Attorney General Bill Barr reportedly knew about the Hunter Biden tax probes for months but kept them under wraps

He sees no evidence of voter fraud either. Don't think the Durham report will come out until after Bribem wins his first Nobel prize. Imagine Bribem was in the White House and Trump was running against him and they had all the same damning evidence on Don Jr. Think they would have run with it?

Attorney General William Barr knew about two criminal investigations into Hunter Biden's financial dealings for months before the general election but kept them from the public, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The news is a remarkable twist in Barr's tenure as President Donald Trump's attorney general, during which he repeatedly took steps to benefit the president and feed into his conspiracy theories.

According to The Journal, Barr knew about the Biden tax investigations since at least the spring but tried to keep them under wraps in accordance with Justice Department rules that prevent prosecutors from taking overt investigative steps that could affect the outcome of an election.

Thursday's report will likely infuriate Trump, who has been frustrated with Barr in recent months and came close to firing him on several occasions before aides talked the president out of it.

Attorney General William Barr knew for months about two investigations into Hunter Biden's financial activity but worked to shield them from the public, The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday.

The news is a remarkable twist in Barr's tenure as President Donald Trump's attorney general, during which time he repeatedly took steps to aid the president and feed into his talking points about the Russia investigation, the Obama administration, and the 2020 election.

Barr's reported attempts to keep the Hunter Biden probes from becoming public were in accordance with Justice Department rules that restrict prosecutors from taking public investigative steps that could affect the outcome of an election. President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 general election, notching 306 Electoral College votes compared with Trump's 232.

Hunter Biden announced that he was being investigated on Wednesday after CNN reached out to the Biden transition team when it learned that the younger Biden was the subject of criminal inquiries into his finances.

"I learned yesterday for the first time that the US Attorney's Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs," Hunter Biden said in a statement on Wednesday. "I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors."

Subsequent media reports said the investigation was broader in scope than Hunter Biden initially indicated, with The New York Times revealing that the tax probe grew out of what started off as a money-laundering investigation in late 2018. Politico also reported, citing one source, that in addition to Delaware prosecutors, the securities fraud unit at the Manhattan US attorney's office investigated Hunter Biden's finances, and as of early 2019, prosecutors in both Delaware and Washington, DC, were examining possible foreign ties and money laundering.

The Times reported that the money laundering inquiry has since fizzled out from a lack of evidence, but that investigators with the Internal Revenue Service are continuing to scrutinize Hunter Biden's taxes.

The younger Biden has not been charged in any criminal activity related to the investigations or prior inquiries. The president-elect is also not a subject of interest in the probes focusing on his son.

Thursday's reporting from The Journal about Barr's role in keeping the Hunter Biden investigations from the public will likely infuriate the president, who has been frustrated with the attorney general in recent weeks and was on the brink of firing him several times before aides talked Trump out of it.

The Justice Department declined to comment to The Journal, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Really starting to wonder about this guy

If Joe Biden’s son and brother are both under federal investigation, it strains credulity that Joe Biden himself is not on the radar screen of federal investigators

The Biden money laundering crime family

What a coincidence Hunter and Jim part of team 'plausible deniability’ under investigation at the same time. Just once I would love to see someone finally go to jail.

James Biden, brother and alleged business partner of Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden, is under federal investigation, according to a report by Politico published late Wednesday night.

The investigation into Joe Biden’s brother was included in an article about the extent of the federal investigation into Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden. The Politico report claims Joe Biden does not appear to be under investigation.

Excerpt:

The federal investigation into President-elect Joe Biden’s son Hunter has been more extensive than a statement from Hunter Biden indicates, according to a person with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.

On Wednesday, Hunter Biden said he had been contacted about a tax investigation out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware.

In addition to Delaware, the securities fraud unit in the Southern District of New York also scrutinized Hunter Biden’s finances, according to the person with direct knowledge of the investigation. The person said that, as of early last year, investigators in Delaware and Washington were also probing potential money laundering and Hunter Biden’s foreign ties. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

In addition to the probe into Hunter Biden, federal authorities in the Western District of Pennsylvania are conducting a criminal investigation of a hospital business in which Joe Biden’s brother James was involved. Federal officials have asked questions about James Biden’s role in the business, according to a second person with direct knowledge of that investigation, who said it remains ongoing.

There is no indication that Joe Biden himself is under investigation, but if the cases remain open when Joe Biden takes office, they could complicate his presidency, and shine an unflattering light on his relatives’ dealings, which often seek to capitalize on the Biden family’s political connections.

…FBI agents, meanwhile, have been asking about James Biden’s dealings with the hospital company Americore Health, an operator of rural hospitals, as part of an investigation based out of the Western District of Pennsylvania, according to the person with direct knowledge of that investigation.

In late January, FBI agents raided an Americore hospital in Ellwood City, Pa., and carted off boxes…

End excerpt. Please read the complete Politico article at this link.

James Biden was asked by Fox News last October about his alleged business dealings with Joe, Hunter and Tony Bobulinski. James Biden refused to answer questions called out by a reporter across the street from his home on Maryland’s 

Eastern Shore. 

Excerpt:

…Bobulinski said he raised concerns in 2017 to the former vice president’s brother Jim Biden, about Joe Biden’s alleged ties to a possible joint venture with a Chinese energy firm.

Bobulinski, a retired lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, was the former CEO of SinoHawk Holdings, which he said was the partnership between the CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming and the two Biden family members.

“I remember saying, ‘How are you guys getting away with this?’ ‘Aren’t you concerned?’” he told Carlson.

He claims that Jim Biden chuckled. “‘Plausible Deniability.’ He said it directly to me in a cabana at the Peninsula Hotel,” Bobulinski said.

Asked about the “plausible deniability” claim on Wednesday, Jim Biden did not answer and walked inside the home…

Democrat congressman Eric Swalwell refuses to say if he had sex with China spy because it's 'classified'

Eric Swalwell was just one of the California Democrats Fang had a relationship with. He refuses to say whether that relationship was sexual, claiming it's 'classified'

Of course, he blames the president for the revelations... 

https://www.foxnews.com/media/jonathan-swan-swalwell-claim-trump-behind-china-spy-report-risible

Looks like he's sharing the crack pipe with Hunter.

Rep. Eric Swalwell.

(Remember this imbecile once ran for president)

Have you ever wondered what China has on Biden's son? A potential black male scheme in the making?

-----------------------------------

 On Tuesday, Axios reported that a suspected Chinese spy got close to Rep. Eric Swalwell early in his political career, and separately slept with two unnamed US mayors, as part of a years long intelligence campaign.

Well...we can eliminate him:

Christine Fang first met Swalwell when he was City Council member in Dublin, California, and later fundraised for him and placed an intern in his Washington, DC office, according to Axios.

Swalwell immediately cut ties with Fang when he learned about her connections to China. He has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Axios also did not report on or suggest any sexual relationship between Swalwell and Fang.

But on Tuesday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that US intelligence officials believe Swalwell and Fang had a sexual relationship, and that Swalwell's office declined to comment on the matter.

Fox News told Insider that the suspicions of a sexual relationship between Swalwell and Fang came from original reporting.

Swalwell and his office did not respond to Insider's multiple requests for comment. But he did appear on CNN to question the source and timing of the Axios investigation, suggesting someone was trying to harm him because he criticized President Donald Trump.

Rep. Eric Swalwell's office has not responded to multiple requests for comment from Insider on whether or not he had a sexual relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.

The allegation that Swalwell was more than an acquaintance of the woman originally came from Fox News' Tucker Carlson, after an Axios report connected the influential Democrat to a woman who abruptly fled the US in 2015 while under investigation by the FBI. 

On Tuesday, Axios published a report detailing the activities of Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang, a woman whom US counterintelligence officials believe was part of an operation to influence up-and-coming American politicians on behalf of China.

According to the report, Fang was heavily involved in Bay Area and national US politics from 2011 to 2015, and slept with at least two Midwestern mayors as part of a yearslong intelligence campaign.

Fang was also introduced to Swalwell when he was a City Council member in Dublin, California, and later helped fundraise for him and even placed an intern in his Washington, DC office when he was elected to Congress, Axios said.

Swalwell is currently one of the best-known Democrats in the House of Representatives and sits on the powerful House Intelligence Committee. He also unsuccessfully ran for president in the 2020 Democratic primary.

Axios said that Swalwell immediately cut ties with Fang when he learned about her connections to China in 2015, and that he has not been accused of any wrongdoing. 

However, on his Tuesday night show, Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that "US intelligence officials believe that Fang had a sexual relationship with Eric Swalwell" and that his office refused to comment on the allegation "because such information might be 'classified.'"

While Axios reported Fang had romantic or sexual relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors, both of whom were unnamed, it did not make any allegation nor suggestion that Fang and Swalwell had sex.

Swalwell's office also did not return messages requesting clarification from Insider.

Swalwell is currently married with two children. He married his wife, Brittany Watts, in October 2016. 

On Wednesday, a representative for Fox News told Insider that Carlson's claim about a sexual relationship between Swalwell and Fang came from original reporting, without giving more information.

But he did appear on CNN, where he drew attention to how the story says he was not accused of any wrongdoing. 

Swalwell said he was "shocked" when the FBI first informed him about Fang's connection to China, and cooperated with the agency's investigation into her. 

He also questioned the source and timing of Axios' investigation, which started a year ago, when Swalwell was working on President Donald Trump's impeachment. 

"If this is a country where people who criticize the president are going to have law-enforcement information weaponized against them, that's not a country that any of us want to live in. I hope it is investigated who leaked this information," Swalwell said.

When asked whether he was concerned he may have passed sensitive information to Fang, Swalwell told CNN that he knew he didn't. 

"The Axios story made clear that no information was ever shared," he said. "The people who did share classified information were the people who leaked this story."

According to Axios, senior US intelligence officials started briefing Fang's targets in 2015, and Fang abruptly left the US for China mid-2015 during an FBI investigation into her. She has not returned to the US since, and the Justice Department has not filed any charges against her.

Hunter Biden under federal investigation for possible tax fraud

Of all the shit he/they have pulled off... wouldn’t it be something if he went down for this? They colluded with China and Ukraine using Joe's position to deceive the American people so I guess it's no surprise Hunter, a scum bag, didn't pay his taxes.

 He took this matter "very seriously” while categorically denying it. He said the same shit when the stripper accused him of fathering her child until his DNA proved he is a liar! Oh...and don't forget this is the same guy who was bonking his dead brother's wife. 

I fear this may go the same way as his laptop. I haven't heard a peep about it in a month. Wray has it sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust. 

We should be getting a report any day now that it was accidentally destroyed. You know, like the simultaneous hard drive crash at the IRS.

President-elect Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden on Wednesday revealed he’s under federal investigation for possible tax fraud.

Biden, 50, disclosed the probe in a statement released by his father’s presidential transition office.

“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” Hunter Biden said in a statement.

“I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”

A statement attributed to “the Biden-Harris Transition” said, “President-elect Biden is deeply proud of his son, who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger.”

The Post reported in October <https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/> that the FBI acquired in December 2019 a computer hard drive abandoned by Hunter Biden at a Delaware computer repair shop, according to documents provided by the shop owner.

Some of the documents from the hard drive appeared to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s business dealings in China and Ukraine.
