Now More Shady Hunter Biden Dealings - This Time in Romania

There would appear to be no end to the shady dealings of the former First Son, Mr. Hunter Biden. Now, a new Hunter Biden scheme has emerged into the light of day like a hissing cockroach crawling out from under a rotting log; this time it's a scheme to sell off the land surrounding the United States Embassy in Romania to a group that included Chinese monied interests. ...

While his father, Joseph R. Biden Jr., was vice president, Hunter Biden began developing relationships that led to an audacious proposal to sell the land around the United States Embassy building in Romania to a group that included a Chinese company.

Hunter Biden was involved in the proposed deal from multiple perspectives, creating what he privately acknowledged to an associate was an ethical quagmire, according to documents and four people with knowledge of the matter who were not authorized to speak about it. ...

    Hunter Biden had dual roles in the enterprise.

    One was as a businessman. He and his partners, including his father’s younger brother James Biden, were stakeholders in a venture that was to co-own developed properties and vacant land around the embassy in Bucharest. Joining them was the wealthy Romanian who had developed the area and an influential Chinese state-linked company, which Hunter Biden was courting.

    The other role was as legal counsel. While these negotiations were going on, Mr. Biden was separately working as a lawyer and adviser for that same Romanian developer, Gabriel Popoviciu. His legal team was trying to stymie a corruption case in Romania related to the purchase of the land years earlier. ...

NEW: In 2017, Hunter Biden pursued a deal to sell land around the US Embassy in Romania, & possibly the land on which the embassy sat, to a joint venture that included a Chinese government-linked company.

The venture, & the Chinese company, collapsed. Hunter Biden’s efforts on the proposed land deal came partly as his father was pressing the Romanians to rid their country of nepotism and corruption.

Another summary of the situation:

Mind-blowing. In 2014, VP Biden attacked corrupt developer in Romania who owned land around US embassy. In 2015, Hunter goes to work for the corrupt developer, lobbies US ambassador to pressure Romanians to drop case, then proposes to settle case by cutting in his China client

This appears to have been a straight-up mob-style shakedown by the Biden family done under the auspices of Obama foreign policy and in a way the directly jeopardized US national security.

The lawyers for Hunter’s corrupt developer client first threatened to jeopardize the land upon which the embassy sat, and then proposed a deal whereby prosecutors dropped the case in exchange for the corrupt developer selling nearly half his stake to a state-owned Chinese energy company, that was also Hunter’s client.   ...
