Hunter Biden's China chicanery includes Whitey Bulger's nephew, John Kerry's stepson, a village idiot and the town wh*re

Former vice president Joe "It's a Big F***ing Deal" Biden's son Hunter, partnered with former mob boss and currently dead, Whitey Bulger's nephew and former secretary of state John "Hair Plugs" Kerry stepson, for his sweetheart business deal with Bank of China, according to Peter Schweizer in his latest book.

It's possible, Schweizer believes, that the reason Joe is so ready to placate China is because of Hunter's relationship with the $1.5 billion private equity investment between the bank and Hunter's company in a deal that was signed just weeks after Joe brought Hunter along on an "official trip" to China back in 2013.

Also in 2013, Hunter joined the U.S. Naval Reserve and was able to receive an age-related waiver since he was over the cut-off age of 42. As fortune would have it, he was also able to receive a waiver due to a past drug-related incident. He was granted a direct commission as a Naval ensign and served in public affairs in Norfolk, Virginia . In 2014 he was thrown out of the Navy for testing positive for cocaine but claimed he ingested it involuntarily. However, he declined to fight the discharge.

Hunter's brother, Beau, died of brain cancer May 30, 2015 and soon after Hunter, who was married at the time, had an affair with Beau's widow in 2016 until they broke it off the following year as Hunter moved on to "greener fields" to plow.
Uncle Whitey
In terms of the $1.5 billion deal with Hunter's company, he partnered with the Thornton Group, and not the Billy Bob Thornton Group but the one headed by James [aka Jimmy] Bulger, son of MA state senator Billy Bulger. James was named after his now deceased uncle, James "Whitey" Bulger, a notorious mobster/murderer that put him on the FBI's Most Wanted list, and who was snuffed in prison.

Hunter also partnered with Chris Heinz, the son of ketchup queen Teresa Heinz Kerry, making him the stepson of John Kerry. Chris and Hunter control Rosemont Seneca Partners, a private equity firm that received billions of investment bucks from, you guessed it, China.

A representative for Heinz claims Chris' involvement in the deal has been "misreported." He says that neither he nor his firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, had any role in the deal. He says an unaffiliated second firm, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, is the firm doing business with Bank of China, and that Heinz is not involved. The representative also says the closest Heinz has come to being in China is a Chinese restaurant called Sum Ting Wong.

Schweizer's book, Secret Empires, should be required reading for people who want to better understand how political elites accumulate wealth by their political power.

Selective leftist outrage

"After my election, I have more flexibility."--Barack Obama to Russian President Medvedev on 'hot mic'
It's almost laughable how the left sounds the alarm over an alleged relationship of the Trump administration with the Russians. 

They point out how Paul Manafort was an adviser to the Ukrainian president, a pro-Russian and how Carter Page, another Trump adviser, was involved in energy deals with Russian companies. And how Jeff Sessions actually spoke to a Russian official while on the Senate Armed Services Committee--even though it's a normal part of his job.

And of course, there's Michael Flynn and the speech he gave in Moscow as a private citizen . . . and so on.

As Peter Schweizer said, in an article for Fox News, it's important to examine these relationships, but "Still, those pushing the narrative of troubling ties to Russia lose all credibility by wholly ignoring the far deeper and more troubling relationships the Clintons and their closest aides have maintained with Russian government officials for years, including while they were in public office."

But the big difference here is that the Clinton deals involved enormous favors that benefitted Russian interests and involved hundreds of millions of dollars.

Like the speech Bill Clinton gave in Moscow in 2010 and received half a million dollars. Renaissance Capital, a Moscow firm paid the fee--a firm with close ties to Russian intelligence, and they admit it proudly.

No Russian donor was too embedded in Russian concerns to refuse. Schweizer mentions the following: 
Victor Vekselberg: a Putin confidant and head of Renova Group
Andrey Vavilov: a former Russian government official and Chairman of SuperOx, a research company that was part of "nuclear Cluster" at a government research facility
Elena Buturina: wife of a former Mayor of Moscow. She appeared to donate to the Clintons via JSC Inteco which she controls
And of course we have the 2010 Uranium One deal in which the Clinton Foundation received $145 million in "donations" from a Canadian uranium company that was sold to the Russian government. In order to seal the deal, several U.S. federal agencies needed to approve it, including Hillary's State Department. The Russians ended up with 20 percent of America's uranium which went to Rosatom, an entity that controls Russia's nuclear arsenal.

The fact that some of the Clinton Foundation donations were not disclosed by the Clintons should trouble all of us. President Obama required the Foundation to disclose all contributions as a condition of Hillary Clinton becoming Secretary of State, but she didn't. It was the Canadian tax records that uncovered the deal.

Then there's one of Hillary's closest aides, John Podesta who actually went into business with the Russian government while a Hillary Clinton adviser as Secretary of State.

Podesta was on the executive board of an energy company called Joule Unlimited. The Russian government invested a billion rubles (about $35 million) in the company. The money came from an investment fund called Rusnano, a fund started in 2007 by Putin and described as "Putin's Child" by Russian Education and Science Minister Andrei Fursenko.

Rusnano investments could also have military applications and it would be surprising if it didn't.

When Podesta went to the White House in 2014, where he served as counselor to Obama, he did not disclose his board membership in one of the Joule entities on his financial disclosure form. 

But the hypocritical left isn't concerned about what appears to be an actual intimate relationship with the Russians because it had nothing to do with Donald Trump.
