Comer Reveals How Joe Biden Received Laundered China Money

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today released a video and bank records memorandum revealing how Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered China 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 trail begins in July 2017 when Hunter Biden demanded payment from his Chinese Communist Party (CCP) linked associate. On July 30, 2017, Hunter Biden sent a message to Raymond Zhao—a CEFC associate—demanding a $10 million dollar capital payment and claimed his father, Joe Biden, was sitting in the room. CEFC is a Chinese energy company linked to the CCP. The Bidens began working with CEFC when Joe Biden was Vice President.

Courts Strike a Blow Against White House‘s Social Media Censorship | Opinion

The plaintiffs in the case, led by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, eminent doctors, and others alleged that under guise of combating „mis-, dis-, and mal-information,“ the Biden White House and nearly a dozen federal agencies have, alongside private-sector cutouts, cajoled and colluded with Big Tech platforms to silence millions of Americans. The topics social media platforms have censored at the government‘s direction, measuring likely hundreds of millions of posts, range from the Hunter Biden laptop story, to matters of election integrity, to virtually every aspect of the coronavirus pandemic.

Double blow of inquiry and son’s indictment create tough stretch for Biden

That came two days after House Republicans opened a formal impeachment inquiry centered on whether the president benefited from his son’s business dealings, although they have produced little, if any, evidence to that effect.

AG Garland appoints Hunter Biden investigator David Weiss special counsel

„I‘m here today to announce the appointment of David Weiss as a special counsel consistent with the Department of Justice regulations governing such matters.

His appointment as special counsel indicates that, contrary to Hunter‘s defense lawyers‘ claims, the Justice Department investigation into President Biden‘s son is not over.

Trump pleaded „not guilty“ to four federal counts stemming from alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Biden. It’s his second federal indictment and third criminal indictment in the span of less than five months.

Glenn Greenwald verlässt ‚The Intercept‘: „CIA und Deep State sind die Helden der ‚liberalen Linken’“

Das Phänomen, dass sich als „links“ einordnende Journalisten gemeinsam mit dubiosen Geheimdienst-Mitarbeitern Enthüllungen über Biden sabotieren, erklärt Greenwald in dem Interview folgendermaßen, und er weist dabei auf die Gefahren dieser Koalition hin:

„Die CIA hat sich vom ersten Tag an dem Ziel verschrieben, die Trump-Regierung zu sabotieren. Aus diesem Grund wurden die CIA und die Akteure des Deep State zu Helden der „liberalen Linken“. Die Unterstützer der Demokratischen Partei sind nun in einer starken Verbindung mit Neocons, Bush-Cheney-Mitarbeitern, der CIA, dem Silicon Valley und der Wall Street. Diese starke Machtgruppe – gemeinsam mit den Medien des Mainstreams – wird bei einem Wahlsieg mindestens einen Teil der Macht erringen, wenn nicht die ganze Macht.“

Article on Joe and Hunter Biden Censored By The Intercept

(29.10.2020)

All of these new materials, the authenticity of which has never been disputed by Hunter Biden or the Biden campaign, raise important questions about whether the former Vice President and current front-running presidential candidate was aware of efforts by his son to peddle influence with the Vice President for profit, and also whether the Vice President ever took actions in his official capacity with the intention, at least in part, of benefitting his son‘s business associates. But in the two weeks since the Post published its initial story, a union of the nation‘s most powerful entities, including its news media, have taken extraordinary steps to obscure and bury these questions rather than try to provide answers to them.

Biden rips Hunter Biden email leak as ‚smear campaign,‘ says Russia trying to spread disinformation

“From what I‘ve read and know the intelligence community warned the president that Giuliani was being fed disinformation from the Russians,” Biden said. „We also know that– Putin is trying very hard to spread disinformation about Joe Biden… And so when you put the combination of Russia, Giuliani– the president, together– it‘s just what it is.

Biden added: “It‘s a smear campaign because he has nothing he wants to talk about.”

Biden relies on pattern of activity to blame Russia for release of data from what is said to be his son’s laptop

The Biden campaign’s decision to lean into accusations of Russian involvement in the episode, despite lacking specific proof, risks eroding public trust in U.S. allegations of foreign election interference if the suspicions in this case turn out to be unfounded, according to intelligence and foreign policy experts. Trump already has undermined such trust by casting doubt on proved Russian interference on his behalf during the 2016 campaign and denigrating U.S. intelligence officials.
