http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...-chinese-government/ Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden inked a billion-dollar deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China just 10 days after the father and son flew to China in 2013. The Biden bombshell is one of many revealed in a new investigative book Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends by Government Accountability Institute President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer. Schweizer’s last book, Clinton Cash, sparked an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. According to an exclusive New York Post excerpt from the book, the Biden billion-dollar China deal occurred as follows. In 2013, Hunter Biden and the stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry, Chris Heinz, were managing partners in the private equity firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. In December of that year, Vice President Biden and his son Hunter flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Ten days after the trip, a subsidiary of the Bank of China named Bohai Capital signed an exclusive deal with Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz’s Rosemont to form a $1 billion joint-investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST. The deal was later increased to $1.5 billion. “The Chinese government was literally funding a business that they co-owned along with the sons of two of America’s most powerful decision makers,” writes Schweizer in Secret Empires. Neither Joe Biden or John Kerry have yet to comment on how the son of a sitting vice president and the stepson of a Secretary of State were permitted to bag a billion-dollar deal with the Communist Chinese government—nor whether they had any knowledge or involvement in the deal. | ||

Par for the course; they're democrats, what do you expect...ethical behavior? Show me an honest democrat and I'll show you a unicorn. ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

What did they do that Hillary Clinton hasn't already done a hundred times? ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||

Don't know about this instance, but there is ample evidence that the Clinton Foundation was really a slush fund for criminals (really, Bill and Hillary?). And there seems to be a pattern where close friends/family of ranking politicians get gov't fat contracts (Feinstein and Boxer come to mind). I believe in the iceberg principle here. What we see above the surface attracts attention. What we don't see below the surface is larger and more damaging. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Given her decades in the public arena, I think a hundred times is a bit conservative. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I was referring to the deal being fishy, not the story. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

And we probably will never know the size of the total iceberg below the surface of the water. | |||

When you want/need to hear a certain tune, you have to talk to the organ grinder, not the monkey. All they did was wrangle an intro to the organ grinder(s). Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

But I am not so sure the monkey didn't have some influence, and get some benefit, from the deal. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I'm sure this will get wall to wall coverage on the networks... LOL, I kill myself! “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

OK bama, another screen cleaning here. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||
