese company that paid him and his uncle around $5 million in 2017, may have exposed the president to potential conflicts of interest with regard to the Chinese government.
~ His extensive connections to a Chinese businessman named Ye Jianming, the founder of CEFC, have been reported in the past.
“Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from foreign sources as a result of business relationships that he built during the period when his father was vice president of the United States and after,” read a report released by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Johnson in September 2020, which detailed Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ye. “The financial transactions illustrate serious counterintelligence and extortion concerns relating to Hunter Biden and his family,” the report said.
~The GOP report alleged connections between Ye and the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese military. The New York Times in 2018 reported that CEFC was one of the few “Chinese companies to receive Beijing’s approval to chase splashy deals at a time when the government has mostly restricted overseas acquisitions.” A supplemental report by Grassley and Johnson two weeks after the presidential election detailed further links between Ye and Hunter and James Biden.
This week, Johnson and Grassley released documents showing receipts of millions of dollars of payments from CEFC to Hunter and James Biden beginning in August 2017. That September, Hunter Biden signed an agreement to represent Patrick Ho, who worked for CEFC, for a $1 million retainer, according to the Washington Post.
In November of that same year, Ho was arrested by U.S. federal agents in New York. He was found guilty by a jury a year later of bribing African government officials to secure their approval of energy contracts.
~ The Washington Post also reported that security experts had verified the validity of some emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop. Those emails were first reported in the fall of 2020 by the New York Post, which said that the computer had been left at a computer repair shop in 2019.
But with the presidential election two weeks away, Twitter blocked users from accessing the Post article for two days after its release, citing a policy against allowing the publication of hacked material. After an uproar, Twitter unblocked the article, but not before Republicans accused the tech giant of trying to meddle in the election.
Following the release of the New York Post report, a host of former diplomats and U.S. intelligence officials released a letter stating that the article “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” even as they acknowledged that “we do not have evidence of Russian involvement.”
The Biden campaign echoed the charges of Russian disinformation at the time. But the debunking of the Russian disinformation accusation now has led conservatives to claim that the incident showed liberal bias in the media and at the Big Tech companies.
~ The New York Post article in 2020 focused on Hunter Biden’s dealings with a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, and implied that Joe Biden’s diplomacy in Ukraine during his time as vice president was influenced by his son’s financial interests.
Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014 despite having little experience in the energy sector or Ukraine, and he was reportedly paid up to $50,000 a month by the company. He left it in 2019.
~However, a few days after the Post published its article in 2020, an ex-business partner of Hunter Biden accused Joe Biden — then a candidate for president — of being involved in his son’s dealings with CEFC. Anthony Bobulinski said he took part in a meeting in Los Angeles in 2017 where Joe, James and Hunter Biden were all present and an investment deal with CEFC was discussed.
Bobulinski also provided emails to the Wall Street Journal that purportedly showed another business partner, James Gilliar, sent him a message in May 2017 discussing how each partner in the deal with CEFC would be compensated. The email said three partners — Hunter Biden, Rob Walker and Bobulinski — would receive 20%, with James Biden getting 10%.
And then the email said, “10 held by H for the big guy?”
