Another of Hunter Biden's Paymasters Received $130 Million In Special Federal Loans While Pop-Pop Was Vice President

An investment firm linked to Hunter Biden received over $130 million in federal bailout loans while his father Joe Biden was vice president and routed profits through a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, according to federal banking and corporate records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Financial experts said the offshore corporate structure could have been used to shield earnings from U.S. taxes.
Rosemont Capital, an investment firm at the center of Hunter Biden’s much-scrutinized financial network, was one of the companies approved to participate in the 2009 federal loan program known as the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF.
Under the program, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank issued billions of dollars in highly favorable loans to select investors who agreed to buy bonds that banks were struggling to offload, including bundled college and auto loans.

52 Biden - if he even makes it to nomination or GE, will be stomped. His crude scandals will continue to emerge.

But the real scandal here is the TALF, and everything like it, which was Treasury's and the Fed's nice trick of using even *more* public $$$ or public financial backing to clean up the disastrous mess they'd help make for years.

Funny, just as with mortgages, and all real insurance, the formulas and business practices to make them work were mastered long ago, and if allowed to work normally, would limit credit crises to trivial episodes. But if many incompetent reckless fingers are pushing on all the scales, disaster eventually guaranteed.

Impeachment Inquiry Canceled After 5 Episodes Due To Low Ratings

WASHINGTON, D.C.--The exciting new TV show Impeachment Inquiry was poised to take the ratings by storm, promising to eclipse all the other shows in its time slot. But the show will be canceled after one season, like a lot of bad TV shows and also Firefly.

After just five rocky episodes that failed to deliver any major plot twists, producers pulled the plug on the impeachment inquiry due to lack of viewers.

"The showrunners promised all these big bombshells, shocking twists, and startling revelations, but they weren't able to deliver," said one reviewer writing in Hollywood Reporter. "When there are so many better options out there---rewatching The Office, checking out The Good Place, staring at paint as it slowly dries---why would people tune into this tepid, uninspired mess?"

22% of Americans said they were disappointed with the show so far, while 78% said, "Impeachment hearings are going on?"

At publishing time, sources had confirmed that J.J. Abrams had been in charge of writing the plot and simply forgot to tie up all the loose ends.

According to the OMB, total federal outlay 2009-2017 (yes, some of this was Bush and some of Trump's is in here, but we only get annual data easily) was about $32.6 trillion.

So probably around $25-$30 trillion or so.

Graham is requesting:

All documents and communications, including call transcripts or summaries, related to the Vice President’s phone calls with President Poroshenko on February 11, 18, and 19 and March 22 of 2016, especially with respect to whether Vice President Biden mentioned the Prosecutor General’s investigation into Burisma.

205 To be absolutely clear, there will be no tax evasion issue related to Hunter's side of the business. The Cayman structure does not help him avoid taxes.

What will have been illegal is the exchange of favors for investing in the fund, and possibly involvement in the management of the fund. If you can show that a limited partner(ie investor) was actually running the fund, then that runs afoul of various laws. That would easily be avoided if they had stuck someone competent to run the fund, but who knows, maybe they were careless.

273 This is more of the left's constant double standards.

With Trump, the legitimate part of the alarm is always about what he MIGHT be doing this his power and what he COULD do with his power. And whether or not he's always done what is in the interest of America. Any haziness in that area is a cause for suspicion.

On the other hand, with the innocent Dems, you shouldn't worry about what they might have done or could do or how it looks until you provide ROCK HARD PROOF, BUDDY!

It's like grown-up people don't understand that it's not like there are white and black hats.

There are two parts to the alarm about whether Trump is pursuing his own ends or the country's.

Here's the first one, yeah, it would be somewhat bad if Trump is pursuing his own election chances rather than policy. However, here's the Trumper: the Resistance is personal AND about POLICY.

Everybody who likes what Trump is doing POLICY-WISE knows that the Deep State has targetted him to get him removed from office. They have provided SO much resistance that they have slowed down the agenda of the person the founders wanted 100% vested in executive power so that the President has no excuse not to get his agendas done.

And besides, they have interposed their PERSONAL opinions before the will of the American people. It's really hard to be distracted by an investigation when the Deep State has NO LEGITIMACY in what it's doing either--regardless of the casuistry of the Chattering Class on the tube.

But here's the thing about an investigation. Biden said he was cleared by Ukraine. Thus if Biden is really free of guilt on this (he's not, because it still IS a conflict of interest), there is nothing outside of Dem's imagination that says "manufacture dirt" on Biden, so a true investigation will come back with nothing against Biden.

The hugely ironic thing is that Biden doesn't want...the Trump Treatment. He doesn't want that situation where everything is laid out to scrutiny and everybody pours over whether or not this or that action was proper.

I also think that the DNC wants deathly to avoid that situation also.

But again, this is an area where they are judging Trump for what he MIGHT be doing. Not what they have any evidence for--and they don't. Not a whit of it say "make up dirt on Biden".

The only rebuttal I expect is "C'MON!" ("You KNOW he's doing that"--because the libs never get tired of claiming omniscience).

Trump can run commercials next year about DNC (Do Nothing Congress). If unfortunately the economy goes a bit south, again, commercials that nothing got done. Not USMCA, immigration, etc.

The French Revolution was the triumph of the bureaucracy over the monarchy. The bureaucracy is created by 'strong' rulers to execute their will by delegating power to them and in order to go around the higher nobility(bureaucrats are typically lower ranking nobles). Eventually the bureaucracy is ruling things as a practical matter and overthrows the king. Versailles was intentionally created to corral nobles and make them decadent and indifferent to their territories.

Yup. But I think it was also Nancy tired of hearing the base. If she
didn't proceed, and she keeps the house next year, she's done as
speaker.

IIRC, she already pledged to step down as Speaker in '20. It was a prerequisite for her getting the job.

The problem seems to me they were left with mere men.

Who could argue with Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood! (LEB)

But just like many fast--or slow--revolutionaries of all ages, they do not see that the important thing is not bulling ahead because your motives sound so pure as announced.

But you must check and recheck the relationship of the results to your basis.

So what happened with LEB? The whole point of "Equality" was that no one be royal. Then the Ebertists got the idea that "religion" was a good part of the problem.

Great, with LEB, we can discuss it as equals. But, nope the people on the cutting edge thought that they stood out as people who understood what had to change and had the foresight to change it.

All people were equal, but the laggers less so. And then the Montagnards split with the Girondins on the idea of whether or not former nobilities could be rehabilitated (and "equal") and the Montagnards were convinced that every last one of them had to die. So, no liberty when you're dead, no equality, and Brotherhood is the opposite of executing you.

But they got fed up with other Jacobins pleading for the life of "reformed" nobles--so they started executing the Girondins. And they succeeded in killing *every* *last* *one*, and started in on the people who were "friendly" with the Girondins, which is why American consultant Thomas Paine died in prison (awaiting his possible execution).

The intention was LEB, the result was increasingly the opposite and the people full of pride at the head of the movement could not judge their compliance with the LEB.

344 The French Revolution was the triumph of the bureaucracy over the monarchy. The bureaucracy is created by 'strong' rulers to execute their will by delegating power to them and in order to go around the higher nobility(bureaucrats are typically lower ranking nobles). Eventually the bureaucracy is ruling things as a practical matter and overthrows the king. Versailles was intentionally created to corral nobles and make them decadent and indifferent to their territories.
Posted by: Someguy at November 21, 2019 05:09 PM (O+iVW)

Agreed - when you read the details of the period under Robespierre and immediately afterword, you realize it turns into one group of bureaucrats executing another group of bureaucrats, except who's in charge keeps changing. Finally after years of this Napoleon comes along, and everyone in France loves him because he's so much better than what he's replacing.

Posted by: JackStraw at November 21, 2019 04:30 PM (ZLI7S)

At those high, globe-encompassing levels, money & power are inseparable, different expressions of the same currency. There's probably a German word that describes them as a single entity. The Germans have a word for everything.

St. Paul describes it best: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

For the gun nuts - series premier of the original SWAT, about midway through, Robert Urich goes to the range and it looks like he's shooting the .308 AR...AR-10? Low sights for sure, looked like .308 mag, but kinda hard to judge that.
