CORRUPTION: China business deals were made with families of Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, to buy influence
Sunday, March 18, 2018 | by JD Heyes
If you had forgotten one of the biggest reasons why Americans in a majority of states sent Donald J. Trump to the Oval Office instead of sending Hillary Clinton back there, it was Trump’s pledge to “drain the swamp.â€
A new book by Peter Schweizer, author of the explosive (and thus far un-refuted) tome “Clinton Cash,†which spurred an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation — claims that China used a series of high-dollar business deals to buy influence with the families of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Obama’s vice president and former U.S. senator, Joe Biden.
And yet Washington remains obsessed with Russian collusion.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Schweizer’s new book, “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,†says that Beijing sought to garner favor with powerful American politicians by engaging in profitable deals with members of their families. That included targeting them “with investment opportunities and business deals [and] providing hundreds of millions of dollars in business to companies run by the families of Messrs. Biden and McConnell.â€
As you might expect, representatives of both men disputed Schweizer’s allegations, calling them “politically motivated hit pieces†and “wild accusations†made without any “credible sourcing.â€
But that’s pretty much what the Clintons said, too. And yet, in the latter case, the FBI saw enough evidence to launch a probe. And in the Clintons’ case, along with the Bidens and McConnells, nobody has said anything about suing Schweizer for slander or libel — which he no doubt understands perfectly well would happen if he were lying or using less-than-credible sources.
