President Biden and his allies raked in campaign cash from a top Russia lobbyist in 2020, just months before his administration’s decision to scrap sanctions on a controversial firm building a Russian oil pipeline to Germany.
Richard Burt, a managing partner at McLarty Associates and a former U.S. ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, ponied up $4,000 for Joe Biden in October 2020 and dropped another $10,000 in the lefty-aligned political action committee Unite The County in March 2020, FEC records show.
In addition to violating Biden’s own campaign pledge not to take lobbyist cash, the money from Burt is particularly noteworthy as he is currently directly engaged in lobbying activities for Nord Stream 2 AG.
"When Richard Burt donated to Biden Victory Fund, he failed to acknowledge that he was a registered foreign agent and was therefore ineligible to contribute," a Democratic National Committee spokesman told The Post. "Because Burt also listed a different employer than on his [Foreign Agents Registration Act] registration, he was not flagged during our vetting process."

I wonder if the large donation was March 2021, not March 2020?
Unite the County makes no sensr- do they mean Unite the Country?
Unite the Country superPAC links to Azerbaijan
The Head Of Joe Biden’s New Super PAC Is A Foreign Government Agent
Biden’s new PAC is being run by a registered foreign agent for Azerbaijan.
OCTOBER 29, 2019 By Sean Davis
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has a brand new Super PAC in his corner, and it’s being run by a registered foreign agent for the government of Azerbaijan. Larry Rasky, a lobbyist who previously worked as a top campaign operative for Biden, is listed as the treasurer of the PAC, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Joseph Stolen is an idiot.
That jackass didn’t win — that jackass was placed despite the Country’s vote for Trump.
Impeach this corrupt pervert.
A rather inconsequential amount of money. However, did Hunter or someone close get paid really big bucks and of course the “Big Guy” gets his cut.
Joe is old and relative well off. I do not see him accepting money personally for influence as he did in the past. I can see him selling his influence for great wealth for his daughter Ashley and son Hunter. He really owes them both for being a horrid father in the extreme. In particular he owes Ashley. Just google Ashley Bidens diary. It is all there.
Of note, Ashley Biden has not denied to the best of my knowledge that this diary is hers and accurate.
Joe Biden is a despicable man.
I had no idea Biden could be bought so cheap.
Get the house and senate and impeach the bastard.
Until next year, the shredding machines will be overworked at the WH and in both Houses.
You have to admit they really got their money’s worth. 14000 dollars? Piddly. Incredible return on investment. It’s like bribing a judge with a 5 dollar Starbucks gift card and getting probation instead of 7 to 10 in the slammer.
Russia, Russia, Russia! Say, where’s Hunter?
Joe Biden is a classic corrupt politician. He has used his decades in public office to enrich himself and his family in a manner that we usually associate with graft-seeking politicians of the 19th Century.How long has the FBI had Hunter's laptop?
...and not a peep about this from our neutered pols in the GOPe. Of course they’re probably in on the graft too, so that might account for the quiet.
It’s time to appoint a special counsel to investigate Russian collusion.
Classic ploy to reveal a small corruption in order to cover a huge one. The fact is that the federal government of the United States of America is for sale. As the punchline to the old joke goes, “We’ve already established what you are. The rest is just negotiating the price.”
Southern District of NY should be all over this I’m sure.
Too busy chasing mean tweets.
Money talks and the energy industry money given to Ted Cruz and others talks against Nord Stream 2.
