“For nearly four years, I have tried to tell the American people the truth about serious corruption at the very top of their government,” said Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden’s former business associate, in the opening statement of his recent closed-door testimony before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. “It is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the Brand’ being sold by the Biden family.”

It’s not only that Biden was aware of his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings; according to Bobulinski, “The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period.”

The question of how Joe Biden made his millions after a career in politics is becoming clearer. Influence peddling was his bread and butter, and the more he advanced up the political ladder, the greater the financial gains.

Bobulinski’s recent testimony has helped to confirm and expose the nature of the Biden family’s foreign influence-peddling racket. As he testified: “His family’s foreign influence peddling operation — from China to Ukraine and elsewhere — sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government. Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family’s business; he was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.”

Furthermore, it explains how a wreck of a character like Hunter Biden was able to make business deals that raked in millions. “The only reason any of these international business transactions took place — with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family — was because Joe Biden was in high office,” Bobulinski stated.

According to a memo from House Republicans last September, from 2014 through 2019, the Biden family and business associates pulled in more than $24 million, with the elder Bidens getting a $15 million cut from that sum.

Bobulinski claimed to have met with Joe Biden back in 2017 regarding business dealings in connection to his ultimately failed “SinoHawk” venture, an attempted deal with the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC. “The Chinese Communist Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or ‘CEFC’ — a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate — successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House,” he testified. “Joe Biden was aware of the CEFC transaction, enabled it, and had a constitutional responsibility and obligation to the American people to shut it down before it began.”

Appearing to corroborate Bobulinski’s CEFC claims was testimony from another Hunter Biden business associate, Rob Walker. When he was asked last month whether Joe Biden had ever been in attendance at any location or meeting with CEFC officials, he replied, “Yes.” When asked if CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming and other associates were at the meeting, Walker answered: “I don’t know if Zang was there, but I believe that Ye was there. I’m certain of it.”

Walker noted that the meeting lasted for roughly 90 minutes and that Joe Biden was present for roughly 10 minutes of it. A new code name for Joe Biden was also uncovered from Walker’s testimony when he stated, “When [Hunter] said his ‘chairman,’ he was talking about his dad, and I think your dismissal of it may have offended him a bit, but you didn’t know what he was talking about.”

Following Walker’s testimony, House Republicans stated, “The committee can now confirm Joe Biden met with nearly every foreign national who funneled money to his son.”

The picture of the Biden family’s corruption is becoming clearer. The great irony is that Democrats and their media cohorts were incensed over a hoax about Donald Trump colluding with Russia, even though there was never any evidence supporting it. Yet as the evidence of Biden’s foreign influence peddling continues to mount, the Democrats ridiculously insist that there is no there there, and the mainstream media remains mum.
