A GOP Senate report incriminates Hunter Biden (yup,
that is quid pro Joe’s son) in various criminal enterprises that
includes a possible link to human trafficking. I would be excited except FBI
Director Christopher Wray has done zero to look behind the huge billows of
criminal Dem smoke to find the fire or the origin of criminal Dem fires.
Meaning the Biden criminal syndicate just like the Clinton criminal syndicate
will likely have no indictments. I would love to be surprised and live to see
Dem criminal corruption prosecuted with equal vigor as a Conservative or
Republican. Sigh… Dem-criminality can be read at ZeroHedge
reporting on what should be prosecuted.

Hunter Biden Raised 'Counterintelligence And Extortion'
Concerns, May Have Participated In Sex Trafficking: Senate Report
By Tyler
Durden
09/23/2020 - 12:55
Update (1135ET): Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has
responded to the Biden probe, saying that after Trump was impeached "for
directing a scheme to extort a foreign partner to announce an investigation
into Vice President Joe Biden's son," that "Trump's most willing
allies in Congress quickly took up that mantle, and carried out his
demand..."
Schiff accused the two Senate Committee Chairs of
"promoting the same Russian disinformation," adding "the Kremlin
must be very pleased."
The California lawmaker notably didn't address any of the
core claims in the report.

A long-awaited Senate report on Hunter Biden's
financial dealings with Ukrainian, Chinese and Russian businesses created
potential "criminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion
concerns," and alarmed US officials who perceived an ethical conflict
of interest and flagged potential crimes ranging from sex trafficking to
bribery.
The findings are contained in a joint report by the GOP-led
Senate Homeland and Government Affairs and Senate Finance Committees, released
just six days before the first Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and
President Trump.
OUT TODAY: Report with @chuckgrassley found millions of dollars in questionable financial transactions between Hunter Biden & his associates and foreign individuals, including the wife of the former mayor of Moscow. https://t.co/R1MxQ4xGKP— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) September 23, 2020
According to the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross,
suspicious financial transactions between Hunter Biden's firms and foreign
nationals from Russia and China - including a CCP-linked Chinese businessman,
raised serious concerns. What's more, Hunter's seat on the board of Ukrainian
energy giant Burisma while his father served as the Obama administration
point-man for Ukraine, worried State Department officials in 2015 and 2016.
One official, Amos Hochstein,
told the Senate Homeland Security and Senate Finance committees that he said to
then-Vice President Joe Biden in October 2015 that Hunter Biden’s position on
the board of Burisma “enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked
undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine.”

now 50, joined Burisma’s board of directors in April 2014, shortly after his
father, Joe Biden, took over as the Obama administration’s chief liaison to
Ukraine. -Daily Caller
As Ross notes, while the report does not produce direct
evidence of wrongdoing by Hunter Biden, Republicans say the evidence paints a
troubling picture of Biden receiving "millions of dollars from foreign
sources as a result of business relationships that he built during the period
when his father was vice president of the United States and after."
Hunter Biden also received a $3.5 million wire transfer
from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, according
to the report.
And as Just The News' John Solomon
writes, "Perhaps the most explosive revelation was that the U.S.
Treasury Department flagged payments collected overseas by Hunter Biden and
business partner Devon Archer for possible illicit activities."
The so-called Suspicious
Activity Reports flagged millions of dollars in transactions from the
Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, a Russian oligarch named Yelena
Baturina, and Chinese businessmen with ties to Beijing's communist government,
the report said. Senate investigators have yet to determine if the FBI or
others investigated the concerns. -Just The News
"The Treasury records acquired by the Chairmen show
potential criminal activity relating to transactions among and between Hunter
Biden, his family, and his associates with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh and
Chinese nationals," reads the 87-page report. Other transactions involving
Biden-controlled firms were flagged for "potential criminal financial
activity," including wire transfers to Hunter's Uncle, James Biden.
The report focuses on millions
of dollars in wire payments that Hunter Biden’s firms received from Ye
Jianming, the founder of CEFC China Energy Co., and Gongwen Dong, a U.S.-based
associate of Ye’s.
According to Republicans, Ye
has “extensive” connections to the Chinese government.
The Senate report says that on
Aug. 4, 2017, a subsidiary of Ye’s company called CEFC Infrastructure
Investment (US) LLC, wired $100,000 to Owasco, the Biden law firm.
A month later, on Sept. 8, 2017,
Hunter Biden and Gongwen Dong applied for a $100,000 line of credit under a
shell company they formed called Hudson West III LLC, according to the
Senate report.
Biden, his uncle James, and
James’s wife, Sara Biden, accessed the account through credit cards, and spent
$101,291 on what Republicans call “extravagant items,” including
plane tickets, hotels, restaurants and items at Apple stores. -Daily Caller
Meanwhile, according to US government records cited in the
report, concerns were raised over potential ties to sex and human
trafficking rings.
"Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were
nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be
linked to an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring,"
the report reads.
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee
Chairman Ron Johnson told Just The News that the sheer volume of
potentially illegal activity in Hunter Biden's foreign dealings left Joe
Biden vulnerable to illicit influence or extortion.
"The report raises serious questions that former Vice President
Biden needs to answer. There are simply too many potential conflict of
interest, counterintelligence and extortion threats to ignore," he
said.
The Biden campaign has called the Senate report an effort to
"subsidize a foreign attack against the sovereignty of our elections with
taxpayer dollars" and to push a "long-disproven, hardcore rightwing
conspiracy theory."

And of course Biden's media defenders are hard at work
today:
A totally laughable headline from Politico, which was the go-to outlet for Democrats to pre-empt and undercut the Biden probe. https://t.co/vy7rfX6fZ2 pic.twitter.com/yqkLGla8GY— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) September 23, 2020
The findings, as compiled by the Daily Wire's Ryan Saavedra:
o In early 2015 the former Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at
the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent, raised concerns to officials in
Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of
interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board. Kent’s
concerns went unaddressed, and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to
his colleagues, “Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma
board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda
in Ukraine.”
o In October 2015, senior State Department official Amos
Hochstein raised concerns with Vice President Biden, as well as with Hunter
Biden, that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board enabled Russian
disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine.
o Although Kent believed that Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s
board was awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anti-corruption agenda in
Ukraine, the Committees are only aware of two individuals — Kent and former
U.S. Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs Amos
Hochstein — who raised concerns to Vice President Joe Biden (Hochstein) or his
staff (Kent).
o The awkwardness for Obama administration officials continued
well past his presidency. Former Secretary of State John Kerry had knowledge
of Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board, but when asked about it at a town
hall event in Nashua, N.H. on Dec. 8, 2019, Kerry falsely said, “I had no
knowledge about any of that. None. No.” Evidence to the contrary is detailed in
Section V.
o Former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian
Affairs Victoria Nuland testified that confronting oligarchs would send an
anticorruption message in Ukraine. Kent told the Committees that Zlochevsky was
an “odious oligarch.” However, in December 2015, instead of following U.S.
objectives of confronting oligarchs, Vice President Biden’s staff advised him
to avoid commenting on Zlochevsky and recommended he say, “I’m not going to get
into naming names or accusing individuals.”
o Hunter Biden was serving on Burisma’s board (supposedly
consulting on corporate governance and transparency) when Zlochevsky allegedly
paid a $7 million bribe to officials serving under Ukraine’s prosecutor general,
Vitaly Yarema, to “shut the case against Zlochevsky.” Kent testified that this
bribe occurred in December 2014 (seven months after Hunter joined Burisma’s
board), and, after learning about it, he and the Resident Legal Advisor
reported this allegation to the FBI.
o Hunter Biden was a U.S. Secret Service protectee from Jan.
29, 2009 to July 8, 2014. A day before his last trip as a protectee, Time
published an article describing Burisma’s ramped up lobbying efforts to U.S.
officials and Hunter’s involvement in Burisma’s board. Before ending his protective
detail, Hunter Biden received Secret Service protection on trips to multiple
foreign locations, including Moscow, Beijing, Doha, Paris, Seoul, Manila,
Tokyo, Mexico City, Milan, Florence, Shanghai, Geneva, London, Dublin, Munich,
Berlin, Bogota, Abu Dhabi, Nairobi, Hong Kong, Taipei, Buenos Aires,
Copenhagen, Johannesburg, Brussels, Madrid, Mumbai and Lake Como.
o Andrii Telizhenko, the Democrats’ personification of Russian
disinformation, met with Obama administration officials, including Elisabeth
Zentos, a member of Obama’s National Security Council, at least 10 times. A
Democrat lobbying firm, Blue Star Strategies, contracted with Telizhenko from
2016 to 2017 and continued to request his assistance as recent as the summer of
2019. A recent news article detailed other extensive contacts between
Telizhenko and Obama administration officials.
o In addition to the over $4 million paid by Burisma for Hunter
Biden’s and Archer’s board memberships, Hunter Biden, his family, and Archer
received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable
backgrounds.
o Archer received $142,300 from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan,
purportedly for a car, the same day Vice President Joe Biden appeared with
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arsemy Yasenyuk and addressed Ukrainian legislators in
Kyiv regarding Russia’s actions in Crimea.
o Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from
Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.
o Hunter Biden opened a bank account with Gongwen Dong to fund
a $100,000 global spending spree with James Biden and Sara Biden.
o Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming,
Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government
and the People’s Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of
dollars in cash flow.
o
Hunter Biden paid
nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European
countries and who appear to be linked to an “Eastern European prostitution or
human trafficking ring.”
Imagine if this was anyone with the last name Trump?
