Joe Biden is flat-out lying when he denies that his son Hunter took a massive payoff from the wife of Moscow’s former mayor and that all the questions about Hunter’s business deals are “totally discredited.”
The record is clear. Hunter Biden did take that money from the woman in Moscow. He did ride with his father on Air Force Two to work on a deal worth up to $1.5 billion with an outfit controlled by the Chinese Communist government, and he did other major deals with outlets with close ties to the People’s Liberation Army. Joe Biden aided and abetted those deals by acting as Hunter’s ferryman.
Why was Hunter on Air Force Two for that trip? What possible purpose was served for the public?
And whether or not Hunter did anything illegal with regard to his bizarre “service” on the board of the Ukrainian-centered energy business Burisma, everything about it looked unethical, and his father’s refusal to recuse himself from Ukrainian policy did damage to American diplomatic interests. Career diplomats repeatedly said so at the time.
That’s why it wasn’t a conservative outlet, but Politico, that did a whole investigative piece more than a year ago describing what it called “Biden, Inc.” The profiteering by the Bidens all over the world clearly was predicated on the prominence of Joe as vice president.
