Federal criminal investigation Hunter Biden focuses on his business dealings (Update: DOJ appoints special counsel) (1 Viewer)

[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.

If Hunter Biden is a big deal what is this?
========================
In early 2021, as Donald Trump exited the White House, he and his son-in-law Jared Kushner faced unprecedented business challenges.

Revenue at Trump’s properties had plummeted during his presidency, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters made his brand even more polarizing. Kushner, whose last major business foray had left his family firm needing a $1.2 billion bailout, faced his own political fallout as a senior Trump aide.


But one ally moved quickly to the rescue.


The day after leaving the White House, Kushner created a company that he transformed months later into a private equity firm with $2 billion from a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Kushner’s firm structured those funds in such a way that it did not have to disclose the source, according to previously unreported details of Securities and Exchange Commission forms reviewed by The Washington Post.

His business used a commonly employed strategy that allows many equity firms to avoid transparency about funding sources, experts said.

A year after his presidency, Trump’s golf courses began hosting tournaments for the Saudi fund-backed LIV Golf. Separately, the former president’s family company, the Trump Organization, secured an agreement with a Saudi real estate company that plans to build a Trump hotel as part of a $4 billion golf resort in Oman.


The substantial investments by the Saudis in enterprises that benefited both men came after they cultivated close ties with Mohammed while Trump was in office — helping the crown prince’s standing by scheduling Trump’s first presidential trip to Saudi Arabia, backing him amid numerous international crises and meeting with him repeatedly in D.C. and the kingdom, including on a final trip Kushner took to Saudi Arabia on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack……..

Ryan Grim had a good article on that years ago that implicates Kushner passing along top secret information about MBS's enemies in KSA. His possible reward? 2 billion, along with a bailout on the 666th 5th Avenue debt?

If the very worst scenario of Hunter Biden, and Ukraine/Chinese corruption are true. It doesn't reach what we already know about Kushner.

Saudi Crown Prince Boasted That Jared Kushner Was “In His Pocket”

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told confidants that Kushner discussed the names of royal family members opposed to his power grab.

theintercept.com

In late October, Jared Kushner made an unannounced trip to Riyadh, catching some intelligence officials off guard. “The two princes are said to have stayed up until nearly 4 a.m. several nights, swapping stories and planning strategy,” the Washington Post’s David Ignatius reported at the time.

What exactly Kushner and the Saudi royal talked about in Riyadh may be known only to them, but after the meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed told confidants that Kushner had discussed the names of Saudis disloyal to the crown prince, according to three sources who have been in contact with members of the Saudi and Emirati royal families since the crackdown. Kushner, through his attorney’s spokesperson, denies having done so

I have never seen a single conservative talk about this story. This one has teeth, and multiple sources to back it up.

Interesting thread about the “laptop”. The entire computer repair story is possibly made up, and if so, I would think House Rs will just quietly drop the whole story.



There is a thread. Essentially she is saying that the original laptop was left at a doctor’s office, where somebody made a copy before it was returned. And the copy was given directly to Stone and Bannon, who added all the child porn stuff and other things in order to make it more sensational. At some point Rudy also added in some stuff.

Where did the doctor story originate and who first reported it? You guys keep referencing it like it's been proven, but nobody has posted a link to the original article. If nobody can post a link to the original article, I'll assume it's not true.

Fine, I can’t find it because I didn’t bookmark it. As I recall it was from a filing by Hunter Biden‘s attorney. I don’t care if you believe it or not, LOL, matters not one whit to me.

What did you think about the Saudi’s cozy relationship with Kushner that J-DONK referenced in the post directly above yours? Does that sort of corruption move the needle for you at all?

Yes that Saudi Kushner relationship is concerning and deserves an investigation, but the Republicans, the media and the national security state didn't work together to censor or suppress that story like the Democrats, media and national security state did with the Hunter Biden story before the election.

There is no Hunter Biden story. Hunter Biden is not in government. He never was in the Obama administration either when his father was VP. It just crushes you that there is nothing there.

Notice there's no walk-back or admission that there wasn't anything there illegal, or anything considering an admission that he might have been wrong (or more specifically the sources he regularly spams the board).

No, we have goal post moving:

but the Republicans, the media and the national security state didn't work together to censor or suppress that story like the Democrats, media and national security state did with the Hunter Biden story before the election.

He posts this crap without the least bit if irony that he started the thread.......wait for it.......BEFORE THE ELECTION FROM A MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCE.

But now, in a bit of goal-post moving, now the thread isn't specifically about Hunter Biden and his corruption that extends to the president, but it's about the OMGLOLz the "corporate media and the national security state" cabal to suppress the story.

Nevermind the fact that because he doesn't read and spreads lies and misinformation, the fact that the main "corporate media" culprit DID cover the story before the election and that HE originally posted it on this board.

Not that his credibility on these issues was worth anything, but this example is just insulting to anyone with 5th grade reading skills. The posting pattern, too resembles witnessing or propaganda: Gish gallop the board with so much Bullcrap (half of which he doesn't read), then when others do his homework for him, just like now move the goal posts.

Now the focus isn't on Hunter Biden's possible corrupt effect on the Biden administration, but a media cover-up--goal post moving, but his hubris is assuming others don't read--like him.

What is CRT? Define it correctly or shut your keyboard off.

As for reading comprehension? You have provided nothing to prove anything.

So another personal attack because you cannot address the issues raised with logic and reason.

If it was in a court filing, there are serious repercussions for that attorney if it’s a lie. But you go ahead and believe Roger Stone, Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani if that’s who you have faith in.

Well, they’re the ultimate source for the “laptop” or at least a whole lot of the files on it. So, it’s good to hear you don’t believe the stuff on the laptop that they put there.

Hunter was selling influence to his Dad. Try to keep up. The biggest part of the Hunter Biden story is the censorship/restricting by social media, the Democrats, and the corporate media.

Just another SFL lie. Provide actual proof. The so-called censorship occurred when Biden was a private citizen. As for selling influence let’s list the traitor Trump’s deals, shall we? Ivanka’s trademark deal, Kushner’s deals with the Saudis, Trump hotel deal in Moscow. Trump demanded censorship. Republicans have done the same. Republican media (read: corporate media) pushed the big lie as truth. Republicans lie when they open their mouths. You want it so bad to be true. Unfortunately the selling of our country occurred under a Republican watch.
