Joe Biden’s Fingerprints All Over Hunter’s Schemes – Joe Biden epitomizes everything that is wrong with America’s political class.
A low-brow, gladhanding—and creepily neck massaging—politico who spent his entire career climbing the ladder and greasing the skids to ascend to the top of the upside-down kingdom.
He’s got a blistering white smile, bushy hair plugs, he speaks in nonsensical bromides, but he’s as corrupt as one of the villainous mayors of The Batman comic books.
Point in fact, Joe Biden is the kind of politician that prompted gonzo billionaire, Donald J. Trump, to run for president in the first place—which is exactly what Trump said to Biden during one of their more contentious debates in 2020.
So, we can thank Joe Biden (as well as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama) for giving us the “very stable genius.”
Things Are Not What They Seem
Appearing as a kindly, old grandfather out to make America normal again (as in subpar, as it was under Biden’s old boss, President Barack Obama), Biden can only maintain the façade so far. Not only is he not a nice man, but Biden is probably mentally unfit.
Because, on a policy level, Biden is quite extreme.
The forty-sixth president sees absolutely nothing wrong, for example, with distributing sexually explicit or historically inaccurate, racialist books to children as young as eight. It’s not really because Joe Biden believes in these things.
It’s because major Democratic Party donors—such as the Pritzker Family—give campaign contributions to Biden and his party to support these things.
Most Americans, regardless of party, believe this is an extreme, out-of-the-ordinary social policy. Yet, Biden persists. And he gets mean with anyone who dares to question these “educational” programs.
It isn’t only parents in my local school district in Southwest Florida who are opposed to these policies (and thankfully we’ve got a governor who successfully resisted the federal overreach under Biden).
Parents in my old home of very blue Northern Virginia are resisting Biden’s social and educational policies for their children, too. Hence, the reason for the jaunty ascot-wearing, highly conservative Glenn Youngkin, winning the Virginia governor’s race three years ago.
Rumors and accusations of corruption have swirled around the Biden Family for years. When I worked on the Hill, there was an almost unsaid, all-knowing smirk that would befall the faces of staffers who’d worked there since when Joe Biden was a senator.
Everyone suspected that the Bidens, like so many politicians up there, was on-the-take. I lived and worked up there long enough to see how nearly impossible it was to prevent the green slime from getting on you.
Since running for the highest office in the land, what was once rumor has become increasingly more factual. The House Republicans have doggedly pursued the accusations of financial impropriety against the Biden Family by pulling on the only thread available to them: the First Son, Hunter Biden.
And with each tug on that thread, something more awful than the last revelation about Hunter’s corruption is revealed.
But it goes so much deeper than just a bent politicians’ son going off-the-reservation.
A Complex Web of Corruption
The Republicans believe that Hunter Biden is the public face of a much deeper, more complex operation—a family business, if you will—of possibly illicit international influence peddling schemes. Far from being the architect of these schemes, though, the GOP suspects that both James Biden, the president’s brother, as well as the president himself are the masterminds of this generational practice of global grift.
Now, Joe Biden’s rivals are girdling in around the Bidens. The drip-drop of evidence showing that the forty-sixth president is knee-deep in the global influence-peddling scheme is leaking out, despite the Democratic Party’s best efforts.
Lefty commentators in the press become apoplectic and haughty the more information comes out, unsure of how to respond to the news, convinced that enough shameless arrogance and projection will prevent the truth from coming out.
And, with the assistance of powerful elements within the Administrative State (which Biden nominally controls), they have effectively slowed the GOP investigation down—but only to a point.
In the last week, the House Oversight Committee has heard incredible testimony from two senior IRS officials, Gregory Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who were investigating Hunter Biden’s various alleged tax-related crimes going back years.
At the penultimate moment in their investigation, as they were readying to recommend charges to the Department of Justice (DOJ), prosecutors slow-walked their investigation.
According to the IRS whistleblowers, the FBI defied multiple standard operating procedures, all to protect the man who had just been elected as the forty-sixth president of the United States, Joe Biden.
We now know from the House GOP-led investigation that there were a series of WhatsApp text messages between Hunter Biden and the chairman of a Chinese Communist Party-controlled energy consortium in 2017 in which Hunter Biden overtly threatened the high-ranking CCP member with reprisals from his father—who Hunter claimed was seated beside him and was aware of the tense conversation occurring. Joe Biden has denied his involvement in this exchange.
The implication was that, if the CCP did not follow through on payments to Hunter Biden’s firm, his powerful father would somehow, at a later date, punish them.
Ten Percent for the “Big Guy”
Since 2020, the world has known about former Hunter Biden business associate, Tony Bobulinksi, who continues insisting that he was aware of a convoluted systems for paying Joe Biden.
Basically, Hunter would go abroad with his hat-in-hand, soliciting massive payments from foreign governments—notably China’s and Ukraine’s governments—in exchange for access to his high-ranking father.
Once paid, Hunter Biden would keep a chunk of the money for himself and then divvy up the rest of the funds to his family…leaving “ten percent for the Big Guy.”
In this case, Bobulinski insists the “big guy” was none other than Joe Biden.
This financial relationship would have undoubtedly been discovered by the forensic accountants (the best in the world) employed by the IRS who were part of Shapley and Ziegler’s tax investigation into Hunter Biden—had not the DOJ cut their investigation off at the knees.
The only explanation for the standard operating procedure-loving DOJ and FBI to defy their SOPs would have been to prevent the truth about Hunter Biden’s financial linkages to his father from being publicly revealed.
That, in turn, would have severely damaged Joe Biden’s political prospects.
And that could not have been allowed because Joe Biden represented a group of powerful, interlocked interests who all stood to lose from another Trump term in office.
This was evidenced by the fact that senior intelligence community leaders (many of them retired) put their reputations and access on the line to sign a letter that was written by the Biden Campaign in 2020 giving credence to Biden’s claim that the accusations about his wayward son were little more than “Russian disinformation.”
Protecting the Corrupt Prince
These mostly retired senior intelligence officials put their name to a document they knew was fundamentally flawed (of course, in that industry one never truly retires). They did this simply because they disliked Trump and knew their agencies—to which they remain loyal to—would be better served by a Biden presidency (in terms of lack of oversight).
Meanwhile, another spate of alleged recorded messages has been disseminated to the House Oversight Committee. This time, pertaining to Hunter Biden’s alleged misdeeds while serving as a natural gas consultant for the Ukrainian energy firm, Burisma. In these messages, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, told the FBI in 2016 that, “It costs $5 million pay one Biden, [and another $5 million] to pay another Biden.”
Like Bobulinski’s claims to former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson in 2020, the messages that Zlochevsky sent to the Bidens over the last decade made repeated references to “the Big Guy.” Zlochevsky is on the record as explaining that he always believed, like Bobulinski did, that “the Big Guy” was a reference to Joe Biden.
In fact, Zlochevsky was at the epicenter of a Ukrainian investigation into charges of corruption at Burisma involving himself and Hunter Biden. Zlochevsky addressed the Ukrainian prosecution into Burisma in 2016 by assuring his colleagues that, “Don’t worry Hunter Biden [will take care of these problems for us] through his dad.”
And wouldn’t you know it? While still vice-president, Joe Biden put the squeeze on Kiev’s government to drop the investigation into Burisma—and Ukraine’s government complied!
Republicans are close. They need to keep pressing their investigation. There is a financial connection between Hunter Biden and his father. That’s what the DOJ and their FBI pit bulls have been trying to cover-up for years.
The GOP, if they keep investigating, will get to the bottom of this sordid web of corruption.
