Trying to look at this objectively....IF there was no original loan being repaid then possibly tax evasion if he was required to pay taxes and didn't. Maybe a failure to disclose on some form when he did announce he was running for President. We're still a long way off from being able to prove a crime though.
You're very defensive and evasive for someone who posted that there is "PROOF". If your OP title is to be believed you have PROOF of a crime. It is a simple ask. What is the crime?
There is no crime!! He was a former vice president not holding an office. Who would care what he and his family was doing to receive millions from China. He couldn't sell influence, as he wasn't in office, at the time, he couldn't share secrets, as he didn't have any access anymore, at the time, it couldn't affect his policy decisions, once again not in office, at the time. You guys are right, the fact he and his family may have been sold out to the communist Chinese, means nothing because he wasn't in office. at the time. I have seen the light!! Biden the greatest President ever!!! Let's double down on Bidenomics! GDP growth like we have never seen, Net worth of folks rising dramatically over the last couple years. I just wish he was younger so we could make him king!! Everything is so much better now!
Yeah ... but seriously this time ... what is the crime? BTW, you know the Trumps have a ton of business deals in China, right? Does your rant apply to them, too?
In terms of whether there was actually an initial loan to be repaid, it sounds like the committee obtained banking records and has released some but not others? Are the records considered confidential, and how does/can the committee decide what to release and what not to release? I skimmed a CNN article reporting that CNN was able to review some of the banking records but not all of them. Is that accurate? Even for members of the public who might otherwise be capable of evaluating these sorts of banking records and accounting issues, seems like that would be difficult unless and until the relevant documents are made public.
Not sure how else to say this. THERE WAS NO CRIME, HE WAS NOT IN OFFICE AT THE TIME. Who cares what Trumps doing now, he is not in office.
Did you know that Trump had tried unsuccessful to get trademarks in China since 2005, with ZERO granted ... then was granted 38 trademarks in March of 2017? While he was president? Have you looked into that at all?
As has already been mentioned the explanation is rather simple. It looks like James Biden is just as sleazy as his nephew (and Joe's son) Hunter, he most likely duped the Chinese into believing that he could influence Joe (noting that Joe was no longer in office at the time and that the entire federal government was controlled by Republicans) and ended up receiving payments from them, $40,000 of which he used to pay back a personal loan from Joe Biden.
i believe that trump was in office when he was getting fat checks from foreign gubmnts to reserve rooms and conference rooms that were never used and jared was negotiating his sovereign wealth fund deal. old joe was out of politics when these pennies were repaid. can you maybe see a difference? try squinting and see if that helps...
From what I have seen he actually had quite a few trademarks before he was President. Now Ivanka received some after he was President, but I don't recall seeing her name on any ballot....ever.
Along with $200,000 he had paid earlier. But still no crime, he wasn't in office. It's a shame such an outstanding individual has such a sleezy family around him.
It proves nothing just like every other non-conformist thread that us right leaning lemmings put on here. Sorry for wasting your time.
This whole Joe Biden took Chinese money thing is so dumb. Imagine if Planned Parenthood placed orders for office supplies through Amazon. Some right wing numbskull figures this out and blasts out all over social media that every Amazon employee murders babies because their paycheck is in some way funded by PP.
Maybe he did have some already, I guess it's not clear ... this article says he had one trademark granted in Febuary of 2017, just weeks after he took office, and 37 more in March of 2017, after 10 years of court battles trying to get these Chinese trademarks. And that happened while he was president. But you don't really care, do you? China provisionally grants Trump 38 trademarks – including for escort service | Donald Trump | The Guardian
I would say Biden would be in more trouble if the Republicans were going to run an unimpeachable anti-corruption candidate and not uh, the guy who does scams and crimes
