And The Big Guy got half.
The Biden crime family has spent the last few years burying as much of this as they can. I doubt there could even be a full investigation at this point.
The whole family is a disgrace
I did not know that Hunter had “a private equity firm”. I guess that Art stuff paid really, really well.
There has never been a dirtier, more corrupt President than Brandon.
When Putin goes into Ukraine, look for Xi to take out Taiwan.
This is likely a reminder to the Biden Crime Family that China has them by the balls. Between the payola and the underage sex romps, Joe will do nothing to stop the “minor incursions” to come.
Arrest him....
Why, you can’t arrest a President’s offspring. It would be unAmerican and blatantly political.

<><>Biden-linked Lobbyist Bought Island Property from Biden’s Brother, Gave Him Mtg Loan
<><>Lobbyist got two Federal Emergency Mgmt Agency govt contracts worth $5.8M in 2010.
<><> Lobbyist was decade-long Senate staffer for Joe Biden
Financial records reviewed by Politico show that Joe Biden’s brother James sold one of his three parcels of land in the U.S. Virgin Islands at a substantial profit to a well-connected lobbyist who then extended a mortgage to James on the remaining two parcels.
In May 2005, James Biden purchased an acre of land on Water Island for $150,000. He then applied for and received an easement to divide the property into three plots, one of which he sold to lobbyist Scott Green — a decade-long Senate staffer for Joe Biden in the 1980s — for $150,000. James had initially purchased all three parcels for $150,000, meaning that he made his money back and was able to keep the major one acre plot for himself.

Rep. James Comer wants info on Hunter Biden’s ties to Chinese mine sale
By Juliegrace Brufke, January 19, 2022 5:39pm Updated
Rep. James Comer, a top House Oversight Committee member, demands to know Hunter Biden’s alleged role in the sale of a cobalt mine to Chinese firm Molybdenum in 2016.
The leading Republican on the House Oversight Committee is calling on the National Archives to release any information it has related to Hunter Biden’s alleged involvement in the sale of an African cobalt mine to a Chinese company in 2016.
In a letter to Archivist David Ferriero Wednesday, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) requested any documents pertaining to the first son’s potential role in the transaction, arguing the sale posed a potential national security threat by undermining the United States’ capacity to invest in green energy. Cobalt is a key component in electric car batteries.
“The American people deserve answers regarding why the Obama Administration —whether at then-Vice President Biden’s behest or not — watched in silence as an American company transferred control of this precious asset to a Chinese conglomerate and why Hunter Biden was — yet again — involved in international matters on which he has no expertise,” Comer wrote.
The complex transaction was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon during the 2020 presidential campaign, and was spotlighted by the New York Times this past November. It resulted in private equity firm BHR Partners being cut in on the $3.8 billion transaction — which transferred 80 percent of the Tenke Fungurume mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo from Arizona-based mining company Freeport-McMoRan to Beijing-backed China Molybdenum.
Hunter Biden and two other Americans co-founded BHR with several Chinese partners, and the three Americans each controlled 10 percent of the firm at the time of the sale. However, the rest of the company is owned or controlled by Chinese-based investors, including the state-controlled Bank of China.
“The loss of African cobalt mines to the Chinese is a severe blow to the United States’ ability to invest in green technology and lead the world by example,” Comer wrote. “It is potentially a national security threat, and it was a loss orchestrated in no small part by the president’s son.”
“As a 10 percent owner of the firm that brokered a multi-billion-dollar deal, Hunter Biden no doubt made a profit from this massive transaction,” Comer went on. “Unfortunately, such profit has come at great expense to both the United States and the DRC. China has reportedly failed to fulfill its promises to the DRC and established less than adequate safety conditions for mine workers.”
Comer argued that the Obama administration should have intervened to block the sale, claiming that though it was “well aware how important cobalt was about to become to the global economy … it curiously did nothing to intervene in Hunter Biden’s Chinese-backed transaction to facilitate the sale of one of the world’s richest cobalt mines from an American company to a Chinese company.”

The lawmaker requested the Archives hand over any information pertaining to the deal by Feb. 2.
“In this latest episode, Hunter Biden appears to have profited in the short-term directly from America’s long-term loss,” Comer concluded. “While Hunter Biden might not care that his actions have been a boon to the Chinese and a detriment to the United States’ position of leadership on clean energy, Americans do.”
Hunter Biden’s attorney said in November that his client had divested his 10 percent stake in BHR Partners, but offered no further details on the identity of the buyer or the transaction terms.
At first glance, thought they were talking about Mitch McConnel.
Beijing Biden is wholly owned by the Chicomms. He’s in Xi’s pocket.
Just wait until you see Hunter’s dealings in Rissia and other Former Soviet states, mainly Kazakhstan!!! Hunters bank account is stiffed with Roubles.
Russia, and Rubles...
Trash missing their trailers.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If bohai harvest was originally funded with $1.5 billion & hunter was cut in for 10%, and hunter divested his 10% wouldn’t the IRS be looking to hunter for income taxes on about $150 million give or take a little??
After all, they want our banks to report currency tranactions over 600 bucks now.
Come on man.
Let me make this crystal clear: All companies in China are linked to the Chinese government and the communist party. All of them.
HAH......GOOD CATCH.

Congress wants to question Trump’s daughter - and Mitch McConnell supports the work of the Jan 6th committee!
