Joe Biden Has $5.2 Million In 'Unexplained' Income

The details are in here, but I don't know how to follow it. @Lutherf ?
Can you do it ?

That article is mostly a C&P of the Daily Mail piece.

The discrepancy is noted thusly -
Between 2017 and 2019 he and First Lady Jill Biden reported $16.5million in gross income on their federal tax returns, released by the Biden campaign.


The vast majority came from their two companies, CelticCapri Corp and Giacoppa Corp, which they use for speaking and writing engagements.


But in Office of Government Ethics (OGE) fillings for the same period, Joe only reported $9.6million in income for himself and his wife.
It is partially explained as -
Some of the remaining roughly $7million came from wages earned by the First Lady from her Northern Virginia Community College teaching job and a salary she paid herself from Giacoppa, which the couple were not required to report to the OGE.
However, there is roughly $5.2 Million NOT explained.
But a comparison of the income reported by Joe from his CelticCapri company on OGE reports versus what he told the IRS, shows a difference of almost $5.2million which remains unaccounted for.

No conclusive evidence has yet emerged that Joe profited from any of Hunter’s business deals.

But the potential discrepancy in the president’s financial filings, and his alleged links to Hunter’s Chinese ventures, raise troubling questions over where the unexplained $5,180,071 came from.

Joe’s OGE filing submitted in July 2019 shows around $8,699,787 of income for him and Jill from 2017 through May 2019. This includes $7,451,727 which he said came from CelticCapri Corp.

His OGE form submitted in May 2020 added another $907,160 that wasn’t paid until after their 2019 report, bringing the total for the period to $9,606,947, and the total for CelticCapri to $8,065,464.

Joe’s 2017 federal tax return shows $11million of adjusted gross income, almost $4.6million in 2018, and $985,233 in 2019. That’s a total of about $16.5million – some $6,990,032 more than what was listed on his OGE forms.

Joe’s tax returns detail income from CelticCapri of $9,636,690 in 2017, $3,030,667 in 2018 and $578,178 in 2019, making a total of $13,245,535.

This is $5,180,071 more than the CelticCapri earnings he reported on his OGE forms.

If you keep scrolling down, it shows the documents they are referring to. Did you see those? I did read the article, but I was lost.

That last post had the major details but I see how it can be confusing. Let me try it this way -

This report is looking at income from 2017-2019.

Looking at the tax returns Joe showed income of
2017 - $11m
2018 - $4.6m
2019 - $985k
Total - $16.5m

Looking at OGE filings Joe showed -
July 2019 report for 2017-2019 - $$8.7m
May 2020 report showing additional 2017-2019 income - $907k
Total - $9.6m

That's a $7m discrepancy. Roughly $2m of that discrepancy is explained by some of Jill's income that was not required to be reported. The other $5m is a mystery BUT, perhaps purely circumstantially, that figure comes rather close to income suggested to be from the Hunter deal in China. The implication is that Joe reported it as taxable income to the IRS but failed to disclose it on the OGE filings, presumably because doing so would have showed ties to Hunter's "work".
 
Hunter told his sister in an email, he paid all the family bills for years and gave half his salary to his father for years. Hidden income for Joe.
YOU don't know any of that = aka lies and misinformation

COVID 19 Is Among The Reasons Americans Need Single-Payer
With a system that is highly dependent on employer-based, for-profit health insurance, millions of Americans have no or inadequate coverage. The patchwork of expensive, unequal insurance plans has contributed to bankruptcy, homelessness, preventable disease, and death.

Inflated insurance and health care costs place unfair demands on businesses and taxpayers. By making high-quality health care for all as cost-effective as possible, a single-payer system meets the health needs of the public and contributes to a healthy economy.

Lies, lies, and more lies. Anything to trash the evil Orange man. Did you think we wouldn’t call you on it?
You people started this with this insane scorched Earth propaganda push.
Now, in the arena of politics, we shall see who leaves the field of battle intact.
It’s time to set the record straight.
what does the Steele Dossier have to do with this thread?
 
Well there’s half the 10m for the ‘Big Guy’.

Where is he trying to hide the rest?

We need impeachment hearings immediately ———

According to financial records, Joe Biden has $5.2 million in “unexplained income” that (by pure coincidence, of course) was acquired around the same time Hunter Biden was raking in big bucks from foreign business deals and earmarking “10 percent for the Big Guy.”

You know that Biden's tax returns are available for viewing right? He's posted them publicly for years.

He had 7 million more reported on his tax return than on his OGE filing. Everything on his tax return is not required on his OGE filing....this is true for everyone. He has also reported income from his wife and other income that he would not report on OGE....why don't you know this? Oh, because Trump never showed his.
 
wth is this site that is trying to masquerade as the NYT? A website from Turkey is your proof? Good grief....
I'm not trying to 'prove' anything, but I do like to know what they're talking about. And I can't follow it all.

But Clara, that's what I want to figure out. According to the article, and the docs provided, is the info there to say the income not on the OGE is unreportable? It notes that the income from Bidens' 2 companies are not required to be reported, and I wondered if the docs show that's the answer. The article implies that was already factored in.

That's why I asked a tax accountant. However, he didn't really tell me anything that's not stated, either.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I do, but I am wary of sources from either side that aren't transparent about who they are or masquerade as other sites...especially from foreign sources. I don't think there is anything unreported.....I think it is all bunk, but I still prefer well sourced sites.

Me, too. WaPo would walk me through it. I won't dismiss it out of hand, though--just waiting on the rest of the story, as that radio guy used to say.

I don't think the entire government apparatus would ignore it if Biden were on the take, but then I consider the alternative, and yeah, maybe they did, to get shut of that scheister Trump.

they didn't ignore it. They also don't have Trump's tax returns to compare his OGE filings.

one president was transparent and people are pointing with a gotcha attitude, but not applying the same standard to the dude who won't show his taxes...even though he said he would. All politicians should be required to do this as part of their running for office.

You act as if we have to make up anything to trash Trump. He starts by attacking innocent youths, the Central Park Five, with ad ad, the copy of which could have been written by a lynch mob leader. When they are exonerated years later, he can't muster the balls to admit he possibly was wrong. He appears on camera bragging about assaulting women. Then he moves on to his absurd birtherism. Along the way he opens a phony university for which he has to pay out $25 million in damages. There is also a foundation, which among other things, pays for his personal bills and for a portrait of him. It is closed down and he is prohibited from doing any similar work for a number of years. Just for shits and giggles, he buys steaks and re-wraps them as "Trump Steaks." He gets elected prez after suggestion that illegal migrants are rapists, offering no proof. He calls legal immigrants poisonous snakes. He spreads outrageous lies about black crime. Though elected, he loses the popular vote, and claims three million illegals voted. A committee formed to investigates finds nada. He is defeated in 2020 and naturally, as several times before, claims the election was rigged.

Call me on any of the above.

Glad to see you Alan.

Yep. So what?

He has millions of unexplained income. I’m cool if everyone is Ok with it since that’s how DC works. We’ve just never had such an illustration of corruption within the White House.

Seems like a pretty straightforward concept, right? Defend the guy who lies about disclosing his taxes while trying (unsuccessfully) to trash the guy who always has disclosed his. A 5 year old could probably pick up on the hypocrisy in that scenario, even if they didn't know the word.
 
I thought I'd just add this TrumpCon chestnut to the thread. Seems a very appropriate place.....

"You've got him now!!!!!!!"
