Code Name ‘Project Hanson’: Insider Documents Reveal How Hunter Biden Associates Helped Chinese Military Contractor Acquire Michigan Dual-Use Manufacturer

In September 2015, the Obama-Biden administration approved the sale of a strategically sensitive Michigan manufacturer, Henniges Automotive, to a firm connected to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and a Chinese military contractor that was on an American watch list because of its close ties to the People’s Liberation Army. Hunter Biden’s equity fund, backed by the Communist Chinese government, and the Chinese contractor, Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), needed special approval for the deal from the Committee of Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CIFIUS) because Henniges produced technology with potential military use.
AVIC entities have been sanctioned by the United States on five separate occasions since 1993 and the addition to the watch list–a major red flag—occurred less than a year-and-a-half before they co-purchased Henniges with Hunter Biden’s BHR. The fact that CFIUS approved the deal is alarming given that Henniges owns numerous facilities in the United States that are now controlled by a Chinese military front company.
Internal BHR documents show exactly how the Chinese military contractor was able to disguise its ownership via shell corporations and formed a joint-venture with the son of the vice president to facilitate the Chinese takeover of an American dual-use technology supplier. Additional documents suggest that Hunter Biden’s Chinese-backed venture funneled money to an entity controlled by Vanessa Kerry, the daughter of then-Secretary of State John Kerry, just one month before CFIUS approved the takeover. At the time, Secretary Kerry played a lead role on the Obama-Biden CFIUS committee.
When news of the AVIC takeover of Michigan-based manufacturer Henniges Automotive hit the wire, Biden’s associates celebrated, calling the transaction a “proof of concept” for future Chinese acquisitions. “Congratulations!!!! Proof of concept again,” read the subject line of Devon Archer’s email on September 15, 2015. “This is great. Let’s get a letter out to Ambassador Baucus ASAP Archie (an apparent Archer nickname),” Bevan Cooney replied. Cooney is a former Biden associate who is now incarcerated for a separate venture—the tribal bond scheme—involving Biden’s business partners. [Should we explain that “Archie” is Devon Archer?] Cooney has provided investigative journalists Peter Schweizer and Matthew Tyrmand with access to his emails with written authorization.
Cooney’s emails (and their attachments) reveal how the Biden-led Chinese joint venture known as Bohai Harvest RST (BHR) viewed the Henniges acquisition—which they code named “Project Hanson”—as a major coup and a model for future BHR “cross-border” investments.
Moments after the deal closed, Archer set to work drafting a letter to U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus (who happened to be a longtime friend of the Biden family). Archer’s letter was an invitation to Ambassador Baucus to attend a banquet celebration for the deal with esteemed guest including BHR’s communist state-owned “strategic partners” and investors:
The strategic partners and investors that Archer listed—particularly Sinopec, the Bank of China, and the China Development Bank—are all State-owned entities and therefore arms of the Chinese Communist Party whose executives/officials, along with BHR, clearly wanted to celebrate the Henniges coup.
Indeed, Hunter Biden’s Chinese business partner were pleased. One internal BHR document states in both English and Mandarin Chinese: “We are incredibly proud of the perseverance, dedication and ingenuity of the Project Hanson team who collectively brought to life the first-born of BHR’s cross-border investment platform, the first of many to come.”

Roger Robinson, a former senior director for international economic affairs on President Ronald Reagan’s National Security Council, claims that “the U.S. government has known for years that AVIC has been helping China’s military and aiding U.S. enemies and as such was sanctioned in the past.” AVIC’s well-known and long-established ties to the Chinese military-industrial complex makes the Obama-Biden administration’s approval “all the more curious.” “This is anything but a benign Chinese enterprise,” said Robinson.
But BHR and AVIC’s Project Hanson helped obfuscate and ameliorate the AVIC connections by creating a complex ownership structure. One internal BHR document reveals precisely how the Chinese military front company was able to disguise its true ownership in a byzantine off-shore structure, presumably obfuscating the fact that the Chinese military was taking over U.S. company whose technology is on the restricted Commerce Control List (“Target” refers to U.S. military supplier Henniges Automotive):
BHR Hunter Biden by Breitbart News on Scribd
Another internal BHR document contains a shocking revelation: Devon Archer facilitated Chinese “support” for an entity called Seed Global Health. Seed Global Health was co-founded and controlled by the daughter of Secretary John Kerry. According to BHR’s December 2015 internal document: “A special shout out to our director and shareholder, Devon Archer, for his involvement with the Seed Global Health non-profit foundation, which works to send medical staff and resources globally to countries in need. BHR will continue to support this and other worthy causes.”
It appears that BHR is referring to a fundraiser hosted by Devon Archer for Secretary Kerry’s daughter and her Seed Global Health organization that occurred on August 16, 2015—less than one month before Kerry’s State Department and the rest of the Obama-Biden CFIUS agencies approved Henniges takeover. The politically connected Seed Global Health has previously come under fire for receiving more than $9 million in State Department funds without bids or competition and, in 2018, an executive at Seed Global Health was charged by federal prosecutors for violating federal conflict of interest laws and illegal lobbying.

Joe Biden’s Absence From Chinese Venture Business Records Doesn’t Rule Out His Involvement
Former Vice President Joe Biden is not named in any of the corporate records related to Hunter Biden's 2017 business dealings with a Chinese firm.

- ANDREW KERRINVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
- Former Vice President Joe Biden is not named in any available corporate records related to Hunter Biden’s 2017 business dealings with the Chinese energy firm CEFC China Energy Co.
- But a much-publicized email purportedly referencing the former vice president as the “big guy” shows that the stakeholders were considering having an intermediary hold his stake in the venture.
- A trove of documents from Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner, Tony Bobulinski, reveals that Joe Biden was directly referenced in numerous texts in May 2017 amid a heated dispute between Bobulinski and Hunter Biden regarding the structure of their firm.
- Joe Biden’s presidential campaign issued a statement Thursday saying the former vice president has never even considered being involved in any business dealings with his family.
Daily Caller News Foundation found no records in a trove of text messages and other documents from Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski indicating that Joe Biden obtained any off-the-books stake in Oneida Holdings when its structure was finalized in May 2017.
But the document trove does contain numerous text messages from the stakeholders in the venture that directly mentioned Joe Biden and detailed concerns that the deal risked compromising the former vice president’s future 2020 campaign.
Bobulinski told reporters during a brief press conference on Thursday that he had an hour-long meeting in person with Joe Biden about his family’s business dealings in China, “with which he was plainly familiar.”
“I have heard Joe Biden say he’s never discussed business with Hunter. That is false,” Bobulinski said. “I have firsthand knowledge about this because I directly dealt with the Biden family, including Joe Biden.” (RELATED: Hunter Biden’s Ex-Business Partner Says Joe Biden Was Aware Of Overseas Dealings)
Joe Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement Thursday that the former vice president “has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever. He has never held stock in any such business arrangements nor has any family member or any other person ever held stock for him.”
The Bobulinski document trove includes internal corporate documents for Oneida, which was brokering a joint venture deal with the Chinese energy firm CEFC China Energy Co in May 2017.
None of the corporate documents in the trove related to Oneida identify Joe Biden by name. However, an email sent from Hunter Biden associate James Gilliar to Bobulinski on May 13, 2017, suggests that if Joe Biden was to have a stake in the firm, it would be held by an intermediary such as his son.
Gilliar’s email was sent nine days before Oneida’s structure was finalized on May 22. His message described the then-agreed upon equity distribution for Oneida’s stakeholders — Hunter Biden, Rob Walker, Bobulinksi, and Gilliar would each hold a 20% equity stake in the firm, while Joe Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, would hold a 10% stake in the venture, Gilliar said.
Gilliar then questioned whether the remaining 10% would be “held by H for the big guy.”
Bobulinski confirmed in a statement Thursday that Gilliar’s email was authentic and that the reference to the “big guy” in the message was “in fact a reference to Joe Biden.”
Gilliar told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday that he was “unaware of any involvement at anytime of the former Vice President” during his discussions in 2017 surrounding Oneida and CEFC.
Gilliar did not respond to the Journal when asked about his reference to the “big guy” in his May 13 email.
The proposed equity distribution for Oneida had changed by May 16, according to a document in the Bobulinski trove. The document indicated that Jim Biden’s proposed stake in the firm had doubled from 10% to 20%, with Hunter Biden, Gilliar, Walker and Bobulinski each holding 20% as well. Joe Biden’s name is not present in the May 16 document.

Text messages from the Bobulinski document trove, dated between May 17 and May 20 of 2017, show that Bobulinski expressed deep dissatisfaction that Hunter and Jim Biden would hold a combined 40% equity stake in Oneida.
On May 17, Hunter sent a text to Bobulinski amid the dispute reminding him that CEFC was interested in entering into a joint venture with them because they want “to be partners with the Bidens.”
Bobulinski accused Hunter Biden of bringing his uncle into Oneida so he could have disproportionate decision making power in the firm in a text May 18 to Gilliar.
“H brought in Jim simply to leverage getting more equity for himself and family in the final hour, that is evident,” Bobulinski wrote to Gilliar. “With an equal vote that means walker, H and Jim can do whatever they want w Oneida. I have zero interest in being part of that.”
Bobulinski urged Gilliar to convince Hunter Biden to give one of them “supervotes” in the company. Bobulinski added that it could be damaging for Hunter Biden if it was revealed his family held disproportionate sway over Oneida’s operations.

“When the Wall Street journal peels this back u don’t want it to appear as H/Jim control it,” Bobulinski told Gilliar.
That same day Hunter Biden told Bobulinski in a text: “Just happens that in this instance the only one player holds the trump card and that’s me. May not be fair but it’s the reality because I’m the only one putting an entire family legacy on the line.”
Text messages sent from Hunter Biden to Tony Bobulinski on May 18, 2017. (screenshot)
The following day, May 19, Hunter Biden addressed the ongoing dispute in a text to a group chat between him, Bobulinski, Gilliar and Walker.
“Hey TONY I have an idea,” Hunter Biden wrote. “In light of the fact that we are at an impasse of sorts, and both James’ lawyers and my Chairman gave an emphatic NO- I think we should all meet in Romania on Tuesday next week.”
“We all want you to be a part of this partnership and respect your position that you are risking your most valuable asset /TIME/ and that’s more important than 20% equity no matter what Tom foolery the four of us may be up to,” Hunter Biden wrote.
Text messages sent from Hunter Biden to a Oneida Holdings group chat with Tony Bobulinski, James Gilliar and Rob Walker on May 19, 2017. (screenshot)
Bobulinski responded to Hunter Biden in the group chat, saying he was “not sure which Chairman you are referencing” and that if Hunter Biden was “so worried about your family, you wouldn’t be doing this because as u said, all of your dad’s lawyers and any lawyer would advise you and Jim not to touch this with a 100 foot pole.”
Text messages sent from Tony Bobulinski to an Oneida Holdings group chat with Hunter Biden, James Gilliar and Rob Walker on May 19, 2017. (screenshot)
Walker told Bobulinski in a separate text message the same day that Hunter Biden was referring to his father “when he said his chairman.”
Text exchange between Tony Bobulinski (right) and Rob Walker (left) on May 19, 2017. (screenshot)
The next day, on May 20, Gilliar told Bobulinski in a text message: “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid.”
Bobulinski said “they should be paranoid about things” in a response to Gilliar.
“U need to stress to H, does he want to be the reason or factor that blows up his dad’s campaign, things need to be done right and protective of that fact,” Bobulinski added.
Text exchange between Tony Bobulinski (right) and James Gilliar (left) on May 20, 2017. (screenshot)
The available texts in the Bobulinski trove indicate that by May 21 the dispute had been settled. A text that day shows that Walker provided Bobulinski the name of a shell corporation he wanted his equity in Oneida to be assigned to.
Contained within the Bobulinski trove was a final company agreement for Oneida dated May 22 showing that Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Gilliar, Walker and Bobulinski were each allocated a 20% stake in the firm. Each of the stakeholders owned their piece of Oneida through individual shell companies.
Hunter Biden held his stake in the firm via GK Temujin LLC, and Jim Biden held his via Sino Atlantic Solutions LLC.
Both GK Temujin LLC and Sino Atlantic Solutions LLC were incorporated in Delaware on May 22, 2017.
Also in the Bobulinski trove were founding documents for Jim Biden’s Sino Atlantic Solutions LLC showing he was the sole member of the company.
Jim Biden and Bobulinski did not return requests for comment inquiring about Oneida’s equity structure.

FBI Meeting With Former Biden Family Business Partner Tony Bobulinski, Senator Says

CHUCK ROSSINVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
October 23, 202012:32 PM ET
The FBI is meeting Friday with a businessman who has come forward with a trove of documents related to the Biden family’s involvement in a deal with a Chinese energy company, according to Republican Sen. Ron Johnson.
Johnson said in a statement that lawyers for Tony Bobulinski informed him that the FBI had asked to meet with their client on Friday.
“I appreciate that the FBI has a job to do, I am glad they are finally taking an interest in these concerning financial matters our Committees have been investigating for months,” Johnson said in a statement.
Bobulinski was one of five partners in Oneida Holdings, a shell company formed in May 2017 with Hunter Biden, his uncle James Biden and two other businessmen. The partners intended to use Oneida to facilitate a deal with CEFC, a Chinese energy firm chaired by Ye Jianming, a businessman with ties to the Chinese government.
Bobulinski came forward Wednesday to confirm the authenticity of an email released last week that was found on a laptop purportedly belonging to Biden. He also claimed that the Bidens “aggressively leveraged” their family name to generate business with foreign companies.
The email, dated May 13, 2017 email, lays out details of the Oneida-CEFC partnership.
The document says that Hunter Biden was to receive a 20% equity stake in the partnership, and someone referred to as “the big guy” would hold a 10% share.
Bobulinski says that “the big guy” is Joe Biden. His comments could undercut two claims pushed by the Biden campaign and Democrats.
Joe Biden has denied that he was involved in his son’s business dealings. Bobulinski says that documents in his possession contradict that claim.
Bobulinski’s verification of the May 13, 2017 email also undermines Biden allies’ assertion that documents purported to be from Hunter Biden’s laptop are part of a Russian disinformation campaign. The New York Post has published several emails from a laptop that Biden allegedly left at a computer repair shop in April 2019.
Bobulinski is providing the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which is chaired by Johnson, with a trove of emails, text messages and business contracts related to the Oneida-CEFC deal.
The Daily Caller News Foundation has obtained the records.
According to one text message, Hunter Biden set up a meeting with his father and Bobulinski on May 2, 2017 to discuss the deal with the Chinese business company.
The deal involving Oneida Holdings and CEFC does not appear to have materialized. But Hunter and James Biden did end up doing business with the company a few months after the Oneida deal fell apart.
A report released by Johnson’s committee on Sept. 23 shows that companies affiliated with CEFC wired $5 million to a shell company in September 2017 that in turn wired $4.8 million to Hunter Biden’s law firm.
The report also said that Hunter Biden and an associate of Ye applied for a $100,000 line of credit through a shell company called Hudson West III. The report says that Hunter Biden, James Biden and James’ wife Sara maxed out the line of credit on airplane tickets, restaurants and hotels.
The FBI did not respond to a request for comment.

Jaw-Dropping Report Details Chinese State-Owned Company's Partnership With Biden, Kerry Families
By Jennifer Van Laar | Oct 23, 2020 6:30 AM ET
A nearly 60-page intelligence report dated October 2 and provided to RedState late Wednesday details the relationship between multiple Chinese State-Owned Entities (SOE’s) and companies owned by Hunter Biden, Chris Heinz (stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry), Devon Archer, James Bulger, and suspected Chinese intelligence asset Michael Lin. Despite what Hunter Biden’s attorney claimed in 2019, Hunter started traveling to China shortly before the Big Guy became Vice President and signed contracts with SOE’s while the Big Guy was Vice President.
According to Christopher Balding, Associate Professor at Peking University HSBC School of Business Shenzhen – who notes that he did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016 and will not be voting for him this year – who reviewed the report before publication:
According to the report Hunter Biden made incredible profits for essentially doing nothing, including a tidy sum off of a copper mine in the Congo and another healthy bundle for allowing the Bank of China to allocate its share of an IPO in Hong Kong to his venture capital firm, BHR. So he’s either the world’s savviest investor or there are some shenanigans/influence-peddling going on.
These activities were directed by people at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party, according to the report.
Balding, an American who lived in China for nine years, says of the report’s veracity:
Among the other revelations in the report:
- The state-owned Bank of China, through subsidiary companies, is the majority owner of Hunter Biden’s venture capital firm, BHR
- Hunter Biden still owns a 10% share of BHR, (conservatively) estimated value $50 million
- Hunter Biden served on the board of Heinz and Archer’s Rosemont Realty, a large US-based commercial real estate firm that was then sold to a Chinese company
- A Chinese company affiliated with Hunter Biden acquired electric vehicle technology and assets from two US companies that were in bankruptcy and which had defaulted on government-backed loans
- Joe and Hunter Biden’s December 2013 trip to China overlapped then-Ukrainian President and Joe Biden ally Viktor Yanukovych’s trip
- BHR partnered with AVIC, an aerospace and defense SOE (yes, the Chinese military), to purchase US automotive supplier Henniges Automotive in 2016
- Suspected Chinese intelligence asset – and Hunter Biden business partner and frequent travel partner – Michael Lin had official meetings with Joe Biden while he was Vice President
The entire report can be read here.

Commentary: The Biden Family Scandal Is Monumental; It’s the October Surprise Joe Biden Just Wants to Go Away
October 23, 2020 Admin
by Julie Strauss Levin
Let’s get right to the bottom line: Recent news raises serious questions as to whether Joe Biden broke the public’s trust, exploited his position as a public official, and financially enriched the Biden family significantly from foreign business partners in China, the Ukraine, and Russia.
Before we jump into what we now know, how about a little refresher on Biden’s statement last September to Fox’s Peter Doocy when he asked of Biden, “how many times have you spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?” Biden’s indignant response? “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.” Wow. Seems Joe didn’t get the memo, “never say never” because, in fact, Biden well knew about his son Hunter’s business dealings. Indeed, it seems Papa Biden wasn’t wading, he was actually knee deep, in Hunter’s business affairs and also may have had some of his own going on.
Fast forward from last September to weeks ago when we learned the following:
Last year, Hunter Biden dropped off his laptop at a computer repair shop in Delaware, signed a receipt (appears to be the same signature Hunter used in his paternity suit papers). He failed to retrieve the laptop, and the repair shop owner turned the laptop over to the FBI. The FBI confirmed the emails are Hunter’s, and Hunter’s attorney later asked for the laptop. Joe Biden himself has failed to unequivocally deny that the emails belong to his son. Well then, as we say in the law, res ipsa loquitur, the thing speaks for itself.
Of course, the media and Big Tech immediately censored this story because they want Biden to win the election. They also believe they are in charge. Their Soviet-style tactics to censor this scandal reinforces the need to expose the Biden family activities. And in the typical Biden style of “the best defense is an offense,” the one reporter who had the guts (or gall) to ask Biden about the subject was met with the following, “I have no response. It’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.”
Thank goodness there are real journalists like Peter Schweizer, John Solomon and others who are diligently doing the investigative work the Democrat party media simply refuses to do.
How insulting (and pathetic) that the man who wants to be the next President of the United States, the leader of the free world, is taking cover and doesn’t think he has an obligation to answer serious questions the American people have about this scandal. And an obligation he does indeed have. So, here are just a few questions because as every day passes, more scandalous information is being revealed and it’s a bit challenging to keep up with the explosive developments.
Joe, the FBI has Hunter’s laptop with 40,000 emails on it. Some of the emails describe your son’s activities in China, Russia, and the Ukraine where he made millions of dollars from various business deals. You’re referenced in some emails about assisting him in meetings and there’s even one referring to you as “the big guy” who will get ten percent of a business deal worth millions.
Another email mentions you being involved in a meeting with Burisma executives, the same Burisma that paid your son $83,000 a month to sit on its Board. Perhaps the following April 17, 2015 email of gratitude from Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi to your son will refresh your recollection. “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.” And then there was an earlier May 2014 Pozharskyi email seeking Hunter’s “advice on how you [Hunter] could use your influence” on behalf of Burisma.
The American people are very concerned that as a public official you and your family misused your office for financial and other personal enrichment. Joe, we need you to explain to the American people what has been going on with your son’s business deals and how the Biden family profited from them.
And, Joe, what about the email dating back to 2011 that shows that your son provided access to the White House to a group called the China Entrepreneur Club that included Chinese billionaires and Chinese Communist Party loyalists and that you met with them, too. Explain why it was okay for your son to give them access especially since your son was doing business in China.
Joe, speaking of China, your son Hunter accompanied you to China on Air Force Two in 2013. You met with your son’s Chinese partners, and ten days later, your son’s company signed a deal with the Bank of China and created a $1 billion investment fund.
You need to explain this to the public rather than simply dismiss this and pretend it is a smear. It is fact.
And yesterday, Joe, we learned about another bombshell email that is quite damning about the Biden family, to say the least. Specifically, whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, who was CEO of SinoHawk Holdings, an entity run by Biden family members in partnership with CEFC Energy, a Chinese energy company now defunct and bankrupt, spoke about a 2017 email that reveals the offer by the Chinese company to wire $10 million into an account, $5 million of which was a loan to “BD family … interest-free.” The “BD family” refers to the Biden family. Less than two weeks later, $5 million was wired from China to a Delaware LLC.
Earlier, Mr. Bobulinski said he had heard you say that you had never spoken to Hunter about his business. Mr. Bobulinski corrected that, Joe, saying, “I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business. They said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”
And then yesterday evening Mr. Bobulinski revealed in a press conference that when discussing business, you were referred to as the “Chairman” or the “Big Guy,” and that you, Joe, were not to be mentioned in writing. The Bidens, Mr. Bobulinski said, were “paranoid” about keeping your name secret. Joe, according to Mr. Bobulinski, these were not Hunter Biden business deals. These were Biden family deals. The American people need you to come clean and explain this Biden family deal.
Joe, we have yet another question about your ethical responsibilities: Why didn’t you tell your son Hunter that because you were Vice President, he had to be very careful and take extra precautions to never, ever engage in any business with any foreign governments, foreign entities or otherwise do anything else that would have even the appearance of impropriety because that would compromise the office of the Vice Presidency and pose a huge national security risk to the United States of America? Why is it that you never said that to Hunter?
These questions only skim the surface about whether Joe Biden and others in the Biden family engaged in corruption. Indeed, this is clearly a scandal of huge proportions which, if true, involve potential violations of multiple laws, such as money laundering, tax evasion, failure to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), and who knows what else. Only time will tell, but we don’t have a lot of time with the election looming in less than two weeks.
Joe, his family, and the entire Democrat world want this to just go away. They’re counting on winning and then they surely will make it go away. But Joe Biden has the obligation to level with the American people, and we have the right to know the truth and know it now.

Schumer Urges FBI Director To Ignore Growing Biden Scandal, Warns Investigation Could 'Undermine the Rule of Law'
Schumer Now Leaning on FBI Director, Trying To Smother Investigation Into Biden
Published October 23, 2020 at 8:18am
The biggest October surprise of the 2020 elections came in the form of a laptop, reportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, discovered in a Delaware computer repair shop.
The device, and its damning contents, have grown into a campaign-killing scandal for Hunter’s father, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Information discovered on the laptop hints that the Bidens were allegedly involved in international business schemes that saw unfair payments and deals secured thanks to the power of the elder Biden’s position as the former vice president.
Seeing the potential for even more abuse if the Biden was to win the White House, some politicians worked to confirm the bombshell discoveries.
After a thorough review by his staff, Rep. Jim Jordan claims to have independently verified the contents of the laptop.
“Our staff has had numerous conversations,” Jordan said Tuesday, “which have independently confirmed for us that in fact these emails are real, they’re authentic.”
Unfortunately, not everyone in Washington, D.C., is itching to get to the bottom of this case.
Some, like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, are actively working to suppress an investigation into the laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
“We write regarding press reports concerning materials allegedly describing activities by Hunter Biden, and found on a laptop at a Delaware repair shop,” the New York Democrat and fellow Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon wrote to FBI Director Christopher Ray.
Completing this poll entitles you to The Western Journal news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and
“We are deeply concerned,” the Thursday letter continues, “about the possibility that in response to these reports the Trump Administration will take actions before Election Day that would seek to damage the Democratic presidential candidate and undermine the rule of law.”
The letter urges Wray “to resist pressure from President Trump and other partisan actors to take any actions intended to benefit President Trump politically on the eve of the election. Succumbing to such pressure would deeply undermine our national security interests and the credibility of law enforcement, and could have devastating consequences for the resiliency of our democracy.”
It’s unclear how Schumer thinks an investigation into a credible accusation of wrongdoing would undermine the rule of law.
Just to be clear, the campaign of President Donald Trump doesn’t need to do anything with the laptop scandal — data found on the device is damning enough already.
With the data cache’s credibility continuing to grow, Biden and Democrats are facing even more pressure as Hunter Biden’s former business associates flip on the family.
Emails provided by one former associate appear to confirm that the junior Biden traded on his father’s influence and position.
The day before the final presidential debate between Joe Biden and Trump, another former associate stepped forward and further backed up the alleged shady practices of the Biden family.
While Schumer’s long-shot attempt to keep the contents of the laptop under wraps and away from the American people looks like it’s doomed to fail, it hints at what the lawmaker really thinks of the American voters’ right to know their candidates.
For the FBI, failing to investigate the alleged laptop of Hunter Biden would be a travesty of justice, and would virtually confirm to the public that the federal law enforcement agency is biased beyond hope.

Biden Claims Son Never Profited From China Deals; Records Say Otherwise
Joe Biden during the presidential debate on Thursday denied that his son Hunter Biden profited from business deals with China, a claim that conflicts with financial documents, assessments of Chinese corporate records, and banking information released by Senate investigators.

Biden Claims Son Never Profited From China Deals; Records Say Otherwise
Alana Goodman - OCTOBER 22, 2020 11:50 PM
Joe Biden during the presidential debate on Thursday denied that his son Hunter Biden profited from business deals with China, a claim that conflicts with financial documents, assessments of Chinese corporate records, and banking information released by Senate investigators.
"My son [Hunter] has not made money in terms of this thing about—what are you talking about, China," Biden said. "I have not had, the only guy that made money from China is this guy [President Donald Trump]. He's the only one. Nobody else has made money from China."
Biden’s claims contradict corporate records and other documents indicating that his son Hunter Biden has received between several hundred thousand dollars and up to millions of dollars from China-based investments and ventures in the years during and after Joe Biden’s vice presidential tenure.
Hunter Biden currently owns a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners, a Chinese private equity firm that is co-owned by the Bank of China, a state-controlled commercial bank, according to corporate records.
The investment firm is believed to oversee as much as $6.5 billion in investments, according to LinkedIn statements from one of the firm’s alleged co-founders, Michael Lin.
Hunter Biden also acknowledged in an interview with the New Yorker last July that he received a 2.8-carat diamond, from Ye Jianming, the then-head of state-connected Chinese energy company CEFC China Energy, in 2017. Ye, a well-connected businessman, vanished in China in 2018, after one of his top employees pleaded guilty in a U.S. bribery case.
Corporate banking records reviewed by the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee earlier this year indicate that Hunter Biden’s legal firm, Owasco PC, received financial wires from a subsidiary of Ye’s company called CEFC China Energy in 2017.
"On Aug. 4, 2017, CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US) LLC, a subsidiary of Ye Jianming’s CEFC China Energy Company that listed Gongwen Dong as its director, sent Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco, a payment for $100,000," said the committee, in a report detailing the transactions earlier this month.
Hunter Biden, who is an attorney, was also retained by Patrick Ho, a U.S.-based CEFC official who pleaded guilty in U.S. court in 2018 to money laundering and bribing officials in Africa in order to obtain business contracts.
According to banking records obtained by the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, a $1 million payment was sent through a third party company to Hunter Biden on March 22, 2018, with a memo line describing it as payment for "Dr Patrick Ho Chi Ping Representation."
Hunter Biden has acknowledged doing legal work for Patrick Ho in the bribery case. He was not named as an active attorney on public court records filed during the trial.

Report: Kamala Harris Listed as ‘Key Contact’ for Biden Family Business Venture in China

JOEL B. POLLAK22 Oct 202010,578
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was reportedly listed as one of several “key domestic contacts” for a Chinese business venture proposed in 2017 by Hunter Biden and James Biden, the son and brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, respectively.
Fox News reported Thursday morning:
Last week, the New York Post revealed Hunter Biden’s venture in China, citing emails in which he said that a deal could be “interesting for me and my family” and that 10% of the equity in a new firm would be “held … for the big guy.”
On Wednesday evening, Breitbart News reported that one of the recipients of Hunter Biden’s emails, Tony Bobulinski, confirmed that “the big guy” was a reference to Joe Biden himself.
Bobulinski also said in a statement to the press: “I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”
Breitbart contributor Peter Schweizer noted recently in his book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite that Biden’s relatives often traded on his name to make money abroad:
Though Biden has tried to dismiss recent stories about Hunter Biden’s emails as a “smear” campaign, no one has yet disputed the authenticity of the emails released by the Post, Breitbart News, Fox News, and others.

BREAKING: Chinese Reporters Shocked After Hunter Biden Went to Beijing, Secretly Met with CCP Spy and Asked for Mansion and Women
by Steven Ahle
While he was in China with the Big Guy, Hunter Biden met with a Chinese spy.
The first words out of his mouth was “I am so poor. How can I get money? I need money. I wanted a house but it costs 100-200 million dollars.” He then asked the spy if he could introduce him to some hot girls. I guess he is a pervert in several different languages.
Che Feng met with Hunter Biden in the Pangu Hotel. Che is a spy for the government’s CCP. He would later say he was shocked at how easy it was to compromise Hunter. He just found out what many other countries already knew. If you want to buy a Biden all you have to do is ask. Hunter ended up settling for the equivalent of $150,000. I wonder what they wanted in return.
Gnews.org reports that Hunter Biden engaged in illicit actions in Beijing with the CCP. Reporters in Asia discussed Hunter Biden’s actions in Beijing.
When Hunter Biden went with Joe for the first time [to Beijing] guess who they met with? He met with Che Feng in Pangu Hotel. Che Feng went to meet with Hunter with assigned task which was to befriend Hunter. To Che’s total surprise, the first word Hunter said when he sat down was, “I am so poor. How can I get money? I need money. I wanted a house but it costs 100-200 million dollars.”
Something like this. Hunter also told Che that he was interested in hot girls and asked if Che could introduce some to him. In the end, just that cost over 1 million RMB (150,000USD Equivalent). Che Feng later recalled that he was very surprised by how easy it was to compromise Hunter.

Jill Biden Brushes Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal, Says: ‘The American People Don’t Want To Hear’ About It

October 22, 2020
Dr. Jill Biden defended her family against an explosive New York Post report that alleges Joe Biden and Hunter Biden used the vice presidency to garner tens of millions in personal wealth.
The report ties the younger Biden to top Ukrainian executives and establishes a pay-for-play connection between Ukrainian company Burisma and the Office of the Vice President; it provides evidence of potential money laundering by the Biden family; alleges Hunter was in possession of sexually explicit photos of underage girls; and, details an incident where Hunter video called a 14-year-old girl while the two were naked.
If true, the report is thunderous and Senate Republicans are calling for an investigation into it.
But, the former second lady told “The View” that “the American people don’t want to know” about its allegations.
As Breitbart reports, co-host Sunny Hostin asked Jill Biden about the allegations, complementing her husband’s resolve during the first presidential debate.
“Dr. Biden, your husband showed remarkable restraint that night when Trump repeatedly attacked your son and disrespected your family. I’ve spent a little bit of time with you, and I know how important your family is to you, and I know how protective you are over them. He continued those attacks at rallies, encouraging the crowd to lock Joe up,” she said. “On Monday, he claimed that there’s some sort of story on the way about a scandal involving your family that will, quote, ‘Make him almost an impotent candidate.’ How do you feel about these constant personal attacks, and how do you respond to them?”
Biden answered: “You know, as a mother, I mean, it really, I don’t like to see my son attacked, and certainly, I don’t like to see my husband attacked, but for me or to me these are distractions. I mean, this election is not about Joe Biden or Jill Biden or Kamala or Doug. It is about the American people. The American people don’t want to hear these smears against my family. The American people are struggling right now.”
“I mean, they’re in the midst of all this chaos they’re trying to figure out how to put food on the table, you know, they don’t have jobs, they need health care.
Americans don’t want to hear this,” she continued. “That’s why I thought Joe did such a great job at the debate because he addressed the issues. He talked directly to the American people and said, this is what I will do as your president, and Donald Trump just ranted. I don’t even know what he was doing up there. So this time, the debate commission has said that they will mute the mics, and they’ll each get their two minutes to speak. So the American people will clearly see their choice.”

IAN HANCHETT24 Oct 202082
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer discussed the foreign business deals of the Biden family and stated that “all of these deals happened while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. … It only happened once he became a central player in American foreign policy.”
Schweizer said, “Not only did Hunter Biden, and in some cases, Joe Biden’s brothers, who also got foreign deals, not have any experience or expertise in these deals that they struck. It’s really stunning, Sean, all of these deals happened while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. They didn’t happen before. They didn’t happen all the other time that Joe Biden was around. It only happened once he became a central player in American foreign policy.”

Schumer sends letter to FBI director to ignore Biden scandal, says investigation could ‘undermine the rule of law’
Posted by: Pat Droney|October 23, 2020 |CategoriesFeatured, Law and Legal, Must Reads, News
WASHINGTON, DC- “Lyin’ Chuck” as President Trump calls him must be getting a little bit nervous.
With all the information coming out about Hunter Biden and his father who is apparently running for an office of some importance, despite the fact the scandal is getting throttled by most of the media, it has gotten some unwanted attention. And Democrats are starting to panic.
Chuck Schumer took it upon himself to write the FBI Director to put the brakes on.
The laptop that was turned in by a Delaware computer repair shop has spawned a lot of information, and none of it is good for the Biden campaign.
Information contained on the computer seems to show that Hunter and his daddy Joe were possibly involved in some international hijinks with countries such as Ukraine and China, mostly as a result of Joe Biden’s position as vice president.
It is unusual for a president to have an impeachment hanging over their head before they are even elected or inaugurated (although truth be told that was the case for President Trump, although with zero credible evidence). With all the information coming about fast and furious, Republicans are working overtime to try to confirm the information.
For example, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has said he had been able to independently verify the contents off the laptop.
“Our staff has had numerous conversations,” Jordan said last Tuesday, “which have independently confirmed for us that in fact these emails are real, they’re authentic.”
Democrats, of course are doing their darndest to bury the information, at least until after November 3.
That brings us to the Senate minority leader. Schumer is doing his best to suppress the investigation into the laptop which belongs to Hunter Biden.
“We write regarding press reports concerning materials allegedly describing activities by Hunter Biden, and found on a laptop at a Delaware repair shop,” Schumer, along with fellow Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), wrote in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
“We are deeply concerned,” the letter said, “about the possibility that in response to these reports the Trump Administration will take actions before Election Day that would seek to damage the Democratic presidential candidate and undermine the rule of law.”
Not sure exactly what law they are accusing the Trump administration of “undermining,” but clearly, they are trying to get the FBI to hold off investigating the Biden’s until after the election, where if Biden were elected and the House stays in Democratic hands, any impeachment inquiry would be moot.
The letter continues, urging the FBI Director “to resist pressure from President Trump and other partisan actors to take any actions intended to benefit President Trump politically on the eve of the election.
Succumbing to such pressure would deeply undermine our national security interests and the credibility of law enforcement, and could have devastating consequences for the resiliency of our democracy.”
The statement of the two senators would be almost funny if it were not so absurdly ridiculous. For Schumer, who pushed a Russian collusion narrative based on a widely recognized fake dossier by a failed British spy. Who even after information came forth that the whole Russia collusion narrative was based on the fake dossier still claimed President Trump colluded with Russia. How is Schumer to be taken seriously?
There is far more credible information that at least serves as a basis for an investigation contained within the laptop, that nobody from the Biden campaign has denied belongs to Hunter Biden.
The only thing that has been said is that the seizure of the laptop and subsequent surrendering of it to the FBI is part of some Russian disinformation scheme. This is of course absurd.
It is not stated how or why Schumer and Wyden believe that such an investigation into credible information would undermine the rule of law. But that of course does not matter to Democrats.
While President Trump, his campaign, and Congressional Republicans have seized upon the information contained in the laptop, as well as information gained from a former business associate of Hunter Biden, in order to suggest wrongdoing by the Biden’s, they really do not have to do anything with the scandal. The information on the laptop, including emails, photographs, and videos, speaks for itself.
For example, some of the emails provided by a former business associate of Hunter Biden seemed to confirm that he used the power and influence of his father for nefarious purposes.
In fact, one of Biden’s former business associates, as Law Enforcement Today reported earlier, has been moved from his cell in a federal detention facility in Oregon, ostensibly out of safety concerns.
Yet another business associate stepped forward the day before the most recent presidential debate and confirmed the slimy business practices of the Biden family, including the vice president’s brother.
Clearly, Democrats are desperate to kick this scandal down the road until after Biden is elected. One could imagine a scenario where, if Biden were elected president, he steps down prior to his inauguration and Kamala Harris, the real presidential candidate steps up as the president.
Given Biden’s cognitive decline, he could easily claim he’s resigning for medical reasons. That would save Democrats the embarrassment of an impeachment attempt less than one-year after they pulled the same stunt on President Trump.
More so, what Schumer and Wyden’s letter shows is an utter contempt for the American people. By trying to kick the can down the road until after the election, Schumer and Wyden are complicit in an attempted cover-up not seen in Washington since 1972 and the Watergate scandal.
In that case, much like Biden’s, then-President Nixon was able to delay and obstruct the investigation until after the election in 1972. Less than two years later, Nixon was forced to resign when the wheels started coming off.
Schumer, Wyden and the Democrats are trying to play the same hand that Nixon played in 1972, hoping they can delay it long enough for Biden to possibly get elected.
The FBI as an organization, not the overwhelming number of superb agents who work for the agency, has had its reputation tarnished by people such as James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page for their complicity in trying to take out President Trump.
If the FBI kicks this investigation down the road under Christopher Wray, confidence in that organization may never return.

Biden finally breaks silence on son Hunter's laptop
"Last-ditch effort in this desperate campaign to smear me ... ," Biden said.
By Joseph CUpdated: October 21, 2020 - 1:19pm
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has steadfastly refused to talk about reports concerning his son Hunter's laptop, which allegedly contains emails that detail his businesses dealings with energy company in Ukraine and China.
But the former vice president finally broke his silence while doing an interview from his Delaware home with a Wisconsin TV station.
Biden blasted a Republican senator who is using a Senate committee he chairs to probe Hunter Biden and ripped President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani for peddling "garbage."
"This is the same garbage – Rudy Giuliani Trump's henchmen. It's a last-ditch effort in this desperate campaign to smear me and my family," Biden said on WISN.
Reporter Adrienne Pedersen said to Biden: "Wisconsin's Republican Senator Ron Johnson put out a statement – on Homeland Security letterhead – saying Hunter Biden, together with other Biden family members, profited off the Biden name." She asked Biden if there was any "legitimacy" to the claims.
"None whatsoever!" Biden said emphatically.
Biden said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) has criticized Johnson's move.
"Even the man who served with him on that committee, the former nominee for the Republican Party, said there's no basis to this," Biden said. "And the vast majority of the intelligence people have come out and said there's no basis at all. Ron should be ashamed of himself!"
On Monday, there were two big developments in the last 24 hours. First, Fox News got a hold of a receipt from the laptop repair shop that allegedly shows the name and signature of Hunter Biden, whose father, Joe Biden, is the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee and a former vice president.
"Documents appear to show Hunter Biden's signature on a receipt for $85 at a Delaware computer shop where he dropped off laptops that included details of his international business deals," The Daily Mail reported.
And second, a spokesman for the Biden campaign said nobody on the campaign is claiming the emails reportedly on the laptop are "inauthentic."
Last week, the New York Post published emails that appear to show that Hunter Biden in 2015 set up a meeting between an official with the Ukraine energy company Burisma Holdings and his father, who was vice president at the time. The Biden presidential campaign said they had no record of such a meeting, but couldn't rule out an informal meeting.
"One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of 'remuneration packages' for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as 'Chair/ Vice Chair depending on an agreement with CEFC,' in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co," Fox News reported.
The email includes a note that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” A proposed equity split references “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” with no further details, Fox reported.
House Republicans on Monday urged Attorney General William Barr to appoint a special counsel to probe allegations involving Joe Biden's participation in his son Hunter Biden's Ukraine business dealings. And President Trump made a similar request of Barr on Tuesday.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN last week: 'We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin."
But Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Monday that charge is false. "Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign," Ratcliffe told Fox News.

China's Elite-Capture Strategy & The Bidens
Sat, 10/24/2020 - 22:30
Authored by Clive Hamilton and Mareike Ohlberg via The Epoch Times,.
Excerpted from the book: ‘Hidden Hand: Exposing How the Chinese Communist Party Is Reshaping the World’
In 2018 the well-connected Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin pointed out that China had been building networks of influence in the United States over many years, and that the U.S. government “is preparing for the possibility that the Chinese government will decide to weaponize” them to get what it wants. (Although Beijing is not known to use Russian-style “active measures” in the West, deploying them is only a matter of political calculation.)
One of the CCP’s most audacious penetration operations, Chinagate in 1996, saw a top intelligence operative meeting a naive President Clinton in the White House, along with donations to the Clinton campaign made through people with ties to the Chinese military.
Beijing has been working to gain influence in the U.S. Congress since the 1970s. Through the activities of the CCP’s International Liaison Department, and Party-linked bodies like the China Association for International Friendly Contact, China has made some influential friends. Nevertheless, Congress has for the most part remained skeptical of China, although its voice has been muted at times by the influence of “pro-China” members. The president, the White House, the bureaucracy, think tanks, and business lobby groups have all been targeted by Beijing, to good effect.

Until recently, almost all players in Washington D.C. and beyond were convinced by the “peaceful rise of China” trope, and the value of “constructive engagement.” The common belief was that as China developed economically, it would naturally morph into a liberal state. This view was not without foundation, because the more liberal factions within the CCP did struggle with the hardliners, but in the U.S. it reinforced a kind of institutional naivety that was exploited by Beijing. Many of those who stuck to this view even after the evidence pointed firmly to the contrary had a strong personal investment in defending Beijing.
The billionaire businessman and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg was a late entrant in the contest to become the 2020 Democratic Party candidate for U.S. president. He is the most Beijing-friendly of all aspirants.
With extensive investments in China, he opposes the tariff war and often speaks up for the CCP regime.

His media company has suppressed stories critical of CCP leaders, and Bloomberg himself claimed in 2019 that “Xi Jinping is not a dictator” because he has to satisfy his constituency.
The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin argued that “his [Bloomberg’s] misreading of the Chinese government’s character and ambitions could be devastating for U.S. national security and foreign policy. He would be advocating for a naive policy of engagement and wishful thinking that has already been tried and failed.”
In May 2019 Joe Biden distinguished himself from all of the other candidates for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination by ridiculing the idea that China is a strategic threat to the United States. “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” he told a campaign crowd in Iowa City. Biden had for years adopted a soft approach to China. When President Obama’s secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was taking a tougher position towards China’s adventurism in Asia, Vice President Biden was urging caution. Biden had formed a warm personal relationship with Xi Jinping when Xi was vice president and president-in-waiting.

In his second term, Obama replaced Clinton as secretary of state with the more accommodating John Kerry. The dynamics help to explain why Obama’s 2012 “pivot to Asia” was a damp squib. The United States stood back while China annexed islands and features in the South China Sea and built military bases on them, something Xi had promised Obama he would not do. Breaking the promise has given China an enormous strategic advantage.
Joe Biden cleaves to the belief, now abandoned by many China scholars and most Washington politicians, that engagement with China will entice it into being a responsible stakeholder. The University of Pennsylvania’s D.C. think tank—named, for him, the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement—aims to address threats to the liberal international order, yet China is absent from the threats identified on its website: Russia, climate change and terrorism. Biden has spoken about China’s violation of human rights but still clings to the idea of China’s “peaceful rise.”
So does it matter if Joe Biden has a different view of China? It does, because there is evidence that the CCP has been currying his favor by awarding business deals that have enriched his son, Hunter Biden. One account of this is given by Peter Schweizer in his 2019 book “Secret Empires.” Some of his key claims were subsequently challenged and Schweizer refined them in an op-ed in the New York Times (famous for fact-checking). In short, when Vice President Biden travelled to China in December 2013 on an official trip, his son flew with him on Airforce Two. While Biden senior was engaging in soft diplomacy with China’s leaders, Hunter was having other kinds of meetings. Then, “less than two weeks after the trip, Hunter’s firm … which he founded with two other businessmen [including John Kerry’s stepson] in June 2013, finalized a deal to open a fund, BHR Partners, whose largest shareholder is the government-run Bank of China, even though he had scant background in private equity.”
The Bank of China is owned by the state and controlled by the CCP. Hunter Biden’s exact role in the company is disputed, but one expert has said that his share in it would be worth around $20 million.
However, the point here is not the ethics of the Bidens (as the news media have framed it) but the way in which the CCP can influence senior politicians. This “corruption by proxy,” in which top leaders keep their hands clean while their family members exploit their association to make fortunes, has been perfected by the “red aristocracy” in Beijing.

In the crucial years 2014 and 2015, Beijing was aggressively expanding into the South China Sea while Obama, Kerry, and Biden were sitting on their hands...

Must be a VERY busy week at Twitter. They're going to have to get more help.
Fortunate for them that the DNC Biden Campaign will be laying off most of their help on November 3.
They'll have to take a pay cut - it's not China paying. But chances are China will buy more holdings and in time they'll get raises, IF they do their work to China's satisfaction.

Schweizer: Biden Family Deals ‘Only Happened’ When Biden ‘Became a Central Player’ in Foreign Policy
IAN HANCHETT24 Oct 2020935
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer discussed the foreign business deals of the Biden family and stated that “all of these deals happened while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. … It only happened once he became a central player in American foreign policy.”
9:58 min
Schweizer said, “Not only did Hunter Biden, and in some cases, Joe Biden’s brothers, who also got foreign deals, not have any experience or expertise in these deals that they struck. It’s really stunning, Sean, all of these deals happened while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. They didn’t happen before. They didn’t happen all the other time that Joe Biden was around. It only happened once he became a central player in American foreign policy.”

Chinese Group Behind Release of Biden Tapes Claim Bidens Offered Up CIA Agents Who Went Missing in China in 2010 -2012

It really can’t get much worse. Now the individuals who are releasing the Biden tapes and documents claim the Bidens were responsible for offering up CIA agents in China.
As we’ve previously reported, the Chinese government murdered or imprisoned 18-20 CIA sources from 2010 to 2012.
From the Business Insider:
Tonight, the group of individuals in Asia who released a number of Hunter Biden videos and pictures made a very significant claim. At the end of one of their videos, those who released the videos shared the following:
First they claim China takes advantage of Westerners by framing them and taking advantage of them:
The Bidens were targeted by the CCP:
The CCP bribed the Bidens to get what they wanted including the South China Sea which occurred while Obama and Biden were in office:

According to the report, the Bidens provided the identities of large numbers of CIA agents to the CCP as part of their relationship.
This is the first we have heard of this and are currently unable to confirm this but this is a very big deal if corroborated.

Now Corruption Story Is About Joe, Not Hunter
How long can the media blackout continue?

At this hour many news consumers remain trapped behind the Silicon Curtain. Nevertheless word continues to spread about the Biden family business, thanks to an underground publication founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801. The latest story from the New York Post, which shares common ownership with the Journal, comes courtesy of veteran columnist Michael Goodwin. He reports a statement from a Biden business partner who says that Joe Biden was involved in the family influence-peddling racket, including with China.
Mr. Goodwin reports a statement from Tony Bobulinski, a Biden business associate. The statement attributed to Mr. Bobulinski appears to confirm that contrary to his denials, Joe Biden was involved with his son Hunter’s business, and it was not a business in which a future president ought to be involved. The Bobulinski statement published by the Post reads in part:
If it’s true that Joe Biden was accepting influence payments, including from Chinese entities, then he should immediately quit the presidential race. But the press has been largely uninterested in pursuing this story. Today Newsweek’s Jason Lemon made an effort and writes:
The recent media blackout on the Biden family business remains largely intact. The story did get a mention in a weekly newsletter from the public editor at National Public Radio. Beginning around paragraph 16, Kelly McBride addresses a listener’s question:
Ms. McBride then spends a paragraph disparaging the Post and clinging to the hope that the emails are not legitimate before acknowledging:
This column warned yesterday that if the Post reporting continued to hold up, some media folk might quickly pivot from arguing that the revelations were so damning they must be part of a hostile Russian intelligence operation against the United States to arguing that actually the Biden emails aren’t damning at all. Just typical swamp behavior?
This column takes a back seat to no one in skepticism about the Beltway establishment. But given the documented overseas riches collected by the Biden family, it would be patently unfair to claim that the average Washingtonian is as corrupt as the former vice president.

As MSM outlets twist in the wind waiting for anyone to deny the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop contents (while blurry images of M&M's spanning Hunter's penis and crack-smoking footjob videos permeate dark corners of the web), the Washington Post is advising people to just assume that it's a foreign intelligence operation, and ignore Occam's razor, or two former Biden business associates who have gone on record and provided direct evidence.
Holding the Post accountable for their literal propaganda is journalist Glenn Greenwald, who not only shreds WaPo's farcical attempts at journalism - but the rest of the MSM's as well.

Oddly, we don't recall the Post's kneejerk over an unverified anti-Trump dossier created by a British spook, which the FBI referred to as "Crown material," being that it was part of a 'foreign intelligence operation' prior to its investigation and subsequent debunking.
Of course, in the fullness of time it turned out to be a domestic hit-job with significant foreign assistance.
Meanwhile...
And of course, social media platforms' masks are all the way off in terms of suppressing a story which would damage their favored candidate.

Schweizer: Hunter Biden Participated ‘in Chinese Efforts to Acquire Western Technology’
PAM KEY25 Oct 2020210
Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said on Sunday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that the story not getting covered was “about Hunter Biden participating in Chinese efforts to acquire western technology.”
Bartiromo asked, “Let me ask you about [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] and the approval that a foreigner needs in order to do an acquisition in the United States. That’s one of the things that you’ve reported on that these Chinese companies needed, right? They wanted the influence of Joe Biden so that they could get approval to acquire companies.
This is what Donald Trump has been trying to put an end to, China coming into the U.S., buying up Silicon Valley and forcing the transfer of technology, giving the Chinese Communist Party a leg up on American technology.”
Schweizer said, “You’re exactly right, Maria, and this is a big part, I think, of the missed story. This is not just a story about Hunter Biden and the family getting wealthy. It’s about Hunter Biden participating in Chinese efforts to acquire western technology. In particular, for example, there’s a company called Henniges out of Michigan that produces dual-use technologies that they have both military and civilian application, and they are anti-vibration technologies.
Hunter Biden’s Chinese-funded investment firm partnered with AVIC, which is the largest military contractor in China, and they, together, acquired Henniges, this dual-use technology company in Michigan. It has clear military application.”
“That deal had to be approved by CFIUS,” he continued. “We know in the emails we’ve now obtained that they were involved in getting approval meaning Hunter Biden’s firm. We now know that once it was approved, they actually had a celebration of this technology transfer at the U.S. embassy with Chinese executives, with the participation of Hunter Biden’s partners, and it was a celebration and the man that was there Ambassador Max Baucus, former Senator from Montana is a long time Biden family friend. So let’s be clear this is not just about the Biden family becoming wealthy from these foreign partners.
It’s about the Biden family participating in the transfer of U.S. technologies to China and getting paid for participating in that.”

Sen. Ron Johnson: ‘The Vice President Has Been Caught in Repeated Lies over Biden Inc. About His Family’s Businesses’
JEFF POOR25 Oct 2020335
During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, batted down criticisms of his committee’s investigation of alleged wrongdoings of family and associates of former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee.
Johnson accused Biden of lying in his public denials.
“The vice president is lying again,” he said. “Check out page 78 of our report, where we show a company, a Chinese company, CEFC, transferred about $5 million to businesses controlled by Hunter Biden, $5 million. So, no, he’s lying. He’s lying about the fact that he said he never spoke to his son Hunter about his overseas business connections, flew over to China, had a handshake with Jonathan Li, who ended up being a business partner in Bohai Harvest RST, which was that investment firm.”
“We documented Amos Hochstein talked to the vice president about the glaring conflict of interest in Ukraine. The vice president then talked to Hunter to arrange a meeting with Amos Hochstein. So, the vice president has been caught in repeated lies over Biden Inc. about his family’s businesses.”
Johnson also slammed his colleague Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) for claiming he and his committee “spent millions” on their investigation.
“Chris Coons lied about me when he said we have spent millions,” Johnson added. “I haven’t spent a dime, other than my staff salary. This is what we do. We investigate things. It’s just normal Senate salary. We haven’t spent a dime more than just my basic committee budget.”

Joe's Office Allegedly Worked with Hunter to Secure Presidential Appointments for Business Partner, Family Members

Hunter Biden's emails reveal that Hunter Biden allegedly worked with his father to secure presidential appointments in the Obama administration for his business partner and other family members.
The National Pulse reports that Hunter Biden's emails show Hunter worked with his father's chief of staff to secure presidential appointments for Eric Schwerin, Hunter's business partner in a Chinese Communist Party-linked firm. The same Schwerin also frantically emailed Hunter Biden for help taking down a photograph of Joe Biden that ended up on Burisma's website.
After news broke that Eric Schwerin had been appointed to the President's Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, Hunter's cousin asked Hunter if this was "our Eric" and for additional help in securing similar appointments for herself and her mother.
(Via The National Pulse)
Biden's former business partner turned whistleblower, Tony Bobulinski, has also turned over text messages showing that Joe Biden met with Hunter's business associates regarding Chinese legal documents. A few days after that meeting, Hunter Biden sent an email outlining a payment scheme, including "10 held by H[unter] for the big guy."
Bobulinksi recently held a press conference announcing that he was cooperating with Senate Republicans and plans to meet with the FBI to turn over devices containing evidence he says proves Joe Biden was involved in his son's business activities.
"I have firsthand knowledge about this because I directly dealt with the Biden family, including Joe Biden," Bobulinski told the press.
Text messages provided by Bobulinski also show how Hunter allegedly used a shell company to avoid registering as a foreign agent.
The New York Post also reported a smoking gun email showing Hunter Biden introduced his Ukrainian business associates to his father.
Joe Biden worked with his son to sell foreigners access to the White House for millions of dollars. Joe Biden is a corrupt politician who has spent his long career in the D.C. swamp enriching his cronies and protecting their shady activities. Biden needs to be president to try and keep the investigations from moving forward.

‘As Real As Real Can Be’: Jim Jordan Says Hunter Biden Emails ‘Independently Confirmed’
By Tim Pearce
•
Oct 25, 2020 DailyWire.com
•
Emails from Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop detailing his business dealings with foreign entities and other matters are authentic, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said earlier this week.
Jordan doubled-down on his assertion during a Sunday appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo. Jordan also accused the media of largely ignoring the implications of Hunter Biden’s alleged emails for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
“Maria, they’re as real as real can be. We have the eye-witness [Tony Bobulinski] who said these are authentic, these are real. The ‘big guy’ in one of these emails does in fact mean Joe Biden, and he himself had spoke to former Vice President Biden. So, this is as real as it gets,” Jordan said. “And here’s the fundamental question: why won’t Joe Biden say they’re not real? If they’re not accurate, if these aren’t accurate emails, why won’t the Biden’s say so?”
Jordan then slammed the media for not pressing the elder Biden on questions surrounding the limits of his involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings. The contents of Hunter Biden’s alleged emails have been reported by select outlets, largely right-of-center. Some outlets such as NPR have refused to print the contents of the emails, alleging that they are likely part of a misinformation campaign.
“Frankly, why won’t the press ask him that fundamental question, that basic question: ‘Mr. Biden, are these actually accurate? Is this Hunter Biden’s laptop? And, in fact, are you the big guy?’ They won’t ask him that question, but the American people know those facts are true,” Jordan said.

On Tuesday, Jordan said that his staff on the House Judiciary Committee had “independently confirmed” the authenticity of the emails, according to Breitbart News. Jordan made the announcement on a Trump campaign call with reporters.
“Our staff has had numerous conversations … which have independently confirmed for us that in fact these emails are real, they’re authentic,” Jordan said. “We’re confident that that is in fact the case, and that these emails are accurate.”
“Hunter Biden cashed in, Joe Biden is compromised, and of course the former vice president misled the American people when he said he had no knowledge, no understanding of what his son was up to in his international business dealings,” he added.
Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, accused Joe Biden of lying about not having any involvement in Hunter’s foreign business dealings on Thursday morning in a statement to the New York Post. In reference to one email detailing a split equity agreement for a potential business venture with a Chinese energy CEO, Bobulinski said:
Joe Biden has denied Bobulinski’s allegations.
