JOE BIDEN HAS A PROBLEM AND HIS NAME IS HUNTER--
Morning Editorial Report
Kimberley A. Strassel
Oct. 22, 2020 7:32 pm ET
The following article was written by WSJ reporter, Kimberly A. Strassel and, appeared in the Oct. 22, 2020 issue entitled "The Biden Legacy". It is unbelievable that this kind of thing can take place in the U.S.
Because the former vice president hasn’t had to answer any questions on this topic—and continued to refuse to do so in Thursday’s debate—that problem could soon become America’s.
That’s
the reality now that a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s has come
forward to provide the ugly details of the “family brand.” Tony Bobulinski, a
Navy veteran and institutional investor, has provided the Journal emails and
text messages associated with his time as CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, a venture
between the Bidens and CEFC China Energy, a Shanghai-based conglomerate. That
correspondence corroborates and expands on emails recently published by the New
York Post, which says they come from a Hunter laptop.
In a
statement, Mr. Bobulinski said he went public because he wants to clear his
name, which was contained in those published emails, and because accusations
that the information is fake or “Russian disinformation” are “offensive.” He
attests that all the correspondence he provided is genuine, including documents
that suggest Hunter was cashing in on the Biden name and that Joe Biden was
involved. Mr. Bobulinski says he was also alarmed by a September report from
Sen. Ron Johnson that “connected some dots” on the CEFC deal, causing him now
to believe the Bidens sold out their U.S. partners.
Mr. Bobulinski’s text messages show he was recruited for the project by James Gilliar, a Hunter associate. Mr. Gilliar explains in a December 2015 text that there will be a deal between the Chinese and “one of the most prominent families from the U.S.” A month later he introduces Rob Walker, also “a partner of Biden.” In March 2016, Mr. Gilliar tells Mr. Bobulinski the Chinese entity is CEFC, which is shaping up to be “the Goldmans of China.” Mr. Gilliar promises that same month to “develop” the terms of a deal “with hunter.” Note that in 2015-16, Joe Biden was still vice president.
As
the deal takes shape in 2017, Mr. Bobulinski begins to question what Hunter
will contribute besides his name, and worries that he was “kicked out of US
Navy for cocaine use.” Mr. Gilliar acknowledges “skill sets [sic] missing” and
observes that Hunter “has a few demons.” He explains that “in brand [Hunter is]
imperative but right know [sic] he’s not essential for adding input.” Mr.
Bobulinski writes that he appreciates “the name/leverage being used” but thinks
the economic “upside” should go to the team doing the actual work. Mr. Gilliar
reminds him that those on the Chinese side “are intelligence so they understand
the value added.”
This
dispute almost derails the deal. Hunter is hardly visible through most of the
work, until final contract negotiations ramp up in mid-May. He brings in his
uncle Jim Biden for a stake. (Mr. Gilliar in a text message soothes Mr.
Bobulinski with a promise that Jim’s addition “strengthens our USP”—unique
selling proposition—“to the Chinese as it looks like a truly family business.”)
Hunter in texts and emails wants offices in three U.S. cities, “significant”
travel budgets, a stipend for Jim Biden, a job for an assistant, and
more-frequent distributions of any gains. As for annual pay, he explains in an
email that he expects “a hell of a lot more than 850” thousand dollars a year
(the amount Mr. Bobulinski, the CEO, is getting), since his ex-wife will take
nearly all of it.
Mr.
Bobulinksi pushes back, warning Mr. Gilliar in a text that they need to
“manage” Hunter because “he thinks things are going to be his personal
piggybank.” The duo worry about his “mental state,” substance abuse, and his
ability to make meetings.
Hunter,
in his own angry texts, makes clear that his contribution is his name. He rails
at Mr. Bobulinski that the CEFC heads are “coming to be MY partner to be
partners with the Bidens.” He reminds him “that in this instance 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.” Mr.
Gilliar privately tells Mr. Bobulinski to show flexibility, since “I know why
[CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming] wants the deal and what makes it enormous, It’s the
family name.”
CEFC
was closely entwined with the Chinese government and military until it went
bankrupt, following U.S. charges of money laundering. There is no question CEFC
was buying Hunter for influence.
Joe
Biden claims he has never discussed his son’s business. Yet a May 2017
“expectations” document shows Hunter receiving 20% of the equity in the venture
and holding another 10% for “the big guy”—who Mr. Bobulinski attests is Joe
Biden.
In
one text, Hunter says that “my Chairman gave an emphatic NO” to a version of
the deal. Mr. Walker, Hunter’s partner, explains in a text to Mr. Bobulinski
that when Hunter “said his chairman he was talking about his dad.”
Mr.
Bobulinski’s texts show he even met with Joe Biden. Mr. Gilliar reminds him in
May 2017: “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face,
I know u know that but they are paranoid.” Mr. Biden had left office by then,
though CEFC was always a suspicious company with ties to a rival government. It
would have a been risky for any public figure to deal with it, much less a
potential presidential candidate. Mr. Biden was given ample opportunity to deny
the authenticity or facts of the Bobulinski information at Thursday’s debate;
he didn’t.
The
deal fell through on the Chinese end in the summer of 2017. CEFC was supposed
to supply $10 million; it never arrived. This is where the Johnson report comes
in. The Senate report notes that CEFC wired $5 million to a company called
Hudson West in August 2017. The report says an associate of CEFC Chairman Ye in
September opened a line of credit under Hudson West’s name, and Hunter, Jim
Biden and Jim Biden’s wife, Sara, were given credit cards associated with the
account, and bought items totaling more than $100,000.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU 7-1-14?
Here is what happened on July 1st 2014:
Top Income Tax
bracket went from 35%
to 39.6%
These taxes were all passed under the Affordable
Care Act, otherwise
known as Obama Care.
All these taxes
were passed with only Democrat votes
OBAMA ON THE BIDEN STUMP BLASTING TRUMP.....
I WONDER WHY....???? REMEMBER THIS?
No wonder the Obamas hate President Trump. Verified by FactChecker SNOPES which has verified the report President Donald Trump did indeed send Obama a bill
for all the vacations he has gone on since leaving office...
It's no wonder ex-President Obama's latest vicious speech's went after President
Trump. Obama's recent speeches are not to support his Democrat party,
but they are to slam President Trump for taking away the Obamas’
taxpayer funded vacations for the next 20 years! President Trump
cancels their future vacations, and is making the Obamas refund the
money to the American taxpayers for the cost of their vacations over
the last 3 1/2 years, ever since Obama’s last Presidential term
expired.
Again...This was verified on Snopes as being true.
PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST ENDED THE OBAMA'S VACATION SCAM!
Ex-President Obama was going to stick the US taxpayers for $2.1
billion or so. Before Obama left office, he arranged with the US
State Department for a series of "official visits" to foreign
countries spanning the next 20 years. Using funds from the "Office of
Presidential Visits and Vacations", Obama was planning to use what
would have been $2.1 billion in free vacations for him and up to 24
members of his family, plus staff and even a dog sitter, until the
year 2036. Obama would have done this, that is until President Trump
put a stop to it. Trump, who is always looking for ways to save money,
was presented with a ledger that contained all of the Obama's travel
plans and expenses. The ledger was found by one of the workers
President Trump hired from outside the typical White House staff.
President Trump immediately canceled the plans and recalled all Secret
Service agents scheduled to protect the Obamas anywhere outside of the
United States. The Obamas are also facing another new challenge at the
hands of President Trump. They're going to have to repay the
government for all of those vacations that weren't official state
business.
The bill, after some small allowances for days that were possibly work
related, is for $214 million. Of the 692 days the Obamas spent on
vacation, almost none included any work at all. They ate, slept, and
golfed, and Michelle was given shopping allowances from the "Office of
Discretionary Gifting Funds", which is supposed to be used to buy
presents for visiting dignitaries.
P.S. Michelle's Mother, who took care of the granddaughters for all 8
years of Obama's presidency, was GETTING PAID by the federal
government! And NOW she is getting a pension of $13,000 a month for
the rest of her life, for those 8 years of babysitting. (Chew on that, and contemplate on how it compares to your social security bucks)
Editor's Note:
If Grandma can swindle a part time job for the above...just think how much more Slow Joe can tuck away...with all of his experience with the art of swindling!!

SOME BIBLE STUDY FOR THE TIMES......
In this crazy political season I decided a little religion might be appropriate, so here is a short Bible study.
Remember what Jesus said: 'Goats on the left, sheep on the right' (Matthew 25:33).
Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat. They did and filled the boat with fish.
John 21:6 (NIV) ... He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some. " WHEN they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.”
Origin of Left & Right . . . I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) -
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to
the left. ”
It surely can't get any simpler than that.
A Spelling Lesson:
The last four letters in
American..........I Can
The last four letters in Republican...... I Can
The last four letters in Democrats........ Rats
End of lesson! ...Test to follow in November, 2020. November is to be set aside as rat removal month.
Never grow a wishbone where a backbone ought to be. . . .
INTERESTING PIECE OF HISTORY....(From a friend)
" This is interesting, but at this stage I suppose that I'm preaching to the choir.
In spite of lying constantly throughout his 47 year political career Biden has sold his followers that he is the epitome of high character. A mentor once told me "Joe, there are two types of people...there are sincere people and there are insincere people..and it's hard to tell the difference."
Joe has a history of lying , even some times when the truth would have been better. Amazing to me is that when my liberal friends are asked why they support Joe most of the responses run along the lines of I like Joe better because of his character and sincerity, and I don't like Trump because of his caustic personality and his lies. Almost never do his supporters cite Joe's accomplishments or his non-existent platform. Being insincere may pay off for Joe, his supporters cannot tell the difference.
Earlier this week, I finished reading Donald Rumsfeld’s wonderful biography of Gerald Ford, titled ”When the Center Held.” It was written in 2018. The book clearly articulates that President Ford was a thoroughly good man, a special American, and a greatly underrated President. HOWEVER, there was a story in the book that was startling.
In 1975, President Ford was left to manage the difficult ending of the Vietnam War. As North Vietnam seized on the opportunity to test American resolve following President Nixon’s resignation, President Ford went to Congress to ask for a relief package to push back on the North Vietnamese to allow American personnel and our allies to evacuate. However, there was one US Senator who opposed any such support. The result was the embarrassing and hurried evacuation from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon. This senator reviled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford.
Despite the efforts of this U.S .Senator--President Ford managed to rescue 1,500 South Vietnamese allies prior to the country’s fall. Had President Ford not acted quickly, these people would have been targeted and slaughtered for their support for America. Saving them was a moral obligation.
When they arrived in America, President Ford asked Congress for a package to assist these refugees integrate into American society. But that troublesome US Senator showed up again and torpedoed any support for these shell shocked refugees. Instead, President Ford had to recruit Christian organizations to offer assistance on a voluntary basis. As he did so, the aforementioned Senator belittled those efforts.
What kind of person would oppose President Ford’s tireless work to do the right and humanitarian thing? Who would want to play politics with the well-being of innocent people who stood by America in the tragic Vietnam War?
That US Senator? Joe Biden.
Donald Trump isn't a saint and I've had my issues with him. But the gushing and revisionist history over Joe Biden and his record is nauseating.
