Breitbart: Former Vice President Joe Biden went to great lengths to boost his son-in-law’s health care company while in the White House, briefing investors on the firm’s merits and even arranging access to the Oval Office. The bombshell revelations are detailed in Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite — a new book by Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at Breitbart News and the president of the Government Accountability Institute.
In June 2011, Biden arranged a private meeting for two StartUp Health executives with then-President Barack Obama in the Oval Office. At the time of the meeting, the company had been around for only a few weeks. It had yet to finalize its business plan, let alone develop a website.
The meeting was all the more surprising since StartUp Health was not proposing any new or radical ideas for health care, at least not to the degree of warranting a meeting with the nation’s commander-in-chief.
“Their status as a health care incubator was hardly unique,” Schweizer writes in Profiles in Corruption. “In fact, there were thirty-one similar companies operating in the state of California alone, and another eleven in the state of New York.”
As Schweizer outlines, the only significant factor that set StartUp Health apart from others in its field was that its chief medical officer, Howard Krein, was engaged to Biden’s daughter, Ashley. Krein, a head and neck doctor by training, seemed to have become an integral part of Biden’s inner-circle even before he officially wed into the family in June 2012. more here
No wonder Slow Joe gets testy when questioned about his boy’s dealings, he’s up to his ears in it
Joe had time on his hands to do these things. Obama was doing a fantastic job of screwing up this country on his own and didn’t really need Joe’s help.
Awww, wasn’t that nice of him.
Clearly a serious conflict of interest. Joe will be
A. Arrested
B. Convicted and imprisoned
C. Stripped of governmental pension and benefits
D. None of the above
I’m going with “D”
All that while fetching coffee for Barry and banana leaves for Mooch. Impressive multi-tasking Joe!
SMDH
No controlling legal authority, Spiro! STFU!
Already debunked. Right?
Joe didn’t know that the company was connected to his son until he read about it in the book.
I remember a few years back when someone nominated Rush Limbaugh. Someone should do it again, given his condition. He’d get a kick from it.
Cronyism, waste, and corruption are baked into the cake. Remember that when you hear a late night TV comedian joke about bureaucratic incompetence or read a headline about some political scandal.
And why should this not be thought of as a crime ?
He and his son should be in prison.
But because they are smellocrats they get a

is regarded as a crime that the
