Someone needs to step in and stop everything the Biden regime is doing. Old Joey is close to brain dead. Someone is behind him and it's looking more and more like it's Hunter and Brother James.

Now we know all the accusations they made of trump was an admission of guilt on their part all the time. Nearly everything that they've accused Trump of they are guilty of in spades. It's called scapegoating. It's what Dems have learned to so best.

Why didn't GP show that email in their own article? Because it didn't reveal anything, eh Mr. MAGAtarded?

The opinion source GP knows best. yet Hunter nor Joe have been charged with any crimes. Still waiting as it has been 2 years. Rudy G broke the news to a new source about the laptop. Rudy G who made numerous trips to Ukraine.

Rudy G broke other stories - several allegations over US aid to Ukraine and supposed stand-down orders directed from the US embassy in Ukraine to the country’s police force.

“The Accounts Chamber in Ukraine found an alleged misuse of $5.3B in U.S. funds during the Obama administration while Biden was ‘Point Man,’” Giuliani tweeted Thursday night. “Obama embassy urged Ukrainian police NOT to investigate!” RUDY G works hard for the money

Giuliani did not respond to a detailed list of questions about the transcript of his call with the Ukrainian officials, the Ukrainian support for his disbarment and the federal investigation.


Zelensky’s government has taken legal action against Giuliani’s Ukrainian associates. And they have opened up to the media about the pressure campaign mounted by Trump and his allies.


Wait that was Rudy G's laptop - Breaking story

VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION The Honorable David Weiss United States Attorney District of Delaware Dear Mr. Weiss: Since August 2019, we have been investigating Hunter Biden’s and James Biden’s financial connections to foreign governments and questionable foreign nationals.1 On September 23, 2020, and November 18, 2020, we publicly released our Biden Reports that showed potential criminal financial activity with respect to Hunter and James Biden.2 In addition, our reports showed how their extensive links to foreign governments and questionable foreign nationals posed counterintelligence and extortion concerns. Our work was falsely labeled by the liberal media and some of our Democratic colleagues as advancing Russian disinformation.3 Therefore, to prove them wrong, on March 28, 2022; March 29, 2022 and April 5, 2022, we released financial records during Senate floor speeches that corroborated and further substantiated the foreign financial transactions and connections we described in our previous reports.4 The bank records we are providing you today supplement those floor speeches. After those Senate floor speeches, on May 9, 2022, we wrote to you and asked whether you possessed financial records relating to the Biden family’s financial connections to the communist Chinese government, including those that we made public in our Senate floor 1 Press Release, S.

Page 2 of 11 speeches. 5 You failed to answer and instead the Department of Justice (DOJ) interceded to respond on your behalf, and it also failed to answer our questions.6 Today, in light of your and DOJ’s failure to respond to our legitimate congressional oversight requests and as part of our ongoing congressional investigation, we are transmitting to you over two hundred pages of records relating to the Biden family’s connections to the Chinese regime and persons connected to its military and intelligence elements. These records include over one hundred pages of unredacted and previously unreleased bank records relating to one of Hunter Biden’s businesses, Hudson West III.7 If you are conducting a full and complete investigation, you should already possess these records. In the case that you are not and do not possess these records, we suggest that you review them in detail. Background Some of the central CEFC China Energy (CEFC) players mentioned in the attached records are Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associates, Ye Jianming and Gongwen Dong. Ye Jianming is a Chinese national, the founder of CEFC and a frequent figure in the Biden family’s financial dealings with China. Ye was also chairman of the board for CEFC’s subsidiary, the China Energy Fund Committee.8 Although CEFC reportedly remained a private company until state-owned enterprises assumed control of it in 2018, reporting in 2017 indicated that it received financing from the China Development Bank, “hired a number of former top officials from stateowned energy companies,” and had “layers of Communist Party committees across its subsidiaries — more than at many private Chinese companies.”9 Ye had connections not just to the communist party in China, but also China’s People’s Liberation Army.10 A news report noted that, “t’s been clear for some time that [CEFC] is not just a Chinese commercial company, that they had some intelligence ties.”11 Gongwen Dong is a business associate of Ye who executed numerous transactions on Ye’s behalf.12 According to reports, Gongwen formerly served as chief financial officer at Radiance Property Holdings, a firm now “controlled and run by Lam Ting Keung, a businessman with deep connections to ‘united front’ groups linked to Chinese intelligence.”13 Gongwen 5 Letter from Charles E.

Page 3 of 11 served as a manager/officer of Hudson West III, Hudson West IV, and Hudson West V. These are business entities associated with Hunter Biden, which shows the close business and financial relationship between the two of them. According to a document prepared by Biden family business associate James Gilliar, CEFC’s corporate mission was, “[t]o expand cooperation in the international energy economy and contribute to the national development.”14 Indeed, that same record states that CEFC is “dedicating itself to serving China’s national energy strategy,” “developing national strategic reserves [for oil],” and “[p]artnering with centrally-administered and state-owned enterprises[.]”15 The record also makes clear that CEFC was an extension of the communist Chinese government: At the time, China was hungry for crude, but its state-backed companies were having difficulty closing some deals abroad. The optics of China’s state-backed giants marching into a country to buy and extract oil weren’t great for central Asian politicians. This paved the way for private firms like CEFC, which can strike oil deals in Europe and the Middle East where Chinese State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) could bring political liabilities.16 That same document also states that CEFC “is building an energy storage and logistics system in Europe” to connect China, Europe and the Middle East which would then “[serve] China’s ambitions to have overseas storage locations connected with world markets.”17 CEFC was the perfect vehicle to bring financial benefits to the communist regime under the guise of a private sector company.18 2015-2017: Business relationship grows between Hunter Biden and CEFC CEFC began working to establish ties with the Biden family as early as 2015.19 Before Ye reportedly disappeared in 2018, he and CEFC sought business in the United States and his efforts were in line with the communist Chinese government’s goal to “[prioritize] economic development as the ‘central task’ and the force that drives China’s modernization across all areas, including its armed forces.”20 Hunter Biden’s position of influence and connections to Chinese business interests, which were further strengthened while his father was vice president, most likely appealed to Ye, a man who The New York Times has described as “[wanting] access to the corridors of power in Washington.”21 It has also been reported that 14 James A.

Page 4 of 11 CEFC donated as much as $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, presumably as part of that public influence effort.22 According to reports, “n the winter of 2015, Chairman Ye and CEFC Executive Director Jianjun Zang… flew to Washington, DC. A meeting with Ye was scheduled in Hunter’s diary for December 7, 2015…”23 Records show that Hunter Biden’s business associate, James Gilliar, was actively involved in efforts to develop investment opportunities for CEFC around the world, and involved Hunter Biden in those efforts. A May 15, 2017, report prepared by Gilliar states that Hunter Biden was involved in efforts to build relations between CEFC and the country of Oman.24 According to the report, “HB was key in relationship set up, messaging the good will around the chairman [Ye Jianming] and the non-conflict status of CEFC entry, ‘a bridge between two great nations’.”25 The report also states that Hunter Biden was responsible for “[w]riting to all parties and organizing meetings to continue CEFC promote [sic], as well approving step-bystep strategic and operational elements.”26 Records obtained by our offices show that Ye became very close with Hunter Biden. For example, in an October 2017 message exchange produced by Anthony (Tony) Bobulinski, Hunter Biden told Bobulinski that although he “stayed out of that Russian mess,” he “discussed the Roseneft [sic] deal”27 with Ye personally and was familiar with the deal, including the fact that Ye was “pissed off…by the execution[.]”28 In the same exchange, Hunter Biden explained to Tony Bobulinski that he spoke to Ye on a “regular basis,” they have a “standing once a week call,” was the “first guest in his new apartment,” “he cooked me lunch himself and we ate in the kitchen together,” and was helping Ye “on a number of his personal issues (staff visas and some more sensitive things).”29 According to reports, Ye met with Hunter Biden on February 14, 2017, in Miami, Florida.30 He also reportedly gave Hunter a 3.16-carat diamond valued at $80,000.31 As we stated in our November 18, 2020, report, just nine days later, on February 23, 2017, a Shanghaibased company called State Energy HK Limited that was affiliated with CEFC China Energy, sent a $3,000,000 wire to Robinson Walker LLC, a company associated with Hunter Biden and James Gilliar’s business associate, Rob Walker. 32 State Energy HK Limited sent another $3,000,000 wire to Robinson Walker on March 1, 2017.33 While the purpose of these two 22 Id. 23 Miranda Devine, “More Money Than God”: Chinese Titan Lavished Hunter Biden with 3-Carat Gem, Offer of $30 Million, NEW YORK POST (Nov. 28, 2021), https://nypost.com/2021/11/28/chine...er-biden-with-3-carat-gem-offer-of30-million/. 24 CEFC China Energy Investment Vehicle Phase I Countries Outline (May 15, 2017), see Nov. 18 Report at 48. 25 Id. 26 Id. 27 As noted in the Nov. 18, Report, in Sept. 2017, CEFC announced its intention to purchase a 14.2 percent stake in the Russian state-owned energy company, Rosneft, for approximately U.S. $9 billion. CEFC subsequently agreed to a reported €5 billion loan deal with Russian state-owned VTB Bank to finance the purchase. The 14.2 percent stake would have come from the 19.5 percent stake in Rosneft previously purchased by a consortium of Glencore (a Swiss mining company) and the Qatar Investment Authority (the sovereign wealth fund of the Qatari government).

This paved the way for private firms like CEFC, which can strike oil deals in Europe and the Middle East where Chinese State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) could bring political liabilities.16 That same document also states that CEFC “is building an energy storage and logistics system in Europe” to connect China, Europe and the Middle East which would then “[serve] China’s ambitions to have overseas storage locations connected with world markets.”17 CEFC was the perfect vehicle to bring financial benefits to the communist regime under the guise of a private sector company.18 2015-2017: Business relationship grows between Hunter Biden and CEFC CEFC began working to establish ties with the Biden family as early as 2015.19 Before Ye reportedly disappeared in 2018, he and CEFC sought business in the United States and his efforts were in line with the communist Chinese government’s goal to “[prioritize] economic development as the ‘central task’ and the force that drives China’s modernization across all areas, including its armed forces.”20 Hunter Biden’s position of influence and connections to Chinese business interests, which were further strengthened while his father was vice president, most likely appealed to Ye, a man who The New York Times has described as “[wanting] access to the corridors of power in Washington.”21 It has also been reported that 14 James A.

Page 4 of 11 CEFC donated as much as $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, presumably as part of that public influence effort.22 According to reports, “n the winter of 2015, Chairman Ye and CEFC Executive Director Jianjun Zang… flew to Washington, DC. A meeting with Ye was scheduled in Hunter’s diary for December 7, 2015…”23 Records show that Hunter Biden’s business associate, James Gilliar, was actively involved in efforts to develop investment opportunities for CEFC around the world, and involved Hunter Biden in those efforts. A May 15, 2017, report prepared by Gilliar states that Hunter Biden was involved in efforts to build relations between CEFC and the country of Oman.24 According to the report, “HB was key in relationship set up, messaging the good will around the chairman [Ye Jianming] and the non-conflict status of CEFC entry, ‘a bridge between two great nations’.”25 The report also states that Hunter Biden was responsible for “[w]riting to all parties and organizing meetings to continue CEFC promote [sic], as well approving step-bystep strategic and operational elements.”26 Records obtained by our offices show that Ye became very close with Hunter Biden. For example, in an October 2017 message exchange produced by Anthony (Tony) Bobulinski, Hunter Biden told Bobulinski that although he “stayed out of that Russian mess,” he “discussed the Roseneft [sic] deal”27 with Ye personally and was familiar with the deal, including the fact that Ye was “pissed off…by the execution[.]”28 In the same exchange, Hunter Biden explained to Tony Bobulinski that he spoke to Ye on a “regular basis,” they have a “standing once a week call,” was the “first guest in his new apartment,” “he cooked me lunch himself and we ate in the kitchen together,” and was helping Ye “on a number of his personal issues (staff visas and some more sensitive things).”29 According to reports, Ye met with Hunter Biden on February 14, 2017, in Miami, Florida.30 He also reportedly gave Hunter a 3.16-carat diamond valued at $80,000.31 As we stated in our November 18, 2020, report, just nine days later, on February 23, 2017, a Shanghaibased company called State Energy HK Limited that was affiliated with CEFC China Energy, sent a $3,000,000 wire to Robinson Walker LLC, a company associated with Hunter Biden and James Gilliar’s business associate, Rob Walker. 32 State Energy HK Limited sent another $3,000,000 wire to Robinson Walker on March 1, 2017.33 While the purpose of these two 22 Id. 23 Miranda Devine, “More Money Than God”: Chinese Titan Lavished Hunter Biden with 3-Carat Gem, Offer of $30 Million, NEW YORK POST (Nov. 28, 2021), https://nypost.com/2021/11/28/chine...er-biden-with-3-carat-gem-offer-of30-million/. 24 CEFC China Energy Investment Vehicle Phase I Countries Outline (May 15, 2017), see Nov. 18 Report at 48. 25 Id. 26 Id. 27 As noted in the Nov. 18, Report, in Sept. 2017, CEFC announced its intention to purchase a 14.2 percent stake in the Russian state-owned energy company, Rosneft, for approximately U.S. $9 billion. CEFC subsequently agreed to a reported €5 billion loan deal with Russian state-owned VTB Bank to finance the purchase. The 14.2 percent stake would have come from the 19.5 percent stake in Rosneft previously purchased by a consortium of Glencore (a Swiss mining company) and the Qatar Investment Authority (the sovereign wealth fund of the Qatari government).

Unless you have proof that Joe was part of the deal as a partner then I suggest you look for another way to implicate him, maybe tax evasion like Trump is getting hit with.

The opinion source GP knows best. yet Hunter nor Joe have been charged with any crimes.


In the last presidential election, Washington DC folks voted Democrat at about a 90% clip. And you trust them to charge Joe or Hunter?
