I want to summarize what I read in Peter Schweizer's book, "Profiles In Corruption" about @joebiden.

I honestly believe that for most people, even those who know about his escapades in Ukraine, this will blow your minds.

Let's go ...

1) Biden has been in politics since 1972 when he was elected to the US Senate. I was in Grade 8. You?

2) Joe has traded on his position in the Senate to (essentially) juice a family-owned business of staggering proportions.

3) 5-family members are involved ...

(more)
... in Joe's influence-peddling for dollars: son Hunter, daughter Ashley, brothers James & Frank, and sister Valerie.

4) While Joe claims he has never spoken to these 5 about their business activities, based on what I'll summarize here, that's impossible.

(more)
5) His sisters & brothers were involved in all of his campaigns, and, of course, were paid for their services. 😉

6) It was clear that Joe's political career rapidly became the family business.

7) His 1988 Presidential run was scuppered by allegations that ...

(more)
... he had plagiarized a speech from a British politician.

8) To the consternation of his Senate colleagues, he often took votes contrary to the Democrat party line. Most could be directly tied to enriching his family member, including a vote against requiring ...

(more)
... credit card companies to provide better warnings about the perils of making only a minimum monthly payment. He is 1 of only 5 in his party to vote against this bill.

9) Remarkably, at the same time his son Hunter was receiving consulting fees from MBNA, a major ...

(more)
... Delaware credit card company.

10) He had a similar vote about asbestos liability while his son Beau was working for a law firm that handled asbestos cases.

11) In 2001, son Hunter became a lobbyist in DC, and used Joe's committee positions to work the system.

(more)
12) While in the Senate, Biden's family achieved significant financial benefits. His sister Valerie was a partner in a Political Messaging firm that received large fees from the Biden campaigns which Valerie ran!

13) $2.5M in fees flowed to her company during ...

(more)
... the 2008 presidential campaign alone. Note that her company worked for Biden campaigns over 18-years!!!

14) Running as Obama's VP, now Biden's family graft could be raised to the international level!

15) Hunter immediately formed companies to take advantage ...

(more)
... of Joe's new position as VP (2009).

16) Hunter flew on Air Force 2 with Joe, and cut deals in corrupt countries like Russia, Kazakstan, and Ukraine.

17) Hunter formed companies with Devon Archer & Chris Heinz, stepson of John Kerry. Archer had ...

(more)
... been a roommate of Heinz at Yale.

18) On 12/4/2013 Hunter went to Beijing on Air Force 2 with Joe Biden. Hunter disappeared in Beijing during the trip, while his father met with Chinese officials.

19) About 10-days after the trip, Hunter's company secured ...

(done)
... an unheard-of, first-time deal with the Chinese GOVERNMENT worth $1 BILLION!!! The deal quickly grew to $1.5 BILLION!!! Then $2 BILLION!!!

This was to fund Private Equity investments.

20) Hunter had no background in China & no background in Private Equity.

More coming tomorrow ... I have to eat & sleep!

22) One of BHR's first investments was in China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN), a nuclear energy company in China. In 2016 CGN was charged with espionage against the United States, and a nuclear engineer who stole secrets from the US.

24) Because Henniges had products of military value, the deal had to be approved by the Obama administration, and it was.

25) Hunter also did a deal with companies related to the Chinese Navy, Chinese ...

27) We all know about the Burisma deal Hunter was part of, and the book talks about how Burisma is intimately tied to some bad dudes in Ukraine. But, Hunter & his partner were EACH paid $1M over 12-months.

28) There was corruption in the US too:

This is a family that might just be THE DIRTIEST and THE MOST CORRUPT family of a politician in American history.

Why have we heard almost NOTHING about any of this? A story on some website, and "poof" it's forgotten.
