Follow the money.

The key to solving large and complex corruption cases is to follow the money. Everywhere Biden, Obama’s Point Man, went, the Biden Family Enterprise made millions. Yes millions!

One person who has been following the money is Peter Schweizer. He has written about the “Biden 5” who have scored major financial scores while Joe Biden was Vice President.
Schweizer said, “In the case of Joe Biden, for example, we show you how five of his family members cashed in while he was vice president, who was paying them, what they were being paid for, the lack of any skill or background they had in that field, the fact that they were scoring these sweetheart deals, they didn’t get them before he was vice president, they didn’t get them after he was vice president, and the policy positions that Joe Biden took at the time that his family members were getting paid.”
He meticulously documented all of them
The volume of Biden family members — dubbed the “Biden 5” by Schweizer — involved in business dealings linked to Joe Biden’s former role as vice president is surprising, assessed Schweizer.
“Having done this for a long time, having researched and investigated Republicans and Democrats, I have not found a case where you actually have five members of a family who cashed in at the same time,” Schweizer said. “That’s kind of unprecedented.”
Schweizer remarked, “We certainly have new material on Hunter [Biden] in the book, including the fact that he had a joint-venture business setup that got $3 million in our taxpayer money in the form of a grant.”
Schweizer went on, “In addition to Hunter, we have Joe Biden’s brother James who landed a very lucrative job in the construction business. Essentially what happened is, a guy named Kevin Justice — a longtime Biden family friend — in November of 2010, went and visited the white House and met with Joe Biden’s people in Joe Biden’s office. He started a company called HillStone International, a construction company. Three weeks after that meeting in the White House, he announced that James Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, was going to join as an executive vice president. ”
Schweizer continued, “What stands out in this, of course, is that James Biden has no background in construction, and in a bio the company released on him, all they noted was the fact that he was comfortable in the corridors of power and his brother was Vice president of the United States. A few months after he joins the firm, lo and behold, this new company lands a contract to build 100,000 homes in Iraq from the federal government. They get a bunch of other contracts, as well.”
“Frank, [Joe Biden’s] other brother, starts doing deals in Costa Rica,” explained Schweizer. “Joe Biden, as vice president, visits Costa Rica in the spring of 2009 and suddenly Frank — who was has no background in energy [and] no background in major real estate development projects — starts getting all these deals, meetings, photos, letters, [and] support from the Costa Rican government for these projects.”
Schweizer contrasted politicians who build successful businesses prior to entering politics with those who amass fortunes after being elected to political offices.
One of Hunter Biden’s major scores was in China, and now Biden says that the US should “help China.”
Right.
Chinese theft of sensitive US military technology is still a ‘huge problem,’ says defense analyst
The Chinese stole F35 intel while Joe was VP.
But since his druggie deadbeat dad son was scoring green from China we can overlook that.
This all takes on a very different air with recent revelations. Back in April John Solomon- who has been widely derided by the left for his articles- wrote about a meeting held at the White House in January 2016 regarding Ukraine.
As Donald Trump began his meteoric rise to the presidency, the Obama White House summoned Ukrainian authorities to Washington to coordinate ongoing anti-corruption efforts inside Russia’s most critical neighbor.
The January 2016 gathering, confirmed by multiple participants and contemporaneous memos, brought some of Ukraine’s top corruption prosecutors and investigators face to face with members of former President Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), FBI, State Department and Department of Justice (DOJ).
The agenda suggested the purpose was training and coordination. But Ukrainian participants said it didn’t take long — during the meetings and afterward — to realize the Americans’ objectives included two politically hot investigations: one that touched Vice President Joe Biden’s family and one that involved a lobbying firm linked closely to then-candidate Trump.
U.S. officials “kept talking about how important it was that all of our anti-corruption efforts be united,” said Andrii Telizhenko, then a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington tasked with organizing the meeting.
Telizhenko, who no longer works for the Ukrainian Embassy, said U.S. officials volunteered during the meetings — one of which was held in the White House’s Old Executive Office Building — that they had an interest in reviving a closed investigation into payments to U.S. figures from Ukraine’s Russia-backed Party of Regions.
The meeting was convened by one Eric Ciaramella
who just happened to have a relationship with Joe Biden
A retired CIA officer toldthe Washington Examiner, “From everything we know about the whistleblower and his work in the executive branch then, there is absolutely no doubt he would have been working with Biden when he was vice president.”
As an experienced CIA official on the NSC with the deep knowledge of Ukraine that he demonstrated in his complaint, it is probable that the whistleblower briefed Biden and likely that he accompanied him on Air Force Two during at least one of the six visits the 2020 candidate made to the country.
The Burisma trail now goes directly into the Obama White House. Speaking of Eric Ciaramella
democrats do not want Hunter Biden to testify. They really don’t want to testify.
It’s not hard to see what was going on now. The Obama adminstration was sending all kinds of money to Ukraine – all presided over by Ukraine point man Joe Biden- and a good chunk of it was finding its way into the hands of Hunter Biden.
There was a reason Hunter Biden was getting paid all this money

Sen. Josh Hawley said it’s time to call Hunter Biden as a witness:
“I think it’s now clear we absolutely must call Hunter Biden and we probably need to call Joe Biden. Based on the House managers’ presentation today, I think we probably are going to need to hear from the former Vice President if indeed we call witnesses,” Hawley told reporters in a mid-afternoon break in the trial, citing arguments House impeachment managers made.
“They also showed how central the Bidens are to their argument—I mean really, really central—and how important it is for them that Hunter Biden not be involved in any kind of corruption with Burisma.”
Now that Burisma/Ukraine is linked directly to the Obama White House and “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella – who is responsible for this impeachment- questions need to be answered.
EXCLUSIVE: Why did the Obama White House host a meeting for Ukrainian officials where the Bidens and Burisma were discussed? Organized by the person many have pegged as the whistleblower no less! https://t.co/BWJaNXzbCL

That White House meeting about the Bidens and Burisma? That was in January 2016. Joe Biden bragged that he had the prosecutor looking into Burisma corruption fired- in March of 2016. That is the classic definition of a quid pro quo. Interestingly,
1/ Ciaramella was personally involved in issuing Biden demand that Shokin be fired as condition for IMF $1 billion. Ukr prosecutors informed of demand by US officials at Jan 19, 2016 meeting in Washington https://t.co/h50kZRwpzr, one month before Shokin resignation.

Biden also intimated that Barack Obama gave him approval to do that- and according to Trey Gowdy tonight, it makes Joe Biden relevant as a witness and it also makes Barack Obama relevant as a witness.
When you look back at Obama’s actions- the January 2017 meeting including Obama, Susan Rice and James Comey (following which Comey interrogated Trump in the form of a “brief” about the Steele dossier), Obama’s decree allowing 17 agencies to spread classified information (on Trump), the abuse of the 702’s, the alteration of the Flynn 302’s-, allowing private contractors access to NSA raw data, Ciaramella being planted in the NSC- there is no question in my mind Obama was part of this.
The Russian collusion hoax was created to first prevent Trump from being elected and distract from the Ukraine scandal that had its tentacles wound tightly around the Biden’s. We may find that the Russian hoax was given birth in Ukraine.
Joe Biden may or may not be the beneficiary of all this cash flowing out of Ukraine, but Hunter certainly is. Joe was the candy man. Biden and his family are looking at real trouble.
Michael Flynn took a figurative bullet to save his son from the entrapment foisted upon him by Comey’s FBI.
Will Biden flip on Obama to save Hunter, James and Frank?

The Dems spent loads of time today knocking Rudy.
Like the bug creatures from that Lost in Space movie the Democrats are eating their own Wounded
Does anyone have a link to the entire conversation where Biden claims to have had the prosecutor fired? I want context, just to be sure.

@DrJohn: Oof. That would be devastating, if anyone in the media cared. Thanks, Dr. J.
Obama has turned his back on Biden some time ago so how hard would it be for Biden to think: Blood is thicker than water?
Big problem for Biden is his lack of an organization outside of the DNC.
And the DNC looks more favorably on the Obamas than on the Bidens.
@Petercat: Yeah, and Democrats claim it is nothing.
Putting Obama on the stand… now THAT would be delicious. I hope someone can get photos of Democrats’ big, stupid faces the moment they realize what a gigantic f**king mistake they made creating this circus. Please, please, PLEASE!!
Any of the Democrats would turn on any other democrat if it would benefit them. They are a bunch of hyenas.
@Nan G: I remember my mother once looking me straight in the eyes and saying “Blood is thicker than water, and if you want to see some of it flow, then you just say that again.”
