This time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/24\/merrick-garland-to-announce-significant-national-security-cases\/\">alleged Communist evil doers<\/a> are Chinese, not Russians.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI director Christopher Wray and others adopted a striking anti-China tone in describing a level of venality.<\/p>\n<p>They are willing to \u201clie, cheat and steal their way to dominance,\u201d Wray said, pointing to criminal cases involving agriculture, academia, green technology and governments.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, citing evidence that bribes were offered to obtain inside information about Justice\u2019s investigation of Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant, said the case \u201cshows the interconnection between . . . intelligence officers and Chinese companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the officials talked in this hostile manner for nearly 30 minutes, reporters asked questions about details. But there were no questions or any comments from officials about the elephant in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Said elephant being the fact that the family of the president of the United States had<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/26\/wh-spox-cant-say-if-hunter-biden-still-co-owns-firm-with-beijing\/\"> deals<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/26\/wh-spox-cant-say-if-hunter-biden-still-co-owns-firm-with-beijing\/\">with a Chinese bank <\/a>and a Chinese energy firm that were nearly identical to the pattern the officials had just called a national security threat. Yet no one dared to mention the obvious similarity.<\/p>\n<p>The see-no-evil moment underscores the lack of seriousness in much of Washington about the near certainty that President Biden is compromised by his family\u2019s lucrative relationship with agents of the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tony Bobulinski\" class=\"wp-image-24457078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Tony Bobulinski spoke to Fox News\u2019 Tucker Carlson about his time working with the Bidens. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Fox News<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tony Bobulinski is clear-eyed about the facts and believes the danger is greater than initially estimated. The <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/27\/hunter-biden-emails-tony-bobulinski-says-he-was-warned-about-going-public\/\">former partner of Hunter and Jim Biden <\/a>in the infamous deal with CEFC, the Chinese energy giant, Bobulinski now believes the effort by a string of Chinese business leaders to hook up with the Bidens was more than just a \u201cpolitical or influence investment,\u201d as he once described it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe Chinese intelligence officials infiltrated the Biden family,\u201d he told me last week. \u201cAnd I think eventually the FBI and Justice Department will peel it back and realize this was a Chinese intel operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>The distinction is significant because of the stakes. Bobulinski, who two years ago said <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/27\/hunter-bidens-biz-partner-called-joe-biden-the-big-guy-in-panic-over-laptop\/\">Joe Biden was the \u201cbig guy\u201d<\/a> slated to get a secret 10% cut in a deal with CEFC, credits his conclusion to what he calls \u201caggregating all the data points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based on what he saw firsthand, what was on Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop and the disappearance of most of the Chinese officials who paid millions of dollars to the Biden family, Bobulinski now believes there is \u201ca zero chance that all this is random.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the idea that the targeting of the Bidens during Joe\u2019s years as vice president was a Chinese intelligence operation is the only explanation that makes sense. The target was too big, the effort too extensive for it to be anything else.<\/p>\n<p>GOP Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson appear to be reaching a similar conclusion. They recently <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/27\/grassley-johnson-send-hunter-biden-investigator-bank-records-linked-to-presidents-son\/\">sent more than 200 bank documents<\/a> from their probe of the Biden family to the US Attorney in Delaware who is ostensibly leading the federal probe of Hunter Biden that seems to be going nowhere.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-4.jpg\" alt=\"Hunter Biden during the White House Easter Egg Roll\" class=\"wp-image-24457080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-4.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-4.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin-4.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Hunter Biden and the Biden family have been under scrutiny regarding their ties to China.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Demetrius Freeman\/The Washington Post via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The documents, the senators wrote, focus on \u201cthe Biden family\u2019s connections to the Chinese regime and persons connected to its military and intelligence elements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson told Fox News evidence the president is compromised is \u201chiding in plain sight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Broadly speaking, all of China\u2019s spy network, cyber intrusions and theft of technology and business secrets undercut America and advance China\u2019s aim of global domination.<\/p>\n<h2>National-security issue<\/h2>\n<p>But intelligence and military operations targeting America take the battle to a new level because of the aim of piercing our national security.

They have penetrated US political campaigns to gain insight into future American policymaking. And they have compromised America\u2019s own espionage networks, reportedly helping to expose and disrupt US intelligence activities in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report added an ominous point: \u201cChina\u2019s intelligence targeting of American officials has become a major justification for US tech restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nearly all those espionage earmarks converge to support the view the Biden family was targeted \u2014 and took the bait.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin.jpg\" alt=\"President Joe Biden\" class=\"wp-image-24457081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-china-goodwin.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>President Biden casts his early vote for the 2022 midterm elections with his granddaughter in Wilmington, Delaware, on Oct. 29.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Tasos Katopodis\/REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How much damage has been done already seems to be of no concern to Garland, Wray and the somnolent Washington media. Despite having Hunter\u2019s laptop since 2019, there is zero indication the FBI has even considered the clear evidence that Joe benefited from the many millions Chinese handlers wired to Hunter\u2019s accounts. Their inaction smells like a deliberate attempt not to know.<\/p>\n<p>By all means, the Justice Department should continue to crack down on China\u2019s myriad efforts to lie, cheat and steal its way to global dominance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter alignleft\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\tKeep up with today&#8217;s most important news\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\tStay up on the very latest with Evening Update.\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But its duty to safeguard national security makes it imperative that investigators also pay special attention to China\u2019s efforts to undermine America\u2019s strength by targeting key individuals and families.
