(Tea Party PAC) – A review of government documents from the Washington Free Beacon has discovered that one of Joe Biden’s biggest donors and someone he considers to be one of his “closest friends,” has landed millions of dollars in federal contracts, not to mention a rather prestigious job working in the White House.
I guess Joe “The Big Guy” Biden is a firm believer in the idea of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours,” isn’t he? This isn’t something new. We’ve seen reports pop up time and time again of how Biden, when occupying the office of vice president during the Obama administration, essentially allowed his son, Hunter, to sell political influence to make the pair of them a hefty chunk of change.
“Biden in September of last year placed close confidant Joe Kiani (pictured here), the founder and CEO of the medical technology company Masimo Corporation, on the influential President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Kiani’s company, which manufactures various medical devices, has received almost $3 million in federal government contracts since Biden took office in 2021. Its contracts include funding from the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services,” The Free Beacon reported.
The council, according to information posted on its website, “advises the president on matters involving science, technology, education, and innovation policy” and “provides the president with scientific and technical information that is needed to inform public policy.”
The new post, along with the contracts, were awarded just a couple of years after Kiani emerged as one of Biden’s top donors. Back in 2017, the Masimo Foundation donated at least $1 million to the Biden Foundation. And that’s on top of the $500,000 from Kiani and his wife, according to donations that were disclosed by the foundation itself.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Kiani put together more than a million dollars for Biden, who might just be one of the most corrupt politicians of all time, and then hosted a virtual fundraiser event for him. He also gave $750,000 to Unite the Country, a Super PAC that is very pro-Biden, along with his foundation giving another million bucks for Biden’s inaugural committee.
Boy, this guy sure gave Joe Biden a whole lot of fat stacks of cash, didn’t he? And then with all of these contracts he landed and that nice position in the White House, it seems pretty obvious this man bought his way into the heart of the Biden family.
“The Biden-Kiani relationship dates back years, and the president has not attempted to shield the friendship. At a 2018 conference sponsored by an organization Kiani funds, Biden referred to the businessman as ‘one of my closest friends.’ In 2015, then-vice president Biden delivered the keynote address at Kiani’s Patient Safety, Science, and Technology Summit,” the report from the Free Beacon revealed.
“Kiani’s post has raised the eyebrows of one member of the House Oversight Committee, who told the Free Beacon he plans to look into the potential ‘cronyism,'” the report added.
“Cronyism in any form is wrong,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R., S.C.), who is also on the House Oversight Committee, went on to proclaim. “For someone who has spent almost 40 years in Washington, you’d think President Biden of all people would know that.”
“Yet here we are, another campaign donor receiving a post in the administration, this time on the prestigious President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. It’s important to get to the bottom of this, and I’m happy to help lead that charge,” he continued.
“The post and lucrative contracts to Kiani’s company after his massive donations to the president further undermine claims from the Biden administration that it has the highest ethical standards of any White House in history,” the Free Beacon reported.
According to some government spending disclosures, both the Obama and the Trump administrations gave Masimo contracts that total in the millions. However, Masimo is now on track to surpass the amount of contracts that were offered under the previous administrations.
At the time of this writing, neither the White House or Masimo responded to a request for comment.
Employees who work at Masimo Corporation ended up donating thousands of dollars to Joe Biden’s American Possibilities PAC, which instantly made the company the biggest supporter of the super PAC.
“Other members of the Biden family have fostered relationships with Kiani as well. Biden’s son-in-law, Howard Krein, is the chief medical officer of Startup Health, a company that was launched with significant investment from Kiani’s Masimo Corporation, which was part of a nearly $20 million funding round in 2018. During Biden’s presidential campaign, Krein served as an informal adviser to his campaign while working at the Masimo-invested Startup Health, which was simultaneously running ‘a special initiative to invest in health care startups that offer solutions to the pandemic,’ according to Politico. Biden’s son Hunter and brother Frank have both leveraged their ties to the president as part of their business pitches,” the report stated.
“Since Kiani joined the Biden administration, his foundation, the Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation, and Competition in Healthcare, has funded coverage in USA Today about health and patient safety. Among the content paid for by Kiani’s foundation is a recent story about the administration’s at-home COVID test kit roll out. USA Today says the Masimo Foundation has no editorial input on news coverage. Its most recent public tax forms show over $350,000 of donations to USA Today to expand the outlet’s “capacity to produce unique, groundbreaking journalism aimed at improving patient safety and outcomes,'” the report from the Free Beacon said.
Joe Biden has so much dirt underneath his fingernails it’s impossible to scrape it all out. It seems very clear that Biden is in love with money and has done everything possible, above board and below it, to ensure he has all his heart desires.
Will Biden ever be held accountable for all of the corruption he has participated in during the tenure of his extremely lengthy political career?
It’s hard to say at this point in time.
One thing’s for sure. We’ve only started going below the surface.
