A firm employing James Biden, the younger brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, received more than $1.5 billion in government-backed contracts during the Obama administration.
The dovetailing of James Biden’s professional life with his brother’s political influence is extensively detailed in Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite—a new book by Peter Schweizer, senior contributor at Breitbart News and president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI).
In 2010, shortly after a disastrous attempt at running a hedge fund with his nephew Hunter, James Biden entered the construction and international development industry. Even though he lacked background in either, James secured a position as executive vice president at the newly formed HillStone International, LLC. The firm, which was a subsidiary of the long struggling Hill International, was unique for a multitude of reasons.
“The president of HillStone International was Kevin Justice, who grew up in Delaware and was a longtime Biden family friend,” Schweizer writes in his book. “He was friends with lots of Bidens, especially Joe’s sons Hunter and Beau.”
Under Justice’s leadership, the company was setting out to pursue technology and construction projects in the Middle East.

If you were smart you'd want Biden to run against Trump. He'll poll lower than Bernie or Warren. He'd be Hillary 2.0
Northwest Woodsman: No experience is a common denominator for politicians in our government, including local government. Their only experience is from running for election and then preparing for re-election. People idolize these clowns like they are something special and we need them to make decisions for us. In reality, these are people that, if you were unfortunate enough to meet them somewhere for lunch, you would get up halfway through and leave. I spent two years as a congressional liaison officer and have personal experience in the observing their personalities and behavior in their natural habitat and for the most part, they are not too bright. If it were not for their staffers doing research and writing policies and bills, their incompetence would become obvious to everyone. My point is , don’t put them on a pedestal, as they are probably less intelligent than you but are better actors.
Just another reason the Democrats want to impeach Pres. Trump. Trump stated he would drain the swamp and he is doing this and the Democrats are worried he will take away their crooked schemes and their millions.
The US Government is totally corrupt to its core
Honor among thieves
The sad thing is our government has become too big to try and rise up to right these wrongs. We're nothing but slaves to the corruption and government theft
Time these Bastards go to Prison > Both Bidens !!!!!!
Maybe he will be called as a witness in the current Trump impeachment.
