Biden Family Shenanigans

I doubt many COTTonLINE readers plan to vote for Joe Biden, but perhaps you know someone who might. I ran across some unflattering information about the Biden family from a source I know to be friendly toward Democrats. You might share it with those misguided souls.

The Politico story entitled "Biden Inc." is subtitled "Over his decades in office, 'Middle-Class Joe's' family fortunes have closely tracked his political career." It mostly documents how his sons have traded on their father's position and clout to make a ton of money, much of it from sleazy foreigners who seek influence with, or business from, our government. Warning, it's a long article, with much detail.

If you see similarities to the nefarious activities of the Clinton Foundation, you'd not be mistaken. In the Biden case, the primary organization was called Paradigm Global Advisors, but the "sell the prominent person's governmental clout" business model was similar throughout.
