The Swamp: Brother of Biden’s Top Adviser Is Lobbyist for General Motors
Breitbart ^ | 09/24/2023 | John Binder

Posted on 09/24/2023 2:14:38 PM PDT by DFG

The brother of President Joe Biden’s top adviser is a lobbyist for General Motors (GM), complicating matters for the White House as the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against record inflation and the administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandates.

Jeff Ricchetti, the brother of Steve Ricchetti, who currently serves as Counselor to the President in the Biden administration, has a well-documented history of lobbying for GM. Steve Ricchetti was also once a lobbyist for GM.

Most recently, Politico buried in a report regarding Biden’s ties to GM CEO Mary Barra how the White House has many close ties to the automaker. Jeff Ricchetti is one of the more prominent connections as he has brought in “over half a million dollars” since Biden took office:

Jeff Ricchetti, whose brother Steve Ricchetti is a counselor to Biden, currently lobbies for General Motors. The company has paid his firm over half a million dollars since the start of 2021. Steve Ricchetti himself also lobbied for General Motors between 2001 and 2008, a few years before he became counselor to then-Vice President Biden, and later his chief of staff. Both of them lobbied the Senate for GM while Biden was a senator from Delaware, according to disclosure records. [Emphasis added]

If a relationship like that had been discovered with PDJT, he would have been impeached two or three more times.

I really don’t see the problem for the “big guy” in all of this.. With his morals, he could easy take an honest 10% from both sides and feel OK with it...

Just in case Biden loses and Trump wins, they are going to get as much corruption in place as they can, to continue the destruction of America.

Will end badly for all involved. The Biden effect. You’re just ruined before you know it, because you hear from the echo chamber. By the time the truth sets in, you’re ruined.

Its all in the Biden family.
Missy's sister, Casey, a former Obama employee had sensitive US govt information to peddle.
She is now a Starbuck’s VP according to Linked in.

Biden’s niece Casey Owens - his sister’s child - aided and abetted Hunter’s influence peddling schemes which benefitted the Biden family’s wealth accumulation.

Casey Owens official US govt trip to China was with Obama’s US Treasury delegation, “The US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue team,” led by then-Treasury Secy Timothy Geithner.

During the visit, Owens was privy to sensitive US govt information WRT China’s multi billion dollar sovereign wealth fund. Owens passed on the info to the opportunistic Hunter as a possible investment contact who soon followed up.

Oh my, people ought to think about this when Biden shows up at the strike, supposedly caring about the concerns of the workers.

I grew up in a neighborhood of very wealthy families. Once the adults were dead and gone, the children of age in their 50’s and 40’s become broke rich kids that suffer tragic endings.

Idea: Pay for demonstrators to get on TV at the place Biden does his photo-op walk with the union bosses in Michigan.
Signs “GM Stooge Is Pal of Biden” “Biden Pal is Billionaire at GM.” Maybe a couple of screamers to get pulled down and handcuffed on TV and then we bail them out.

Waaaaaaaay overdue time for dirty tricks from our side.

I been racking my brain to figure out why General Motors Co. has hired Biden's niece Missy Owens as its director of environment, sustainability and governance policy within the Detroit automaker’s global regulatory affairs and transportation policy group.

I finally determined....its because of her smile......snx.

I have no doubt this seems a good business move from a worldly perspective.
