The Biden-China Connection might be more intricate than first thought, when Joe Biden was revealed as the “big guy” in Hunter Biden’s shady dealings with Chinese Reds.
Now, we learn, the University of Pennsylvania hauled in at least $50 million from China after it opened the Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. And that just happens to be where Biden stashed a cache of classified documents. He hid another in his garage back home.
The question, to use the old saw, isn’t just what China Joe knew and when did he know it. The other is this: Did Chinese Reds see those documents when Pal Joey was doddering around D.C. in an ice-cream induced fugue state.
“Patronage Mill”
As the New York Post described it, the Biden Center is a “patronage mill” that just happened to attract a big bag of yuan that came on a fast boat from China.
“The University of Pennsylvania received more than $30 million from Chinese donors shortly after the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, which functioned as an office for Joe Biden before he was elected president, was announced in 2017, according to public records,” the newspaper reported.
Indeed, the outfit is a “a dark-money, revolving-door nightmare where foreign competitors like China donated millions of dollars to the university so that they could have access to future high-ranking officials,” Tom Anderson of the National Legal and Policy Center told the Post.
When the center opened, Penn hit the lottery:
The University of Pennsylvania raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records.
Most of the anonymous donations came after the university officially announced in February 2017 that it would create the academic center named for Biden, whose term as vice president under Barack Obama had just ended. In addition to leading the think tank, Biden was named a professor at the school.
Of course, the university denies that the Center solicited money from China.
Maybe not. But that fact doesn’t change two others. First, U Penn set up Biden’s phony center; second, the university hauled in enough Chinese cash to open a bank in Beijing.
But maybe all that’s serendipity, a strange coincidence, a remarkable stroke of luck.
Then again, you don’t need a fortune cookie to know exactly what happened.
Classified Documents
More concerning than the money, as concerning as that is, are the classified documents China Joe stashed at the Center.
On Monday, hate-Trump, pro-Biden CBS News reported that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland had appointed the U.S. attorney in Chicago, John Lausch, to probe the discovery of the first cache of documents.
CNN disclosed that the documents concerned Iran, Ukraine, and Great Britain. NBC reported yesterday that Biden’s legmen, who scoured other locations for misplaced classified documents, found another batch, but not at the Biden Center.
Instead, they were in Biden’s garage and an adjacent room at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, next to his beloved Corvette, Politico reported.
“By the way, my Corvette’s in a locked garage, okay?” Biden said when a reporter asked about the major indiscretion. “So it’s not like they’re sitting out in the street.”
“Special Counsel,” Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley tweeted when the second blunder was divulged.
“Did the @FBI raid the Biden Center?”
When classified documents surfaced at former President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate, which prompted an FBI raid, Biden was unequivocal.
“How that could possibly happen,” China’s boon companion told Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes:
How one — anyone could be that irresponsible. And I thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods? By that I mean names of people who helped or — et cetera. And it just — totally irresponsible.
Also irresponsible is a former vice president’s name showing up in an email that describes him as a stakeholder in a business deal with Chinese Reds.
“10 [percent of a deal] held by H for the big guy,” an email from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop explained. Tony Bobulinski, one of Hunter Biden’s former business partners, divulged that the “big guy” was indeed Biden.
That connection raises the obvious observation that the Chinese didn’t send all those wontons to the Ivy League Penn for nothing, and they certainly expected something in exchange.
And given Hunter Biden’s tight association with the Reds, federal authorities must ask if and when they showed up at the Biden Center, and if so, for whom they were, and for what reason.
