But this runnin’ with the Bidens, boy, just ain’t where it’s at<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Hunter Biden\u2019s closest business partner made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015, including a sitdown with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing.<\/p>\n

Visitor logs from the White House of former President Barack Obama reviewed by The Post cast further doubt over Joe Biden\u2019s claims that he knew nothing of his son\u2019s dealings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If Biden claims he knows nothing about such things now, I tend to believe him. He doesn’t appear to know much of anything. That ol’ historical record is an issue, though:<\/p>\n

\n

Eric Schwerin met with Vice President Biden on November 17, 2010 in the West Wing, when he was the president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners.<\/p>\n

The logs also reveal that Schwerin met with various close aides of both Joe and Jill Biden at key moments in Hunter\u2019s life when he was striking multi-million dollar deals in foreign countries, including China. Yet President Biden has long insisted he had no involvement in his son\u2019s foreign affairs. \u201cI have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,\u201d he said in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Does Biden’s denial beggar belief? Of course. If Hunter Biden’s surname had been, I dunno, Doakes, a guy like Schwerin would have been as welcome roaming the halls of power as the guy with the facepaint and the Buffalo headgear was on Jan. 6. But as an associate of Biden the younger, he had the golden ticket.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201dNot everyone gets to meet the Vice President of the United States in the White House. The press should be asking why Hunter Biden\u2019s business associates \u2014 like Eric Schwerin \u2014 had that privilege and were given access to the Obama White House,\u201d said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin). \u201cThis is additional evidence that Joe Biden lied when he said he never discussed Hunter\u2019s foreign business dealings. It\u2019s well past time for the corporate media to demand the truth from Joe Biden. The corruption of Biden Inc. must be exposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Strictly speaking, the logs don’t prove Biden lied, but it’s certainly the way to bet. And while Senator Johnson is correct in asserting the press ought to be asking questions, I would not count on any investigative reporting happening any time soon. There’s a lot more at the link, including this reminder of how incestuous the power structure is in Washington:<\/p>\n

\n

In October 2009, just months after Hunter co-founded Rosemont Seneca, Schwerin met with Evan Ryan, Vice President Biden\u2019s assistant for intergovernmental affairs and public liaison, in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building where the vice president\u2019s office is based, according to the visitor logs.<\/p>\n

While working in the halls of power Ryan acted as a conduit for Hunter Biden and his cronies, hard drive emails show.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ms. Ryan is now the Cabinet Secretary for Biden. And speaking of Biden’s cabinet. . .<\/p>\n

\n

Ryan went on to marry Antony Blinken, who now serves as President Biden\u2019s Secretary of State, while she herself was appointed to a plum gig as White House Cabinet Secretary in January 2021.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s all in the family.<\/p>\n
