James Biden May Be More Dangerous to Joe Than Hunter.
Republicans have focused on Hunter Biden, largely because of the laptops, the flagrant activities in Ukraine and China, the obscene criminality of his rampages, and the sheer amount of information, but the linkage between Hunter’s business affairs and his father remains much less documented than the more extended ties between Joe’s brother, James.
There’s been a long history of James’ business affairs and this is only the latest episode.
According to the documents, Jim told a former senior US Treasury official working as a private investigator that he was hired to negotiate with the Saudis ‘because of his position and relationship’ to VP Joe Biden – who led delegations to Saudi Arabia at the time.
‘[Biden] stated that he was often sent to meetings to represent Hill because ‘of course, the name didn’t hurt,’ and he was the former Vice-President’s brother, or words to that effect. He repeated this statement at least twice during the interview.
‘I asked specifically if he had attended a meeting with the Saudi Ministry of Trade in mid-February 2012 to receive the final payment for the work Hill had performed. He answered that, to the best of his memory, he had been at such a meeting, and that the reason he had attended was “because of his position and relationship” with his brother.’
In a May 2022 affidavit, Lankford & Reed partner V. Thomas Lankford described the alleged double-cross.
‘After many delays, a meeting was finally scheduled for mid-February, 2012, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,’ he wrote. ‘The Professional Firms were excluded from this meeting. Hill, acting through [its CEO, Irvin] Richter, sent Jim Biden – the then sitting Vice President’s brother.
‘Richter confided that he selected Biden because KSA [the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia] would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal.
It gets creepier from there.
Sullivan added that he had a brief exchange with Jim’s attorney wife Sara, who told him ‘he doesn’t like us talking to people’.
The affidavit does not specify who ‘he’ refers to, but a source briefed on the case told DailyMail.com that it was Joe Biden.
‘I didn’t ask for a further explanation since I was looking at two large men in dark suits, in a big black sedan parked on a side street looking directly into their house down the walkway I had just exited,’ Sullivan wrote. ‘I thought they were some type of security, probably Secret Service.’
Joe Biden’s family were not entitled to Secret Service protection at the time, as he had ended his term as Vice President.
‘Sara and I walked to my car. She told me that her husband and his brother were very close, and that they told each other everything. I reached inside to give her a card, and just as I did, a blue sedan, with a single male driving, pulled quickly into their driveway. She said ‘See what I mean?’
All of this gets a good deal creepier if we revisit a story that I had reported on back in October 2020.
“James Biden mentioned that his brother’s connections to labor unions and the Department of Veterans Affairs would help DMM expand its model nationwide,” a lawsuit filed by one company claims.
Mayor Anthony Court, a Democrat, recalls White constantly dropping Biden’s name.
White would later claim that Biden told him, “there’s not a single door in the country that we can’t open.”
Another partner was promised that their “model would be used by Joe Biden as part of his campaign.”
“We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden,” James Biden had once boasted. There’s no denying that. How else could a college dropout and failed nightclub owner be in demand around the world, or help score a billion dollar contract to build homes in Iraq?
After they sued Biden and his partners, they received an envelope filled with “blood-stained currency from a Middle Eastern country” linked to terrorists and a “torture ticket” resulting in an FBI investigation.
There was a federal probe back in 2020 that we haven’t heard from since.
James Biden has been a lot bolder in cashing in on Joe’s name and saying so. Hunter, if anything, was actually a good deal more discreet, even in the throes of his drugs and prostitution escapades leaving behind less of a trail tying in Joe than James did. And it’s James who may ultimately prove more dangerous to Joe.
Bidens’ people have framed his relationship with Hunter as a loving father trying to help his self-destructive son. All the laptop materials that were released only play into that narrative. But that same gameplan won’t work with James Biden. He’s not a desperate drug addict with kids. He’s a guy who got very rich because of his brother.

Peter Scweitzer in his books has covered the corruption of the entire Biden clan. As well as others as well, including Mitch McConnell and even Jared Kushner!
I think that these days, Leftists are happy to tolerate corruption if it’s done by their own team. Conservatives are more discerning: we weren’t too fond of the corruption of McConnell, Paul Ryan, the Bushes, Cheneys and even Jared Kushner’s wasn’t quite tolerated even by Trump fans
I think that those who think that Biden would have gotten fewer votes had people known about his corruption are somewhat delusional. Those were issues in the 20th century. In the 21st century, corruption is ostensibly an issue, except that the people who’d vote against one on that would vote against one anyway!
Hoi Polloi says
Schweizer is great and discusses the way BHO warped the DOJ as well. I agree, based on the people I know who refuse to move past msnbc, that all this could have been aired pre-election and they’d have excused it.

“Vote for me and I’ll fight for you” is the
popular saying among many politicians.
But most of those politicians fight for their own wallets and pockets. However, it is a very good public relations statement and
that is why so many politicians who keep doing the same type of thing over and over keep getting elected. When will the majority
of voters in the US wake up? 🤔
Keith O says
You’ve noticed! The only common denominator with our political masters is their greed and the stupidity of the voters.

The Bidens certainly, to this outsider living in Australia, do seem like a very grubby family, sort of like a criminal enterprise out to make money in all sorts of corrupt ways. And then you have Joe Biden’s creepy as hell pedophilic behaviour where he sniffs young girls’ hair making them very uncomfortable. How Biden managed to climb so high up the greasy pole is a mystery to me. Apart from the corrupt practices, whenever I have seen Joe Biden sniffing girls’ hair, I immediately think, that would end the creep’s political ambitions here in Australia. Just too weird and too creepy for people to put up with although we have certainly had some grubby politicians out here
Keith O says
Your not wrong about our grubby politicians Tim.
We only have to look at our last PM Scroto or Sarah Hanson-Young or even that bikie moll Lydia Thorpe.
The current crop of Lib/Nats are as corrupt as the days in Antarctica are long.
One of the few good ones would have to be the Katers and Jacqui Lambie, at least they have the interests of their people at heart, not big business.
tim gallagher says
I suppose there are politicians who are on the take and crooked in all countries,Keith O. As I said about Joe Biden, when I see this twisted creep basically mauling young girls right there in public, then I can’t believe that such creepy behaviour did not end his political career. I’m sure that you would agree, as a fellow Australian, that it would have ended a political career out here.
Keith O says
It should have Tim, do you recall the meeting Lydia Thorpe ad with some female elders in her office?
She was screaming at them so loud she was spitting at them across the table.
One of her staffers had to rescue the aunties from her office.
Because that skank held the balance of power with the Lib/Nats it was made to go away.
tim gallagher says
I do remember that appalling behaviour from Thorpe, Keith O. She obviously needs to have some self control and rein in her bad temper. I didn’t hear the details of how disgusting her behaviour was, but she didn’t seem to face any repercussions. There is no excuse for anyone to behave so badly. I hope that she will have a fairly short career. There are many politicians around, in many different countries, who do seem to be terrible, egomaniacal scum. I suppose they are people who crave power and once they get it they behave like the low forms of life that they are.
Hoi Polloi says
The behavior is perverted but I never saw reports pre-2020. One tween girl whose nipple he repeatedly grabbed and twisted says she was silenced.
tim gallagher says
That is terrible, Hoi Polloi. The amazing thing to me, and I have seen several incidents where Joe Biden is making young girls very uncomfortable because they have shown them on the “Outsiders” show here on Sky News, is how he has carried on in this creepy way right there in public. It amazes and shocks me.
Hoi Polloi says
It is terrible and shocking.
Don McKellar says
The Biden Crime Family is an American legend unfolding before our eyes. Where is the modern day Elliot Ness?
wpm says
The large group of 3 letter federal agencies are on the democratic payroll for funding and support .A modern “Elliot Ness” would be castrated by his supervisors and if he did not fall in line fired. The mission by their actions in the last 20 years is to protect and cover up the crimes committed by the high ranking democrat and rino republicans elected officials .The Bushes ,The Clintons ,Obama real up the ante by putting his minions in charge of most agencies so his empty suit Biden and a man on the take for over 50 years in federal government, a man in mental decline ,Obama,s third term puppet in my opinion. The system is broken only a purge of all heads and civil serviced intrenched upper ranks heading these agencies would bring any reform .

wpm says,
“A modern “Elliot Ness” would be castrated by his supervisors and if he did not fall in line fired.”
Yes, that about sums it up.
OLD GUY says
All bluster, nothing will happen to the Biden’s or any of the other top players in Washington D.C. Yep we the TAX PAYER will pay for Washington Law firms to investigate and write thousands of pages of opinions and briefs that are inconclusive. A sacrificial lamb from the lower level staff members will be convicted for lying or misleading investigators. But no body at the top will be touched. Followed by a Presidential pardon of the convicted. FREEDOM
