    Hunter Biden says his ‘tax affairs’ are under investigation
    President-elect Joe Biden’s son has been under scrutiny for his foreign work while Biden was vice president.

    9 Dec 2020
    President-elect Joe Biden’s son Hunter said Wednesday that his “tax affairs” are under federal investigation, putting a renewed spotlight on the questions about his financial dealings that dogged his father’s campaign.

    In a statement released by the president-elect’s transition office, the younger Biden said he learned about the investigation on Tuesday. He did not disclose details of the matter.

    “I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors,” he said in a statement.

    Hunter Biden has long been a target of President Donald Trump and his allies, who have accused him of profiting off his political connections. Trump and his supporters also raised unsubstantiated charges of corruption related to Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine at the time his father was vice president and leading the Obama administration’s dealings with the Eastern European nation.

    The disclosure of the federal investigation led by the US Attorney’s Office in Delaware came at an awkward moment for the incoming president, who is assembling his Cabinet. His pick for attorney general could have oversight of the investigation into the new president’s son if it is still ongoing when Biden is sworn in on January 20.

    The transition team said in a statement: “President-elect Biden is deeply proud of his son, who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger.”

    Hunter Biden’s lawyers did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment.

    A Russian aircraft designed to survive a nuclear war was no match for a group of suspected thieves, who police say breached the plane and stole armloads of military-grade communications equipment last week.
    Clasic, tovarish.

    Hunter Biden’s China business deals leading up to 2018 probe detailed in Senate report
    The transactions offer a glimpse into Hunter Biden’s alleged activities prior to the launch of the grand jury investigation in 2018

    Grand jury investigation into Hunter Biden over possible tax fraud

    Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy details the allegations on 'Special Report'

    Hunter Biden’s past dealings with Chinese nationals – including some flagged for “potential financial criminal activity” – are outlined in a Senate committee report reviewed by Fox News.

    The details come as Biden – the 50-year-old son of President-elect Joe Biden – on Wednesday acknowledged that he has been under a grand jury investigation through the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware since 2018 over his “tax affairs.”

    Biden's father was not a target of the investigation, a source told Fox News.

    It was unclear whether any of the specific transactions detailed in the Senate panel’s report were among those being investigated by the U.S. attorney. But the transactions offer a glimpse into Hunter Biden’s alleged activities prior to the launch of the grand jury investigation in 2018.

    The report -- prepared by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee -- details the younger Biden’s associations with Ye Jianming, founder of CEFC China Energy Co., and his business associate Gongwen Dong.


    HUNTER BIDEN 'TAX AFFAIRS' UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION; LINKS TO CHINA FUNDS EMERGE, SOURCES SAY

    “Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the People’s Liberation Army,” the report says. “Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow.”

    Why did Justice Department keep Hunter Biden investigation covert?Video
    According to the report, Hunter Biden’s relationship with Ye Jianming and Gongwen Dong began in 2015, while Biden's father was vice president under former President Barack Obama.

    “Ye’s connections to the Communist government are extensive and ... Ye was also financially connected to Vice President Biden’s brother, James Biden,” the report says. “Thus, there exists a vast web of corporate connections and financial transactions between and among the Biden family and Chinese nationals.”

    On Sept. 8, 2017, the report says, Ye’s company announced a $9.1 billion deal to acquire a stake in Rosneft, a Russian state-owned energy company.

    On that same date, the report adds, Hunter Biden allegedly opened up a line of credit with Gongwen Dong, using the business name Hudson West III -- with Hunter Biden, James Biden and James Biden’s wife, Sara Biden, all listed as “authorized users of credit cards associated with the account.”

    Also on that same date, the report says, the Biden family members used those credit cards to purchase more than $100,000 in airline tickets, technology products, hotel rooms and restaurant meals – transactions that were flagged for “potential financial criminal activity.”

    The report adds that the credit cards were backed by $99,000 being transferred from a China-linked Hudson West III account to a separate account, until the credit card accounts were closed.

    “The transaction was identified for potential financial criminal activity,” the report adds.

    The report later shows that Hudson West III was incorporated April 19, 2016, more than a year before the credit cards were issued, with its ownership changing “at some unknown point.”

    After that change, the report notes, the ownership was divided between Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco PC and Coldharbour Capital LLC, each with a 50% stake.

    “Although ownership in Coldharbour Capital is equally divided between two individuals, Mervyn Yan and Tian Zhang, it has a business address identified as the address of Gongwen Dong,” the report adds. “According to records on file with the Committees, Hudson West III checking accounts were opened on Aug. 3, 2017, and Sept. 6, 2017, with Yan and Robert Hunter Biden. Gongwen Dong was a former signer, which suggests that at one time he was associated with Hudson West III’s bank accounts and finances.”

    HUNTER BIDEN'S FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS REPEATEDLY FLAGGED AS POTENTIAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, SENATE PROBE FOUND

    On Aug. 4, 2017 – about a month before the issuance of the credit cards – CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US) LLC, a subsidiary of Ye Jianming’s energy company – with Gongwen Dong listed as director – sent $100,000 to Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco, according to the Senate report. This transaction, too, was flagged for “potential criminal financial activity,” the report says.

    Four days later, on Aug. 8, 2017, the subsidiary wired $5 million to the Hudson West III account, according to the Senate report. “These funds may have originated from a loan issued from the account of a company called Northern International Capital Holdings, a Hong Kong-based investment company identified at one time as a ‘substantial shareholder’ in CEFC International Limited along with Ye. It is unclear whether Hunter Biden was half-owner of Hudson West III at that time.”

    The same day the $5 million was received, the report adds, Hudson West III began sending “frequent payments” to Owasco (the Hunter Biden firm), with the payments continuing for more than a year, through Sept. 25, 2018. “These payments, which were described as consulting fees,” the report adds, reached $4,790,375.25 in just over a year.”

    FLASHBACK: PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN PLEDGED NOT TO INTERFERE WITH DOJ INVESTIGATIONS IN 2019

    One payment – dated March 22, 2018 – was for $1 million, transferred from Hudson West to Owasco with the memo line, “Dr Patrick Ho Chi Ping Representation.” The Senate report says Hunter Biden said this “misdirected” $1 million was related to his representation of Patrick Ho, another associate of Ye. “These transactions illustrate the financial connections between Gongwen Dong’s Hudson West III, Ye Jianming’s CEFC, and Hunter Biden’s Owasco,” the report adds.

    Why are we so concerned about Hunter Biden? It's not like he's up for office?

    If you want to talk about relatives of politicians benefitting from their relationships wouldn't in be more appropriate to talk about the trump spawn and their spouses?

    That's a good question. Everybody knows that Hunter does his business on his own, doesn't he? He never asks his father for any help (just asks for a lift in AF2 to China and others).

    But the Chinese connections are surely not so bad (for the national security) as the Russian connections, are they?

    Investigation of His Son Is Likely to Hang Over Biden as He Takes Office

    Unless the Trump Justice Department clears Hunter Biden, the new president will confront the prospect of his own administration handling an inquiry that could expose his son to criminal prosecution.

    Dec. 10, 2020
    WASHINGTON — The newly disclosed federal tax investigation into his son will test President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s stated commitment to independent law enforcement while leaving him in a no-win situation that could prove distracting at best and politically and legally perilous at worst.

    Unless President Trump’s Justice Department clears Hunter Biden of wrongdoing before leaving office, the new president will confront the prospect of his own newly installed administration deciding how or whether to proceed with an inquiry that could expose his son to criminal prosecution. Already some Republicans are demanding a special counsel be appointed to insulate the case from political influence.

    On the campaign trail, Mr. Biden excoriated Mr. Trump’s efforts to use the F.B.I. and Justice Department to go after his enemies and go easy on his friends, vowing to restore a measure of autonomy for law enforcement if he won the election. News of the investigation into Hunter Biden now focuses even more attention on the incoming president’s choice for attorney general, and it will inevitably raise questions if he appoints someone perceived as a political ally rather than someone seen as more independent of the White House.

    Hunter Biden Saga Personifies Ruling Class Power and Conceit | Opinion
    JOSH HAMMER , NEWSWEEK OPINION EDITOR
    12/11/20

    On the precipice of the 2020 presidential election, the American ruling class pulled off every stunt imaginable for its preferred candidate, Joe Biden. Presidential debate moderators deliberately refused to delve into the realm of foreign policy, an area in which Uncle Joe has been wrong on every major issue for four decades. Media elites dutifully praised the Supreme Court's unwise failure to intervene and clarify that state legislatures, not governors or state courts, retain sole power over changing election law. The most anodyne of questioning about the unprecedented proliferation of inherently destabilizing mail-in balloting was roundly denounced as "voter suppression." In major cities, Antifa street thugs effectively held hostage public safety unless Biden won.

    But of all the ways in which the ruling class's various levers worked in tandem to pave the way for Biden, none was more galling than Big Tech's weeks-long censorship of the New York Post's bombshell reporting on prodigal son Hunter Biden's unsavory exploits overseas. On consecutive days in mid-October, the Post published stories about how Hunter leveraged his father's lofty perch to unjustly enrich himself in Ukraine and China, respectively.

    Facebook promptly blacklisted the story. Twitter nearly banned access to the story in toto and had the chutzpah to lock out the Post—the nation's oldest continually operating daily newspaper, which was founded by Alexander Hamilton—from its own account for over two weeks. Outside Silicon Valley, media lackeys carrying water for the Biden campaign unanimously decried the Post's reporting as "Russian disinformation."

    But now, as we approach the Electoral College's presumptive formalization of an impending Biden presidency, Hunter confirmed in an official statement that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware is investigating him for possible tax fraud and money laundering violations involving unseemly foreign business dealings. It appears that China, America's arch geopolitical foe in which Hunter has had extensive private equity dealings, features front and center in the feds' investigation. Who would've thunk?

It appears that China, America's arch geopolitical foe in which Hunter has had extensive private equity dealings, features front and center in the feds' investigation. Who would've thunk?

    As one Twitter wit asked: "Where does the New York Post go to get its apology?"

    Every single journalist and Democratic propagandist who rushed to dismiss the Post's reporting as "Russian disinformation" now has egg on his face. And Facebook and Twitter, censorious industrialists who manipulate their monopolistic control over the 21st century's online town square to bolster "enlightened" liberal narratology and suppress conservative speech, have been revealed for all to be what red-blooded Americans already knew they were: levers of the ruling class.

    The divide tearing this nation asunder is increasingly not, per se, that between Republican and Democrat. It is not that between conservative and liberal, and it is certainly not that between white or nonwhite, straight or gay, immigrant or native, or so forth. Rather, the divide in America in the year 2020 is that between the ruling class and those non-elitist Americans that the ruling class deigns to treat as subjects to be ruled with an iron fist.

    The American ruling class is multitudinous. It is both public and private, both deep state and "woke" corporate boardroom, both Hollywood and Wall Street. Entrance to the ruling class is circumscribed by its gatekeeping credentialing institutions—namely, the academy—and membership is closely monitored for uniformity of political ideology. The full "woke" catechism must be imbibed like mother's milk, and the pursuit of Truth must be subordinated to the ever-evolving demands of the Narrative.

    If the academy is the ruling class's gatekeeper and the deep state its preferred mode of heavy-handed governance, then Big Tech is its most trustworthy private-sector appendage. The goliaths of Big Tech are entrusted with self-regulating our contemporary instrumentalities of political speech, and empowered with blocking rogue miscreants if they step too far out of line. Big Tech is the ruling class's means by which to control the acceptability, or lack thereof, of speech itself. Truth is not a relevant criterion in that calculus—but fidelity to the tenets of sacramental progressivism, and the Democratic Party itself, certainly is.

    Fortuitously, the Federal Trade Commission and 46 state attorneys general recently launched an antitrust probe to break up Facebook. Prominent private practice attorneys have also filed a similar suit. But the ruling class's corruption and rot will continue to fester unless adequately challenged by conscientious citizens tired of being treated as second-class subjects, rather than free citizens.

    and yet they failed to file any charges resulting from this investigation that uncovered such egregious behaviour on the part of Hunter.

    IMO the system is broken and unless there is campaign finance reform it will never be fixed. , and term limits. The primary concern of Congressman and Senators is not their job but their re-election. All these "stolen election" BS is simply a fund raising device by trump. I read he has raised 170 million dollars 40% of which can go to the RNC, plus he has his falsely motivated base. of course they are going to carry his water. The Democrats in Congress are the same and are motivated by some of the same dynamics. the only difference IMO is that their base is more sophisticated and educated, consequently they have to also be more sophisticated in their machinations
    That's my opinion, I am aligned with them because they are the only game in town that comes anywhere near my political attitude, but no way am I happy with them also.

    I vote for a political party that has an 8 year max limit.

    After that, it's adios amigo. Go and get some dirt under your nails, and connect with real people.

    I like you Buckaroo.

    Don't know if you are left, right or center, but you use your brain instead of being stuck in dogmas.

    The thread is dead you moron.

    Much like the "caravan" fairy story upon which the GOP relied prior to the mid-terms, this particular pantomime is long finished.

    I supposed because baldy orange loser mentioned it in his rant the other day you think it's actually true.
