Hunter Biden Lobbied the State Department in 2016 on behalf of Corrupt Romanian National Records Show
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 5/17/23 | Chuck Ross

While his father was vice president in 2016, Hunter Biden met with a State Department official on behalf of a Romanian businessman who paid the troubled first son more than $1 million to help his corruption case, raising questions about whether the younger Biden engaged in unregistered foreign lobbying.

A review of emails and documents on Hunter Biden's laptop reveal a March 2016 meeting with then-U.S. ambassador to Romania Hans Klemm on the topic of a corruption case against Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian real estate tycoon. Popoviciu made more than $1 million in wire payments to Biden from November 2015 to June 2017 as he battled the corruption charges in his home country, according to a report released last week by the House Oversight Committee. While on Popoviciu's payroll, Biden met twice with Klemm, first in November 2015 and again in March 2016.

Hunter did a lot of "lobbying" on behalf of foreign entities during that time period. Just search FR with the phrase "Hunter Biden Lobbied" as the title search, and you will find articles dating back several years. Large sums of money was deposited in the Biden family's accounts as payment for that lobbying.

I wonder if any of that money made it into the accounts of reporters for the NYTs, WaPo, and WSJ? I suspect there is good money to be made by reporting nothing.

Unregistered foreign lobbying is only illegal when some people do it.

Washington DC filled with private school losers like Hunter? Living high on the hog with ‘elite’ parents in the background. Or WOKE sexual weirdos in Mansions earning less than $150,000 a year?

How do they do it?

It’s time to investigate democrat scum living in Mansions selling out the country... and that includes ‘intelligence’ scum.

If YOU know one, turn ‘em in to Jesse Watters.

Paraphrasing George Carlin — “It’s a big club — and Paul’s not in it.”
