Joe Biden & Son - A Bit of History

If there was ever a "classic" example of just how corrupt and nepotistic "the Swamp" is these days, this is a prime one!

By Your Friend Bill in Kentucky - a retired teacher

If ever there were a more worthy politician to circle the drain to oblivion, it is Joe Biden. He has been feeding at the public trough since 1972. That equates to 47 years out of his present 76 years of age.  First of all, Joe was elected to congress with Kennedy's money.

 

After graduating 506 out of a class of 688 at the University of Delaware, he entered Syracuse University of Law. During his first year there, he was accused of having plagiarized five of 15 pages of a law review article. Biden said it was inadvertent due to his "not knowing the proper rules of citation", and he was permitted to retake the course after receiving an "F" grade, which was subsequently dropped from his record. This incident would later attract attention when further plagiarism accusations emerged in 1987. He received his Juris Doctor in 1968, graduating 76th of 85 in his class.

 

So now that I have established that Joe and the truth were often times strangers, let's explore how after a life in "public service" the notoriously cheap Joe Biden has amassed a net worth of 9 million dollars.  $9,000,000.00! And in case you think his wife has been a big moneymaker, I would like to point out that she is a glorified school teacher. And it turns out his Ukrainian scheme was not the first time Creepy Joe strong-armed his way into hush money for him and his cocaine loving son. Which is exactly why Robert Hunter Biden, secured a prestigious direct commission to the U.S. Naval Reserves in 2012 as a public affairs officer. The program recruits civilians without prior military service who have special skills that are critical to sustaining military operations. Hunter Biden's primary qualification for the cushy part-time job was his last name. The power of nepotism came in handy when he was forced to seek not one, but two waivers, to secure the job.

 

Ordinary applicants have to meet age restrictions (under 40 at the time he sought the position, now 42). He was 43. Then Hunter needed a second waiver to get a pass for prior cocaine use. Granted! Only six public affairs officers received such direct appointments from the Navy Reserves that year. Amazing, isn't it, that there wasn't a single other applicant in America (population: 327 million) with a clean drug history and proper age eligibility to take the slot.

 

But for all that string-pulling effort, Hunter Biden barely served a year. After testing positive for cocaine during a random drug test, he was discharged quietly in February 2014. The hush-hush deal, undisclosed until a whistle blower told The Wall Street Journal eight months later, was yet another perk of Biden patronage. So was his immunity from any investigation or review of his law license by the Connecticut bar. And so, too, was his quick career bounce back.

 

A month after his humiliating discharge from our military, Biden's coke-abusing party boy was appointed to the board of directors of Ukraine's largest private gas producer, Burisma Holdings, owned by a powerful Russian government sympathizer, who had fled to Russia that year. It's also the same company a top Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating for corruption before he was fired at the behest of Creepy Joe, according to Joe himself, who bragged about threatening to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine during a Council of Foreign Relations speech in 2018.

 

After reporting earlier this month that Ukrainian officials are still probing the shady company and its dealings with Hunter, The Hill's John Solomon proposed pointed questions for the Democratic presidential front-runner: Was it appropriate for your son and his firm to cash in on Ukraine while you served as point man for Ukraine policy? What work was performed for the money Hunter Biden's firm received? Did you know about the Burisma probe (and) should you have recused yourself?

 

Similar queries apply to Hunter Biden's other position at investment firm Rosemont Seneca, which snagged a $1 billion deal in 2013 with the Communist Bank of China, just days after Creepy Joe had met with China's President Xi Jinping.

 

This is all part of the crooked pattern in the Biden family finances. Hunter's first job, acquired after Joe Biden won his 1996 Senate reelection bid in Delaware, was with MBNA, the credit card conglomerate and top campaign finance donor to then Sen. Biden. The elder Biden secured his custom-built, multi million-dollar house in Delaware's Chateau Country with the help of a leading MBNA corporate executive. Biden went on to carry legislative water for MBNA in the Senate for years.

 

Hunter became a founding partner in the lobbying firm of Oldaker, Biden, and Belair in 2002. William Oldaker was Papa Biden's former fundraiser, campaign treasurer, and general counsel. Under Oldaker's tutelage, Hunter lobbied for drug companies, universities and other deep-pocketed clients to the tune of nearly $4 million billed to the company by 2007.

 

Hunter held a top position at Paradigm Global Advisors, a hedge fund holding company founded with Joe's brother, James, and marketed by convicted finance fraudster Allen Stanford. Hunter oversaw half a billion dollars of client money invested in hedge funds while remaining a D.C. lobbyist. The ill-fated venture went bust amid nasty fraud lawsuits.

 

Hunter also served on the board of directors of taxpayer-subsidized Amtrak, for which his father secured a $53 billion high-speed train initiative.

After a life filled with fraud and service, this nasty old man has the temerity to run for our nation's highest office. Ever the narcissist he positions himself in front of the camera almost daily and lies his head off about anything he thinks will secure his nomination. Except for now.

 

 Joe's  son Hunter, got a woman pregnant in Arkansas, and when she told him about it, he ignored her and walked away. This was after he was having an affair with his dead brother's widow. Classy guy this Hunter. The state of Arkansas laws required a paternity test, and sure enough, Hunter was the father.  It's only because the law "forced" him to, did he help this woman out with child support. It's not like this scumbag isn't rolling in money.

Every time I see Joe on TV, I feel like throwing up.  His son does the same thing to me. They are the epitome of everything that's wrong in D.C.
