Joe's son wanted 2 million a year to help a terrorist nation unfreeze their assets.

[hislegacy]

While his daddy was vp:

Hunter Biden requested a $2 million annual retainer and "success fees" to help unfreeze Libyan assets when his father, Joe Biden, was vice president, according to emails reviewed by Business Insider.

Through an intermediary, the younger Biden offered to help recover $15 billion in Libyan assets that the Obama administration froze during the reign of Muammar Qaddafi. The intermediary, a Democratic donor, in a Jan. 28, 2015, email asked for a "close circle of people" to be involved in the offer "for confidentiality," adding that Joe Biden was considering running for president. Another email on Feb. 26, 2016, stressed the importance of only a small, close-knit group's being involved "due to the sensitivities surrounding their involvement."​

I thought this was particularly telling:

The Democratic donor involved with Hunter Biden's Libya deal, Sam Jauhari, advertised Biden's access to high-ranking members of the State Department, the Treasury Department, then-secretary of state John Kerry, and his father, who Jauhari said had the "Libya file" in the Obama administration.

"Since he travels with dad, he is connected everywhere in Europe and Asia," Jauhari wrote of Hunter Biden, adding that he even "has access to highest level in [China]."

Jauhari warned his correspondent, Sheikh Mohammed al-Rahbani, an Obama donor, that Hunter Biden's substance abuse may prove an issue.


"His negatives are that he is alcoholic, drug addict – kicked [out] of U.S. Army for cocaine, chasing low class hookers, constantly needs money-liquidity problems and many more headaches," Jauhari wrote. Biden was discharged from the Navy Reserve, not the Army, after he tested positive for cocaine in 2014.
​

Even the Libyans didn't want to be involved with Hunter because he was dirty.

Man, I'm feeling so much better about not casting my vote for Hunter Biden. Thanks for bringing up these important issues! Keep up the good fight and you'll surely sink Hunter's political career!

God forbid the OP provide a link to the relevant article - ideally one not behind a paywall.

I think Khadafi is dead anyway. Are all Muslim nations terrorist nations? The UAE has accomplished some reforms, yet I prefer more freedom of religion.

Nope - but according to our State Department they are

How do you get 'Libya is a terrorist nation' from that report? What do you mean by the phrase?

I'm assuming you're aware that Libyan govt forces were at war with ISIS at the time that report was issued.

Benghazi - have you forgotten already? You think suddenly they are a wonderful Xanadu?

Libya Travel Advisory

Terrorist groups continue plotting attacks in Libya. Violent extremist activity in Libya remains high, and extremist groups have made threats against U.S. government officials and citizens. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, hotels, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and government facilities.

Outbreaks of violence between competing armed groups can occur with little warning and have the potential to impact U.S. citizens.

The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency or routine assistance to U.S. citizens in Libya, as the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli suspended its operations in July 2014.

How quickly people forget.

These are the people Hunter Biden was going to try to help, provided they met his money demands.

I try. I'm getting better at forgiving others. I'm still learning more patience. I can forgive those who stir trouble, and am learning to ignore them. Have a nice day.

Which people? Come one man, the only thing your posts show is that you lack even the most basic understanding of the topic of your thread.

Terrorist groups continue plotting attacks in Libya.

Just think about this - report cited by you ‘terrorist groups continue plotting attacks in Libya’ - you ‘Libya is a terrorist nation’ (whatever it is you think that means). Just think that over until something sinks in. Alternatively, you could simply read the whole of the report you posted rather than picking out the bits you imagine support your OP (they don’t, you’re just reading it wrong).

When you offer more than a critique we can speak. So far you have posted no links - offered no proof and done nothing more than attempt to discredit me personally.

It doesn't change the simple uncontested facts shown in the emails:

Hunter Biden offered to unfreeze billions of dollars in funds held by the Government after Benghazi. He was going to use his connections with the Secretary of State and Vice President of the US who was his dad and whom he traveled with.

That is the basic understanding on this thread as demonstrated in the OP.

Come back with facts and we will talk.

Overthrow of Gaddafi? Arab spring? Major conflict between Libyan forces and ISIS? No?
Would you like me to provide you with links to prove WW2 took place as well?
Why dismiss an entire nation just to score some petty partisan points? Really, what for?

You have an example of influence peddling in Washington, but your attempt to dress it up with your ‘terrorist nation’ bit is truly ridiculous. It’s your thread, you should do your own checking before posting.

If you actually read the report you linked to, that contains enough info for you to understand why you are wrong.
