light of the current news focus on this story, we thought we would republish our piece from two years ago, in which we laid out all the facts. FBI spyhunter Charlie McGonigal was investigating CEFC China Energy, a Chinese intelligence front company. He determined it was buying African officials on U.S. soil. At the same time, this investigation revealed that CEFC was engaging in the same behavior with the Bidens. McGonigal met with a CEFC employee. He took money. The Africans were prosecuted. The Biden connection was buried. And, a real-life Manchurian Candidate sat down in the Oval Office while the FBI stood by and did nothing. CIA\u2019s China Ops apparently found none of this worth investigating either.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>BEGIN ORIGINAL ARTICLE.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>This Substack is reader-supported.

McGonigal is the former head of FBI counterintelligence in New York. New York is the FBI\u2019s biggest field office. As head of counterintelligence in New York, McGonigal was one of the nation\u2019s top spy hunters.<\/p>\r\n<p>McGonigal <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/3c29f626-b1d7-43a3-b33c-3e854d600a90?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8\">took<\/a> almost a quarter of a million dollars from a former Albanian intelligence officer. Albania has historically been a close partner of Communist China. The Albanian who paid McGonigal was a guy named Agron Neza. Neza worked for CEFC China Energy and subsequently brought into the relationship another Albanian named Dorian Ducka who also worked for CEFC China Energy. At one point in May of 2017, in fact, Ducka was photographed standing with CEFC China Energy chairman Ye Jianming.<\/p>\r\n<table data-component-name=\"Image2ToDOMStatic\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/628898d3-781d-4a2b-9be6-38505d777eaa?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8\"><img src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!33PO!,w_1100,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b996e44-4a95-46cd-a30a-2f5e1480fa60_992x1100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"609.8790322580645\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;&lt;a href=\" substack-post-media=\"\" 0b996e44-4a95-46cd-a30a-2f5e1480fa60_992x1100=\"\" \/>https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/0b996e44-4a95-46cd-a30a-2f5e1480fa60_992x1100.png\"<\/a>,\"srcNoWatermark\":null,\"fullscreen\":null,\"imageSize\":null,\"height\":1100,\"width\":992,\"resizeWidth\":null,\"bytes\":653559,\"alt\":\"\",\"title\":null,\"type\":\"image\/png\",\"href\":\"<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MarcoPolo501c3\/status\/1620849301319733248?s=20&quot;\">https:\/\/x.com\/MarcoPolo501c3\/status\/1620849301319733248?s=20\"<\/a>,\"belowTheFold\":false,\"topImage\":true,\"internalRedirect\":null,\"isProcessing\":false,\"align\":null,\"offset\":false}\" \/&gt;<\/td>\r\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p>CEFC China Energy was a Chinese intelligence front company. It existed not to conduct legitimate commercial business but to buy influence. It was part of <em><strong>China\u2019s elite capture operations <\/strong><\/em>worldwide. CEFC China Energy was also in direct contact with Hunter Biden.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ye Jianming famously gave Hunter a 3.16-carat diamond estimated to be worth $80,000 in February 2017. Ye also put Hunter on a $1 million \u201clegal retainer\u201d in mid-2017. Hunter and Jim Biden ultimately received at least $6 million from CEFC. Hunter famously leased office space in Georgetown to share with CEFC officials. He also rented an office for Joe Biden at the same location and got Joe his own set of keys.<\/p>\r\n<p>Hunter set up shop just up the river from the nation\u2019s capital with Chinese spies.<\/p>\r\n<p>One of Hunter\u2019s key CEFC contacts was Patrick Ho. Hunter famously referred to Ho as the \u201cf-ing spy chief of China\u201d. The FBI investigated Ho for buying African officials while on U.S. soil. In November of 2017 when Ho returned from a trip to China, he was arrested by the FBI and charged. He was subsequently convicted and sent to prison in the United States.<\/p>\r\n<p>The FBI agents who arrested Ho worked for McGonigal. As head of counterintelligence in New York McGonigal ran the investigation that led the FBI to Ho. In the course of that investigation, McGonigal\u2019s people also uncovered Ho\u2019s contacts with Hunter Biden and the almost textbook influence-buying scheme the Chinese were running targeting the Bidens. The FBI <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/8303258b-b60f-4031-b02e-d6df74d65463?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8\">coverage<\/a> included monitoring of the wire transfers from CEFC to the Bidens. The FBI knew that a Chinese intelligence front company was paying the then Vice-President\u2019s son and brother.<\/p>\r\n<p>The payments from CEFC to the Bidens, earmarked as \u201cconsulting fees,\" raised so many <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/6e0831fe-2e30-4ddd-b716-d86ed8e2e9ce?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8\">red flags<\/a> at Wells Fargo and other banks that they notified the Treasury Department they had <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/7533e02a-791e-4e91-93db-6800dae95bd4?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8\">concerns<\/a> about possible money laundering and other financial crimes. Treasury, in turn, generated 150 Suspicious Activity Reports related to the financial transactions.<\/p>\r\n<p>In a May 2017 meeting at a Beverly Hills hotel, Joe Biden discussed the CEFC venture with Hunter's business associate Tony Bobulinski. An email that same month described the \u201cbig guy\u201d getting a 10% cut of the CEFC money. Bobulinski has confirmed Joe Biden was the \u201cbig guy.\u201d An October 2017 email, moreover, identifies the former vice president as a participant in a call about CEFC\u2019s plans to purchase U.S. natural gas.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ho\u2019s first call from jail was to James Biden. The call was made less than 10 minutes after agents read Ho his Miranda rights.<\/p>\r\n<p>And, yet, even as the FBI and DOJ took Ho to trial they moved aggressively to cover up any evidence of CEFC\u2019s contacts with Hunter and the Biden crime family. In fact, <em>Hunter\u2019s name was actually redacted<\/em> from court exhibits introduced during the prosecution of Ho.
