When Hunter Biden took that $3.5 million in money transfers from Yelena Baturina, Russia's richest woman, the media lapsed into sudden incuriosity, very bizarre, given that it spent four years yelling about President Trump and his supposed "Russian collusion."
Here was real Russian collusion and the blue-checks went blue-screen. Miranda Devine at the New York Post has some excellent observations on that here.
The corruption watchers in the U.S. government, though, didn't -- bells and alarms went off -- which is why a record of this activity, obtainable by the Senate in its damning interim report, is there at all. According to the New York Post:
Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the richest woman in Russia and the widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow, Senate Republicans revealed in their report on the younger Biden’s work in Ukraine.

Baturina is referenced in the 87-page report, which was released Wednesday, addressing her payment to Biden’s investment firm in early 2014.
“Baturina became Russia’s only female billionaire when her plastics company, Inteko, received a series of Moscow municipal contracts while her husband was mayor,” it said in providing background on the businesswoman.
Was this just any Russian oligarch that young Hunter Biden with his dad as vice president, took the big payment from?
Nope, it was a person associated with political corruption and lots of pocket-lining. Take a gander at who her now-late husband was:
In 2010. the Guardian reported this:
The US ambassador to Russia claimed that Moscow's veteran mayor Yuri Luzhkov sat on top of a "pyramid of corruption" involving the Kremlin, Russia's police force, its security service, political parties and crime groups.

she is a sad, depressed suicide victim... soon to be.
Remember, he claimed he was broke in his child care case. Perjury?
Yelena Nikolayevna Baturina born 8 March 1963 is a Russian billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist, based in London, and was married to Yury Luzhkov, mayor of Moscow (from 1992 to 2010), until his death in 2019.
She founded (1991) and for two decades served as president of Inteco, an investment and construction company.[3] Her assets are now invested in Baturina’s Investment Group. The Group’s commercial activities cover a hotel chain[2] (in Ireland, the Czech Republic and Russia), a membrane construction and engineering enterprise (Germany), a renewable energy project (Greece, Cyprus and Italy), a development project (Cyprus) and investments in a number of real estate investment funds focused on residential and commercial construction and development in Europe and the US.
Baturina is the founder of the Be Open foundation. According to Forbes, with a fortune of $1.2 billion, she remains the richest woman in Russia.

Wait, what? Someone is rich in Russia? Butt, butt, butt......
I had a case of Russian Collusion yesterday, found a 31 year old Russian girl on line, just got here 5 months ago from Moscow. we met and it was terrific.
I think there is a much larger issue. Hunter biden may very well have been broke.
Although he received the money, he passed it on. Hunter was in actuality a money launderer. He was the pipe through money was passed to corporations that were the property of corrupt left wingers.
Hunter was the designated cutout for the funds flow. Think of a large pipe with lots of valves. The money was allowed to flow into the Hunter pipe and then he would open the proper valve to allow it to flow into the account of an offshore corporation belonging to the corrupt democrat for which the money was intended
Burisima was the Ukranian pipe
Doing a Google image search...
For someone worth so much... She does not look like a happy woman.
She just laundered it for the Russian gummit for some Barak favor.
3, 2, 1... “Trump set him up!”
Joe Hiden Biden - Dad of the Year - for setting up his own kid, to be the middle $$$ man. Whatta guy.
Five facts on Yelena Baturina:
1. She’s the Russian female version of Donald Trump, in every single detail. I should note....she golfs as well.
2. Self-made, highly educated in business, and every penny she made...came from her efforts, insider knowledge, and bit of corruption around the corners (how business is done in Moscow).
3. She is easily worth 1-billion dollars in 2019. Most of the assets is property-related, hotels, resorts (very similar in nature to Trump in terms of real estate holdings).
4. Widow. Her husband was mayor of Moscow for a while and probably helped on insider info. He eventually got onto the corruption list of Putins, but avoided trouble. He died last year (age 83). Wife was much younger.
5. Whatever she paid Hunter....was ‘pennies’ and probably a marker-card for a future favor from the Biden empire.
If you had to go and pick someone (age 57) in Russia who really behaves and acts like Trump...she’s it. Calculating every move...designing projects for a successful conclusion....everything she does, has an end-game to it.
Sounds like a bribery, payoff of some kind. Money laundering? Diversion of US aid $$? Was Obama somehow in on receiving stolen US taxpayers loot? Does anyone think Chrissie Wallace will bring up the topic of Ukraine at the debate? If not Trump should let it rip loud and clear.
The Senate Report stated the FBi thwarted their Investigation and they would not provide the information requested.
Something no one wants to report.
.
She runs a business the way Hillary Clinton runs a charity.
Did Hunter sleep with her?
According to the report, Hunter Biden received this money from Baturina in 2014. It would be interesting to follow up and see if it was “invested” in any campaigns or foundations.
“Did Hunter sleep with her?”
I’m guessing that he “slept” with every female he met — and maybe some others, too. If there was money to be had, he screwed her/him. JMO
Based on her ‘wit’, she wouldn’t touch Hunter with a ten-foot stick. Some kind of ‘marker’ for the money laid out to Hunter...for a future favor down the line. I think if we dug back enough...you’d find that she gave some funds to the Clinton Foundation as well. There’s probably three or four Senators who may not grasp her lobbyists or their intent, but probably get money from her people for campaign funds.
We live in a bizzarro world. This is direct pay-for-play access to the Vice President of the United States and its completely whitewashed by the MSM. The same MSM covered up all the Clinton corruption, The Clinton Foundation corruption, the FBI/DOJ corruption, the Soros sedition, etc, etc. If not for President Trump the US would already be a one-party state and the fundamental transformation into a Marxist hell-hole would be well on its way. These traitors will not accept a re-elected President Trump and things are going to get a lot more nasty before they get better.
