Is Biden compromised by China? 

&NewLine;<p>Before getting into the President Biden China connection&comma; we need to review the essential facts of the relationship between President Trump and Russia for the purpose of seeing the parallels – and the distinctions&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>Trump and Russia<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>During President Trump’s administration&comma; much was made of relationships between him&comma; the Trump Organization and Russia – largely due to his past business interests and his inexplicable friendly words for Vladimir Putin&period;&nbsp&semi; Despite the absence of any evidence&comma; Democrats and their media pals constantly ran stories speculating on an untoward relationship between Trump and Putin&period;&nbsp&semi; They accused Trump of being an asset for the Russian Federation&period;&nbsp&semi; There was constant speculation attempting to explain why Trump was not hard on Russia – even though he was much harder on Russia than had been President Obama&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>To further their false narrative&comma; Hillary Clinton&&num;8217&semi;s campaign even funded a phony dossier supposedly revealing what Putin had on Trump&period;&nbsp&semi; That dossier kicked off a two-year investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller&period;&nbsp&semi; After spending more than &dollar;35 million dollars&comma; interviewing thousands of witnesses and traveling all over the world&comma; Mueller concluded that neither Trump nor the Trump campaign had criminally colluded with Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign&period;&nbsp&semi; Total vindication&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Muller did note several instances where Trump MIGHT HAVE obstructed justice – essentially obstructing the Mueller investigation that found Trump innocent of criminal conspiracy&period;&nbsp&semi; Mueller was not convinced that Trump committed obstruction&comma; or he would have said so&period;&nbsp&semi; Rather he left that decision up to his bosses in the Department of Justice&period;&nbsp&semi; They determined Trump had not&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>Biden and China<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Like Trump&comma; the Biden family had a business relationship with China – but one that was much deeper and more profitable than Trump’s with Russia&period;&nbsp&semi; It was mostly through the President’s son&comma; Hunter&comma; and brother&comma; James&period;&nbsp&semi; The multimillion-dollar deals did not pass the smell test&period;&nbsp&semi; There were huge sums or money paid to the Bidens for dubious work – other than to use their connection to reach then Vice President Biden&period;&nbsp&semi; They call it influence peddling&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In addition&comma; Hunter and James are currently under investigation for potential multiple violations of the foreign agent laws&period;&nbsp&semi; Those require Americans representing or lobbying on behalf of a foreign government to register with the State Department&period;&nbsp&semi; Neither Hunter nor James did so&period;&nbsp&semi; Hunter is facing tax evasion charges&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The plot thickens after Biden left the Vice Presidency&period;&nbsp&semi; Was he the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;big guy” referred to in various messages revealed on Hunter’s infamous laptop computer&quest;&nbsp&semi; Was he getting 10 percent of the questionable deals&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>It has been reported from tax filings and other information that Biden’s net worth rose from &dollar;3 million to the current level of &dollar;9 million since leaving the Vice Presidency&period;&nbsp&semi; We know that Hunter was helping the old man out by paying many of Joe’s monthly bills with money Hunter received from China &lpar;Russia and Ukraine&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Like Trump and Putin&comma; Biden has not engaged in harsh criticism of China’s President Xi Jinping&period;&nbsp&semi; Even as China has become more hostile to the United States – and more threatening to Taiwan &lpar;with which America has a defense treaty&rpar;&period;&nbsp&semi; Biden has not taken any significant action against China’s unfair trade policies … its theft of American intellectual property … its attempts to infiltrate the American banking system … its violating the sanctions placed on Russia by America and other nations over the Ukraine War&period;&nbsp&semi; There were no ramifications when China sided with Russia in the United Nations&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>More recently&comma; the Biden administration is working to pressure House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from carrying through with her planned trip to Taiwan – after President Xi demanded the trip be cancelled&period;&nbsp&semi; Was Biden compromised into making that call&comma; or was it just an example of his weak nature when it comes to foreign policy&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>There is more than enough smoke to suspect a nefarious reason behind Biden’s softness toward China&period;&nbsp&semi; If the media were to apply a similar standard that they used with Trump&comma; there would be speculation that perhaps China &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;has something on Biden&period;”&nbsp&semi; That speculation was heaped onto Trump – arguably with less evidence&period;&nbsp&semi; Remember&comma; they had to create the phony dossier to make up for the absence of evidence&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>I do not know the answer to Biden’s cozy relationship with China&period;&nbsp&semi; But it is safe to say that the left-leaning media is not applying the same standards of journalistic curiosity in the Biden case&period;&nbsp&semi; It can be said that the FBI is not exhibiting the same level of zeal in pursuing the information&period;&nbsp&semi; It may not be sufficient to reach any conclusions of criminality by the Biden family&comma; there definitely is enough to open an investigation&period;&nbsp&semi; And it is curious why that is not happening&period;&nbsp&semi; Why it appears that the FBI and the media are not as interested in pursuing this case&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Things might be different if the Republicans take control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections – and the White House in 2024&period;&nbsp&semi; It would be both sad and ironic if two ex-presidents were to be pursued by criminal probes upon leaving office&period;&nbsp&semi; But that is a possibility&period;&nbsp&semi; We live in interesting times&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
