FARRELL: Hunter Biden Revelations


From Chris Farrell’s Op-Ed for The Daily Caller:
Incredible revelations hit the news this week in a series of New York Post reports based on data from a water-damaged laptop that Hunter Biden reportedly abandoned last year at a Delaware Mac repair store. The story is still developing but there is enough out there for us to draw some conclusions.
First, maybe most importantly, is the insight we have gained into how children of powerful politicians can use their access and influence to get rich. The expression âinfluence peddlingâ seems somehow insufficient when talking about the kind of multi-million-dollar deals Hunter Biden was reportedly arranging.

A May 13, 2017, email reportedly sent to Hunter with the subject line âExpectationsâ discussed a venture with the former Shanghai-based conglomerate CEFC China Energy Co. Hunter, as Chair or Vice Chair, was expected to earn a salary of â850,â probably $850,000 a year. The details of the âremuneration packagesâ for six people involved in the deal include a breakdown of the equity percentages, including 20% for H (Hunter) and â10 held by H for the big guy.â Was the âbig guyâ his father? It is unclear, but in an alleged text to his daughter Naomi, Hunter complains about how he gets no respect and says, âI hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. Itâs really hard, but donât worry, unlike Pop [Joe Biden] I wonât make you give me half your salary.â
