Whistleblower threatening to "name names" in Biden Inc.

When you hear that one of Hunter Biden’s former business partners may be going public with some of the family’s dirty laundry, the first name that comes to mind is probably Eric Schwerin. And it’s true that Schwerin is reportedly cooperating with the House Oversight Committee’s investigations into Biden Incorporated. But today’s story is about a different associate of Hunter, Joe, and Jim. Gal Luft is a think tank executive who used to represent a Chinese energy corporation that basically served as a front for the Chinese Communist Party and reportedly paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars. Luft is in a bit of trouble after being arrested in Cyprus earlier this month on charges that he illegally sold weapons to China and Lybia. But he claims that he provided information about the Bidens’ business dealings to the FBI in 2019 and now the Biden administration is trying to punish him. So now his attorney is saying that Luft will start “naming names” soon. (Free Beacon)

An Israeli think tank executive who served alongside Hunter Biden as an adviser to a Chinese energy conglomerate widely suspected of serving as a front for the Chinese Communist Party now says he provided the FBI with damning information about the Biden family’s foreign business dealings.

Gal Luft, the co-director of the Washington-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, says he provided information about Hunter Biden, his father, and his uncle, Jim Biden, to the Justice Department in March 2019. Luft served as an adviser to CEFC China Energy, a conglomerate that “aligned itself so closely with the Chinese government that it was often hard to distinguish between the two,” according to CNN. The group, which donated at least $350,000 to Luft’s think tank, paid Hunter Biden at least $6 million in 2017 to procure energy investment deals in the United States.

Assuming that Luft’s claims are accurate (and he would certainly have been in a position to know), the Biden family’s business dealings with China continued well into the modern era. The alleged deal with CEFC China Energy would have taken place only six years ago and Hunter supposedly cashed in on that to the tune of six million dollars. How much of a cut did the Big Guy get? Between Luft and Schwerin, we may eventually find out.

Luft’s attorney in the United States is saying that he will be speaking with the House Oversight Committee. He also repeats the claim that this arrest is part of an effort to discredit a witness in advance of his testimony.

Hunter Biden’s name turns up quite a bit in association with CEFC and that group’s efforts to secure energy deals around the globe. But as we’ve long known, Hunter Biden had absolutely no background in the energy industry and no apparent education or skills that would make him a desirable asset in such work. So what did he bring to the table? His father, of course.

The oversight committee is also looking into a former Serbian foreign minister named Vuk Jeremi. According to documents retrieved from the Laptop From Hell, Jeremi was the person who first arranged a meeting between Hunter and CEFC back in 2015 when Joe Biden was still the Vice President. And as we have learned from Tony Bobulinski, another Hunter Biden business partner, there was plenty of money sloshing around back in those days. We’re talking about millions of dollars. And some of it wound up sloshing into Hunter Biden’s hands. Did any of it go into the joint bank account that Hunter and Joe Biden shared?

Perhaps we’ll be finding out this year. And who knows? We may also figure out how a guy who spent virtually his entire adult life living on a legislator’s salary while married to a community college teacher was able to afford multiple mansions by the shore. It’s certainly a curious situation.
