    Bank Investigator Raised Concerns About Money from China that Ultimately Funded $40,000 Payment to Joe Biden

    And more evidence and statements by investigators trained and ferreting out such illegal activity and corruption.



    WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today released an email from a bank money laundering investigator who flagged serious concerns about money from China that ultimately funded the $40,000 check to Joe Biden.

    “Long before our investigation into President Biden’s corruption, a bank money laundering investigator raised the exact concerns that we raised publicly about the Biden family business: ‘payments appear erratic,’ ‘does not appear to have any services rendered,’ ‘no current business purpose,’ and ‘China target children of politicians and purchase of political influence through ‘sweetheart deals.’ Those are the words of a bank investigator who was just doing his job. The bank investigator was so concerned about Hunter Biden’s financial transactions with the Chinese company, he wanted to re-evaluate the bank’s relationship with the customer,” said Chairman Comer.

    “Even worse, we know that the sitting President of the United States knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family’s shady China dealings. Joe Biden showed up to his son’s CEFC meetings and benefited from the money wired from China. The White House and their Corporate Media allies’ efforts to excuse and coverup this blatant corruption is appalling to the American people. House Republicans will continue to unearth the facts and provide the accountability the American people deserve,” continued Chairman Comer.

    An email obtained by Chairman Comer’s subpoena reveals the bank investigator’s concerns about the initial $5 million funding from Northern International Capital Holdings, a CEFC affiliated entity linked to the Chinese government, and the subsequent erratic payments to Hudson West III, Hunter Biden’s joint venture with a Chinese national, and Owasco, P.C, an entity owned by Hunter Biden. The bank investigator emphasized how Hudson West III did not have any investment projects at the time, yet money was being paid to Owasco, P.C. without any services provided. The bank investigator also noted China’s pattern of targeting children of politicians to purchase political influence through “sweetheart deals.”

    Chairman Comer recently revealed how Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered money from the account of his brother, James Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check. The money that landed in Joe Biden’s bank account was funded by a complex web of financial transactions that began with the initial $5 million funding from Northern International Capital Holdings. On August 8, 2017, Northern International Capital sent $5 million to Hudson West III. That same day, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to Owasco, P.C. On August 14, 2017, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, LLC, 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 and then deposited the money into her and James Biden’s personal checking account on the same day. On September 3, 2017, Sara Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000 for a “loan repayment.”

    Note the

    "The bank investigator emphasized how Hudson West III did not have any investment projects at the time, yet money was being paid to Owasco, P.C. without any services provided."

    And I keep asking all the Bideners to explain exactly what was the product or service the Bidens were being paid to provide to our worse foreign adversaries in exchange these millions this investigator turned up.

    Anyone got an answer yet?

    I keep asking what about the previous, unequivical statements by The Big Guy that no one in the family got any money from China and certainly he never benefitted. Are those no longer operatable statments?

    Bought and paid for, and these are the receipts.... The real question, really, is: is this practice so prevalent, how widely does this practice pervade the political folks in our nation? And is that really why so many folks haven't wanted to deal with Biden directly?

    Or they payoff we have in Hunter's text message to the chairman about you better pay up for the money we agreed on because I and The Big Guy can make your life hell.

    Is this where you admit they indeed were getting money from China in spite of their denials?

    If this was not illegal why does Joe keep denying the family took money from Chinese businessmen? Why not just come clean?

    I'm sure if somebody looked at every one of my bank transactions and tracks them far enough, you can probably find I ULTIMATELY partially funded the 9/11 attacks....

    Apparently the big guy had influence when he was both in and out of office. Why else would Hunter use mention his father as a threat to people who he wants money from?

    Now the question is, what strings was Biden able to pull to help out Hunter's business partners and who in government assisted him? If Biden had no influence with government officials then why would anyone pay him?

    SAME Question = Same Answer:

    [​IMG]
    For the Umpteenth Time:
    My Suggestion:
    1) Ask THEM
    2) Try Google or any other search engine of your choice
    3) IF 1) and 2) lead someone to a Dead End, it would seem that asking random anonymous people on an internet forum for such an answer is extremely unlikely to yield a result...
    ^That is REALITY!

    (However, it is clear that going around in circles must do wonders for the post count)...

    So now it’s illegal for a private citizen to influence govt officials?
    And nobody paid Joe, at least not that we’ve seen so far.

    When did Joe ever deny that his family ever did business with China? Or was that just something you made up? And why are you okay with the Trump family doing business with China, but not okay with the Bidens doing the same, especially since the Trumps did so WHILE in office?

    Biden said his son earned no money from China. His son says otherwise. - The Washington Post

    No, it was just something you didn't know.

    It's not really the same, but you already knew that. If you want to argue they are, go ahead and list all the services the Biden grandchildren provided.

    Hunter knew the businessmen he was dealing with were connected with Chinese intelligence, calling one of them "the Spy Chief of China", funny how he caught a ride with old Joe on AF2 to China, but Joe claims he didn't know anything about anything.

    Voicemail shows Joe Biden knew of Hunter's China dealings: report (nypost.com)

    The voicemail, discovered on a cellphone backup contained on Hunter Biden’s infamous discarded laptop, would appear to contradict President Biden’s continued denial that he ever talked with his disgraced 52-year-old son about his overseas business transactions — and was aware they could be improper.

    “Hey pal, it’s Dad,” Joe Biden said, the Daily Mail reported. “It’s 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance, just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you.”

    Biden then made his intentions clear.

    “I thought the article released online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good,” Biden continued. “I think you’re clear. And anyway if you get a chance, give me a call, I love you.”

    During a campaign appearance in Iowa in September 2019, Joe Biden said, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.” His former press secretary, Jen Psaki, and his chief of staff, Ron Klain, have both repeatedly echoed that sentiment.

    *
    The Biden voicemail followed a Times report on Dec. 12, 2018, detailing Hunter’s dealings with Ye Jianming, a “fast-rising” Chinese oil tycoon who headed CEFC China Energy Company in 2016 before being arrested two years later amid allegations of economic crimes.


    Hunter Biden's participation in the trip has raised additional questions about why the elder Biden, while in office, did not do more to ensure his son’s overseas business interests did not intersect with his work as vice president, or at least avoid the perception of potential conflicts of interest.

    “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said last month.

    Biden's trip to China with son Hunter in 2013 comes under new scrutiny (nbcnews.com)

    Ok, I'm glad you admit the Bidens did business in China and that's a good thing. Now what did the Bidens do to earn the money they made in China? Also, has Trump ever denied doing business in China?

    BTW, a lot of companies do business in China and make money. Google does it, Apple does it, the NBA does it. Do you have a Tik Tok account?

    The Bidens are proven tax cheats. And why do you lefties constantly feel the need to go all Trump Trump Trump in nearly every thread?

    Yawn. Republicans think doing business with Chinese citizens is corruption, yet had no issues with the previous administration doing business with China while in office.

    On it's surface, this would not be considered a criminal transaction. It's been almost a full year of searching for a single transaction where Joe Biden himself profited from Hunter Biden's business dealings. Here we have a supposed loan repayment from Joe Biden's sister in-law, with no conclusion on whether or not that money was in fact initially borrowed from Joe Biden, what the loan was for, or whether or not Joe Biden profited from the transaction.

    In short, we still don't have a single example of Joe Biden profiting from Hunter's business dealings, not to mention an example of executive power being used for said profit.

    Are you saying the Bidens don't have tax problems?
