Biden's Son, Brother Named in Two Suits

Sunday, August 24, 2008; Page A09

A son and a brother of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, court records show.

A lawsuit filed by their former partner Anthony Lotito Jr. asserts in court papers that the deal was crafted to get Hunter Biden out of lobbying because his father was concerned about the impact it would have on his bid for the White House. Biden was running for the Democratic nomination at the time the suit was filed.

Oh boy, Zer-0 picked well.

I have no doubts about this being a ligit suit. The Oboits are probably on their way as we speak to muzzle this guy who filed the lawsuit.

Was Hunter at Daddy's coronation last night?

McCain's son? Done any googling on him?

Of course and I didn't just read the Huff Po garbage.

There is no evidence that the younger Mr. McCain committed any wrongdoing, or that Sen. McCain, the Republican presidential candidate from Arizona, had any knowledge or involvement in the bank's woes, which partly stemmed from troubled construction and land-development loans.

Mr. McCain's full-time job is chief financial officer of Hensley & Co., the Arizona beer distributor that is owned by Sen. McCain's wife, Cindy. The younger Mr. McCain is also chairman of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. A person close to Mr. McCain said he worried about balancing his responsibilities to the bank, Hensley and the chamber. The bank has "got serious problems and they need directors that can devote tons of time," the person said.

Mr. McCain joined Silver State's board and audit committee in February 2008.

By the way, this is the son of CAROL McCain and her first husband who ran around on her. You remember her, the "poor crippled woman" (DU language) that John McCain divorced but who still supports his Presidential run?

We are still good friends. He is the best man for president.

McCain adopted her two sons when they married.
