that they lied about the Clinton Foundation and Uranium 1 and now have a front runner in the pocket of China. But this mysterious damning evidence of Trump collusion is there in the report. Just don't ask Mueller or anyone to tell you what it is

Why is Joe Biden so warm toward China?
Last week, Biden raised eyebrows when he shrugged off concerns over the China threat. “Come on, man,” Biden said. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not competition for us.”
Perhaps Biden’s insouciant attitude toward the Chinese government has to do with the fact that his family does not consider them competitors but business partners.
In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Biden’s firm inked a $1 billion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5 billion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president.
If it sounds shocking that a vice president would shape US-China policy as his son — who has scant experience in private equity — clinched a coveted billion-dollar deal with an arm of the Chinese government, that’s because it is.
Until the publication of my book, “Secret Empires,” no one knew the deal took place. Indeed, it took me and a team of seasoned investigators nearly two years to unearth and report the facts.
Without the aid of subpoena power, here’s what we know. The businesses of Hunter Biden and his partners created a series of LLCs involved in multibillion-dollar private equity deals with companies owned by the Chinese government.
The centerpiece of these deals is Rosemont Seneca Partners, an investment firm controlled by Hunter Biden and his associates: Chris Heinz, who is John Kerry’s stepson, and Heinz’s longtime associate Devon Archer. The trio founded Rosemont Seneca in 2009 and quickly began making deals through a series of overlapping entities under the Rosemont name.

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) — Voters are often asked to choose the lesser of two evils. In 2020, they may face a choice between two candidates under scrutiny for questionable personal and family ties to foreign governments.
While congressional committees investigate President Donald Trump, members of his family and the Trump Organization's foreign business dealings, there are new questions emerging around Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son's business interests in China and Ukraine.
Author and president of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Schweizer investigates how foreign governments attempt to influence American policy by offering lucrative business opportunities to the family members of powerful politicians.
In his latest book, "Secret Empires" and a new video program series "The Drill Down," he documented how Chinese and Ukrainian firms targeted the former vice president through his son, Hunter Biden.
Former vice president Joe Biden plans to announce a new, hardened stance on China Tuesday, when he will tell Iowans that the country is “a real threat” to U.S. interests.
“We are in a competition with China. We need to get tough with China,” Biden plans to say at a campaign event in Iowa according to prepared remarks, which add that China engages in “cheating” and “abusive behavior” economically.
Biden, who chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before becoming Barack Obama’s vice president, raised eyebrows by downplaying the influence of the world’s second-largest economy earlier this year when he said “they’re not competition for us.”
“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” Biden said at a campaign stop in Iowa in April. “They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They’re not bad folks, folks.”
Although Biden’s planned Tuesday remarks are harshly critical of President Trump’s approach to China as a “damaging and erratic trade war,” they echo the president’s frequent talking point that China is a threat, calling the country “a serious challenge to us, and in some areas a real threat.”
