Emails obtained by FBI detail how Hunter Biden landed Ukrainian gas gig in 2014 https://justthenews.com/accoun...-hunter-biden-landed In the weeks before he landed a deal with a Ukrainian gas company in 2014, Hunter Biden strategized with his business partner on how to leverage an upcoming official trip to Kiev by his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to clinch the lucrative arrangement, according to emails obtained a year ago by the FBI. The communications reviewed by Just the News show that the younger Biden referred to his father as "my guy" and took credit for "adding value" because the vice president made comments to Ukrainian leaders about natural gas production that might benefit his new client. The memos also show how Hunter Biden pressed to get Burisma Holdings to sign some sort of consulting deal with him and his business partner Devon Archer before the U.S. vice president visited Ukraine on April 21-22, 2014. "The contract should begin now — not after the upcoming visit of my guy," Hunter Biden wrote Archer in a detailed strategy email on April 13, 2014, a week before his father's high-profile visit. The memo shows Hunter Biden already knew he was going to be appointed to Burisma's board along with Archer in mid-April 2014 — a month before it was announced — and that he also wanted Burisma to pay an additional consulting fee to him or his law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, referred to in the emails as "BSF." The deal with Burisma "should include a retainer in the range of 25k p/m w/ additional fees where appropriate for more in depth work to go to BSF for our protection," Hunter Biden wrote. "Complete separate from our respective deals re board participation." File BidenArcher4-13-14.pdf Records previously obtained by Just the News show Burisma paid Boies Schiller Flexner a $250,000 retainer on July 5, 2014 as well as more than $3 million between 2014 and 2016 to a firm connected to Archer and Hunter Biden called Rosemont Seneca Bohais. The emails were provided to the FBI last December as part of a laptop hard drive believed to belong to Hunter Biden that had been left at a repair shop in Delaware. The shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, turned over a copy of the hard drive to agents under a federal grand jury subpoena. Mac Isaac's lawyer, Brian Della Rocca, confirmed to Just the News on Tuesday that the emails detailing Hunter Biden's efforts to land the Burisma deal in 2014 were on the hard drive turned over to the FBI. Hunter Biden confirmed Dec. 9 that he is under criminal investigation by the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware for his "tax affairs," but he and his father have insisted he did nothing wrong. Joe Biden on Tuesday doubled down on his earlier claims that information on the laptop was "Russian disinformation" designed to impugn his family. But the nation's top spy, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, has declared there is no evidence the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. The FBI has not disputed that assertion and said it had nothing to add to Ratcliffe's assessment. A senior law enforcement official told Just the News that the FBI is treating the laptop as evidence and in some cases has corroborated information on it from other sources, including cooperating witnesses and other data repositories. George Mesires, one of Hunter Biden's attorneys, did not respond to an email seeking comment on Tuesday. If corroborated by the FBI, the emails would provide the most direct evidence to date of how Hunter Biden traded on his father's name to score business with a Ukrainian company run by an oligarch who was under criminal investigation at the time. The emails provide no indication that Joe Biden was aware of what his son was doing in Ukraine. In the April 13, 2014 email to Archer, Hunter Biden said that he and his partner should portray Joe Biden's visit to Ukraine as part of their consulting deliverables and to "ask for a long term agreement and across the board participation" in Burisma's business. Joe Biden's trip to Ukraine had been announced just a day earlier. "The announcement of my guys upcoming travels should be characterized as part of our advice and thinking – but what he will say and do is out of our hands," the email stated. "In other words, it could be a really good thing or it could end up creating too great an expectation. We need to temper expectations regarding that visit." Two days after the email, Archer checked into the Obama White House to meet with Vice President Biden, Secret Service entry logs show. After Joe Biden made the first day of his high-profile visit to Ukraine on April 22, 2014 as the Obama administration's new point person for the region, Hunter Biden reported in a new email that his father had made comments urging Ukraine to expand its natural gas business while visiting Kiev. The son recommended he and his partner take credit with Burisma for getting the comments in the vice president's speech to Ukrainian legislators. "Wow. We need to make sure this rag tag temporary Government in the Ukraine understands the value of Burisma to its very existence," Archer wrote Hunter Biden after the vice president's comments were forwarded to him. Hunter Biden wrote back: "You should send to Vadim – makes it look like we are adding value." Vadim is an apparent reference to Vadim Pozharskyi, an executive at Burisma who dealt directly with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer. Other emails made public last fall suggest Pozharskyi once had a brief meeting with Joe Biden arranged by Hunter Biden. The emails show Hunter Biden worked with Pozharskyi on polishing a press release a month later in mid-May 2014 to announce his role on the Burisma board. It also shows that Hunter Biden was cognizant of the legal controversies surrounding the company and its owner Mykola Zlochevsky and planned to have his team at Boies Schiller reach out to U.S. officials in his father's administration to help Burisma become essential to Ukraine's push to free itself from Russian natural gas, which Vladimir Putin used as a geopolitical weapon. "We can actually be of real value here,” he wrote. "Developing relationships, bringing US expertise to the company, supplying strategic advice on politics and geopolitical risk assessment. "BSF can actually have direct discussions at state, energy and NSC. They can devise a media plan and arrange for legal protections and mitigate US domestic negative press regarding the current leadership if need be." The emails also state Hunter Biden was acutely aware that lobbying on behalf of a foreign company seeking U.S. assistance might trigger requirements under the Foreign Agent Registration Act and urged care that his team stay within the law. Burisma officials "need to know in no uncertain terms that we will not and cannot intervene directly with domestic policy makers, and that we need to abide by FARA and any other US laws in the strictest sense across the board," Hunter Biden wrote. The emails also show Hunter Biden hoped to leverage his nascent contacts in Communist China and other countries to possibly create energy deals for Burisma. "This could be the break we have been waiting for if they really are smart enough to understand our long term value," he wrote. "If they are looking to just use us until the storm passes then we risked far too much for far too little. We could be invaluable in expanding their operations outside Uk [sic] by promoting their US partnerships and expertise - whether that's China, Mexico, other parts of the Black Sea, Poland." While linking China and Ukraine, Hunter Biden also expressed some frustrations that contacts he had developed in the People's Republic of China had not yet materialized into direct revenue for himself or his company. The son joined the vice president on Air Force Two for a trip to Beijing in December 2013. "We had assurances that the PRC money would come first, and we would build on that. Right now I don't see that happening," Hunter Biden wrote in mid-April 2014. "If they want us in Beijing once a month and pitching this outside PRC we should be getting paid in advance just like every other team member that's [sic] getting a salary." _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Clueless- Your adult, crackhead, failure of a son with no marketable skills is making $85,000 a month for doing nothing. And you don't notice or ask. Yet you're viewed as qualified to make decisions on complex, long range issues like the economy, environmental policy and international relations. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

https://saraacarter.com/bidens...ter-dui-guilty-plea/ Biden’s Niece Dodges Jail Time After DUI Guilty Plea Caroline Biden has avoided jail for the third time after she recently pleaded guilty to an August 2019 DUI incident. The President-elect’s niece crashed her car into a tree last summer and was sentenced to between 20 days and six months of “confinement” following her December 3 hearing, as reported by the New York Post. The sentence was lessened to five or more months of probation and 20 days of rehab after she reached a plea deal with the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania district judge. She will also face a fine of less than $2,000. “She will be on probation,” said Director of Communications for Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office Kate Delano to the New York Post. “Should she then violate or break the law at any time, then she will be on the hook for the rest of the sentence.” The Post reports that Biden’s car had carisoprodol and lorazepam inside and a blood test found both drugs, as well as others, in her body at the time of the car accident. The plea deal is the third time Caroline Biden will avoid prison after allegedly committing a crime. In 2013, she was arrested for hitting a police officer after a fight with her roommate over rent payments. She was let off, agreeing to attend anger management classes, according to the reports. Four years later, Caroline Biden had another run-in with the law after spending over $110,000 on a stolen credit card . A felony charge was dropped, and instead, she plead to a lesser charge of petty larceny and…she avoided jail time. | |||

20 days of rehab. That is less than your average NFL player.LOL With her apparent benzo addiction we are talking 90 days residential minimum. Must know the Judge. This impulsivity does not go away without profressional treatment. She just might end up dead next time. Soma and benzos. Bet she does opiates too. | |||

The value of the card, the item she physically stole, is how a plea deal could be made. Not saying it is right, and not saying it dismisses the $110,000 theft by conversion. But if she were not charged for that, she would not be tried for that. If she were charged for the theft of the card, she could be able to plea it to petty theft for the value of the plastic. What, maybe $0.oo2 ? Hate the player, not the game. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

I hope I never have to be accountable for the actions of one of my nieces or nephews. Yes, she may have been allowed to skate because of her last name, but that’s not Pedo Joe’s fault unless there is some evidence demonstrating his involvement. If there is any fault, it’s of the people making the decisions about her cases. And as being discussed in the “debt to society” thread, avoiding proper punishment for crimes these days is hardly limited to people with famous last names. CB’s antics might have been worthy of a separate thread for those who are fascinated by such things, but I like to come to this one to learn things about its actual subject, Pedo Joe, not some distant relative. Anything new to report about him? ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

Innocent until proven guilty rather than guilty until proven innocent. On the other hand, from my lawyer friends, it it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, it's probably a duck. Maybe dishonesty is part of the Biden culture.

^^^^^^^ Addiction here for sure. Runs in families just like criminality. Parents and family members lead by example. If we are speaking about ONE family member that is one thing, more than one is a trend. | |||

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...ed-event-reimagined/ President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural celebration will be considerably smaller as organizers have canceled the parade that traditionally takes place after the ceremony. In a U.S. Army email obtained by Jon Nicosia, participants were informed the event will no longer be happening. “The Inaugural Parade has been canceled,” it read. “The Active, National Guard, Reserve, and Academy marching requirements have been deleted and are no longer needed.” The information from the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) was called “definitive guidance,” according to the email. The development is the latest indication that Biden will be sworn in in a low-key way, assuming the Republicans’ expected attempts this week to challenge electors proves unsuccessful. | |||
