JOE BIDEN'S CHINA CONNECTION COORDINATED BY THE BIDEN DOJ
NEW Developments in Joe Biden's Classified Documents Case
Trump said Biden will not be the Democrat nominee in 2024
Last night, in his third town hall appearance on FOX News since last June, former President Donald Trump said he believes that President Joe Biden will not be the Democrat party’s nominee for president next year.
This was one of the two major takeaways from Trump’s hour-long sitdown with host Sean Hannity (actually closer to 35 minutes when the ad breaks and Hannity’s opening and closing comments were factored in).
The other one was Trump’s sarcastic reply to the claim repeated recently by the MSM, Democrats, and former Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY), to wit, that Trump would, if he is re-elected, pose a threat to democracy and rule as a dictator.
In his introduction to the program, Hannity announced that he would question President Trump about the cacophony of voices attacking him as a future dictator.
From the transcript of the broadcast provided by FOX News Media:
SEAN HANNITY FOX NEWS HOST: Here’s The Washington Post yesterday – quote – “The fear of a looming Trump dictatorship.” And this is today’s headline from Salon.com: “Americans are sleepwalking into a Trump dictatorship.” It’s now their favorite word.
Over at fake news, all cable news channels, you know, they’re featuring, you know, the same brand of fearmongering. Obviously, it’s clear they don’t want to talk about Joe Biden and his failed record.
After Trump was introduced, Hannity attempted twice to get the former president to respond:
SEAN HANNITY: They want to call you a dictator.
You used the words, “I am your retribution.” And now, before that, you said, if you have been wronged, and you used other words as well. But I want to be very, very clear on this. To be clear, do you in any way have any plans whatsoever, if reelected president, to abuse power, to break the law, to use the government to go after people?
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You mean like they’re using right now.
(LAUGHTER)
TRUMP: So, in the history of our country...
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: ... what’s happened to us, again, has never happened before over nonsense, over nothing, made-up charges.
I often say Al Capone, he was one of the greatest of all time, if you like criminals. He was a mob boss, the likes of which – Scarface, they call him. And he got indicted once. I got indicted four times.
With his question left unanswered, Hannity returned to the topic a few minutes later:
HANNITY: We almost have to go to a break. I want to go back to this one issue, though, because the media has been focused on this and attacking you –
TRUMP: Yeah.
HANNITY: – under no circumstances. You are promising America tonight. You would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?
TRUMP: Except for day one.
HANNITY: Except, what?
TRUMP: He’s [points to Hannity] going crazy. Except for day one.
HANNITY: Meaning?
TRUMP: I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.
HANNITY: That’s not – that's not retribution. I got it.
TRUMP: I’m going to be – I’m going to be, you know, he keeps – we love this guy. He says, you’re not going to be a dictator, are you? I said, no, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.
HANNITY: Well, that sounds to me like you’re going back to the policies when you’re a president.
TRUMP: Exactly.
Notwithstanding the context and nuance of Trump’s comment, the mainstream media – and the Biden-Harris campaign – wasted no time in attacking the former president.
Aaron Moussa, Director of Rapid Response for the Biden-Harris campaign, posted on X (formerly Twitter) the campaign’s official statement shortly after the town hall ended.
BIDEN
HARRIS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 5, 2023
The following is a statement from Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez:
“Donald Trump has been telling us exactly what he will do if he’s reelected and tonight he said he will be a dictator on day one. Americans should believe him.”
In terms of the mainstream media, FOX News is the only one (on television) that correctly reported the headline: with an on-screen chyron reading, to paraphrase, that Trump said he would not be a dictator except on day one in terms of closing the border and ordering drilling for oil.
There also was Trump's assessment of Joe Biden's candidacy.
The other “money quote,” as it were, from Tuesday’s Iowa town hall was Trump’s assertion that he doesn’t think Joe Biden will be the Democrat nominee for president in 2024.
HANNITY: Let me ask you.
When prominent Democratic voices like Maureen Dowd and David Axelrod and Van Jones and others are so critical of Joe Biden – and, of course, he is struggling cognitively. I can’t think of, in the last couple of months, any appearance that he has had where he wasn’t either mumbling or bumbling or stumbling or having no clue where to go, where to exit.
Now, my question is, do you think, in 11 months, he will be their candidate?
TRUMP: I personally don’t think he makes it, OK? I haven’t said that. I’m saving it for this big town hall. I have never really...
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: I personally don't think he makes it. [emphasis added]
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: I think he’s in bad shape physically.
Do you remember when he said, “I’d like to take him behind the barn?” If he took me behind the barn and I went like this [makes blowing air sound], I believe he’d fall over.
(LAUGHTER)
TRUMP: I believe he’d fall over. Who knows. Who knows. Who knows.
But it was OK. And, by the way, it was OK for him to say that. He said, I’d like to take him behind the – he could say that and everyone thought it was so cute.
If I ever said it, they’d say, “he’s a dictator. He’s a horrible human being.” It’s a whole double standard we have, and not only in the law, but just about everything else, as you know very well.
I personally don’t think he makes it physically. I watched him at the beach. He wasn’t able to lift a beach chair, which is meant for children to lift. He couldn’t lift it like that.
(LAUGHTER)
TRUMP: And mentally, I would say he’s possibly equally as bad, and maybe worse. But I don’t know.
I will say this. He’s got vicious people surrounding him around that beautiful Oval Office. There are people in that Oval Office that are evil people, bad people, smart people, young, vicious. They’re communists, and they’re bad. They’re...
Finally, on this point, Hannity followed up by asking Trump who he thought would be the nominee if it’s not Biden:
TRUMP: Well, I saw one person on who I actually had a very good relationship with. But I’m sure that it would end very quickly. I saw him in your debate the other night. And he’s slick, but he’s got no facts. You know, he’s got no facts. I thought he did well, considering...
HANNITY: You’re talking about Gavin Newsom?
TRUMP: Yeah. Considering that he didn’t have the facts, I thought he did well.
You know, he said...
(LAUGHTER)
TRUMP: ... “We have the lowest taxes in the country. We have the cleanest streets in the country. We have...”
(LAUGHTER)
And I’m saying, wait a minute. Is he talking about the same place?
(LAUGHTER)
So he’d certainly be one.
I guess they say that Kamala would be the one...
(BOOING)
TRUMP: ... with the odds to beat.
(BOOING)
TRUMP: Because they say, if they didn’t give it to her, the African-American vote, the black vote, would not go to them. And we just had a poll where I’m at 22 percent and 25 percent with the black vote. If we have that...
(APPLAUSE)
Adding some spice to Trump’s comments yesterday was President Biden’s curious assertion on the same day, when speaking at a fundraising event in Weston, Mass., “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running,” adding “we cannot let him win.”
Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, NewsNation will broadcast and stream online the fourth Republican candidates’ debate, featuring Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, and Ron DeSantis. Donald Trump, who also qualified to participate (obviously), continues to decline invitations to participate in the debates.

The Kamala Conundrum
Why Democrats are stuck with her.
California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom desperately wants to run for president- now rather than later.
After all, Newsom, for reasons I discuss in my new book, “As Goes California,” beat back a recall attempt. Polls show most Democrats want a candidate other than President Joe Biden, whose poll numbers remain in the tank. Over 60% of Americans consider the country on the wrong track. Biden’s cognitive decline is on full and public display, forcing staffers to limit Biden’s public appearances and restrict interaction with the media.
Why, then, doesn’t Newsom announce? He faces four obstacles: Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom.
First, Biden. He enjoys the job, having sought it unsuccessfully two previous times. He wanted to run again in 2016, but former President Barack Obama discouraged it. Biden also did not want to hinder what most assumed would be the coronation of the first female president. Biden thought the time had passed him by. But Donald Trump shocked the world, defeated Hillary Clinton, and allowed Biden to saddle up again. So, if he can fog up a mirror, he runs for reelection.
Second, Dr. Jill. She enjoys the job. Near the end of her stint as first lady, Michelle Obama told Oprah Winfrey that she wanted a “normal” life. But Dr. Jill Biden hovers approvingly over her husband like an Avenger, guiding him, running interference, and doing whatever it takes to get him through his day.
Third, Harris. Her poll numbers look bad, and she dropped out before the first presidential primary in 2020. But she ran for San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, and for reelection, U.S. Senate and vice president, winning each time.
She checks the identity party’s boxes as a female who identifies as black. After winning the 2020 Nevada caucuses the self-described Democrat-socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders became the Democrat frontrunner. Alarmed, South Carolina’s Rep. James Clyburn endorsed Biden on the eve of the South Carolina primary when most had given him up for dead. Clyburn extracted a promise: Make your first Supreme Court nominee a black female.
Blacks are the most loyal part of the Democrat base. Black Democrat females outnumber black Democrat males and are even more loyal than black males, 20% of whom voted in 2020 for Trump. The first 2024 democrat primary is South Carolina, where 60% of the Democrat primary voters are black. Black voters love Harris, especially black females. They consider the ridicule over Harris’ so-called cackle sexist and racist. They feel Biden burdened her with the insulting task of finding the “root cause” of illegal immigration when the root cause of the entry of millions of illegal immigrants under Biden is Biden. A recent Los Angeles Times poll found Harris’s favorability rating at 39%, two points below that of Biden. But in a recent YouGov poll, Harris, among blacks, had a 70% approval rating, which is undoubtedly even higher among black females.
Newsom, when it appeared that California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein might not complete her term, promised to appoint a black female replacement. He did. And now, with a black female Democrat poised to become the first female president of any color, Newsom knows a white man cannot swoop in and displace Harris. If he tries, without Harris agreeing to step aside, black Democrat females would explode — but not to the point where they would vote Republican. Many would just sit it out, guaranteeing a Republican victory.
Fourth, Newsom. What prescription does the hyper-lefty offer to Americans concerned about inflation, gas prices, wage growth, and inability to keep pace with inflation, crime, and porous borders? Did Newsom criticize Biden’s reckless spending and his inflation-inducing war on oil and gas? Please. Newsom wants California to go further and ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. During his two terms as mayor, homelessness exploded in his hometown, San Francisco. He supports soft-on-crime DAs and policies like cashless bail. Newsom’s California is a sanctuary state, and he expanded the number of illegal aliens eligible for taxpayer-funded health care. After Biden’s disastrous, world-destabilizing pullout from Afghanistan, Newsom said: “I’m incredibly proud of him.”

THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY
American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.
TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH
Joe Biden Got Monthly Payments From Hunter’s China-Funded Account
Follow the money.
Joe Biden and his people claimed that he had nothing to do with Hunter’s business dealings. And then it turned out that Joe met with Hunter’s clients and dropped by business meetings. And Hunter sent demands for payments to China in his father’s name.
The fallback argument was that there was no evidence of a paper trail showing that Joe Biden was getting paid.
Then came the documents showing a few payments labeled as “loan repayments”. And those were just dismissed as loan repayments. Now we have a trail of steady payments as exposed by Rep. James Comer and the House Oversight Committee.
Today, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) released subpoenaed bank records revealing Hunter Biden’s business entity, Owasco PC, made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. Hunter Biden is currently under an investigation by the Department of Justice for using the Owasco PC corporate account for tax evasion and other serious crimes…
Financial records obtained show Hunter Biden’s business account, Owasco PC, received payments from Chinese-state linked companies and other foreign nationals and companies.
This is a series of monthly payments which means it’s not a one-off.
An Oversight Committee aide told Breitbart News the committee is aware of at least three monthly payments for $1,380 on the following dates:
September 17, 2018
October 15, 2018
November 15, 2018
Previously, Hunter Biden had stated, “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro (sic) 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
Previously, in How Joe Biden Got Paid, I speculated that the arrangement had been set up for plausible deniability in which Joe Biden ‘invested’ in family businesses by loaning them money and then received loan repayments to avoid any direct entanglement in the stuff Hunter and James Biden, his brother, were doing.
Rather than directly investing in family enterprises, Joe Biden might have invested in the family members themselves in the form of personal loans. Those loans were used to finance new business opportunities that monetized access to Joe Biden. When payments came in, Joe Biden got his cut in the form of a “loan repayment”.
While family loans have to be disclosed to the IRS, they don’t have to appear in federal disclosures. For example, the House Ethics Committee states that, “loans made by the filer on which the filer is charging interest must be disclosed, unless the borrower is the spouse, parent, sibling, or child of the filer.” Biden had found a way to take money and avoid disclosing it.
The best way to think about Biden Inc. is that Joe may have been ‘staking’ family members who then went out and used his name and even his personal appearances to do what he could not do personally. The product, as we have already learned from previous messages, was Joe Biden, but he was also the personal bank financing the familial exploitation of his office.
Owasco had been at the center of previous Chinese financial transfers to Joe.
On August 8, 2017, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company affiliated with CEFC, sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Gongwen Dong. That same day, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to Owasco, P.C., an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. On August 14, 2017, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by President Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara Biden. On August 28, 2017, Sara Biden withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group. Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden’s personal checking account. On September 3, 2017, Sara Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000 for a “loan repayment.”
Whistleblowers revealed how the DOJ had worked to sabotage any investigation of Owasco.
On December 10th, 2020, the prosecutorial team met again to discuss the next steps. One piece of information that came out of the day of action was that Hunter Biden vacated the Washington, D.C., office of Owasco. His documents all went into a storage unit in northern Virginia. The IRS prepared an affidavit in support of a search warrant for the unit, but AUSA Wolf once again objected. My special agent in charge and I scheduled a call with United States Attorney Weiss on December 14th just to talk about that specific issue. United States Attorney Weiss agreed that if the storage unit wasn’t accessed for 30 days we could execute a search warrant on it. No sooner had we gotten off the call then we heard AUSA Wolf had simply reached out to Hunter Biden’s defense counsel and told him about the storage unit, once again ruining our chance to get to evidence before being destroyed, manipulated, or concealed.
Now we know why they were so worried.

“What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family,” Bobulinski said. “I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to ‘the big guy’ in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other ‘JB’ referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother. Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”
Since Biden’s inauguration, the University of Pennsylvania has disclosed at least $14 million in donations from China or Hong Kong, the Free Beacon reported last week. The names of these donors have yet to be disclosed by the Department of Education, breaking the precedent of prior administrations which published foreign donor names in a public database.
James Comer: Joe Biden Received ‘Direct Monthly Payments’ from Hunter’s ‘Owasco PC’ Business Account
President Joe Biden received “direct monthly payments” from Hunter Biden’s “Owasco PC” business account, which received “payments from Chinese-state linked companies and other foreign nationals and companies,” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News on Monday.
Comer’s revelation amplifies concerns raised by Republicans that Joe Biden is compromised. It also provides more evidence to support an impeachment inquiry into the president.

An Oversight Committee aide told Breitbart News the committee is aware of at least three monthly payments for $1,380 on the following dates:
- September 17, 2018
- October 15, 2018
- November 15, 2018
Owasco PC is an entity involved in many complicated wire transfers of the Biden business, Breitbart News previously reported:
- Joe Biden received $40,000 in “China money” from his brother disguised as loan repayment.
- An email from a bank money laundering investigator flagged concerns about the “China money” that ultimately funded the $40,000.
- The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden and Owasco PC for tax violations.
“This wasn’t a payment from Hunter Biden’s personal account but an account for his corporation that received payments from China and other shady corners of the world,” Comer said. “Joe Biden claimed there was an ‘absolute wall’ between his official government duties and his family’s influence peddling schemes. This was a lie.”
“At this moment, Hunter Biden is under an investigation by the Department of Justice for using Owasco PC for tax evasion and other serious crimes,” Comer said. “And based on whistleblower testimony, we know the Justice Department made a concerted effort to prevent investigators from asking questions about Joe Biden.”

Since launching its investigation into the Biden business, the House Oversight Committee identified more than 20 shell companies and $24 million dollars the business raked in between 2015 and 2019 by peddling Joe Biden as “the brand.”
