Joe can't escape Hunter's WhatsApp messages

The majority of the legacy media is continuing to do its level best to ignore these stories, but the body of accumulating evidence being compiled by the House GOP’s investigative committees is threatening to fracture the dam and unleash a flood of trouble for Biden Inc. The latest trove of damning information has been coming from a collection of Hunter Biden’s private messages on his WhatsApp account from his days of shady dealings with various adversarial nations, along with his “business” partners. One of the worst showed up this week, revealing communications between the First Son and Gongwen Dong, an associate of Chinese energy firm CEFC, a company closely tied to the Chinese Communist Party. These messages not only contain explicit demands for vast sums of money but directly tie “the Big Guy” to the scheme. (Fox News)

Hunter Biden demanded $10 million from a Chinese business associate to “further the interest” of his joint-venture with a Chinese energy, saying that the “Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly” what the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party-linked firm wanted, according to a newly-released WhatsApp message.

The House Oversight Committee released the message, dated Aug. 3, 2017. The exchange is between Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Gongwen Dong.

“Very simple,” Hunter writes. “10 M per annum budget to use to further the interest of the JV. This move to 5M is completely new to me and is not acceptable obviously.”

These messages all deal with Hunter’s time operating his two shady business partnerships, Owasco and Hudson West. Both appeared to operate as little more than vehicles to shuffle money from various foreign interests into the accounts of Hunter, Joe, and other Biden family members. The message excerpted above expresses Hunter’s annoyance that one of the Chinese firms would dare to lower his payments from ten million dollars per year to five million.

Take note of how Hunter writes that “Bidens are the best” at doing “exactly” what the Chairman of the Chinese firm wants. He’s not speaking of himself, obviously. He’s using “Bidens” as a plural. Neither Hunter nor his business partners had any direct, influential positions that could benefit CEFC. The only thing he had to offer was the governmental influence of his father. It doesn’t require any special psychic abilities to see what’s going on here.

It’s also rather bold and remarkable that Hunter could assure CEFC that he could “make $5M salary at any law firm in America.” That might be true, but it wouldn’t be for his legal skills. Hunter Biden never had any serious responsibilities with any known law firm. Also, this was taking place in 2017 when he was still in the throes of his days of crack addiction and prostitute relationships. What reputable law firm would have sent someone like that into a courtroom to represent them? If anyone was interested in paying him, it would have only been for his surname and potential access to his father.

And those associations with foreign entities clearly paid handsomely. The banking records uncovered by the committee show that on Aug. 8, 2017, shortly after this WhatsApp message was sent, CEFC wired nearly $5 million to the bank account Hunter established for Hudson West. Let’s consider that for a moment. That’s just a single exchange with one company in one country. It clearly suggests that he had already received $5 million from CEFC that year, and after he complained, they sent another $5 million. He even refers to the extra five million as “peanuts.” How much cash in total were the Bidens receiving over the years? And is it any wonder that a career public servant married to a community college professor was able to afford two mansions by the seaside and the rest of the luxuries they have enjoyed?

Here’s the meat of the evidence straight from the Oversight Committee. This story is only continuing to grow and it will soon be too large for even CNN and the alphabet networks to ignore.
