How Long Can Biden’s Corruption be Overlooked?

Joe Biden won’t be running for re-election, but the corruption he engaged in cannot be overlooked. While he will not longer be in office, those who hid his misdeeds, (and, of course, his mental incapacity) including his vice-president who does seek to gain the highest office in the land, may be.

The House Oversight Committee has abundant and clear evidence, including both video and bank records information, disclosing how Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered China money from the account of his brother, James Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check.

According to House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.)    “ …Remember when Joe Biden told the American people that his son didn’t make money in China? Well, not only did he lie about his son Hunter making money in China, but it also turns out that $40,000 in laundered China money landed in Joe Biden’s bank account in the form of a personal check. And the Oversight Committee has it.

“Here’s how Joe Biden benefited from his family’s shady deal with CEFC, a Chinese Communist Party linked company. It all began with a shakedown in the summer of 2017, when Hunter Biden sent a message to his CEFC associate demanding a $10 million capital payment. As Hunter Biden extorted this associate, Hunter claimed he was sitting with his father and that the Biden network would turn on his associate if he didn’t pony up the money. The extortion scheme worked. Days later, $5,000,000 flowed in from a Chinese affiliate of CEFC. Over the following three weeks, Biden family members made a series of complicated financial transactions to hide the source of the China money.

“Here’s how that happened: First, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company associated with CEFC, wired $5,000,000 to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and a CEFC associate. Then, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. Next, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by Joe Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara Biden. Sara Biden then withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group. Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden’s personal checking account. A few days later, Sara Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000. The memo line of the check said, ‘loan repayment.’”

Corruption involving influence peddling is deadly serious no matter who is buying access, be it a government contractor or a foreign nation.  But China is America’s most powerful adversary. If you examine Biden’s numerous actions benefitting that country, including reducing anti-espionage efforts, allowing surveillance ballons to cross the nation unmolested, looking the other way as military-age Chinese citizens enter the nation, not deterring Beijing’s purchase of land near sensitive military installations, and turning a virtual blind eye to China’s growing presence in Cuba and elsewhere in Latin America,  a very deeply troubling picture emerges.

China is a clear and growing military threat, and it now has the world’s largest army, navy, and soon, air force. Hower, by the end of Biden’s term in the White House, the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force will be smaller than when he took the oath of office.

Much of Biden’s “green” policies have directly benefitted China.

Writing for Foreign Policy, Danielle Pletka reported that there is “a pointed effort to romance Chinese officials at the highest levels…As evidence of this reset, look to the Biden administration’s recent rhetorical shift away from using the Trump-era buzzword of “decoupling” the U.S. economy from China to instead focusing on “de-risking” U.S. supply chains; growing pressure on the Pentagon to keep its views on the China threat to itself; and the campaign to paint as extreme the U.S. House of Representatives’ new Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party…”

Of course, as the presidential election draws near, the Biden-Harris Administration talked tough and imposed sanctions on China.  There is little evidence that the effort will last after election day in a potential Harris White House.
