While I’m always suspicious of stories that show up right before an election, this one appears to have attracted enough attention from Senators to suggest that it probably has some legs. According to the Daily Mail, a whistleblower who was associated with Hunter Biden and his business partners has come forward and spoken to members of the Senate who are investigating Hunter’s foreign business dealings and his father’s potential involvement in them. The witness has already spoken to the members but has requested to be kept anonymous out of fear of reprisals. The alleged deal in question didn’t have to do with China or Ukraine, however. This one involved an online gambling operation in Latin America and “the big guy” was on a call they took part in, apparently interested in the “returns to the family coffers.” And some other big names from the U.S. Senate were involved as well.
Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter’s foreign business deals while he was Vice President, a new whistleblower with direct knowledge claims.
The whistleblower has identified themselves to Senate investigators but asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.
The informant says they were party to a 2012 conference call involving then-VP Joe, Hunter, 52, his business partner Jeff Cooper, 53, late Senate majority leader Harry Reid and his son Key Reid, 48, who was also in business with Hunter.
The business partner in question was Jeff Cooper, a name we’ve heard before in stories involving Hunter’s various surprisingly “successful” foreign business affairs. It should be noted that Cooper responded to a request for comment from the Daily Mail and said that the allegations are false and a “total fabrication.”
That may or may not prove to be the case, but if this was a shady deal that was intended to put money into Hunter and his father’s bank accounts, it would certainly fit the pattern we’ve seen in other stories. And if it was the sort of deal that would hinge on Latin American partners gaining a foothold in the Vice President’s office, that would be a similar match.
The other big name involved in the call was reportedly Harry Reid who was joined by his son Key. Key Reid was another partner of Hunter Biden’s if the whistleblower is to be believed. That’s a connection that has been mentioned in a few previous stories, though the relationship wasn’t as strong and “official” as some of Hunter’s partners in the Ukrainian and Chinese deals.
No matter how this chapter in the Hunter Biden saga plays out, it should serve as one more example of how primarily GOP Senators and members of the House have been gathering information behind the scenes on the shadier aspects of Biden Incorporated for some time now. It’s likely that they have discovered other nuggets that haven’t leaked out to the public yet.
Obviously, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi would never allow any sort of public hearings and officially sanctioned investigations into such awkward subjects while they retain the power to set the agenda. But that may be changing in one of both chambers in January. And if that happens, you can expect this subject to receive a very official (and very public) airing. Who knows what might turn up during testimony from various witnesses and whistleblowers? Stay tuned.
