We need to know what relationship exists

between the Biden family and China 

For at lease five years now the national news media has not done a good job of reporting the relationship of the Biden family, including President Joe Biden and the Chinese government.

If there is a relationship between the Biden family and the Chinese government, I wonder how that effects our National Security.

Last week, Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk told his followers that owning Twitter now means he controls every aspect of the company, including what it’s employees said behind closed doors before he took over.

Earlier last week, Musk teased the release of what he called “The Twitter Files,” declaring that the public “deserves to know what really happened” behind the scenes during Twitter’s decision to stifle a story about Hunter Biden back in 2020.

According to a story by Taylor Hatmaker, “On Friday evening, Musk, Twitter’s new owner shared a thread from author and Substack writer Matt Taibbi who is apparently now in possession of the trove of internal documents, which he opted to painstakingly share one tweet at a time, in narrative form.” 

We will have to wait and see what information about the Biden family is contained in these tweets, and how Twitter’s decision affected the 2020 Presidential election.

In a letter, dated October 26, 2022, two United States Senators, Charles E. Grassley (R-IA) and our Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to David Weiss, United States Attorney for the District of Delaware. Part of the letter stated:

“Since August 2019, we have been investigating Hunter Biden’s and James Biden’s financial connections to foreign governments and questionable foreign nationals. On September 23, 2020, and November 18, 2020, we publicly released our Biden Reports that showed potential criminal financial activity with respect to Hunter and James Biden. In addition, our reports showed how their extensive links to foreign governments and questionable foreign nationals posed counterintelligence and extortion concerns. Our work was falsely labeled by the liberal media and some of our Democratic colleagues as advancing Russian disinformation. Therefore, to prove them wrong, on March 28, 2022; March 29, 2022 and April 5, 2022, we released financial records during Senate floor speeches that corroborated and further substantiated the foreign financial transactions and connections we described in our previous reports. The bank records we are providing you today supplement those floor speeches.” 

In a March 30, 2022 story, the Washington Post reported that; “over the course of 14 months, the Chinese energy conglomerate and its executive paid $4.8 million to entities controlled by Hunter Biden and his uncle, according to government records, court documents and newly disclosed bank statements, as well as emails contained on a copy of a laptop hard drive that purportedly once belonged to Hunter Biden.

The Post did not find evidence that Joe Biden personally benefited from or knew details about the transactions with CEFE, which took place after he had left the vice presidency and before he announced his intentions to run for President in 2020.”

And finally, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-KY) and Republican lawmakers held a press conference “revealing evidence of President Biden’s involvement in his family business schemes and several federal crimes that may have been committed by members of the President’s family. During his remarks, Ranking Member Comer pointed to documents, communications, and information revealing the extent of the Biden family’s influence peddling to enrich themselves to the detriment of U. S. interests. Ranking member Comer emphasized that the evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is compromised or swayed by foreign dollars and influence.”

So we should all know that the dealings of the Biden family will occupy much space for the next two years. So the faster we as citizens get the right and truthful information the better off the entire nation will be.
