Biden's Brother Awarded $1.5B Contract To Build Homes In Iraq

According to Charlie Gasparino of Fox Business, a subsidiary of the construction company Hill International was handpicked to oversee the building of at least 100,000 affordable homes in decimated areas of Iraq.

When asked why his company was chosen over all the others, company president David Richter didn't beat around the bush. "It really helps to have the brother of the vice president as a partner," he said.

James Biden was hired on as the executive vice president despite little if any documented work history in residential construction -- or anything else for that matter.

The company was awarded the lucrative government contract only six months later. Already worth over $7 million, Biden stands to make millions off the deal with the Iraqi government.

Those Bidens are in serious competition with the Clintons for the “Top Grifters” award!

Gee, how much graft and corruption does it take to kill a candidacy.

Why are we building homes in Iraq?

Our government confiscates too much money!

The Democratic Party pissed off the wrong man - Trump.

President Trump let the reality TV drama build up for 3 years and now that he has everyone’s attention, he is going to be closing the episode with a high drama, bare-knuckle politics, and rough justice.

Well, what a shock. Why can't those guys earn their millions through sheer hard work like, say, Chelsea Clinton?

Ayn Rand called this little game The Aristocracy Of Pull. It was supposed to be fiction.

Not really. The Bidens are pikers compared to the Clintons in my opinion. I’d be shocked if the Clintons didn’t take a cut.

That’s why it took a real billionaire (Trump) who cares about his country to take them on.

The question here...why would you need some stupid American to head up a program in Iraq? This should have been some regional company, with an Iraqi guy in charge. I’d go and cut this contract from $1.5 billion down to $100-million and just hire local guys there.

The guy's got talent. And connections. See here:

[James] Biden also had a brief and embarrassing foray into hedge funds, starting hedge-fund company Paradigm Global along with Joe Biden’s son, Hunter... It was also disclosed that Paradigm had connections to then-accused Ponzi schemer Allen Stanford. The fund was sold through outfits that Stanford controlled as he was facing federal charges for running an $8 billion fraud. Stanford is now serving a 110-year prison sentence. The Bidens denied any knowledge of Stanford’s activities and weren’t charged in the matter.

Of course not. Stanford was arrested on 18 June, 2009. What was Joe doing at the time, I wonder? Have to look that up...

Grifting is the Democrats business model. Look at LBJ and his wife using political influence to become millionaires.

Oh, this gets better. This one is dated 2009. Apparently Stanford wasn't the only shady connection.
