Where did the Biden money come from?

There’s a long history of politicians using their power to enrich their families, but Joe Biden emerges as the king of the sweetheart deal, with no less than five family members benefiting from his largesse, favorable access and powerful position for commercial gain.

These sweetheart deals include foreign partners and sometimes taxpayer dollars.

And it’s not just his son, Hunter...
 
Joe’s brother James Biden has been an integral part of the family political machine from the earliest days when he served as finance chair of Joe’s 1972 Senate campaign.

In fact, since Joe joined the Senate, James has accompanied him on congressional delegation trips overseas.

As vice-president, Joe brought James to White House functions.

Sometimes, James’ White House visits dovetailed with his overseas business dealings, and his commercial opportunities flourished during his brother’s tenure as vice president.

James was named executive vice president of HillStone International (a subsidiary of the huge construction management firm, Hill International) less than three weeks after the president of the company, Kevin Justice, visited the White House in 2010.

James had virtually no experience with housing construction, but following his being given that position, HillStone international started getting huge government contracts.

James Biden joined HillStone just as the firm was starting negotiations to win a massive contract in Iraq.

Six months later, the firm announced a contract to build 100,000 homes as part of a $35 billion, 500,000-unit project deal with TRAC Development, a South Korean company.

HillStone also received a $22 million U.S. federal government contract to manage a construction project for the State Department.

It was the most lucrative contract the firm ever acquired.

Its because President elect Joe Biden earned it at being a honorable and scandal free public servant for almost 50 years as a Senator and a two term vice president. Where did tRump's money come from as a lawlessly hacked in Putin puppet set on a mission to destroy Democracy from within and anything else of a civilized nature?
 
Most people are probably aware that Hunter Biden got a lucrative board position at Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, despite having zero relevant experience, and “earned” over $80,000 a month while the company sought to exploit their Biden connection.

But there’s more to Hunter Biden’s get-rich-quick exploitation of his father position as vice president of the United States.

With the election of his father as vice president, Hunter Biden launched businesses fused to his father’s power that led him to lucrative deals with a rogue’s gallery of governments and oligarchs around the world.

Sometimes he would hitch a prominent ride with his father aboard Air Force Two to visit a country where he was courting business.

Other times, the deals would be done more discreetly.

Always they involved foreign entities that appeared to be seeking something from his father.

Hunter Biden’s involvement with business partner Devon Archer and Burnham Financial Group became the vehicle for a number of murky deals abroad, involving connected oligarchs in Kazakhstan and state-owned businesses in China.

Archer was arrested in May 2016 in connection to the scheme.

Although Hunter Biden was not charged in the case, his fingerprints were all over Burnham.

The ‘legitimacy’ that his name and political status as the vice president’s son lent to the plan was brought up repeatedly in the trial.

In June 2011, StartUp Health, an investment consultancy was barely up and running when two of the company’s executives were ushered into the Oval Office of the White House.

They met with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

The day after their meeting with Obama and Biden, the fledgling company was featured at a large health care tech conference being run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and StartUp Health executives became regular visitors to the White House, attending events in 2011, 2014 and 2015.

How did they get such a high-profile meeting and get propelled into success so easily?

The chief medical officer of StartUp Health, Howard Krein, is Joe Biden’s son-in-law.

Joe Biden continued to help Krein promote his company at several appearances through his last months in the White House, including one in January 2017, where he made a surprise showing at the StartUp Health Festival in San Francisco.

The corporate event, open only to StartUp Health members, enabled the 250 people in attendance to chat in a closed session with the vice president.

That’s a classic, a Trumpkin accusing another for “ family members benefiting from his largesse,” did “copy and paste” really think Junior, Jared, Ivanka, and Eric have been sitting by idling for the last four years?

Remember how Joe Biden became the Obama administration’s point man for matters involving Ukraine, and that was crucial for Hunter Biden being put on the board of Burisma, and getting that pesky prosecutor investing Burisma fired?

Well, Joe Biden was also the administration’s point man in Latin America and the Caribbean, and that just so happened to work out handsomely for Joe’s brother, Frank Biden, who was working deals down in Costa Rica at the same time.

In March 2009, Joe Biden visited Costa Rica.

Within months of that visit, Costa Rica News announced a new multilateral partnership ‘to reform Real Estate in Latin America’ between Frank Biden, a developer named Craig Williamson, and the Guanacaste Country Club, a newly planned resort.

Frank’s vision for a country club in Costa Rica received support from the highest levels of the Costa Rican government, despite his lack of experience in building such developments.

He met with the Costa Rican ministers of education and energy and environment, as well as the president of the country.

Frank Biden’s deals in Latin America and the Caribbean continued to flourish after that.

this is all well understood in public information you don't have to pretend to be a moron we already know you're a moron
 
Prior to piggybacking off of Barack Obama’s popularity to become Vice President, Joe’s sister Valerie ran his Senate campaigns and his 1988 and 2008 presidential campaigns.

As a senior partner in the political messaging firm named Joe Slade White & Company, which had an eighteen-year history with Biden and his campaigns.

The firm received large fees from the Biden campaigns that Valerie was running.

Two and a half million dollars in consulting fees flowed to her firm from Citizens for Biden and Biden For President Inc. during the 2008 presidential bid alone.
 
Political figures have long used their families to route power and benefits for their own self-enrichment.

one particular politician — Joe Biden — emerges as the king of the sweetheart deal, with no less than five family members benefiting from his largesse, favorable access and powerful position for commercial gain.

In Biden’s case, these deals include foreign partners and, in some cases, US taxpayer dollars.

The Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment involves five family members: Joe’s son Hunter, son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and sister Valerie.

When this subject came up in 2019, Biden declared, “I never talked with my son or my brother or anyone else — even distant family — about their business interests. Period.”

As we will see, this is far from the case …

David Richter, son of the parent company’s founder, was not shy in explaining HillStone’s success in securing government contracts.

"It really helps", he told investors, to have “the brother of the vice president as a partner".
 
The day the Bidens took over Paradigm Global Advisors was a memorable one.

In the late summer of 2006 Joe Biden’s son Hunter and Joe’s younger brother, James, purchased the firm.

On their first day on the job, they showed up with Joe’s other son, Beau, and two large men and ordered the hedge fund’s chief of compliance to fire its president, according to a Paradigm executive who was present.

After the firing, the two large men escorted the fund’s president out of the firm’s midtown Manhattan office, and James Biden laid out his vision for the fund’s future.

“Don’t worry about investors,” he said, according to the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation. “We've got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”

At the time, the senator was just months away from both assuming the chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and launching his second presidential bid.

According to the executive, James Biden made it clear he viewed the fund as a way to take money from rich foreigners who could not legally give money to his older brother or his campaign account.

“We've got investors lined up in a line of 747s filled with cash ready to invest in this company,” the executive remembers James Biden saying.

At this, the executive recalled, Beau Biden, who was then running for attorney general of Delaware, turned bright red.

He told his uncle, “This can never leave this room, and if you ever say it again, I will have nothing to do with this.”

A spokesman for James and Hunter Biden said no such episode ever occurred.

Beau Biden died in 2015.

But the recollection of an effort to cash in on Joe’s political ties is consistent with other accounts provided by other former executives at the fund.

Three former Paradigm executives said James and Hunter Biden also sought to capitalize on Joe’s strong ties to labor unions in the hopes of landing investments from them; Charles Provini, who briefly served as Paradigm’s president, said both James and Hunter repeatedly cited Joe’s political ties when they recruited him to work for the fund.

“I was told because of his relationships with the unions that they felt as though it would be favorably looked upon to invest in the fund as long as it was a good fund,” Provini recalled.
 
Joe Biden has often made the claim that he hasn’t gotten rich from his decades in politics.

As recently as 2009, his net worth was less than $30,000, though in recent years he has made millions from book sales and speaking fees.

He refers to himself as “Middle-Class Joe”.

Biden’s image as a straight-shooting man of the people, however, is clouded by his son and brother, who have lengthy track records of making, or seeking, deals that cash in on his name.

Interviews, court records, government filings and news reports reveal that the Biden family consistently mixed business and politics over nearly half a century, moving from one business to the next as Joe’s stature in Washington grew.

Several of their partners and associates have ended up indicted or convicted.
