Hunter in fact drove a hard bargain for his "introductions" to his father and perhaps others in the Obama administration and the cash rolled in. And American foreign policy became quite the object out there for sale. Imagine this machine scarfing up cash, and combine it with the Clinton and maybe Obama poltical machines also scarfing up cash from third world satraps eager for an audience.
Tucker Carlson: 'Did Joe Biden Subvert American Foreign Policy in Order to Enrich his Own Family?'
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson has new Hunter Biden emails. They
look authentic. The review his ream suggests so, but added some skepticism,
noting that if they are fake, we’ve all fallen for a sophisticated and complex
hoax. The son of the former vice president was always an issue. His gig with
Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company where he sat on its board making $50k/month
despite having zero energy industry experience, raised alarms even in the Obama
administration. He slithered into this position back in 2014, when Papa Joe was
leading anti-corruption efforts in the country. Burisma was being investigated
for corruption and all of a sudden, the prosecutor in the case was fired.
It’s long
been alleged that Hunter was there selling access to top Obama officials. These
emails point to that, with Burisma obtaining access to a leaked
Obama White House conference call. Joe Biden has said he knew
nothing of his son’s dealings. Wrong. Emails show Joe was introduced through
his son to
executives from Burisma. Yet, Tucker’s new batch suggests that
Burisma explicitly wanted Hunter to ask his dad to kill any probes into the
company—and that’s exactly what happened. Tucker pointedly asked “Did Joe Biden
subvert American foreign policy to enrich his own family” (via Fox
News):

On
Nov. 2, 2015, at 4:36 p.m., a Burisma executive called Vadym Pozharskyi emailed
Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer. The purpose of the email,
Pozharskyi explains, is to "be on the same page re our final goals ...
including, but not limited to: a concrete course of actions."
So
what did Burisma want, exactly? Well, good PR, for starters. Pozharskyi wanted
"high-ranking US [sic] officials" to express their "positive
opinion" of Burisma, and then he wanted the administration to act on
Burisma's behalf.
"The
scope of work should also include organization of a visit of a number of widely
recognized and influential current and/or former US [sic] policy-makers to
Ukraine in November, aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive
signal/message and support" to Burisma.
The
goal, Pozharskyi explained, was to "close down for [sic] any
cases/pursuits" against the head of Burisma in Ukraine.
It
couldn't be clearer what they wanted. Burisma wanted Huter Biden's father to
get their company out of legal trouble with the Ukrainian government. And
that's exactly what happened. One month later to the day, on Dec. 2, 2015,
Hunter Biden received a notice from a Washington PR firm called Blue Star
Strategies, which apparently had been hired to lobby the Obama administration
on Ukraine. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" have exclusively obtained that
email.
"Hello
all ..." it began. "This morning, the White House hosted a conference
call regarding the Vice President's upcoming trip to Ukraine. Attached is a
memo from the Blue Star Strategies team with the minutes of the call, which
outlined the trip's agenda and addressed several questions regarding U.S.
policy toward Ukraine."
So
here you have a PR firm involved in an official White House foreign policy
call. How could that happen? Good question. But it worked.
Days
later, Joe Biden flew to Ukraine and did exactly what his son wanted. The vice
president gave a speech slamming the very Ukrainian law enforcement official
who was tormenting Burisma. If the Ukrainian government didn't fire its top
prosecutor, a man called Viktor Shokin, Biden explained, the administration
would withhold a billion dollars in American aid. Now, Ukraine is a poor
country, so they had no choice but to obey. Biden's bullying worked. He bragged
about it later.
And it’s
not just Hunter causing ethical heartburn here. Joe Biden’s
son-in-law, Howard Krein, is informally advising the former VP on coronavirus
policy while peddling a million-dollar COVID investment opportunity in StartUp
Health. Politico reported
on this potential conflict of interest, adding that Startup Health is “putting
the full support of its platform and network behind building a post-Covid world
that uses technology and entrepreneurial ingenuity to improve health outcomes.”
And now, the FBI is investigating Hunter’s emails as part of a possible
foreign intelligence operation.
Hunter
emails were exposed when he dropped off his MacBook Pro at a repair shop in
Delaware in April of 2019. He didn’t pick it up. The owner then sent the device
to the FBI, but not before making a copy which he gave to Rudy Giuliani’s
lawyer. So, how long did the FBI know about this? That’s another story
entirely. For now, we have more Dirty Biden news.
The use of "the Biden crime family" is no mere
hyperbole. Before Rudy Giuliani was "America's
Mayor," he was one of America's top prosecutors,
which included bringing down mafia crime
families. And he has evidence — from Hunter —
that implicates not only Hunter and Joe Biden, but
also James (Joe's brother) and Sara (James's
wife). One set of payments from China went to a
triad of Bidens: James, Hunter, and Sara. Don't
worry, Giuliani says — you're going to see it in the
texts, not making it up.
emails: Burisma Adviser Told Hunter Biden His ‘Ultimate Purpose’ Was to ‘Close Down’ Investigations
An adviser to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma suggested in an email in 2015 that Hunter Biden was expected to provide “deliverables” for the company, including the “ultimate purpose” of stopping “cases/pursuits into the company’s founder.
The email, contained in a batch published by Ken LaCorte at the Media Action Network, is reportedly from the same laptop that has been the source for a recent series of articles in the New York Post purportedly about Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The authenticity of the emails has not been verified.
The batch includes an email in November 2015 from Burisma adviser Vadim Pozharskyi to Hunter Biden’s business partners (on which Hunter Biden was cc’ed), outlining a set of “deliverables.”
The emails make clear that Biden and his partners were expected to arrange meetings with U.S. and Ukrainian officials with the goal of “improving Nikolay’s case and his situation in Ukraine.”
“Nikolay” appears to refer to Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, according to the Post.
Pozharskyi wrote that the “list of deliverables” included “the ultimate purpose” of stopping “cases/pursuits against Nikolay”:
My only concern is focus to be on the same page re our final goals. With this in mind, I would like to formulate a list of deliverables, including, but not limited to: a concrete course of actions, uncle. meetings/communications resulting in high-ranking US officials in Ukraine (US Ambassador) and in US publicly or in private communication/comment expressing their “positive opinion” and support of Nikolay/Burisma to the highest level of decision makers here in Ukraine :President of Ukraine, president Chief of staff, Prosecutor General, etc
The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US policy-makers to Ukraine in November aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive signal/message and support on Nikolay’s issue to the Ukrainian top officials above with the ultimate purpose to close down for any cases/pursuits against Nikolay in Ukraine.
Other emails in the trove show a keen awareness of Hunter Biden’s relationship to his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, who was leading U.S. diplomacy with regard to Ukraine.
In May 2014, Pozharksyi wrote to Hunter Biden and Archer explaining that Burisma was under pressure from the Ukrainian government. He claimed that government officials, seeking cash, had decided to pressure the company by launching investigations that could result in the company losing its energy licenses or its business partners.
He added:”We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions”.
Another May 2014 email from Heather King, a partner at the Boies, Schiller & Flexner law firm, to Pozharskyi — on which Hunter Biden and Archer were cc’ed — proposed creating a “bullet-proof vest” for Burisma, including relationships with U.S. government officials.
Another email, dated May 13, 2014, reported that Vice President Biden’s counsel called Hunter Biden’s business partners to ask that they tell Burisma to take down a photograph of Devon Hunter and Joe Biden that appeared on Burisma’s website.
That was the same day reporters asked the White House and State Department about Hunter Biden’s relationship with Burisma. (Joe Biden has claimed that he was not informed about potential conflicts of interest posed by his son’s work for Burisma.)
In 2018, former Vice President Joe Biden boasted that he had threatened Ukraine with the loss of $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees — in the middle of a war with Russia — if the country did not fire its top prosecutor, which it then did.
Former Vice President Biden has also denied having anything to do with his son’s overseas business interests, but the Post revealed that Hunter Biden had arranged a meeting between his father and Pozharskyi in 2015.
Breitbart News reached out to Pozharskyi for comment via email, but received no response.
