The Biden Family Racket Is Everything Leftists Fabricated About The Trumps, And Media Are Crickets
The real scandal isn’t about Trump, it’s about the legacy media’s lack of coverage of the Biden family’s shady dealings.
President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden are the picture of scandal and corruption that the Democrats and corporate media tried to make former President Donald Trump and his family out to be — but instead of covering the bombshell stories, the press is turning a blind eye.
Even before Trump won the election in 2016 after gaining popularity for calling out “fake news,” Democrats and the media were out to get him. Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired lawyers who hired a firm that hired Christopher Steele to dredge up fake news about Trump colluding with Russia. This fake information was then fed to the Obama administration which launched a spy campaign against Trump and his aides based on false pretenses.
During Trump’s time in office, the corporate media gave him hell for everything he did. They scrutinized his tweets, twisted his words, and intentionally tried to undermine his presidency using lies that won Pulitzers.
While the Russia collusion hoax and discredited Steele dossier still dominated corporate media coverage about Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr., Democrats orchestrated two sham impeachments against the president, whom they claimed was guilty of treason. These political attacks were sustained with plenty of negatively framed press coverage about Trump’s sons, daughters, and son-in-law.
It was all lies.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of real scandals about the Biden family and their conflicts of interest that deserve extra scrutiny but are merely snubbed by the corporate press.
There are literal receipts of the Biden family conducting shady business dealings overseas and profiting off of relationships with sworn enemies but the corporate press doesn’t seem to mind. Publications such as The Washington Post and The New York Times, which won Pulitzers for lying about Trump, worked overtime to intentionally downplay or bury the findings on the laptop and mischaracterize them to save the elder Biden from criticism and possibly losing the 2020 election.
Only now, nearly two years after reporting on Hunter’s abandoned laptop was censored and suppressed under false allegations of “Russian disinformation,” has the press barely admitted the laptop is legit.
Hunter exploited his father’s political reputation to strike business deals with oligarchs in Ukraine and China, a fact that was apparent even before the laptop emerged. Hunter may have even possibly given a portion of his equity deals to Joe Biden but the legacy press refuses to report on that significance.
While Biden was vice president, Hunter was appointed to the Burisma Holdings board of directors for a whopping $50,000 per month despite having no prior energy experience. He also helped his Chinese business partners secure a deal handing them the majority of a cobalt mine in Congo just two weeks after he traveled to Communist China on his dad’s, the then-vice president, Air Force Two jet. Hunter also raked in millions from the ex-Moscow mayor’s wife.
Recent findings suggest the energy company CEFC, dubbed “an arm of the Chinese government” by Republican senators, funneled money directly to a company managed by Hunter to compensate him for offering legal representation to CEFC vice-chairman and secretary-general Dr. Patrick Ho Chi Ping, the “spy chief of China.” The same month CEFC sent the $1 million wire to Hudson West Three, Ho was arrested, charged, and later convicted for using millions of dollars to “bribe top officials of Chad and Uganda in exchange for business advantages for CEFC.” Around the same time of his arrest, Ho made a phone call to James Biden, Joe’s brother.
There is a shocking amount of hypocrisy and corruption when it comes to the corporate media properly addressing the Biden family and all of its corruption. Despite countless real reports and ongoing federal investigations into Hunter and his monetary affairs, the legacy press wants to turn a blind eye to the questionable actions of a tight-knit family whose patriarch is in charge of the U.S. government.
The real scandal isn’t about Trump, it’s about the legacy media’s lack of coverage of Hunter, James, and the rest of the Biden family, which has raked in millions from foreign oligarchs and clearly profited off of the now-president’s name, reputation, and connections.
