As Democrats continue their efforts to find some kind of way to connect Trump to the Russians for one reason. They know pay-for-play ran rampant in the Obama administration.

The so-called “scandal-free” administration had more scandals than 10 white presidents.

And we learn of the latest bombshell from Author Peter Schweizer’s new book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.

In the book Schweizer reveals how Hunter Biden secured a billion-dollar deal with Chinese investors ten days after his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden visited China in 2013.

Breitbart News reported:

According to an exclusive New York Post excerpt from the book, the Biden billion-dollar China deal occurred as follows. In 2013, Hunter Biden was managing partner in the private equity firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. The Chinese funds were managed by Rosemont Seneca Bohai, which did not involve Chris Heinz.

In December of that year, Vice President Biden and his son Hunter flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Ten days after the trip, a subsidiary of the Bank of China named Bohai Capital signed an exclusive deal with Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz’s Rosemont to form a $1 billion joint-investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST. The deal was later increased to $1.5 billion.

“The Chinese government was literally funding a business that they co-owned along with the sons of two of America’s most powerful decision makers,” writes Schweizer in Secret Empires.

Appearing on Fox News, former deputy assistant to President Donald Trump, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, said he believes the agreement is a massive scandal outside of Uranium One.

So, add this new shiny badge of corruption to the list of massive scandals that was allowed under Obama’s watch.
But Biden wasn’t the only member of Obama’s administration who was colluding with the Chinese. The Clintons have a long history of interests with China as well.

From 2001-2007 Bill Clinton gave 7 speeches earning in China, and received $7 million for his “work”. Not surprisingly, at the same time, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton championed the United States’ “pivot” toward Asia. Afterwards, Bill Clinton gave an additional four speeches in China or to Chinese-sponsored entities in the U.S., earning $1.7 million.

But don’t expect the Obama administration acolytes to stop their collusion with just the Chinese. They benefited from the Saudi government as well.

While Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state, Bill Clinton gave two speeches in Saudi Arabia, earning a total of $600,000.

In January 2011, for example, Bill Clinton spoke at a global business forum in Riyadh founded by the Saudi Investment Authority and sponsored by the Dabbagh Group, a commercial colossus with close ties to the Saudi royal family.

His fee for the speech: $300,000.

Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received staggering sums from Saudi benefactors — between $18 million and $50 million. (The foundation’s donations are reported in ranges, not specific numbers.)

And of course we cant forget the Russians.

“In Russia, Bill Clinton gave two speeches for $625,000. One was to the Russian investment bank, Renaissance Capital, at a 2010 event titled “Russian and the Commonwealth of Independent States: Going Global.”

The State Department background memo described the bank as “focused on the emerging markets of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Sub-Saharan Africa.”

The Russian Standard Bank also donated to the foundation.”

It wasn’t long after these speeches the Uranium One deal was made.
There is a lot of coincidence between speeches, donations to the Clinton campaign, and shift of U.S. policy by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. And now we learn the exact same thing was happening with the Biden’s.

So, what really did Obama’s pick’s for cabinet members do the entire time they were in office for 8 long years besides enriching themselves?

Imagine if Mike Pence had such baggage? Does anybody think the Left would have ignored it?

We all know that if Trump had any staffer who profited from Russian, Chinese, or other foreign interest to the degree that Obama’s satellites have, there would be hell to pay. Only ONE speech by any Trump staffer to any foreign entity, and the Left could call for Trump’s head.

But the Obama administration can do no wrong, when it comes to the Left. And that’s why that clown declared that he had a scandal-free administration.

month!
Before the Ping May, a rusty cargo vessel, could disembark from the port of Santa Marta en route to the Netherlands in late August, Colombian inspectors boarded the boat and made a discovery. Hidden in the ship’s chain locker, amidst its load of coal bound for Europe, were approximately 40 kilograms, or about ninety pounds, of cocaine. A Colombian Coast Guard official told The Nation that there is an ongoing investigation.

The seizure of the narcotics shipment in the Caribbean port occurred far away from Kentucky, the state in which Senator Mitch McConnell is now facing a career-defining election. But the Republican Senate minority leader has the closest of ties to the owner of the Ping May, the vessel containing the illicit materials: the Foremost Maritime Corporation, a firm founded and owned by McConnell’s in-laws, the Chao family.

Though Foremost has played a pivotal role in McConnell’s life, bestowing the senator with most of his personal wealth and generating thousands in donations to his campaign committees, the drug bust went unnoticed in Kentucky, where every bit of McConnell-related news has generated fodder for the campaign trail. That’s because, like many international shipping companies, Chao’s firm is shrouded from public view, concealing its identity and limiting its legal liability through an array of tax shelters and foreign registrations. Registered through a limited liability company in the Marshall Islands, the Ping May flies the Liberian flag.

They did no wrong your still living in the clouds. GD you had so many investigation by Republicans and your pissed because you could find nothing. You spent $385 million on pay for play Benghazi, Emails damm you found nothing, another $365 million on illegals voting found nothing. You think because republicans keep getting caught in there Scandels with Nixon, Reagan, and now Trump that democrats are doing the same illegal things republicans do.

You spent $365 million to prove Clinton got a blow job that nobody gave a damm about.

Why not take a good hard look at the Trump crime family with scum bags like Manafort, Flynn, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, Cohen GD these guys are scum bags and they are all in Trumps inner circle they have been his friends for years but Trump is an angle and the Muellar investigation with 39 indictments, felony convictions, jail time is 13 angry democrats. WTF is wrong with you people.

POLITICS & POLICY
The Worst Perversion
By KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON
January 17, 2017 9:00 AM

(Reuters photo: Kevin Lamarque)
Yes, there were Obama-administration scandals. Many, in fact.
The Obama administration was full of scandal, though we have a lazy and partisan news media that is determined to see no scandal in it.

The lame-duck columns have been nearly unanimous on the point: Barack Obama is remarkable among recent presidents for having been utterly untouched by scandal, personal or political.

The personal can be conceded: There is no serious allegation that President Obama suffered from the liberated appetites of a Bill Clinton, and the White House interns have by all accounts gone unmolested. But this is hardly remarkable: There were no such allegations about George W. Bush, either, or about George H. W. Bush, or about Ronald Reagan, or Jimmy Carter. Richard Nixon’s name is a byword for scandal, but not scandal of that sort. Nixon’s shocking personal perversion was his taste for cottage cheese with ketchup.


<!–

So, three cheers for Barack Obama’s manful efforts to live up to the standard of Gerald Ford. Well done.

The political issue is a different question entirely.

Not only was the Obama administration marked by scandal of the most serious sort — perverting the machinery of the state for political ends — it was on that front, which is the most important one, the most scandal-scarred administration in modern presidential history.

For your consideration:

Under the Obama administration’s watch, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies from the BATF to the NLRB were illegally used to target and harass the president’s political enemies. The IRS targeting scandal was the most high-profile of these, but others are just as worrisome. Federal investigations and congressional oversight were obstructed, and investigators were lied to outright — a serious crime. The administration protected the wrongdoers and saw to it that they retired with generous federal pensions rather than serving federal sentences for their crimes.

The Obama administration oversaw the illegal sale of arms to Mexican traffickers for purposes that to this date have not been adequately explained, and those guns have been used to murder American law-enforcement officers.

President Obama’s secretary of state was involved in a high-profile case in which she improperly set up a private e-mail system to evade ordinary governmental oversight; she and her associates routinely misled investigators, obstructed investigations, and hid or destroyed evidence. These are all serious crimes.

The Obama administration made ransom payments to the Iranian government and lied about having done so.

Under the Obama administration, the Secret Service has been a one-agency scandal factory, from drunk agents driving their cars into White House barriers to getting mixed up with hookers in Cartagena.

Under the guise of developing “green” energy projects, the Obama administration shunted money to politically connected cronies at Solyndra and elsewhere.

Obama’s men at the Veterans Administration oversaw a system in which our servicemen lost their lives to bureaucratic incompetence and medical neglect, and then falsified records to cover it up.

Under the flimsiest of national-security pretexts, the Obama administration used the Department of Justice to spy on Fox News reporter James Rosen. It also spied on the Associated Press.

The Obama administration’s attorney general, Eric Holder, left office while being held in contempt of Congress for inhibiting the investigation of other Obama administration scandals.

Just can't touch them federal n!993rs! That be raaacciist.

This is without a doubt the most ridiculous post I have read.

Read the IRS investigation non of it was true, Eric Holder held in contempt of congress for lying how come they never indicted him actually they did go to court and the judge threw it out.

Iran ransom money it was Iran’s money that got frozen in Banks around the world until they stopped there Nuke program.

The IRS did not illegally target anybody the Republican lead investigation found nothing to prove it. They went after 6 Republican super PACs that targeted democrats by Name which is illegal oh and about the democrat super PACs were they also were targeted.


This is crazy stuff I could go through all your BS but it’s foolish and made up garbage through conspiracy theories and legal actions that were thrown out of court.Whistleblowers are legal there is a legal process to go through when you want to bring attention to wrong doing in our government. And picking up a phone and calling Fox News and handing over classified documents to Fox News is not the way to do it.

There you go again. Just showing how politically naïve you are, you just go along with whatever the progressive agenda dictates.

A gigantic democrat scheme to ensure hillary never was found guilty of anything. Between holder and lynch controlling the justice department, you can be sure nothing was ever going to be prosecuted while under their control. They couldn't even pin the gun smuggling scheme on holder in spite of hillary's FBI doing an investigation (who knew that comey and mueller were hillary stooges that would confound any FBI findings) and lynch's conversation with slick willy on the flight line was, and is, highly suspect. Both with the justice department and the FBI covering hillary's backside, the citizens right for justice against this low bred gutter snipe went amiss. I guess that is what is wrong with us, what is wrong with you?


Lets refresh your memory a bit. Mueller was only able to get something on Manafort that had been done long before he went to work for the administration. Absolutely nothing criminal while working for President Trump! The only thing they got on Flynn was the fact he told a "lie" about something that was of no consequence to the investigation but the fact that he told a "lie" about some inconsequential matter. But it was a lie. So What?? And what have they got on Roger Stone?
Not a thing but rest assured they are giving it the old college try. Another example of democrat stupidity in a quandary. And who says they are scum?? Any dimocrat or is that just your studied opinion, sherlock? Give me a break after all the lies and crooked accomplishments pulled off by hillary and our previous faux president? Why don't you give us a break and get into some of their exotic actions, hypocrite.

I suspect with a new head in the Dept or Justice, things will become increasingly tight and old lies will be revisited and more than a few crooked democrats will be suffering the legal consequences that the democrat dept of justice managed to keep hidden along with their allies in the FBI.

Jean Deaux

Was the judge that threw the case out a democrat appointee? One that makes up law as he goes?

Then why did the head of the IRS, MILLER resign? Why did Lerner plead the 5th and lie that her hard drive had crashed? Why did obammy try to spin it?

http://nypost.com/2015/07/26/obamas-pathetic-attempt-to-spin-the-irs-scandal/

Holder had a long history of LYING to Congress. What you are doing , airfarce0 is spinning with NO proof.

Are you forgetting about his secretly obtaining AP journalists phone records?
