Hunter Biden-linked company received $130M in special federal loans while Joe Biden was VP

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...-special-federal-loans-while-joe-biden-was-vp

Hunter Biden's company was getting bailout loans to buy subprime bonds during the bailout after 2008. His company was set up in the Cayman Islands, a well-known tax evasion scheme.

This is more than just another example of how his name got him some great deals. It also shows that he may have been evading taxes.

This also shows that raising taxes on the rich will not pay for the massive social programs being proposed by Democrats. The rich will move their profits offshore. Lower tax rates actually increase tax revenues.

 

From your link:

The younger Biden had stepped down from his lobbying business in late 2008, reportedly due to pressure on his father’s vice presidential campaign.

Biden was Long GONE before the 2009 loans.

What was the problem?

That said, thanks for keeping us up-to-date as to the RW's Daily Installment of Faux Outrage.

Carry on.

 

Yeah the title says that it was Biden-connected. So Hunter is clean as a whistle, right?

 

So we should make Hunter president given evading US taxes and getting special treatment from one's father seems to equate to a great business man who will change Washington for the blue collar worker...?

 

Great Point.

Hunter Biden is following the Donald Trump Career Trajectory to a Tee.

I guess the OP wanted to make sure that everybody knew that Hunter Biden is the Next Generation's Donald Trump.

It all makes sense now.

 

I don't know enough about Biden. Could you point to some of his personal accomplishments, other than riding his father's coat tails throughout his entire life? And surely you don't think that describes Trump, because that is completely inaccurate.

 

It does describe Trump very accurately and you know it. Please don't even try and lie about that because it's so laughable I can't help myself.

The alleged million dollars he got from his daddy was more like 400 million in schemes to avoid taxes. We would know for sure if he would release his tax returns, but he won't. Why? It makes him a fraud and he knows it. He's worked for NO ONE but his daddy, because his current company now IS HIS DADDY'S company. You realize, right?

Now am I claiming Hunter Biden is any less privileged than Donald Trump? I would say by dollar value less only because the Biden's have less money, but that may not matter much as he's definitely benefited from being Joe Biden's son. YOU shouldn't care about that, aren't you the party that supports unlimited inheritance from parents to children anyway? YOU are the the party that is enamored with rich people, so why pick on Hunter and not Donald over being rich and entitled? Allowing families to pass unlimited inheritance down without taxing it IS the very definition of creating entitle children that go on to think they are owed something because of who their parents are.

As for me, I don't doubt Hunter is a spoiled brat. But he's not running for anything. His father is. So while Hunter may be the product of poor parenting, that doesn't make his father a poor candidate for president. Bush Sr raised plenty of spoiled brats and he was a good president. And if we are indicting the father for spoiling their kids, please explain Ivanka and Don Jr, both of which are unqualified to do anything but live off their family name.

Anyway, please stop lying to the rest of us about Trump's incredibly entitled life. Lie to yourself if you must, but spare the rest of us.

 

Again, Hunter may be a spoiled brat and Joe Biden may have spoiled him, but that's not the same as say asking a foreign power to investigate your political opponent. If Hunter runs for president, then they should hang him with this stuff for sure and see if he survives politically. But I'm not sure spoiling one's child disqualifies someone to be president. Nor does nepotism, clearly.

 

And yet, you replied to my absolute joke of a reply. It must have...triggered...something that made you hit reply and then post something void of any facts or coherent argument. Well, the latter is what you always do but you could have skipped over it. And yet you didn't. Why is that? In need of a little attention today?

 

Democrats at no point, yes even to today, do not question why or how the DNC and Hillary went to foreign powers trying to dig up dirt on Trump. And they went to Ukraine as well though they knew it was corrupt big time at that time.

 

How much money has he made?

 

So it worked like this.... U.S government gives foreign aid (U.S. taxpayer money) to Ukraine .
Ukraine gives foreign aid money (U.S. taxpayer money) to Ukrainian companies.
Ukrainian companies give that money (U.S. taxpayer money) to U.S. politicians' family members.

Well isn't that just awesome.

 

Please specify the actions by the DNC and Hillary Clinton you are referring to. I only ask because there's been so much BS and conspiracy put out there, I can't keep it all straight. Is this the oppo research they took over form the republicans after Trump was the nominee? Or something else?

Ukraine's corruption isn't entirely Ukraine's doing, both Russia and the US are partly to blame for it, more so Russia but that's another topic.

 

That's a nice theory, but if that's true, then there should be a pretty solid money trail. And if it were true, it would be in Ukraine's interest to release that information publicly as part of an official investigation. There's nothing stopping them and they only benefit from the current political climate to do so. And yet they haven't. So again, where's the evidence? Speculation on a website isn't evidence, and that includes so called "news" website where many get this type of speculation from.

 

I don't know. Neither him nor Trump have made that information available. Of course, one isn't running for or in the office of the presidency and the other is. So I should only know the answer about one of them. And yet, I don't.

 

If you make it illegal to hide money offshore and you actually enforce the law without a two tiered justice system we could tax the rich and get what they owe.
We get beat out of those taxes because the rich finance campaigns and demand to be paid back.

Start throwing these greedy bastards in prison where they get raped and the rich would obey the law.

With modern tech we could stop these criminals. If only our rulers were not corrupt.

At times in our history we went after graft and corruption. The last time we did that was over a thousand people in the Reagan admin.

Why did we stop? No excuse for it except the changes of the 80s and following years destroyed our republic and gave us oligarchy.

And anyone not blinded by partisanship has no trouble seeing the obvious

 

Having daddy's money doesnt make you a successful businessman unless you actually make money off that money.

 

Hunter Biden isn't president nor does he have the nuclear codes .

 

That's easy, just put it into an index fund, put your feet up, sit back and watch the money grow.

Actually, had Trump done that, he probably would have more money and he could have prevented stiffing many other folks along the way.

 

Donald Trump jr managed to screw the Charleston County taxpayers out of tens of millions .. Does that count?

 

Is this a joke? Trumps kids are all running businesses with a number of foreign entanglements while he’s president. Jareds getting govt contracts, while trump is president. Ivanka is dealing with China, while trump is president. Trump tried to host the G11 at his private business, while he’s president lol

 

I agree, and the same applied to Trump. Given we have no idea how much he's actually worth (his tax returns would help) for all we know, he's LOST money his daddy gave him. I mean, why don't we have him clear it up?

As for Hunter Biden, I don't like Joe Biden much and Hunter isn't even someone I'm concerned with so call him whatever you like.

To heck with the politics. What on earth is the federal government doing by bailing out foreign companies? I want my tax payments back.

 

This was an American company

 

Getting TALF (bailout loans) money then putting the profits in offshore tax havens like the Caymans to evade paying US taxes is completely unethical. Is there evidence that the Trump family was included in this scheme?
