Chinese nationals aren’t the only foreigners who enriched the family while Joe Biden was vice president, Republicans on the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability revealed today.
Another source of ill-gotten riches for the Biden Mafia, arranged through global business wizard Hunter, was a corrupt Romanian who funneled money to the family through one of Hunter’s “associates.”
Ukraine. China. Now Romania. And those aren’t the only three countries.
Committee gumshoes might save some time if they identified the countries that have not made Joe Biden and his brood richer than Croseus.
Bank Memo 2
And rich they did become, as a committee memorandum released today revealed. The Biden Gang ran a major influence-peddling scheme that began almost as soon as Joe Biden became vice president under Barack Obama.
Committee chief James Comer of Kentucky and GOP committee colleagues appeared at a news conference to discuss the “Second Bank Record Memorandum” that details the scheme. Containing records obtained via subpoenas, the memorandum unravels a complex web of interlocking shell companies that collected money not only from the Chinese but also Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu’s Cypriot company.
“The Bidens and their business associates formed a series of companies in a relatively short amount of time; the overwhelming majority were created during Joe Biden’s vice presidency,” the memo avers:
The Committee has identified over 20 companies affiliated with certain Biden family members and their business associates, formed mostly in Delaware and Washington, D.C.…
After assuming the vice presidency in 2009, records reveal Hunter Biden and his business associates formed at least 15 companies. Wires and money transfers through the shell companies range from $5,000 to almost $3 million.
Romanian Rhapsody
After reprising details from the First Bank Memorandum, which explained how money went from China through Hunter Biden sidekick Rob Walker, the second memo details the loot that came from Romanian Popoviciu.
Wouldn’t you know it, that happened after Godfather Joe sat down with Romanian President Klau Iohannis on September 28, 2015. One subject: corruption.
“Within five weeks of this meeting, Bladon Enterprises Limited (Bladon Enterprises) began making deposits into Robinson Walker, LLC’s bank account,” the memo reports:
Bladon Enterprises is reported to be Gabriel Popoviciu’s Cypriot company that he used to conduct business in Romania. From November 2015 to May 2017, Bladon Enterprises paid Robinson Walker, LLC over $3 million.
Robinson Walker, LLC was the shell company Rob Walker set up in 2008. A shade more than $1 million just happened to hit “Biden family accounts” after the Bladon deposits. And 16 of the 17 Bladon-Robinson Walker payments “were made while Joe Biden was Vice President.”
Recipients included Hunter, his former lover and brother’s widow, Hallie, and “an unknown Biden bank account.”
“As reported by NBC News, ‘Hunter Biden’s work for Popoviciu in 2016 went unreported at the time, but Joe Biden’s involvement in Romania was very much public,'” the memo continues:
The vice president was among the leading voices pushing the government to crack down on corruption.
According to the New York Times, Hunter Biden’s attorney, George Mesires, “acknowledged that Hunter Biden referred Mr. Popoviciu to both Boies Schiller Flexner, the law firm where Hunter Biden worked at the time, and Mr. [Louis] Freeh’s firm, Freeh Group International Solutions.” To be clear, the $3 million in payments to Robinson Walker, LLC was not from Boies Schiller Flexner or Freeh Group International Solutions—the money was wired directly from Bladon Enterprises.
The Committee is investigating why the Bidens used Robinson Walker, LLC to receive money from what a news report has described as “a side pocket agreement directly with Popoviciu.…” After certain Bladon Enterprises deposits were made, the Biden bank accounts received over $1 million in payments via Robinson Walker, LLC. It appears from bank records the Bidens were using Robinson Walker, LLC to conceal that the source of these payments was Popoviciu.
The Committee is further concerned that while Vice President Biden advocated publicly for anti-corruption policies in Romania, bank records show Biden family members and business associates were simultaneously reaping in significant amounts of money from a Romanian individual at the center of a Romanian corruption scandal.
If that sounds familiar, it should. Biden forced Ukraine to fire an anti-corruption prosecutor who was investigating Burisma Holdings, another company that paid Hunter to do nothing.
Biden Lied
Not that Joe Biden will ever confess the truth.
As the memo notes, Biden has repeatedly claimed, most notably during his second debate with President Trump on October 22, 2020, that his family has not profited from his political power:
My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China.… The only guy who made money from China is this guy [Donald Trump]. He’s the only one. Nobody else has made money from China.
That’s a lie, the memo observes:
The bank records [the committee subpoenaed] refute President Biden’s statement.… In 2017 alone, bank records show President Biden’s family and their related companies received millions of dollars from Chinese foreign nationals’ companies. This amount does not include payments from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Romania, Oman, or other foreign business deals the Committee is investigating.
