THE BIDEN RECORD OF CORRUPTION
The author to whom this piece is attributed IS a real person (Wikipedia). Visits to several fact checker sites for his name produced NOTHING!
If what this man has written is even half true (and my research indicates it’s ALL true), he’d better beef up his security or avoid buying green bananas.
Every citizen needs to see this. If they remain Democrats and/or support this guy for POTUS or object to as thorough an ANAL PROBING as they’ve given Trump, they need to be institutionalized.

IT IS AMAZING, BUT NOT SURPRISING.
For decades Joe Biden has used his political position to enrich his family.
Joe Biden has a brother and one living son. Consider:
1. During the US occupation of Iraq, while Biden was Vice President, the
construction firm Hillstone International, which employed brother James as
executive vice president, received a $1.5 billion US Government contract for
construction of buildings in Iraq. James had no experience in construction or in Iraq — having only joined the construction firm the previous year.
2. In 1996, fresh out of law school. Hunter Biden was given a $100,000 position on the board of one of Joe’s largest donors, MBNA bank, while he was also his father’s campaign manager. Eventually Hunter became the bank’s senior vice president. Joe Biden was jokingly referred to as “the senator from MBNA”. He famously supported legislation to protect MBNA from credit card-related bankruptcy filings.
3. Biden’s son Hunter is a recovering cocaine addict who has been in and out of rehab. Yet Biden used his clout as Vice President in 2013 to get Hunter a special exception to become an officer in the US Navy. Hunter was cashiered from the Navy for cocaine use in 2014.
4. In 2009 one of Hunter’s companies received $130 million in federal bailout loan money via the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility,or TALF. The payments began three weeks after the incorporation of Hunter’s company. Joe Biden supported the TALF program, delaying his 2009 resignation as senator just before taking office as Vice President to cast his final vote to increase TALF funding.
5. As President Obama’s point man for China, Vice President Biden flew to China to lead trade negotiations, taking his son with him on Air Force Two. Ten days after negotiations concluded and he and his father returned to America, Hunter’s private equity firm, shared with John Kerry’s stepson and a Chinese partner called Rosemont-Seneca-Bohai, received contracts totaling some $1.5 billion, Hunter’s take from this deal would have been some $20 million.
Joe Biden was attacked in the media for negotiating a trade deal too favorable to China. Bohai has since been revealed to be an arm of the Bank of China, heavily influenced by the Chinese military. Rosemont-Seneca-Bohai has invested some of the Chinese money in buying a US company which controls significant defense-related information and made several deals involving dual-use technology, all of which were approved by the government while Joe Biden was Vice President.
6. As Obama’s point man for Ukraine, Joe Biden was directly involved with issues of corruption in a country notorious for same. Following an election in Ukraine, the energy company Burisma came under serious investigation for corruption. In April 2014, Hunter Biden was named to the Burisma board. Three days later, Joe Biden announced plans for the US to buy some $50 million in gas from Ukraine. Burisma is the largest gas producer in that country. The deal was so clearly Dirty that Chris Heinz, Kerry’s stepson, ended his business relationship with Hunter.
Ukrainian State Prosecutor Viktor Shokin continued the investigation of Burisma. Shokin was widely regarded as corrupt. Ukrainian authorities raided the home of the Burisma owner. Three weeks later Burisma officials met with State Department officials, including Secretary Kerry, using Hunter Biden’s name and urging the United States to get Ukraine to call off the dogs.
In mid-2016, Joe Biden met with senior Ukrainian officials, threatening to withhold $1 billion in aid funds if they did not fire Shokin within six hours. Shokin was fired. Hunter was still on the Burisma Board and that firm is still under Ukrainian investigation. Biden claims that he was simply carrying out US policy in demanding Shokin’s removal but the conflict of interest is obvious, which may have involved bribery and extortion by Biden.
The pattern is clear: the Biden family history is corrupt. To suggest, as House Democrats and their allies in the media have, that Joe Biden cannot be investigated for any of this due to his presidential candidacy — while simultaneously impeaching Donald Trump for alleged similar activity —is to hypocritically cover up scandal and possible crimes.
