A new voicemail leak shows that Joe Biden knew about his son Hunter Biden's deal with a Chinese oil tycoon accused of economic crimes. New York Post. Joe Biden had always maintained that he never talked to Hunter about his various business dealings, many of which appear to be illegal. However the new recording has Biden saying "I think you are in the clear", referring to a 2018 New York Times report about Hunter's deal. Hunter Biden's deal was with Ye Jianming, an rising Chinese energy star that was accused of economic crimes by China and has disappeared. According to another leak from Hunter Biden's laptop, one of Hunters associates claimed that Joe Biden would receive 10% of the money from his son's deal with Jianming's company, China Energy Company.
My Comment:
The Biden family corruption is well known and has been well detailed. Biden has always denied that he had nothing to do with Hunter Biden's corruption but that is obviously not the case. Biden was knee deep in it and it's pretty obvious that he's massively corrupt.
In a sane world, Biden's relationship with Hunter and Hunter's various crimes would have been the top story but instead the outlets that broke the story were censored and the story was prevented from spreading. It is just another reason why the 2020 election was illegitimate.
In the big scheme of things though, this story isn't that important. Everyone knew that Biden was lying about his son and the fact that we now have proof of it isn't a huge deal. Biden's statements about how he had never talked about Hunter's business dealings were never even remotely believable.
Though I think the Biden's family's connections to China are disturbing I thought that the connections to Ukraine are a lot more relevant and devastating. Hunter Biden famously was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company in a do-nothing job that he was totally unqualified for. It is widely suspected that the entire thing was a way to launder money from bribes.
Given that the world risks a world war over the Ukraine conflict it's hugely important to note that the guy in charge of our foreign policy was getting money from the country. It goes a long way to explaining why Biden has been so hardcore against any kind of deal with the Russians that could end the war. Doing so would cut him off from his dirty money.
This doesn't have too much to do with the corruption accusations, but it's shocking after listening to he audio how much more coherent that Joe Biden sounds back in 2018. He's not stuttering or confused and he's articulate. Not so much today. Even when the cracks started to appear in 2019 and 2020 Biden was more coherent then than he is now. Biden's mental abilities have regressed massively...
