ELECTION 2024 - Biden Says He Will Announce Run for Reelection 'Soon' - UNLESS HE'S PUT IN A HOME, IMPEACHED OR DEPORTED TO GITMO WITH HIS CUBAN MAYORKAS

 

Biden Says He Will Announce Run for Reelection 'Soon'

Reuters
April 17, 2023

KNOCK, Ireland (Reuters)—U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday he has decided to run for a second term and would formally announce his re-election campaign "relatively soon."

"We'll announce it relatively soon. But the trip here just reinforced my sense of optimism about what can be done," Biden told reporters at the tail-end of an emotional trip to Ireland. "I told you my plan is to run again."

Biden has long said he intended to run for re-election but the lack of a formal announcement has sometimes given jitters to supporters unsure if the 80-year-old Democrat, one of the oldest world leaders, would really commit to another four-year term.

Yet behind the scenes, close aides and allies have already begun putting the steps in place to stand up a campaign infrastructure and fundraising apparatus ahead of a 2024 bid that could be a re-run of the 2020 match-up with Republican ex-president Donald Trump, who has already launched his campaign.

Biden's expected pitch is to "finish the job" after a first term that included several legislative wins, including billions of dollars in federal funds to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and for new infrastructure.

But Biden's age makes his re-election bid a historic and risky gamble for the Democratic Party, which faces a tough election map to hold the Senate in 2024 and is the minority in the House of Representatives now. Biden's approval ratings are stuck in the low 40s; he would be 86 by the end of a prospective second term, nine years older than the average U.S. male life expectancy.

Doctors declared Biden, who does not drink alcohol and exercises five times a week, "fit for duty" after an examination in February. The White House says his record shows that he is mentally sharp enough for the rigors of the job.

Obama Bad; Biden Worse

Barack Obama was a bad president, but Biden is even worse, writes Christopher Roach at American Greatness.

Let's face it, as America's First Black President, Barack Obama had the opportunity of the ages to put racial animosity to bed, and start a new age of comity. But he didn't.

Optimism surrounded his election, and even many opponents were hopeful that his victory would demonstrate to both white and black Americans that extreme racial tensions were a thing of the past and no longer a consuming national problem…

But no.

[Obama] never hesitated to criticize white Americans in general… and race relations were noticeably worse at the end of his term than they were at the beginning of it.

Then there's Biden:

Unimaginably, Joe Biden is a worse president than Barack Obama, a complete phony and a disaster in every way possible, as is the deep state that controls much of his agenda.

Why? Why didn't Obama make himself the Hope of the ages and Change racial animosity? Why has the "moderate" Biden supercharged the woke agenda from climate change to systemic racism?

My analysis comes down to two reasons.

First, in politics you must have an enemy. Otherwise, government has nothing to do.

Second, in politics you never admit you are wrong and you Made Things Worse. You always blame the enemy. See Reason One, above.

Let's apply Reason One to Obama and the race question. Why didn't Obama bury the hatchet? It's simple. Ever since Marx, our educated rulers have practiced an over/under political formula, where the ruling educated class rules as the Ally of the Oppressed in a war against the enemy oppressors. If the working class are no longer the oppressed du jour, then blacks must be defended against racists, women against sexists, gays against homophobes, and now transgenders against the mighty armies of J.K. Rowling. Otherwise, what's the point of politics for Barack?

Let's apply Reason Two to Biden and "worse." I say that just about everything that the educated ruling class has imposed upon the human race for the last century has Made Things Worse. Pay-as-you-go Pensions? The government's Social Security is going broke. Health care? Government has given it away for free to some people and made it insanely expensive for others. Welfare? Free government money has demolished the low-income family so that the men don't work much and the women don't marry much. Education? Education is now just about teachers getting paid to do nothing and contribute to Democratic campaigns. But free stuff!

Let's just assume that my analysis is right, that politics needs an enemy and that our modern government-centered pensions, healthcare and education have Made Things Worse. Would any woke progressive ever admit it? Not a bit of it. Transgenders are victims, period. If Social Security is in trouble it must be because of Evil Republicans that want to cut it. If health care is in trouble it must be because of greedy drug companies. If education is failing to educate black kids, it must be because of systemic racism.

And I don't mean that the progressives are being cynical and blaming Republicans. I mean that their saving faith tells them that they cannot be wrong and that their failures must all be the fault of the racist-sexist-homophobes on the far right.

Our modern educated ruling class can never be wrong. So they always find an enemy and blame them for the disaster issuing from the ruling-class policies.

Let's review the history of such disasters.

After the French Revolution with bread prices in the stratosphere the solution was to blame les aristos and guillotine them.

After the Bolshevik Revolution and failed Five Year Plans, the solution was to blame the kulaks for the lack of food, and "saboteurs and wreckers" for the failed industrial experiment, and then execute all the second-tier Soviet officials.

After the Maoist Revolution in 1949 Mao ran the Campaign to Suppress Counter-Revolutionaries in 1950, the Thought Reform Campaign against intellectuals and then the Loyalty and Honesty Campaign in 1951, the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957, then the failed Great Leap Forward and subsequent Great Chinese Famine, and finally the  Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of 1966-76, which started with the purging of top university officials in China -- usually with students beating them to death. After defeating all his enemies, Mao finally went to his well-deserved rest in 1976.

Hey, you DEI administrators! Suppose that Next President Hunter Biden needs to blame someone for the utter failure of U.S. education and siccs all the woke trans kiddies on you, for a change? Think it couldn't happen? I'm sure that all the university presidents in China in 1965 thought the same thing.

Okay. So now we know why Obama was bad and Biden is worse.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? No contest: it's Mao ZeDong.

It is Biden, Obama, and other leftists who continually seek to divide the country, not Trump

The Washington Post a few days ago highlighted a just-published book by its former columnist Thomas Edsall, now at the New York Times. The book’s publisher, Princeton University Press, writes:

Thomas Byrne Edsall fears that the country may be headed over a cliff, arguing that the election of Donald Trump was the most serious threat to the American political system since the Civil War. In this compelling and illuminating book, Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.

This analysis is a crock. Democrats have been seeking to divide the country by race, sex and class for decades. They have sought to destroy anyone who got their way. It started way before Trump.

Is American politics past the point of no return? In this compelling book, New York Times columnist and political reporter Thomas Byrne Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order.

Obama lied continuously to get Obamacare passed, not Trump. People who were against Obama’s policies on healthcare and other things were frequently called racists. “See! Right-wing intolerance, hatred and racism fuel this movement.”

Obama dictatorially ignored immigration laws when he implemented DACA, not Trump

Obama and Biden support lawless sanctuary cities and states, not Trump

Obama used the IRS to target political opponents, not Trump. He sought to silence people who disagreed on policies before elections.

Biden compared tea party members who wanted smaller government as domestic terrorists. Democrats frequently use this tactic whether it is people who want to make America great again, people who protest elections, or parents. 

Obama and Biden have used the Justice Department to spy on and target political opponents, not Trump.

Obama and Biden support soft on crime DA's, not Trump

Obama and Biden dictatorially use the EPA to destroy energy companies, not Trump

Biden is destroying women and girls right by making them share space and compete with biological men, not Trump

Biden appointed a woman to the Supreme Court who can't even define what a woman is, yet we are supposed to trust her to interpret laws. 

Biden supports allowing kids to be castrated, or have their breasts removed without their parents’ knowledge, not Trump. 

Biden ordered Catholic priests to stop showing up at Walter Reed Hospital, not Trump

The ESG movement is meant to divide and destroy companies that don't adhere to leftist policies. 

Biden and Obama support abortion on demand and withholding health care from newborn babies in botched abortions, not Trump

Biden and Obama oppose school choice for poor kids, not Trump.

Biden's justice Department targeted parents and Catholics, not Trump.

A probe of the National School Boards Association’s call for federal investigations of parents as domestic terrorists found the White House was involved in the drafting process that led to the controversial request.

Obama and Biden had slush funds at EPA, Justice Department and CFPB where they shook down companies and gave kickbacks to leftist groups, not Trump. 

Biden's justice Department doesn't care about groups that targeted cities or crisis pregnancy centers or illegally protested in front of Supreme court justices’ houses, not Trump's

The CDC, under Biden, coordinated with teachers’ unions to keep schools closed, which has caused massive permanent harm to children and families.

The American Federation of Teachers lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on, and even suggested language for, the federal agency’s school-reopening guidance released in February.

The media is a major participant in the destruction of American culture and politics. 

They participated in spreading the lies about Russian collusion and calling Trump an illegitimate president for years to divide and conquer the public. 

They still participate in covering up for the Biden family corruption, which is massive.

The media repeated all the misinformation from Fauci and the CDC while silencing those who disagreed. People who didn’t take the vaccine were fired and were said to want people to die. 

The media never called Democrats who have challenged elections “election deniers,” but calls any Republicans who challenged an election “deniers” to disparage them in the eyes of the public.

The media and other Democrats always play the race card to intentionally divide the country.

The examples are endless:

The “hands up,  don't shoot” narrative was a blatant lie to gin up racial hate and division against white cops. How many police have been injured and killed because of this intentional lie?

The media targeted white Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats. The media and other Democrats don't care who they destroy as they quest for power.

Democrats used the filibuster over 300 times to stop Trump's policies and appointments. But then:

Democrats working to dismantle the filibuster as a major impediment to their legislative agenda say the procedural maneuver is a threat to civil rights.

Trump was falsely blamed for a photo showing kids in cages to gin up racial hate towards him. The pictures were from the Obama, Biden years.

Biden and others continually lie about what Trump said at Charlottesville. Trump repeatedly denounced white supremacists and Nazi's but that wouldn’t divide the public so they lie

We keep hearing that Trump is an authoritarian, which is absolute BS. Trump tried to give the money and power to the people. Obama and Biden tried to amass power for themselves and the government.

Trump’s policies were lifting all boats. Minorities and the poor were seeing real wages rise substantially. The poverty rate hit a record low in December 2019 under Trump, not under the Great Society and anti-poverty programs that keep people poor and dependent on the government.

Think how much better Trump could have done if the media and other Democrats weren’t seeking to destroy him every day.

Obama and Biden refuse to enforce immigration laws Congress passed and dictatorially implemented DACA. 

Now Biden, without Congressional approval, has approved billions in health insurance benefits for illegals.

Biden wants to buy young people’s votes, so he is dictatorially trying to cancel student debt.

Biden and his EPA are dictatorially forcing people to buy expensive electric vehicles powered by flammable pollutants.

Biden is forcing schools to allow boys to compete with girls and forcing girls to share facilities with people with penises.

Conclusion: The media and other Democrats will seek to destroy whichever Republican is chosen as the presidential candidate, just as they have in the past. It doesn't matter if they are black, white, orange or if they are a woman. They are the party of personal destruction. Just watch what they do to Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and Clarence Thomas.

The Democrat Left Welcomes Anti-Semites, Cop Haters, and Terrorist Supporters

reported previously how the left wing of the Democrat Party, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Kamala Harris, came out in support of a disruptive display by three anti-Second Amendment lawmakers in the Tennessee Legislature. The Democrat Left's support for what it calls freedom of expression does not however extend to swimmer Riley Gaines, who was shouted down, terrorized, and allegedly assaulted  at San Francisco State University for saying that men like Lia Thomas should not be allowed to compete against women or use the women's locker room. The President of SFSU refused to condemn these credibly alleged violent crimes on her campus.

The Democrat Left and Black Lives Matter

I also reported that, after a hiatus that may have been due (my inference, not a statement of fact) to questions about Black Lives Matter Global Network's use of 501(c)(3) tax exempt money to campaign against Donald Trump in 2020,  ActBlue Charities has apparently renewed its relationship with BLM. The Democrat National Committee's website also linked to the BLM movement in 2020, and these sites linked in turn to extremist sites that called for boycotts against and even the destruction of Israel. This puts the Democrat party squarely into the camp that condones or even, in some cases, incites behavior that has no place in a civilized nation like the United States.

  1. BLM Glorifies a Jew-Killing Terrorist. Here is BLM Chicago honoring Rasmea Odeh and also supporting the so-called Palestinian right of return, whose agenda is to overwhelm and destroy Israel demographically. The national BLM organization, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, called not only for the destruction of Israel but also for support for Odeh. Odeh was convicted of murdering two Jews with a bomb and trying to murder emergency responders, but the Israelis disarmed the second bomb in time.
    • Note how, in contrast to thugs at San Francisco State University being permitted to shout down, threaten, and allegedly assault swimmer Riley Gaines, Israel's supporters and Republicans did not invade BLM Chicago's event to shout down, much less assault, a convicted murderess who is no better than church shooter Dylann Roof, supermarket shooter Payton Gendron, and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
  2. BLM Glorifies Cop-Killing Terrorists. BLM thanked Fidel Castro, whom BLM says should "rest in power," for giving refuge to Joanne Chesimard, whom BLM calls "Mama Assata Shakur." BLM has also referred to fugitive Charles Hill as "brother." Chesimard was convicted of executing a New Jersey State Trooper and Hill (allegedly until proven guilty) murdered a New Mexico law enforcement professional, menaced a flight attendant with a weapon, and hijacked an airplane to Cuba. BLM has also referred to Hill's alleged accomplices as "brothers."
    • Ann Dorn, the widow of murdered police captain David Dorn whose Black life obviously did not matter to the BLM thug who killed him, said of this movement. "If a foreign organization were tied to nationwide rioting in the U.S., we’d probably call it a terrorist organization." In addition, "A coalition of left-wing racial justice groups that includes the Black Lives Matter national organization has launched an initiative calling for the abolition of the U.S. prison system and the release of all prisoners, including multiple convicted cop killers."
    • If an organization (and even the Ku Klux Klan has yet to step over this line as far as I know) talked about "brothers" Dylann Roof and Payton Gendron, it would be obvious that that organization agrees that people should be murdered for praying or shopping while Black. When BLM supports Rasmea Odeh, calls Joanne Chesimard "Mama Assata," refers to Charles Hill and his alleged accomplices as "brothers," and demands the release of convicted cop killers, we can opine reasonably that BLM condones similarly the murder of Jews and law enforcement professionals—and the Democrat party as represented by ActBlue Charities has renewed its support of BLM.
  3. BLM Glorifies Fidel Castro. Did I mention that BLM said Fidel Castro should rest in power, and also that Barack Obama offered condolences for Castro's death? Here is what BLM is praising and on what Obama is morally ambivalent: "Over six decades, millions of Cubans were forced to flee their own country, and those accused of opposing the regime were routinely jailed and even killed. …And one thing is clear, history will not absolve Fidel Castro; it will remember him as an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people." This, American voters, is what Black Lives Matter supports—and the Democrat Left supports Black Lives Matter.
  4. BLM Meets the Definition of an Anti-Semitic Hate Group. Disagreement with the government of Israel, which the Israelis themselves do as shown very recently, is not anti-Semitic. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), and even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League (ADL), however, both define denial of the right of Israel to exist (or, in IHRA's case, denial of the right of the Jewish people to self-determination) as anti-Semitic. BLM, as represented by Patrisse Cullors, rather than some rank and file loose cannon, called for the dismantling of Israel. ADL has also defined the BDS movement as anti-Semitic and BLM supports BDS.
    • The Zachor Legal Institute has meanwhile alleged BLM ties with "domestic terror affiliates" of foreign terrorist organizations and the Zionist Organization of America has more information on BLM's anti-Semitic activities.
  5. BLM Encourages Looting. Here's a BLM organizer (again, not some rank and file loose cannon) who depicts looting as "reparations." Then BLM cries "racism" when those who act on this incitement, including Caucasian "allies," get life-ruining felony records or even get shot when theft escalates to robbery, as it can easily do if the looters threaten the property owners with violence, as Michael Brown did prior to his fatal encounter with a police officer.

Who Supports Black Lives Matter?

Now let's look at who supports this organization, which supports in turn cop killers, Jew killers, vandals, rioters, looters, and a dictator who murdered countless Cubans.

  • Joe Biden's team met with BLM's leaders in 2021, when this behavior by BLM was well known. Even though BLM was not happy with the outcome, Biden's representatives should not have associated with them.
  • Kamala Harris praised the "brilliance" of Black Lives Matter.
  • Cornell's expensive Law School, as represented by then-Dean Eduardo Peñalver, went on record as supporting BLM under color of "racial justice." Cornell's President and Trustees have yet to take corrective action for this use of a Cornell web page to disparage a member of its faculty and put the school into the camp of something that meets the ADL and IHRA definitions of an anti-Semitic hate group. State University of New York Buffalo's Law School in-state tuition is roughly a third of Cornell's and you'll probably learn more law, rather than leftist ideology, there as well.
  • Hardin-Simmons University, as represented by President Eric Bruntmyer, also lined up with BLM.
  • Solid Blue New York City renamed a street for Black Lives Matter.

Democrat Left-infested unions like the Seattle Education Association and PSC-CUNY have joined the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement so it is clear that Jews are not welcome in these unions. Nor do law enforcement professionals, Cuban-Americans, or property owners of all races who don't want their cars, homes, and stores wrecked in BLM loot-a-thons have a home in today's Democrat party. Use your head and vote Red in 2024.

Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history, and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. He or she is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.\

Joe Biden in Ireland: ‘I’m Proud of’ Hunter

President Joe Biden said during his trip to Ireland that he is “proud” of his son Hunter and sister Valerie Biden Owens — both of whom are key players in the family influence peddling operation currently under multiple investigations.

I’m here with my sister, Valerie, and my younger son, Hunter Biden,” Biden said. “Stand up, guys. I’m proud of you.”

A video shows Hunter and Valerie turning around to wave at the slowly applauding crowd:

Joe Biden has also referred to Hunter as “smartest guy I know.” Hunter is a practicing lawyerartist, and former lobbyist.

Both Valerie and Hunter Biden are key associates in Biden’s international business schemes. While much has been reported on Hunter, Valerie is a lesser-known character. Yet both have worked in the family enterprise, as Breitbart News reported.

Valerie is chair of the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware. The institution received more than $6.7 million in anonymous donations from China, including direct funding from the Chinese government — all after Joe Biden set up a program under his name.

Email exchanges between Valerie, Hunter, and business associates show the Biden family planned to cash in on the family name at the university’s Biden Institute, Breitbart News reported in March. The emails also reveal the business partners discussing ways to carefully distance Joe from financial documents outlining the deal.

This is not the first time Joe Biden has brought family members abroad. In particular, Hunter  took 411 trips across 29 countries between 2009 and the middle of 2014, according to Secret Service travel records obtained by Judicial Watch.

One of those trips was to Beijing, China, in 2013. Ten days after the visit to China, Hunter secured a ten percent interest in BHR Partners, a Chinese state-backed investment fund.

Hunter has divested his ten percent interest in the fund, his lawyer claimed in November 2021. The business license for Hunter’s company, founded in Washington, DC, which holds the ten percent stake in BHR Partners, Skaneateles LLC, was revoked upon dissolution in September 2021, many months after Joe Biden assumed office.

It is unclear who purchased the ten percent stake or where Hunter’s ten percent share was transferred. Chinese records show Skaneateles still owns ten percent in BHR Partners.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced Wednesday he will provide an official update in the coming weeks on the Biden family business investigation upon completion of reviewing the family’s suspicious activity reports (SARs) held at the Treasury Department.

Over the years, U.S. banks have flagged over 150 SARs from Hunter and James Biden that included “large” amounts of money flagged for further review. SARs “often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud,” according to a 2020 Senate report.

“Over the past 2 weeks, @GOPoversight has combed through Biden family bank records & suspicious activity reports filed against Hunter Biden. We also continue to gather info from whistleblowers,” Comer posted on Twitter. “It doesn’t look good for @POTUS. I will update the American people soon.”

Speaking on Fox News, Comer said the SARs have been “valuable” to his probe. Comer is investigating the Biden family for nine violations, including wire fraud and money laundering.

“We are probably going to have a press conference within the next two week to update the American people on what all we found,” Comer said. “It’s very concerning”:

In March, Comer revealed from the SARs that the Biden family received a collective $1.3 million cut in 2017 from a Biden family business associate, who was sent a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC China Energy Co. Hunter has confirmed the $1.3 million CEFC payout.

Comer believes the Biden family members received the $1.3 million payout in return for favors from Joe Biden.

“That’s not true,” Joe Biden denied the existence of the payout.

The Biden family had previously negotiated a deal with CEFC from which Joe Biden (Big Guy) would receive a ten percent equity stake in the joint venture with Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski. In 2017, Hunter earned a $1 million legal retainer from the company’s chairman, Ye Jianming. Hunter also received a large diamond from Ye worth an estimated $80,000 in February 2017.

Comer has additionally uncovered that a top Biden family business associate received $179,836.86 on November 5, 2015, while Joe Biden was vice president, a previously unreported sum. Although the amount appears to be insignificant to the $31 million received by the business during Joe Biden’s reign as vice president, the new finding builds upon the previous reporting in 2022 by Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.

The SARs are also likely to provide a money trail from Hunter and James Biden to a Ukrainian energy company. In April 2014, Hunter joined the board of Burisma, just two years before Joe Biden stated he forced the firing of prosecutor Viktor Shokin investigating Burisma. Despite Hunter’s lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, he was paid $83,000 per month by the energy company or $1 million per year — just weeks after his father was announced “point person” on U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine.

Comer’s investigation has also encompassed subpoenaing four major U.S. banks and one individual. The subpoenaed banks are Bank of AmericaCathay Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and HSBC USA N.A.

The subpoenaed individual is the Biden family’s CEFC partner, Mervyn Yan. As a former CEFC official, Yan was an integral member of the Chinese energy conglomerate with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Ex-White House Aide: FBI Ignored Joe Biden’s Role in Ukraine Business Dealings

The FBI has ignored President Joe Biden’s role in the family’s foreign influence-peddling “conspiracy” in Ukraine, according to former Obama White House stenographer Mike McCormick.

McCormick, who told the New York Post he has relevant information implicating Joe Biden in the family’s business affairs in Ukraine, submitted a tip to the FBI in February.

McCormick said he never heard back from the FBI — the same law enforcement agency which allegedly “shut down” the investigation into Hunter’s abandoned “Laptop from Hell.”

“Joe Biden committed crimes in Ukraine in a conspiracy with [current national security adviser] Jake Sullivan,” McCormick told the Post. “I’m a witness to that happening.”

According to McCormick, Biden’s former national security aide, Sullivan, told reporters on April 21, 2014, on Air Force Two as an anonymous “senior administration official” that the United States intended to help Ukraine’s natural gas industry.

Unknown to the public at the time, Hunter Biden was already a board member of Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company. Hunter’s position on the board was not disclosed by the company until May 12, 2014, nearly a month after Sullivan’s statement to reporters.

The US would specifically offer “technical assistance relating to a regulatory framework, and also the technology that would be required to extract unconventional gas resources; and Ukraine has meaningful reserves of unconventional gas according to the latest estimates,” McCormick recounted Sullivan’s statement to reporters on the flight.

In December 2014, Congress approved a $50 million package for Ukraine’s energy sector, including the natural gas industry. The package was supported by the Obama administration. Joe Biden served as the “point person” on U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine during the Obama administration. 

McCormick said he wants to testify before the federal grand jury in Delaware that is investigating Hunter for tax and gun violations.

“I’ll go under oath before anyone who needs to hear the truth about Joe Biden’s criminal activities,” he said.

Hunter joined the board in April 2014, two years before Joe Biden stated he forced the firing of Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma. Despite Hunter’s lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, he was paid $83,000 per month by the energy company, or $1 million per year — just weeks after his father was announced “point person” on U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine.

In 2015, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. In 2017, Hunter’s salary was cut in half when Joe Biden left the White House as then-Vice President, having himself visited Ukraine six times in seven years.

Joe Biden was aware of his son’s Ukrainian business dealings despite claims he never spoke to Hunter about the family business — reportedly meeting one of Hunter’s partners at Burisma, Vadym Pozharskyi.

In 2015, then-Vice President Biden approved an official statement about Hunter’s Burisma board position, emails retrieved by America First Legal from the National Archives show.

“VP signed off on this — will give this quote to reporters in my name shortly,” then Vice-President Joe Biden’s Communications Director Kate Bedingfield told Hunter’s business partner Eric Schwerin.

An additional trove reveals Bedingfield reassured Schwerin in 2015 that a damaging story from Bloomberg reporter Margaret Talev about the family’s business dealings in Ukraine would be quashed unless “editors hold a gun to her head.”

A third trove released from the Archives showed Hunter advised the Office of Vice President Biden in 2014 on how to handle media inquiries regarding his position on the board of Burisma, a potential violation of federal law due to Hunter failing to register as a foreign agent.
