The use of "the Biden crime family" is no mere hyperbole. Before Rudy Giuliani was "America's Mayor," he was one of America's top prosecutors, which included bringing down mafia crime families. And he has evidence — from Hunter — that implicates not only Hunter and Joe Biden, but also James (Joe's brother) and Sara (James's wife). One set of payments from China went to a triad of Bidens: James, Hunter, and Sara. Don't worry, Giuliani says — you're going to see it in the texts, not making it up.
Is Joe Biden a presidential candidate or the godfather of a mafia-style crime family?
It looks like the latter, based on the latest revelations from Hunter Biden's abandoned MacBook Pro computer, which at this point has so many damning revelations coming from it it's starting to remind me of the captured FARC computer of 2007.
The latest emails reveal a man obsessed with getting his payment cut for "introductions" to people like his dad, not just with the Ukrainians, but the Chinese, to the tune of tens of thousands, if not millions of dollars.
Hunter in fact drove a hard bargain for his "introductions" to his father and perhaps others in the Obama administration and the cash rolled in. And American foreign policy became quite the object out there for sale. Imagine this machine scarfing up cash, and combine it with the Clinton and maybe Obama poltical machines also scarfing up cash from third world satraps eager for an audience.
More ominous still, the cash wasn't all for Hunter. Joe Biden apparently got some, quite a director's cut really, making Hunter Biden look like a cog in a family syndicate, the hapless, schlemiel-like Fredo in the operation ... who answers to "the Big Guy."
John Hinderaker at Power Line notes this:
Today the Post featured a story even more explosive than the one Twitter and Facebook tried to suppress yesterday:
Hunter Biden pursued lucrative deals involving China’s largest private energy company — including one that he said would be “interesting for me and my family,” emails obtained by The Post show.
One email sent to Biden on May 13, 2017, with the subject line “Expectations,” included details of “remuneration packages” for six people involved in an unspecified business venture.
The emails indicate that Hunter was to receive an annual salary of $850,000. Somewhere on the planet there is a greedier person than Hunter Biden, but you would have to look hard to find him. But of course, no one cared then, or now, about Hunter.
In addition, the email outlined a “provisional agreement” under which 80 percent of the “equity,” or shares in the new company, would be split equally among four people whose initials correspond to the sender and three recipients, with “H” apparently referring to Biden.
So Joe Biden was "the big guy"? This is looking shadier and seedier by the minute. Who knew a corrupt old fool like Joe Biden could be "the big guy" in a crime syndicate? The arrangements described speak of ten percent, which is a running joke in the third world, and has been for years.
According to New York Times correspondent Keith Richland, in his book on third world corruption, "Out of America," ten percent has quite a few connotations:
So endemic is African corruption--and so much more destructive than its Asian counterpart--that the comparison has even spawned a common joke that goes like this:
An Asian and an African become friends while they are both attending graduate school in the West. Years later, they rise to become the finance minister of their respective countries. One day, the African ventures to Asia to visit his old friend, and is startled by the Asian's palatial home, the three Mercedes-Benzes in the circular drive, the swimming pool, the servants.
"My God!" the African exclaims. "We were just poor students before. How on earth can you afford all this?"
And the Asian takes his African friend to the window and points to a sparkling new elevated highway in the distance. "You see that toll road?" says the Asian, and then he proudly taps himself on the chest. "Ten percent." And the African nods approvingly.
A few years later, the Asian ventures to Africa, to return the visit to his old friend. He finds the African living in a massive estate, sprawling over several acres. There's a fleet of dozens of Mercedes-Benzes in the driveway, an indoor pool and tennis courts, an army of uniformed chauffeurs and servants. "My God!" says the Asian. "How on earth do you afford all this?"
This time, the African takes his Asian friend to the window and points. "You see that highway?" he asks. But the Asian looks and sees nothing, just an open field with a few cows grazing.
"I don't see any highway," the Asian says, straining his eyes.
At this, the African smiles, taps himself on the chest, and boasts: "One hundred percent."
So Joe, according to these documents was Mr. Ten Percent, too, same as the third world corruptocrats, but he got even greedier as time went by.
With Fredo-like dolor, Hunter Biden wrote this:
“I love you all but I don’t receive any respect and that’s fine I guess. Works for you apparently. I hope you all can do what I did, and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It’s really hard but don’t worry, unlike Pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
Apparently he moved towards the African satrap's style, and became Mr. Fifty Percent based on this email. Which certainly would explain why Biden's political record resembles that of the African satrap, in that like the African satrap, nothing got done in Joe's 47 years in politics, either -- except of course the family-business pocket-lining.
This corruption runs like a spider web, with Joe at the center of it, Fredo his hapless pawn, whimpering to his sister. The big guy always gets his cut, see, and not a thing Fredo can do about it.
One only hopes that this is a watershed event that will turn the voter tide toward Trump, whose family has no such history. What this shows is that a Biden presidency, with the White House for sale, would be actually rather dangerous, with the U.S. becoming more and more like an African dictatorship than a place of rule of law, should Joe Biden ever become president.
And the mafia comparisons don't stop there. All godfathers have jealous rivals, and so does "the big guy," surrounded as he is by ambitious and venomous wasps like Kamala Harris circling him and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talking about re-setting transitions of power. Like a mafia don, he'd better hire a food taster, because guys like this have been known to get rubbed out.
In the meantime, President Trump should do all he can to make Biden's family nickname stick. Trump calling him "the big guy" sounds like just the thing to make Joe Biden squirm.
Can the Democrats Sell Their Worst Candidate Ever?
Even before anyone ever heard of Hunter Biden’s laptop, Democrats were facing a marketing challenge unknown in the era of moving images: selling a candidate that no one -- with the possible exception of Jill “Edith Wilson” Biden -- could possibly be enthused about.
By any standard, especially by progressive Democratic standards, Joe Biden is a flaming mess. No Democrat of any age will have ever pulled the lever for a less attractive candidate. Compared to Joe, Hillary Clinton was JFK. Hillary actually had fans.
Democratic leaders and their increasingly Pravda-like media allies know what a mess Biden is. In 2019, before he emerged as the candidate, they openly shared their misgivings. In early June 2019, for instance, both the New York Times and the Washington Post produced video hit pieces highlighting Biden’s problematic history. These pieces were triggered, wrote the Post, by the fact that the Biden campaign “lifted language without credit, at times word for word, when crafting its education and climate plans.”
The Post video dealt largely with Biden’s plagiarism issues dating back to his first presidential run in 1987. Although the tone of the narration is not as harsh as it should be, the revelations are damning. Biden’s plagiarism comes across like a cry for help. It is hard to decide which was more pathetic: lifting the speeches and hardscrabble life details of Welsh Labour Party’s Neil Kinnock or swiping virtually word-for-word JFK’s memorable 1961 inaugural address.
A follow-up Post article, also from June 2019, noted that Biden’s credibility problems did not end in 1987 with his withdrawal from the presidential race. In 2007, running for president once again, Biden claimed he had been “shot at” in Iraq’s Green Zone. He had not, but this was not the only time he lied about Iraq.
In 2002 Biden voted to authorize the use of force, but when the left turned against the war, so did Biden, if a little slowly. "The world, in fact, voted to send inspectors in and [Bush] still went to war," Biden said of his 2002 vote. "From that point on, I was in the position of making the case that it was a big, big mistake." As CNN pointed out, Biden was defending his vote as late as 2006, aggressively so until 2004.
The video produced by the New York Times, although equally soft in tone, exposed several issues other than plagiarism that make the Biden candidacy hard for progressives, especially women and African Americans, to swallow. On multiple occasions, for instance, Biden claimed to have marched in the civil rights movement. Said the narrator, “He never marched in the civil rights movement at all.”
In March 2019, New York magazine pulled no punches in an article headlined, “Will Black Voters Still Love Biden When They Remember Who He Was?” Its lead paragraphs sums up a few of the reasons Democratic voters, especially blacks, would find it hard to cozy up to Biden come November:
Joe Biden once called state-mandated school integration “the most racist concept you can come up with,” and Barack Obama “the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean.” He was a staunch opponent of “forced busing” in the 1970s, and leading crusader for mass incarceration throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. Uncle Joe has described African-American felons as “predators” too sociopathic to rehabilitate -- and white supremacist senators as his friends.
Knowing his history, Biden’s vice-presidential pick, Kamala Harris, famously scorched him during a primary debate for opposing busing. Harris also raised the accusation anew that on at least two occasions Biden praised segregationists. As recently as 2013, in fact, Biden eulogized, at tedious length, the “great” Sen. Robert Byrd. “He always spoke truth to power,” said Biden, including, one presumes, during Byrd’s tenure as exalted cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan.
Troubling for the left, too, as the Times video suggests, was Biden’s treatment of Anita Hill during Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings in 1991. In Hill’s biography, Speaking Truth to Power, she claimed that Biden, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, forced her to go into details that “disgusted” her. She added, "The senators’ tendency toward ad hoc rulemaking weighed in heavily against fairness.” The Times video notes that Biden’s role in this hearing still “haunts” him.
The Times narrator concedes that Biden “has struggled to project himself as a man in step with his times.” One such struggle concerns what the narrator daintily calls Biden’s “relationship with personal space.” Although most Democrats don’t know the depth of it, that “relationship” is as pathological as his plagiarism. As this eight-minute video shows, Biden’s public fondling of little girls goes well beyond “creepy” into the realm of the perverse. Were he a priest he would be in prison.
Biden’s boundary problems did not end with little girls. Nor did they end with rubbing and groping. Among the many adult women he has been accused of molesting is Tara Reade, a 28-year-old Senate aide at the time of her fateful encounter in March 1993. In this “60 Minutes Australia” interview Reade goes into detail about the alleged assault, claiming Biden forced her legs apart with his knee, whispered “I want to f--- you,” and penetrated her with his finger. When Reade resisted, Biden spat out, “You know, you’re nothing to me, nothing.”
Unlike its American counterpart, “60 Minutes Australia” dared to address the issue of media bias. Interviewer Alexis Daish acknowledged that Reade, unlike a Trump accuser, “faced a barrage of scrutiny.” A lifelong Democrat, Reade agreed: “The fact that he was an elite Democrat put him in an untouchable position.” As a result, said Reade, “I lost everything -- work, legitimacy, reputation, friendships, housing -- everything.”
When questioned by Daish about why Trump supporters give him a pass on accusations of sexual impropriety, former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci made a valid point, namely that, unlike Biden and other career politicians, Trump “has not led his life with great sanctimony.”
Biden has. As late as 2017 Biden received a humanitarian award in New York for his efforts to protect victims of sexual violence. At the climax of his acceptance speech, Biden thundered, “No means no. Period. No matter when it’s said. No matter how it’s said.” The audience applauded.
Scaramucci might have said too that it was not Trump supporters who made heroines out of Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford. Nor did they launch the #MeToo movement, yesterday’s cause du jour.
For all his talk that “women are to be believed,” Biden asked America not to believe Reade. “The truth is,” he said, “these claims are flat out false.” When asked about whether Biden was lying, Reade backhandedly gave him the benefit of the doubt: “I don’t know what his capacity is now.” Reade knows that Biden’s “capacity” is seriously diminished. Too many voters, however, do not know just how diminished Biden is, and the media are working hard to keep it that way.
At this stage, no one would expect progressives to care a whit about Biden’s increasing senility or his arranging corrupt foreign deals for his relatives, let alone his role in ObamaGate. One would expect them, however, to care at least a little about the things they have marched about and screamed about and even rioted about. They don’t.
Daish asked a good friend of Reade’s, one who has known about the assault for twenty-five years, what she would think when she casts her vote for Biden. Said the women, “He is going to be the president who assaulted my very good friend.”
For all their talk about empowering women and minorities, leftists have used all their vast media, tech, and deep state power to sell America a corrupt old white guy of diminished mental capacity. To do this they have had to suppress the fact that -- by any standards -- Biden is a pedophile, a plagiarist, a liar, and a hypocrite, and -- by the left’s standards -- a racist, sexist, and warmonger as well as a credibly accused sexual predator.
Democrats better hope postal workers don’t go on strike.

Buckle up: Hunter Biden laptop scandal may be about to get a whole lot worse
Facebook and Twitter sacrificed the final shreds of their integrity to try to censor the N.Y. Post article revealing the existence of Hunter Biden's laptop. But in their rush to throw themselves in the path of the bullet to save Joe, there was a big problem. They forgot that Rudy Giuliani has the evidence.
The N.Y. Post article was an exclusive. That means all "fact checkers" that Facebook and Twitter will unleash to fact-check the article will be based on speculation, not fact. Because they don't have the laptop.
And, judging from a new video from Giuliani, things may be about to explode in the social media giants' faces.
If just a quarter of what Rudy Giuliani alleges is true, the evidence contained on the laptop is, finally, the true smoking gun. This isn't some salacious accusations bundled by a hired spy relying on Russian disinformation and gossip. It's Hunter's own laptop. That fact alone could be an enormous blow to the Biden campaign.
Giuliani released bombshell after bombshell in a video released Wednesday evening after the media did their best to censor the N.Y. Post article — making the social media censorship even more damning to those who tried to hide it from the public. Since receiving the copy of the hard drive, Giuliani has been poring through it, carefully documenting and preparing his prosecution. What he says he found is the actual evidence of payments, the money-laundering scheme they used, "illegal money for bribes," and how "some of that money from Ukraine ... went to Joe Biden."
Like a prosecutor laying out the case, Giuliani leads off the video with this: "In future days, you will see texts, emails, and photos that demonstrate crimes committed by the Biden crime family — in China (probably most of all), Russia, and several other countries."
The use of "the Biden crime family" is no mere hyperbole. Before Rudy Giuliani was "America's Mayor," he was one of America's top prosecutors, which included bringing down mafia crime families. And he has evidence — from Hunter — that implicates not only Hunter and Joe Biden, but also James (Joe's brother) and Sara (James's wife). One set of payments from China went to a triad of Bidens: James, Hunter, and Sara. Don't worry, Giuliani says — you're going to see it in the texts, not making it up.
The fact he was one of America's top prosecutors makes the ending of the video even more damning: "I've been in this business a long time. This is the biggest cover-up I have ever seen. And it is the biggest government scandal, I've ever heard of."
Getting back to the beginning, Giuliani continued his introduction, saying, "China has all of the photos that we have — which means [Hunter] is, really, a massive national security threat to the United States. Since his father lies — about all of this — it's an easy area of extortion."
Believe it or not, it gets worse from there for Joe Biden.
Laying out the case further, Giuliani points right at the defendant, accusing Joe of "certainly [committing] a crime. Because some of that money from Ukraine, illegal money for bribes, went to Joe Biden."
Remember: these are all accusations after Giuliani has read through the emails, the texts, and the contents of the hard drive. Unlike the Facebook/Twitter "fact-checker" minions, Giuliani has seen the evidence.
In one of the more damning statements, he says, "China has so many different transactions, it's going to take a couple of days, if not a week, for us to sort all through them. But we have them. ... And, basically, this is money that goes to Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sara Biden...and the Biden family."
He also has evidence of how the money flowed — thanks to a text from Hunter Biden to his daughter, Naomi, that was found on the hard drive. Giuliani says the text was discussing money, "but in it, [Hunter] makes a very big mistake. He explains the distribution scheme that the Biden crime family has used for years."
The text reads, "I love you all, but I don't receive any respect. And that's fine, I guess. Works for you apparently. I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years."
Giuliani interrupts his reading of the text to wonder why Hunter was paying for everything for the family. Because, Giuliani speculates, Hunter was getting the money, and they were keeping it, from Joe, so he wouldn't have to report it. But he paid, for example, for his half-sister's entire college education.
Giuliani then returns to the text for the coup de grâce: "It's really hard. But don't worry unlike Pop, I won't make you give me half your salary."
"Pop" is Hunter's name for his dad, Joe Biden.
All of this is really just Rudy's opening statement. If the evidence about to be rolled out is even remotely on par with his opening statement, it will be beyond explosive, given the source: Hunter's own laptop.
Will the censorship hit new heights? Or will the media do what they should have been doing for the last four years — investigate the real crime that has been in plain sight all this time?
The full, 16-minute video can be found on Rudy Giuliani's Common Sense Podcast Channel on YouTube.
