GAMER LAWYERS JOE AND HUNTER BIDEN - THE FAMILY THAT STEALS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER - 'Always Available for You': Hunter Biden and His Associates Had Direct Contact With Joe Biden's Staff, Emails Show
THE PARASITIC LAWYER CLASS
THEY LIE, THEY CHEAT, THEY STEAL AND THEY KNOW THEY'LL GET AWAY WITH IT!
JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes. In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

'Always Available for You': Hunter Biden and His Associates Had Direct Contact With Joe Biden's Staff, Emails Show

Hunter Biden’s business partners had considerable influence in the office of then-vice president Joe Biden, going so far as arranging invitations to state functions, a new trove of emails released by the National Archives on Wednesday shows.
The emails, which were released to America First Legal as part of a lawsuit, raise questions about President Joe Biden’s repeated denials that he had no knowledge of his son’s overseas business dealings. In at least one instance, Hunter Biden’s former business partner Eric Schwerin initiated contact with the vice president’s top aides to get an associate into a 2010 State Department lunch with senior Chinese Communist Party officials. Other emails suggest Hunter Biden received confidential information from the vice president’s office about a 2010 state trip to Africa.
The emails come as Republican lawmakers scrutinize a host of the Biden family’s foreign business dealings. Hunter Biden lobbied the State Department on behalf of a corrupt Romanian official who paid the Biden family $1 million while his father was vice president, the Washington Free Beacon reported. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) earlier this month subpoenaed FBI director Christopher Wray for documents that allegedly detail "a bribery scheme involving a foreign national and Joe Biden when he served as vice president."
The National Archives heavily redacted the emails it provided to America First Legal, citing executive privilege. But emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop shed more light on the redacted messages. One of the redacted emails released from the National Archive, for example, reveals that Schwerin reached out to Joe Biden’s then-executive assistant Michele Smith in a message titled "China Lunch" on Nov. 19, 2010. The Archives redacted the body of the email, which Hunter Biden was copied on, and claimed its release would "disclose confidential advice between the president and his advisors, or between such advisors."
But an unredacted version of the same email located on Hunter Biden’s hard drive shows that Schwerin informed Smith that Hunter Biden wanted to invite Greg Penner, a Walmart board member, to an upcoming State Department luncheon honoring then-Chinese president Hu Jintao.
The email came in response to a Nov. 18 email in which Schwerin informed Hunter Biden that the vice president needed help finding people who fit into the mold of a "business leader," "elected official," or "think tank" type to invite to the event. Joe Biden and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ultimately honored Hu with a State Department luncheon on Jan. 19, 2011. It is not clear if Hunter Biden, Schwerin, or Penner attended the event.
America First Legal says the emails show that "Biden family business was intertwined with the official business of the United States."
"These records–which are only a small portion of the actual records that the National Archives possess–demonstrate for the American people, yet again, continued evidence of influence peddling and personal enrichment by the Biden family," America First Legal vice president Gene Hamilton said in a statement. "The full extent has yet to be seen, but with each release, we are painting a fuller picture for the American people of the extent to which the Biden family business was intertwined with the official business of the United States."
Another set of messages obtained by the conservative legal group show that Hunter Biden reached out to his father’s then-deputy chief of staff, Alan Hoffman, on June 3, 2010, asking to call him to "talk about africa."
"Always available for you," Hoffman responded seconds later.
Later that day, Hunter Biden sent an email to Jill Biden adviser Anthony Bernal titled "Nairobi ideas," and another message to Joe Biden’s executive assistant, Nancy Orloff, titled "Summary Africa." The National Archives redacted the contents of both emails. Messages on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop from the same day, however, show Joe Biden staffers discussing the vice president’s schedule for an upcoming trip to Nairobi, Kenya, from June 7 through June 10, 2010.
Hunter Biden has a long track record of questionable African business deals. House Republicans in January launched an investigation into Hunter Biden’s role in the 2016 sale of a Congolese mine to a Chinese conglomerate, which helped Beijing gain control over the global cobalt supply. Hunter Biden also tried to help a Chinese energy executive purchase an oil field in Ghana, even after he was warned that the executive’s company was linked to countries sanctioned by the United States.
Though the emails show that Hunter enjoyed extensive access to his father’s staff, they also reveal that he was not always welcome on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Hunter Biden complained in an April 19, 2010, email to Orloff that his ex-wife, Kathleen Biden, and his children were asked to leave the White House "at least 5 times" for unexplained reasons, one email shows.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Comer: FBI Confirmed Existence of Document That Alleges Joe Biden Bribery Scheme

The FBI has confirmed the existence of a document that accuses Joe Biden of taking foreign bribes as vice president, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Wednesday.
According to Comer, FBI director Christopher Wray offered in a phone call Wednesday to allow lawmakers to view the potentially explosive document at FBI headquarters, but refused to provide a physical copy to the House Oversight panel. The document, known as an FD-1023, allegedly claims that a foreign national bribed Biden for a favorable policy decision when he was vice president. Republicans have sought the FD-1023 as part of their investigation into President Biden and his son’s business dealings.
Comer rejected Wray’s offer in a statement and said he would move forward with contempt proceedings against the FBI chief if the FD-1023 was not provided to the Oversight Committee. "Anything short of producing these documents to @GOPoversight is not in compliance with my subpoena," he said.
Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) revealed earlier this month that an FBI whistleblower told lawmakers about the existence of the FD-1023, a type of document which the FBI uses to record interviews with confidential sources. Details of the allegation are unclear, and Republicans have acknowledged that they do not know whether the claims from the FBI source are accurate. Republicans, however, have questioned whether the FBI fully investigated the alleged bribery.
The FBI employee who contacted lawmakers is the latest in a string of government whistleblowers to come forward with evidence about the Bidens. Two IRS employees have accused the Justice Department of stonewalling an investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes. Several of Hunter Biden's former associates, meanwhile, have provided the FBI and Congress with information about the first son’s foreign business dealings.
Joe Biden, who couldn't even get President Obama's endorsement during the primaries, now has word that Obama may well use him as his marionette stooge for what's in fact a third Obama term.
He's not even trying to hide it.
Under Pressure To Reveal Biden Bribery Document, FBI Makes 'Extraordinary' Offer of Information
Facing a contempt of Congress charge, FBI director Christopher Wray on Tuesday offered "extraordinary" information to the House Oversight Committee about a bribery allegation against President Joe Biden.
Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) announced Tuesday that he would hold Wray in contempt, saying that Wray refused to turn over documents connecting Biden to a "bribery scheme." In response, the FBI said it had "identified additional information that we are prepared to offer the committee as an extraordinary accommodation," according to a letter obtained by Politico.
Comer's committee is doing an extensive probe into the finances of Biden and his family. While most of the investigation has focused on Biden's son, Hunter Biden, the president himself has come under the spotlight in recent weeks. Wray missed Comer's previous deadline for the documents, which allegedly detail "a bribery scheme involving a foreign national and Joe Biden when he served as vice president," the Washington Free Beaconreported.
A separate probe by the IRS is also investigating Hunter Biden. Two whistleblowers have come forward alleging that the agency is giving the president's son "preferential treatment" in that case.
Comer learned of the FBI documents from a whistleblower, whom he described as "highly credible." That person has since gone "missing," Comer said this month.
The committee chairman is expected to talk with Wray on Wednesday.
