Newt Gingrich: Biden Family: The Delaware Sopranos
The Biden family is a corrupt influence-peddling hub worthy of HBO fantasy. Unfortunately for America, it isn’t fiction.
Watching HBO’s “the Sopranos” It can help you get to know the Biden family.
Between Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal, and the Bidens’ various shady private-equity schemes with foreign fraudsters, it’s not too hard to make the analogy.
President Joe Biden clearly is the head of a family. His public offices have been used repeatedly by him to make money. Hunter Biden is his son. He is the same ambitious, but dull, son who wants the family business, but always makes mistakes. Some of the Bidens’ actions were clearly unprofessional. Many of their actions are an abuse of public office. The vast majority of their actions are secret.
The best example of Bidens’ manipulation of the system for profit surrounds the Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania. Bidens have had remarkable access to Chinese Communist Party funds through the center. According to reports in the New York PostThe university is. “raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016.”
According to the paper, $15.8 was spent on anonymous gifts from China after the Biden Center’s opening in 2017. Biden was made vice president of the White House and immediately became the center’s leader. He was also given a professorship. Another $14.5 million worth of anonymous gifts from China were delivered shortly after the center was fully open. This was in May 2018.
Another report on the flood of money is available here The Free Beacon According to Chinese donations of $61 Million, the university received $61,000,000 between 2017 and 2020.
There is little transparency and accountability regarding the money trail so numbers may vary. It’s a given that Chinese sources aren’t going to share any information. The University of Pennsylvania simply refuses to comply with the law and report foreign donations.
I worked with the Trump administration’s Department of Education on this for several years, and we simply could not get the University of Pennsylvania to open its books and explain where all the Chinese money was coming from.
You should also remember that Antony Blinken (now-Secretary) was the manager for the Penn Biden Center. Several other Biden team members were paid by the University of Pennsylvania in the period between Joe Biden’s vice presidency and presidency.
Joe Biden also appointed Amy Gutmann, former University President, to the U.S. as a gesture of appreciation for setting him up at his center. Ambassador to Germany. Similarly, David Cohen, the former chairman of the university’s board of trustees, is now the U.S. Ambassador to Canada.
As Jonathan Turley wrote for the New York Post, the Biden family corruption is exceptional – even for Washington D.C: “Even in a city where influence-peddling is a virtual cottage industry, the Bidens took the corrupt practice to a truly Olympian level,” He said.
Turley stated that traditional news media are still bent over backwards in order to protect the Bidens. The elite media spent months pretending the laptop scandal was Russian propaganda. They have repeatedly parroted Joe Biden’s claim that he doesn’t know anything about Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
But it’s all not true. Turley said:
“Dozens of emails, pictures and witness accounts prove the president was not just aware but a possible beneficiary of this corruption. His personal interactions with his son’s business associates include at least 19 visits to the White House by Hunter’s partner, Eric Schwerin, and only from 2009 to 2015. Biden was vice-president.
“Emails on Hunter’s laptop make repeated reference to not only Joe’s knowledge but efforts to hide his involvement. … Emails used code names for Joe Biden such as ‘Celtic’ or ‘the big guy.’ In one ‘the big guy’ Hunter is mentioned as having received a 10% discount on a deal with Chinese energy firms. There are also references to Hunter paying off his father’s bills from shared accounts.
“Code names, cuts for ‘the big guy’ and millions in mysterious foreign transactions would ordinarily send the media into a frenzy.”
As Turley lays it out, the elite legacy media has become Biden’s – and the larger Democrat Party’s – de facto state media.
Their Delaware copies would make the Sopranos proud. The Biden family represents a corruption influence center worthy of HBO fantasy. Unfortunately for America, it isn’t fiction.
