Yeah, I already debunked that story.

There is no evidence "Hunter" ever received a dime of money from the former Moscow Mayor's wife.
So ... it definitely looks like Patrick Ho was on the shady side as was Ye.
What I get from that entire article is it's
possible they were part of a Chinese influence operation. Mostly, it just seems like they were shady businessmen. Shows bad judgement,
maybe, by Hunter.
So he legally represented Ho, well, shady people get legal representation, too. So he and James invested in CEFC, seems to have been a bad idea, it went belly up in 2020. They both had connections to the Chinese government but as I keep saying - who in China's state capitalist system doesn't.
All in all, I still don't see much there, there.
Nothing leads me to conclude they were blackmailing any member of the Biden family.
I get why the Justice Department might want to investigate further. So far, I can't see how whatever they might find has anything to do with Joe.
If they were trying to run an influence operation on/through Hunter ... well, that is their wrongdoing, not his.
