Federal criminal investigation Hunter Biden focuses on his business dealings (Update: DOJ appoints special counsel) (4 Viewers)

[SaintForLife]

Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the richest woman in Russia and the widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow, Senate Republicans revealed in their report on the younger Biden’s work in Ukraine.

Baturina is referenced in the 87-page report, which was released Wednesday, addressing her payment to Biden’s investment firm in early 2014.

“Baturina became Russia’s only female billionaire when her plastics company, Inteko, received a series of Moscow municipal contracts while her husband was mayor,” it said in providing background on the businesswoman.

The report described her involvement with Biden as “a financial relationship,” but declined to delve deeper into why the wire transfer was made.

The probe also found that Baturina sent 11 wires transfers between May and December 2015 to a bank account belonging to BAK USA, a tech startup that filed for bankruptcy in March 2019.

Nine of those 11 wire transfers were first sent to Rosemont Seneca Partners, the investment firm founded by Biden and Chris Heinz, stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry, before being transferred to BAK USA.

We all know their is massive corruption on both sides of the aisle. Here is an alleged allegation against Hunter Biden who was allegedly enriching himself because his Dad was Vice President.

This is stupid by Garland. He shouldn't have approved this. There is nothing about this case that required a special council appointment.

I guess now we'll have a special council anytime Republicans throw a hissy fit over nonexistent conspiracies.

This cold be a double edge sword as well. It could result in discovering criminal actions by others, in particular, the sources of these allegations against Hunter Biden and his family.

It just occurred to me that all this "both sides" crap started to get real traction after Trump uttered his disgusting remarks about the Charlottesville racial conflict has having "fine people" on "both sides."

If the investigation is on the up and up, it should branch out into shady stuff Rudy and others did trying to dig up dirt. Rudy just needs to be incarcerated for the rest of his miserable life.

Investigate away.

I have zero problem with it. If DOJ discovers other things that need to be addressed, fine. If they do not, fine.

Maybe SFL will shut his piehole.

Perhaps Garland can be persuaded to investigate Jared’s 2 billion dollar deal and Ivanka’s 500 million dollar trademark deal.

For the new special counsel let‘s move to the shorter thread on Hunter - rather than keep this one going.

Agreed.
