I can see (kinda) how Hunter Biden could blow and be blown through a $5 million bribe. Maybe even how a Biden brother could squirrel that amount away. But I am struggling to see how Joe Biden hides large amounts of money or actions that benefit people who have bribed him. I don't know anything about foreign banking but maybe Biden's family through their shell companies set up some hidden bank accounts in a country (Austria, Greece, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland (some cantons only) that has secret banking or something like that. It's possible. What are the names of the Biden shell companies. You mentioned them so you should know the names of them.

The sum was sent to Kushner’s private equity firm after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman overruled advisers for his nation’s sovereign wealth fund, who thought Kushner and his firm were too sketchy to warrant such a large investment, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

Ivanka Trump in China: The trademarks raising an ethics firestormIvanka Trump this month received trademark approval from China for a broad array of items, including baby blankets, wallpaper and carpets. That wouldn't be unusual for a global business built on consumer goods such as elegant women's clothing and shoes, but it raises numerous ethical issues given that her father is the U.S. president. The timing appears especially fraught given President Donald Trump agreed to rescue Chinese telecom giant ZTE Corp. shortly after Ivanka Trump's brand was awarded the trademarks. Ethics watchdogs say the approvals are problematic on a number of levels, including Ivanka Trump's role representing the U.S. at diplomatic events even though her brand's business could be impacted -- for good or bad -- by relations with foreign nations. Then there's also the conflicts that arise from her father's role as president amid rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China. "Although Ivanka has stepped down from her role at her business and has placed it in a trust, she continues to receive profits from the business," the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington wrote in a blog post about the trademarks. It added, "Last year, Ivanka's business won preliminary approval for three trademarks on the same day that she dined with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago. Earlier this year, Trump announced tariffs against China that exempted clothing — including clothing imports from Ivanka's Chinese manufacturers."

IRS whistleblowers have confirmed the existence of these companies. link So far what I read shows money going through a law firm account of a firm of a known Biden associate. “Right and in March of 2023, just a couple months ago, the Committee showed through bank records that Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden all received originating from China funneled through Robinson Walker LLC, a company owned by Rob Walker who is a well-known Biden associate and when presented with this evidence by a reporter, the President said ‘that’s not true’. Mr. Ziegler is it true that the President’s family received money originating from China which was funneled through the Robinson Walker account?”

I had a MAGA mob friend say that if they don't get Hunter locked up and Biden impeached, they are never going to vote again. They have been made so many promises that have been broken about getting justice. Hillary, Obama, Comer~~still not locked up. I prompted it on by asking what was taking so long, Comer said this in January: “I mean, this isn’t the most complex investigation on the planet,” Comer told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Investigating Hunter, the Biden family is about like tracking a bleeding bear through a snowstorm. I mean, there’s evidence everywhere.” thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/3824559-comer-investigating-biden-family-like-tracking-a-bleeding-bear-through-a-snowstorm/They are really disheartened, here Trump was President for 4 years and no one was locked up and Biden has been in office a little more than 2 and Trump has been indicted left and right. But hey, if the MAGA mob don't want to vote, more power to them, right? Maybe they will wake up and realize the scam that has been perpetrated by Trump.

I wonder how they got jurisdiction on this, Definitely feels like they got weaponized by the GOP to go after Hunter and by association Biden. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Oversight_and_AccountabilityAccording to House rules, the committee has jurisdiction over the following areas:[31] Federal civil service, including intergovernmental personnel; and the status of officers and employees of the United States, including their compensation, classification, and retirement.
Municipal affairs of the District of Columbia in general (other than appropriations).
Federal paperwork reduction.
Government management and accounting measures generally.
Holidays and celebrations.
Overall economy, efficiency, and management of government operations and activities, including Federal procurement.
National archives.
Population and demography generally, including the Census.
Postal service generally, including transportation of the mails.
Public information and records.
Relationship of the Federal Government to the States and municipalities generally.
Reorganizations in the executive branch of the Government.

Greene should be expelled. Testicleless McCarthy will protect her. Resolution to censure Marjorie Taylor Greene brought by House DemocratFreshman Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.) is leading a resolution to censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over her controversial comments and actions, with the most recent being the Georgia Republican displaying censored sexual images of the president’s son Hunter Biden in a hearing last week. The resolution introduced Tuesday is a laundry list of around 40 points of grievance against Greene, many of which list her specific comments and the dates on which she said them. In addition to Greene’s showing images of Hunter Biden, the resolution takes issue with Greene visiting Jan. 6 inmates in the D.C. jail and calling it the “patriot wing”; Greene calling Muslim members of Congress part the “Jihad Squad”; appearing at a white nationalist event (Greene later said she had no idea the event was linked to white nationalism and condemned its leader); comparing COVID-19 vaccinations to Nazis forcing Jewish people to wear a star; and more. “For me, censuring Rep. Taylor Greene is about the health of our democracy and faith in government. Her antisemitic, racist, transphobic rhetoric has no place in the House of Representatives,” Balint said in a statement.

Destroy your voter card! Stand up for truth justice and the American way! Seriously the more Trump voters who take their ball and go home the better. Hillary in part lost because nobody believed that Trump would win so people did not bother to vote. If we can get Trump voters to act the same way that would be awesome.

Biden has shell companies. What rich person doesn't have shell companies? I thought that was how they hoard enough wealth to be able to send themselves into space. Why is this news? Don't give me "They need to be held accountable" because if that were the case Trump & Co should be shitting their pants. Just like how Trump got all eager to make a law in order to try to catch Clinton and now he's been prosecuted under said law.

For ripvanwinkle: LLCs are another name for shell companies. What Trump's disclosure of his 500 LLCs can and can't tell usWhat Trump's disclosure of his 500 LLCs can and can't tell us about his income and his businesses. President Donald Trump's latest financial disclosure includes details on the 500 or so limited liability companies (LLCs) he owns, and their revenue. But what exactly is an LLC, and does disclosing these numbers provide more — or less — information about Trump's businesses? An LLC is a type of company structure with two special properties, explained Gene Marks, a certified public accountant. First, income can "pass through" the LLC to the owner's individual tax returns, which means that business gets taxed at the individual's personal income tax rate, which in many cases could be lower. Second, if the company goes out of business, the partners' losses are generally limited to what they invested. If the partnership is sued, in most cases a plaintiff can't come after the partners' individual assets. Trump uses a bevy of LLCs to house and manage his assets, as many wealthy individuals and businesses do, particularly in real estate. The Mar-a-Lago resort is owned by Trump under an LLC structure. So are his golf courses, licensing deals, one of his helicopters, and some of his bank accounts. But reviewing a spreadsheet of the names and income streams of Trump's LLCs doesn't actually shine much light on the president's overall financial situation because we don't get to see how much actually ended up in his bank account at the end of the day.

LLCs are another name for shell companies No it isn't. A shell corporation is a corporation without active business operations or significant assets. These types of corporations are not all necessarily illegal, but they are sometimes used illegitimately, such as to disguise business ownership from law enforcement or the public. Legitimate reasons for a shell corporation include such things as a startup using the business entity as a vehicle to raise, funds, conduct a hostile takeover or to go public. link While shell companies may be a LLC, LLCs are not usually shell companies.

Most shell companies are formed by individuals and businesses for legitimate purposes, such as to hold stock or intangible assets of another business entity or to facilitate domestic and cross-border currency and asset transfers and corporate mergers.
i have two shell companies. both have VERY significant assets. one files a return with zeroes on it. neither have any employees.
i am convinced that the reason Trump had 500 is not that he is just so much more busy and has so many more assets that me (both of which may be true), but that it makes it pretty much impossible to track assets by the IRS. i could illustrate WHY that is true, but just take my word for it, please. it is kinda topically boring and confusing accounting-wise.
two shells make it relatively easy to shift assets around. 500 makes them pretty much impossible to find.

I have 4 LLCs. I use for consulting definitely not a shell company . But LLC lack of corporate structure makes an LLC much easier to use as a shell than a corporation. Many people who own rentals use LLC and often use an LLC for each rental house, air B&B, apartment house etc So lots of LLCs associated with RE
