Hunter Biden and ex-wife Kathleen Buhle's divorce attorneys were aware of 'Romania deal' payments

Lawyers discussed how funds from 'Romania deal' would be divided during divorce

Divorce lawyers for Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle were aware of money hitting Hunter’s bank account from a "Romania deal," emails show, appearing to contradict Buhle's previous claims she had her "head buried in the sand" when it came to Hunter’s finances.

During a press conference Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Buhle was one of several Biden family members, including Hallie Biden, who received foreign money and that Hunter received over $1 million from Romania.

According to 2016 and 2017 emails reviewed by Fox News Digital from Hunter's abandoned laptop, divorce lawyers for Hunter and Buhle were aware of payments from a "Romania deal" and discussed how it should be divided among the two parties.

Rebekah Sullivan, who was representing Buhle during the divorce proceedings, appeared frustrated in a Dec. 15, 2016, email to Sarah Mancinelli, Hunter’s lawyer.

"On the disclosures, help me understand why it is taking so long to get this basic information. Hunter's office confirmed to Kathleen a deposit of more than $120,000 into Hunter's TD account, as funds from the ‘Romania deal,'" Sullivan wrote.

"There is no reason to continue to delay providing us the TD account statements and all expenses since the end of the last statement," Sullivan added. "It is more than fair to ask for Hunter immediately to provide Kathleen with half of the $120,000, and immediate disclosure with respect to his TD account."

It seems the divorce lawyers are accessories.

Do divorce lawyers have any legal culpability in a situation like this? Is it their job to question what sort of business Arrangements Hunter had with other countries? Or legally do they just have to note that the money was considered income that is part of the marital property?

It’s interesting to do comparative business model analysis on the Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens.

The Clintons used pre-sold book royalties and the very clever charitable Clinton Foundation.

The Obamas had Mooch’s book (which was much more readable than Hillary’s, BTW), speaking tours, NFLX endorsements, etc.

The Bidens ran a straight out financial operation, selling their influence for cash payments to a web of financial companies. Hunter was the bagman, haha.

Here we have the Dems saying it doesn’t matter, because it was Hunter’s deal anyway, not Joe’s, while at the same time the divorce lawyers are acknowledging it and haggling over it as if it were a routine marital asset.

It would be hard to make all this up.

I’m sure the IRS isn’t paying attention to these hearings.

According to the MSF, that's irrelevant, misleading, and symbolic. Ivanka got cosmetics licenses in China, DJT got hotel fees for various government stays, etc, etc.
