Government Corruption

VP Joe Biden met with two Chinese energy execs in the West Wing – the FIFTEENTH meeting with businessmen tied to his son's company - who days later sent Hunter a fawning email offering to fix his $140k Fisker and inviting him for a visit

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Two executives for Chinese energy company Wanxiang secured a meeting with VP Joe Biden in the West Wing in July 2014, according to White House visitor logs

A client of Hunter Biden's company Seneca Global Advisors partnered with Wanxiang in 2012 on a $1.25billion natural gas plant in China

Four days after the meeting, one of the execs emailed Hunter offering to service his $102,000 Fisker sports car and inviting the VP's son for a visit

Joe's meeting with the two Wanxiang executives is one of 15 occasions he met with businessmen closely linked to his son

#1 If Joe could only play golf, or at least pretend to play it, he could have met these guys on a golf course where the meeting would not have been recorded in the White House visitor logs. Didn't he learn anything at all from Baraq?
