As the San Francisco Chronicle noted, the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for 20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China trade she supported.”
How Joe Biden's Pick for Secretary of State
Might Have a Hunter Biden Problem
Antony Blinken is a longtime member of the Obama-Biden circle. He was Deputy Secretary of State and Deputy National Security Adviser under Obama. He also served as Deputy National Security Adviser to Vice President Joe Biden. He’s been tapped to be our next secretary of state if all the legal avenues become dead ends for the Trump legal team concerning the 2020 voter irregularities that have been documented. Still, Biden is making his picks—and this one is interesting because, well, Hunter might be involved.
Remember that lie Joe told about not knowing what
Hunter was doing which got blown up when his son’s emails were revealed by The New York Post? Joe knew what Hunter was
doing. In 2014-15, Joe was heading up U.S. policy efforts in Ukraine. Hunter
was placed on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, despite his lack
of experience, getting paid $50k/month to reportedly sell access to top Obama
officials. Well, Joe was introduced to the executives of Burisma by Hunter. Joe
also fired the top prosecutor looking into the company on corruption
allegations. The company expected access and protection from Hunter. They got
both. And now we have details that Hunter wanted to meet with Blinken after he
had joined Burisma (via Fox
News):
BREAKING: State
Department emails reveal that after joining Burisma’s board, Hunter Biden
requested meetings with then-Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is
now Joe Biden's pick for Secretary of State
— Paul Sperry

New Secretary of State pick Antony
Blinken has a long-standing relationship with President-elect Joe Biden going
back to their days in the Obama administration, but State Department emails
revealed that during that time Blinken appeared to have made a connection with
Hunter Biden as well.
In the weeks leading up to the 2020
election, Hunter Biden was the subject of reports about business dealings in
Ukraine and China and possible links to his father. Records show that the
younger Biden also had ties to Blinken, having scheduled meetings with him
while he was on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and Blinken was
deputy secretary of state.
"Have a few minutes next week to
grab a cup of coffee? I know you are impossibly busy, but would like to get
your advice on a couple of things," Hunter Biden said in a May 22, 2015
email to Blinken that the State Department released in 2019, pursuant to a
Freedom of Information Act request.
"Absolutely,"
Blinken replied. Several emails followed discussing logistics. A separate email
from Blinken's assistant on May 27, 2015, listed his schedule for that day. It
included a meeting with Hunter Biden set for 3:30 p.m.
The meeting didn’t happen because Beau Biden passed
away, but the stench of the alleged corruption from the Biden family syndicate
is seeping into Joe Biden’s cabinet picks. If Beau had lived, do you think
these two were going to talk about sports, family, or their families? Yeah, and
I’m Guccifer 2.0.—please.

The Bidens sell access. That’s all they do. Tony
Bobulinski exposed that when he turned over all documents and devices from his
time working with Hunter on a deal with CEFC China Energy, which fell through
in 2017. But this arrangement was done with Joe’s full knowledge. It started
when Joe was still VPOTUS and it’s clear he was banking on using the office to
secure a lucrative deal here. The family still got millions as a personal loan
from the Chinese; CEFC also has ties, unsurprisingly, to the communist
government. Alas, the arrival of the Biden doctrine: get paid and ask questions
later.
I doubt the media will cover the Hunter ties. They
suffocated that bombshell story with a pillow, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t
exist. Hunter Biden is not going away. If the GOP keeps the Senate, hearings
are happening. If we can retake the House in 2022, the House should launch an
investigation into this circus as well.

THE CASE
AGAINST LAWYER HUNTER BIDEN
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2020/10/the-lawless-lawyer-class-case-against.html
Together James and Hunter Biden had built a business around Joe
Biden. But what happened in Pennsylvania, in St. Louis, and Arkansas ended with
more than greed.
Americans don’t want the corrupt in
power. It’s that simple. If Hillary Clinton’s foundation peddled access to her
when she was secretary of state; this is much worse. How could a
compromised Biden ever stand up to countries like China and Russia, which have
already paid his family millions?

But aides to Ms. Harris said that in these and other cases, she hewed to the

Some might argue that Joe
was just trying to help his son by shlepping him all over the world and
introducing him to business opportunities with, among others, anti-American
Chinese communists or deeply corrupt Ukrainian energy oligarchs. There’s
increasingly strong evidence, though, that Joe got cuts from the money flowing
to Hunter. Thus, Joe deliberately used his damaged son for his personal profit.
That’s obscene.
Hunter Biden’s laptop was a national security nightmare
On Saturday, Britain’s Daily
Mail reported that Hunter Biden’s laptop is a nationally security
nightmare, containing contact information for 1,500 powerful or famous people,
including the Clintons, most of Obama’s cabinet, and Secret Service officers,
all of it protected by this password: “Hunter02.” This security disaster is all
on Joe Biden. Despite
knowing about his son’s drug problems, Biden still pushed him into business
deals and did nothing to secure the critical information he knew his son
possessed.
Let me take a moment to discuss Hunter’s
drug addiction, which has both private and public aspects. In many ways, Hunter
is a tragic figure. He was in a major car accident when he was two, which killed
his mother and sister. Significantly, he suffered a severe head injury in the
accident, which may have led to his later struggles with drugs and alcohol.
And Hunter has struggled. When you read
many of the personal texts and emails from his computer, this is a deeply
troubled, unhappy man. Like all such damaged men, he vacillates between
delusions of grandeur and an awareness of his terrible failings.
Hunter is also a man who has engaged in
debauched and, possibly, morally evil behavior. Despite his addictions, that’s
on him. Still, were Hunter a person in a normal situation, those failings, even
the moral or criminal ones, would be a matter of local concern, not one of
national exposure.
So why am I writing about Hunter if I
acknowledge that his failings, no matter how bad, are personal? I have to.
Hunter’s dad, Joe, who ostensibly loved him, nevertheless made this fragile,
damaged, debauched human being the frontman for the Biden family concerns.
Some might argue that Joe was just
trying to help his son by shlepping him all over the world and introducing him
to business opportunities with, among others, anti-American Chinese communists
or deeply corrupt Ukrainian energy oligarchs. There’s increasingly strong
evidence, though, that Joe got cuts from the money flowing to Hunter. Thus, Joe
deliberately used his damaged son for his personal profit. That’s obscene.
Moreover, it appears that Joe, by giving
his careless son access to corrupt foreigners, anti-American foreigners, along
with the inner workings of the American government, created a national security
nightmare. It wasn’t only that the Chinese had blackmail material thanks to all
the sex and drugs that made up Hunter’s life, it was also that any fifth-grader
could hack into Hunter’s computer . . . which brings us to the Daily
Mail.
The problem wasn’t just that Hunter,
perhaps while high on drugs, abandoned his laptop at a random Mac repair shop
in Wilmington. It’s that the computer contained a trove of highly confidential
information. The laptop should have gone to a secure government agency for
repair, but Hunter couldn’t and didn’t do that.
Here’s just some of what was on the hard
drive, according to the Daily Mail,
all of it protected by the password “Hunter02”:
- Joe
Biden's personal mobile number and three private email addresses as well
as the names of his Secret Service agents;
- Mobile
numbers for former President Bill Clinton, his wife Hillary and almost
every member of former President Barack Obama's cabinet;
- A
contact database of 1,500 people including actress Gwyneth Paltrow,
Coldplay singer Chris Martin, former Presidential candidate John Kerry and
ex-FBI boss Louis Freeh;
- Personal
documents including Hunter's passport, driver's licence, social security
card, credit cards and bank statements;
- Details
of Hunter's drug and sex problems, including $21,000 spent on one 'live
cam' porn website and 'selfies' of him engaging in sex acts and smoking
crack cocaine;
The Daily Mail quoted
IT expert Chris Greany, who said it was “staggering” that no one had encrypted
the laptop. That’s entirely Joe Biden’s fault. As Vice President of the United
States, with a known drug addict son who got booted from the military, it was
up to Biden to make sure that his son wasn’t exposing these secrets to the
world. Of course, considering that Biden was carelessly and cruelly using his
son, maybe it’s not so surprising that Joe couldn’t be bothered to make sure
Hunter was acting responsibly with national security information.
The Daily Mail reproduces
just two of the documents giving away phone numbers of people who were at the
top of the American government during the Obama administration:
The laptop also contained images of
Hunter’s personal information: his passport, social security number, credit
cards, driver’s license, and personal writings.
Again, it is a mixture of the tragic and the
terrible -- and Joe Biden bears full responsibility for letting someone like
this get so close to the upper echelons of the American government. Likewise,
he should have acted to protect himself and the Obama administration from the
risk of blackmail based upon Hunter acting out his demons. On the evidence,
when it comes to the levers of power, Joe Biden was and still is as
irresponsible as Hunter.
Joe Biden’s Hand in Corruption, Subversion and Crime in
Guatemala
In 2014 and 2015,
then-Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Guatemala three times to pressure the
government to maintain a United Nations body known as the International Commission
Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). CICIG was
established in Guatemala in 2006 under the pretext of prosecuting "crimes
committed by members of illegal security forces and clandestine security
structures," during Guatemala's long civil war. Instead, CICIG -- an
international body unaccountable to Guatemalan law, worked with Guatemala's
Justice Ministry to arrest and jail the left's opponents. Many remain illegally
detained to this day without trial. Two prominent doctors and a Guatemalan
congressman died in jail. All suffered ill
health, did not receive proper treatment
and were detained much longer than legally allowed. None got a trial. All were
absolved following their deaths.
Biden met with
then-Guatemalan President Otto Pérez Molina, who did not want to renew CICIG's
charter. The Obama administration had promised a $1 billion aid package to
Northern Triangle countries (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador), but Biden
made the aid and upcoming trade agreements contingent upon renewing CICIG's contract. First cajoling then
threatening, Biden finally announced, "The CICIG is
staying, period." Biden used this same tactic in Ukraine, where he bragged about threatening
to withhold loan guarantees until the Ukrainian government fired the
prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden. Biden also sought Pérez's help in
extending CICIG's rule to El Salvador and Honduras.
Pérez reluctantly agreed
to renew CICIG's charter. He was then pressured to resign under accusations of
corruption and stripped by the Guatemalan Congress of legal immunity. The day
after he resigned he was arrested and thrown in jail. He has remained there
ever since, without trial. In a Daily Caller interview from jail, Pérez
called these efforts, "a coup without bullets."
Pérez said that, "CICIG amounts to a new form of U.S.
interference in Guatemala's affairs and that his country has surrendered its
sovereignty over its justice system by allowing the unit to operate."
CICIG's litany of abuses includes arbitrary
arrest, detention and interrogation without charges or trial, fabricated
evidence, illegal break-ins and denial of due process, pretrial detention for
years longer than allowed by Guatemalan law and many other abuses. Some of the
charges it has brought are valid, given endemic corruption in Guatemala. But
CICIG's goal was not to stem corruption, rather to use it as a pretext to
dispatch the left's enemies and install vastly more corrupt individuals who
will advance the Communist cause in Guatemala.
CICIG's leader from 2013
forward was Ivan Velásquez Gómez, a former judge from Colombia with close ties
to the Colombian narco-terrorist group, FARC. Former Colombian President Alvaro
Uribe has said that as a judge,
Velásquez battled to absolve the Colombian narcoterrorists of their decades of
crime and terrorist atrocities.
In addition to Velásquez
Another key player has been Claudia Paz y Paz, chosen to be Guatemala's
Attorney General in 2010 under pressure from CICIG and Obama's Ambassador to
Guatemala, Stephen McFarland. Paz y Paz is a communist guerrilla sympathizer. Her father was a member
of the Castro-supported Rebel Armed Forces
(FAR) that assassinated U.S. Ambassador John
Gordon Mein in 1968 and Germany's ambassador to Guatemala, Karl von Spreti, two years later.
Paz y Paz oversaw
numerous extra-judicial arrests and confinement of political opponents. She was
accused of giving illegal orders to judges and her own prosecutors, and
shielding from legal action bands of armed leftist militias who roam rural
areas terrorizing the indigenous peoples. The militias are remnants from
Guatemala's civil war, in truth a Castro-supported communist
insurgency (1960-1996).
She particularly targeted
the military, which defeated the communist insurgency with help from the rural
population. Military men have received multiple life sentences for "crimes
against humanity" while judges disbar evidence proving their
innocence and guilt of the guerrillas.
In 2012, a young
prosecutor named Gilda Aguilar attempted to arrest members of one of these
militias. Paz y Paz dropped the charges, calling the militia a
"human-rights group." She threw Aguilar off the case and launched an
investigation of her. Three weeks later Aguilar narrowly escaped an
assassination attempt by the same group. Instead of investigating, the
prosecutor asked the court to dismiss the case -- as though it had never
happened. Aguilar quit and brought dereliction of duty charges against Paz y
Paz.
The Obama administration
pressured President Pérez to assure Paz y Paz's reappointment when her term was
up in 2014, knowing full well the allegations against her. They similarly
supported appointment and advancement of many other radicals, and the State
Department continues to do so.
The indigenous
populations of Guatemala have faced the brunt of the communist offensive in
Guatemala since the beginning of the civil war. With the Obama administration's
full knowledge, armed leftist militias, Paz y Paz's "human rights groups" control rural
areas, sabotage or block desperately needed economic development and engage in
terrorism and crime. The 20-minute video embedded below shares moving testimony from people
terrorized by these groups:
The militias' spread
was enthusiastically supported by the Obama
administration. Their activities dramatically increased with the
administration's promotion of leftists like Judge Gloria Porras and Attorney General
Paz y Paz to influential positions in Guatemala's legal system. The increase in
crime over this period is shown in the colored areas of the map below. They are
referred to charitably as "Social Conflict Zones."
The Obama administration
responded with the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program in
2012. This caused a massive exodus of minors from Northern Triangle nations
illegally entering the U.S. In 2011, the Border Patrol apprehended
only 4,321 minors. That number increased
to 68,541 in 2014. Most came from
Guatemala. The migrant caravans that have since swamped our borders were instigated by Central American
leftists with assistance from tax-exempt and taxpayer-funded, open borders
groups in America. This entire effort was a premeditated campaign by
the Obama administration.
More Biden pay to play?
Former President Pérez
claimed in a Mexican Newsweek article that Biden
pressured him to support a Guatemalan contract with the pharmaceutical firm
Baxter International. He said, "We had pressure from Vice President Biden,
not only when he came to Guatemala, but when I visited Washington, to grant a
contract to Baxter…" Pérez asserted that:
Biden is a partner of
Baxter Pharmaceuticals and [he] mentioned that even the U.S. Embassy in the
country requested the meeting with his private secretary and his general
secretary so they could influence Baxter to win the bid. "They were
accompanied by embassy staff, Baxter representatives, to ask us and tell us
that Baxter had that contract and that Baxter should win it back," he
said.
Pérez's claims were
repeated by Julia Amparo Lotán Garzona, the former labor sector representative
of the Executive Board of the Guatemalan Institute for Social Security. In
testimony before the Guatemalan Truth Commission investigating
CICIG, she said:
What we can confirm is
that not only this closeness between Baxter and Biden, but we can also confirm
that the embassy asked for the meeting with the secretary, but that Otto Pérez
Molina, my private secretary and the secretary general were able to influence
Baxter to win the bid. "Isn't that influence peddling? - Otto Pérez Molina
pointed out, it is influence peddling…. (Translated with DeepL Translator)
According to Truth
Commission testimony, CICIG jailed employees of Guatemala's social security
system, including Garzona, a nurse and union representative, without trial, on
the pretext that all took bribes to replace a
contract for Baxter medical equipment with equipment made in Mexico. This
action was widely viewed as yet another abuse of power by CICIG, and included
some people close to President Pérez. Was it coincidental that this
occurred at the same time Biden was lobbying Pérez to extend
CICIG's contract, while also lobbying him on behalf of Baxter? Pérez
ultimately agreed to both.
We have been unable to confirm
a Biden financial interest in Baxter, but in his book, Promise Me, Dad, Biden
stated: "The President asked me to take over the job of repairing our
wobbly relations across the entirety of the Americas -- the Northern Triangle,
Brazil, the Caribbean, everything."[1]
According to Peter
Schweizer's new book Profiles in Corruption, Joe Biden met with the
President of Costa Rica in 2009 and a few months later news broke of a
"new multilateral partnership, 'to reform real estate in Latin
America.'" Biden's brother, Frank, envisioned a huge development project
with "thousands of homes, a world-class golf course, casinos, and an
anti-aging center," in the Costa Rican jungle.[2]
To support the project's
energy needs, the Costa Rica National Power and Light Company would build
the Guanacaste Solar Park, the largest solar farm
in the nation -- with Frank's company Sun Fund Americas as a partner, even
though Frank had no experience in the energy field.[3] The
U.S. government provided a $6.5 million loan for the project, and $47.5
for another Sun Fund solar project in
Jamaica.[4]
Given the Biden family's
other pay-to-play schemes in Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and who knows
where else, it would seem reasonable that Biden might expect something in
return for pushing Baxter. In fact, with Biden, it would be surprising if there
were not some quid pro quo.
Guatemala is now on the
cusp of becoming a communist state thanks to Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack
Obama, and their minions. This has also been in the works for decades in
America, but has come out of the closet since President Trump's election.
If Joe Biden is elected
president, this agenda will be turbocharged. Biden's "Build Back
Better" slogan comes directly from the U.N. -- which not
coincidentally calls for socialist redistribution in Latin America -- and the
World Economic Forum, which envisions using the Chinese communist COVID-19
"pandemic" to "reinvent capitalism." Biden will impose
smothering taxes and regulations, fling open the doors to Red China and other
enemy nations, and open the border to an unprecedented flow of migrants from
Central America and nations from across the globe. Amnesty for illegals will
create the "permanent Progressive majority" Democrats seek. Joe Biden
will line his pockets without restraint and we will lose our country. Forever.
This is the most important election in our nation's history.
Vote.

Democrats Dodge the Real Reparations
How about all the damage caused by the China virus and Islamic
terror?
Thu Oct 15, 2020
“As a nation, we can only truly
thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive. Our painful history
of slavery has evolved into structural racism and bias built into and
permeating throughout our democratic and economic institutions.”
That was California Gov. Gavin
Newsom in a September 30 signing
statement for Assembly Bill 3121 which “establishes a nine-member task force to inform
Californians about slavery and explore ways the state might provide
reparations.” For all its faults, California was never part of the Confederacy,
and Californians might wonder about a stronger case for reparations from
damages caused by the China virus.
Evidence points to the Wuhan
Institute of Virology, recipient of funds from the U.S. National Institutes of
Health, which banned “gain of function”
research in 2014 because of danger that a
manipulated virus might be released into the population. The NIH revived the dangerous
research in 2017 but kept it secret. The Wuhan Institute was an ideal place to
hide gain of function, and Anthony Fauci backed the lab with more than $7
million. Dr. Fauci has been evasive about what, exactly, went on at Wuhan but
there can be no dispute about the aftermath.
The China virus claimed more
than 200,000 deaths in the United States alone and touched three leaders of G7
nations: President Trump, British prime minister Boris Johnson, and Canadian
prime minister Justin Trudeau, whose wife Sophie tested positive for the coronavirus in March. The economic
damages are undeniable: millions unemployed, businesses going bankrupt,
mounting debt, and all the social wreckage now on display.
President Trump is on record
that this was all “China’s fault,” and China is going to pay
“a big price” for what they’ve done to
the United States and the world. One U.S. state is already taking measures. In
April, Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit charging that
Chinese Communist officials are “responsible for the
enormous death, suffering, and economic
losses they inflicted on the world, including Missourians.” For Sen.
Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, the Missouri lawsuit was the
problem.
“We launch a series of unknown
events that could be very, very dangerous,” said Feinstein in a July 30, Senate Judiciary Committee
hearing. “I think this is a huge mistake.” And Feinstein had only praise
for China, “as a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of
poverty in a short period of time” and as “a country growing into a respectable
nation among other nations. And I deeply believe that. I’ve been to China a
number of times. I’ve studied the issues.”
Indeed, as Feinstein told James Areddy of
the Wall Street Journal during a 2006 visit to Shanghai, the San Francisco Democrat
had been coming to the Communist nation for 31 years. Feinstein compared
Tiananmen Square to Kent State, and as Rosemarie Ho reported
in The Nation, Democrats in general and Feinstein in particular ignored the
Communist crackdown against Hong Kong.
As
the San
Francisco Chronicle noted, the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for
20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her
own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben
Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s
husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China
trade she supported.”
None of this has touched off an
investigation, which confirms that FBI favors for Democrats go far beyond
Hillary Clinton. A party that functions as a cheerleader for China will not
seek any reparations from China, or any other entity that has inflicted vast
damage on the United States.
On September 11, 2001, Islamic
terrorists claimed nearly 3,000 American lives and caused billions in damages.
If that not a case for reparations, it is hard to know what one would look
like. Democrats made no case, and the president formerly known as Barry Soetoro
shipped billions in cash to Iran, the major sponsor of terrorism in the world.
President Trump pushed back on
terrorism, taking out Iranian master terrorist Soleimani and ISIS boss
al-Baghdadi. Democrats were critical of these actions, and their diversionary
push for slavery reparations has no merit. Neither does Gov. Newsom’s charge of
“structural racism,” which as David Azerrad explains, lacks proof on the historical, legislative, and even the
subconscious level.
The nation can only thrive,
Gov. Newsom contends, “when every one of us has the opportunity to thrive.” As
it happens, the most powerful figure in recent California history is the
African American Willie Brown. The thriving assembly speaker set up his girlfriend Kamala
Harris in lucrative sinecures and backed her
career all the way to candidacy for what she has called a “Harris administration.”
Meanwhile, old-money Democrats
are grooming Gov. Newsom for a presidential run in 2024. Should he succeed, the
nation would never get reparations for terrorism or the China virus. On the
other hand, the entire nation would soon look like California, whose rapid
decline reminds Bill Maher of “Italy in the 70s or
something.” As President Trump says, we’ll have
to see what happens.
Peter Schweizer: Hunter Biden Still Owns Ten Percent of Chinese
Firm BHR
4,583
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s second
son, still owns a ten-percent stake in Chinese company Bohai Harvest RST (BHR),
an investment firm he co-founded with funding from the Bank of China, noted
Peter Schweizer, president of the government accountability Institute, senior
contributor to Breitbart News, and author of Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of
Power by America’s Progressive Elite.
In episode 17 of the Drill Down, entitled “Hunter Biden’s Chinese Fortune,” Schweizer noted that Hunter Biden has not divested from BHR
despite his father’s presidential campaign.
“The idea that Hunter could still profit off of the Chinese
government if his father becomes president remains an incredible potential
conflict [of interest],” observed Schweizer. “A conflict that seems all the
more troubling when Joe Biden continues to dismiss China as a geopolitical threat.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer claimed his client resigned from BHR’s
board of directors, issuing a letter to this effect via the Washington
Post. In September 2019, Schweizer highlighted the Washington Post‘s broad omissions
in reporting on Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings during his father’s
vice-presidential tenure.
The Washington Post‘s Glenn Kessler
framed the aforementioned letter as a response to “Trump folks,” omitting any
mention of Hunter Biden’s ongoing ownership stake in BHR.
Trump folks pushing
a line that Hunter Biden never resigned from board, citing an apparently
outdated database entry. (https://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/bhr-english-4-14-20.pdf …) Now Hunter Biden's lawyer has obtained
letter confirming he did resign in October, as originally reported. https://twitter.com/TimMurtaugh/status/1250585895960481799 …
Tim Murtaugh - Text TRUMP to 88022
Schweizer said, “Biden’s lawyer claims that his client did
resign, and has produced a document from Hunter’s China-based company saying as
much. Maybe. But Hunter’s attorney did not address the more important problem –
the fact that Hunter still owns a piece of the Chinese company, called BHR.”
“[BHR] is an investment vehicle, financed by the government of
China, which has conducted at least two-point-five billion dollars worth of
deals,” added Schweizer, “and Hunter Biden has a ten percent equity piece of
that.”
