  • He went on: 'I never asked my brother to take any official action on behalf of me, my business associates, or anyone else'

  • But he told investigators that Hunter was given a diamond from top officials at Chinese energy company CEFC while his father was vice president

  • James also admitted there there was no loan documentation for the funds he provided his president brother

[FoxNews] The president’s brother initially said he was not part of a deal with his nephew Hunter Biden and business associates Rob Walker, Tony Bobulinski, and James Gilliar, according to a source familiar with the interview.

But when presented with an agreement with his signature on it, Biden changed his story, saying he did not recall signing the agreement, the source said.

#3  In the real world, if an entity gifts something as a means of persuasion, the appropriate response would be to return it with a 'No Thank You' note (via Registered Mail with a receipt, of course).

I'm pretty sure that Jimbo didn't 'throw away' anything of such value, unless that's an euphemism for a trip to a 'We Buy Jewelry' store.

#2  Wash Post: May 31, 2022 "James Biden took out his iPhone early one morning in September 2017 and tapped a quick message to his nephew Hunter. It was, as usual, filled with typos. It was also, as usual, filled with exclamation points meant to convey his exuberance. “Hunter, we are cut from the same cloth,” James Biden wrote. “… You are a fine and yes, a gentle person. Believe it or not, I know you. Sounds corney,but we both deserve to enjoy the moment. Concentrate on the good in our lives and try to step out of all the bullshit you deal with...” The exchange comes from a copy of a hard drive that Hunter Biden purportedly dropped off...
James and Hunter Biden were in the midst of a lucrative deal with Chinese executives at the time, while Joe Biden was out of public service for the first time in nearly a half-century, having left the vice presidency a few months earlier. Hunter Biden was also wrestling with drug addiction, financial problems and a relationship with his late brother Beau’s widow that had become public. ... Hunter Biden turned to his uncle, at least as much as to his famous father, for emotional support." ...bla bla bla
