Secret Service claims it has ‘no records’ of who visits Biden in Delaware
Nypost.com ^ | April 20, 2022 | Steven Nelson

Posted on 04/20/2022 2:21:01 PM PDT by Liz

The US Secret Service has dubiously claimed to The Post that it has “no records” of visitors to Biden’s two Delaware residences and therefore cannot divulge that information in response to a FOIA request. Biden was at his residences in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach on about one-quarter of all days during his first year in office, but little is known about who stopped by for official meetings or less formal lobbying efforts — such as by members of his family and their associates.

The Post sought more than one year of visitor log records, including for Biden’s first year in office, but Secret Service Freedom of Information Act officer Kevin Tyrrell wrote in a response dated Monday that “[t]he Secret Service FOIA Office searched all Program Offices that were likely to contain potentially responsive records, and no records were located.”

First son Hunter Biden is under criminal investigation for possible tax fraud and unregistered foreign lobbying after routinely seeking business in countries where his father held sway as vice president. The younger Biden worked on some overseas projects with his uncle Jim Biden.

Documents and photos from a laptop that formerly belonged to Hunter Biden indicate that he introduced his dad to business associates from China, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine — including at the vice president’s residence in Washington.

Biden was at one of his Delaware homes for 99 days during his first year in office, including for official business, such as an Oct. 24 breakfast where Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) lobbied centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) to support Biden’s Build Back Better Act social spending plan.

Hunter Biden’s Firm Wanted to Asset Strip the U.S. Postal Service, E-Mail Reveals...Meanwhile, Joe Biden is trying to replace the Postmaster General.
https://thenationalpulse.com ^ | April 1, 2022 | by Raheem J. Kassam
Posted on 4/5/2022, 8:11:01 AM by Red Badger

President Biden’s son Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca firm considered the idea of asset stripping the U.S. Postal Service, previously unseen e-mails have revealed. The news comes as Joe Biden attempts to oust the current Postmaster General over election fraud concerns.

Writing to colleagues including Hunter Biden – the disgraced son of then-Vice President Joe Biden – Rosemont Seneca partner Neil Callahan said, “I still love this idea,” before forwarding an e-mail discussing the asset stripping of the U.S. Postal Service, The National Pulse can reveal.

Rosemont Seneca is the controversial firm led by Hunter Biden, which engaged in energy deals with the Chinese Communist Party as well as Burisma in Ukraine, and Metabiota’s biolabs in the same Eurasian nation.

Callahan was referring to an idea for a friend of Rosemont Seneca’s, a man by the name of Amitava Mitra.

Mitra had mooted the idea of asset stripping the U.S. Postal Service, detailing a strategy involving the multi-billion dollar, New York-based investment firm Evercore:

“I was talking with the evercore guys today… Evercore has a contract with USPS, who knows what they do, strategic advice they say. probably they are just selling off the real estate quietly as the USPS is in a $ 6 or 7 billion hole. think of it, USPS’s real estate in NY, DC, Chicago, LA, SF is worth $ 30 billion… if you can find a good firm, to fund this can be a huge play, just retail real estate like Grand central station… let me know.”

The news comes after the 2020 election, during which operatives on the political left accused President Donald Trump of attacking the Postal Service over his concerns with mail-in ballots.

The revelations are also concerning given current President Joe Biden’s insistence on removing the current Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, as Biden seeks to fundamentally transform the service with focuses on election funding and a green agenda.

The idea as presented on Hunter Biden’s hard drive did not appear to lead anywhere, though it may go some way to explaining Biden’s current obsession with removing Trump-era appointee DeJoy.

Last year, Biden began stacking the USPS board with political allies after being urged to do so by far-left Members of Congress. Last year, without specifics, outgoing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki blasted DeJoy:

“We are, of course, deeply troubled, continue to be deeply troubled — as many Americans are — by the earlier reporting on Postmaster General DeJoy’s potential financial conflicts of interest and take serious issues with the job he’s doing running the Postal Service… It’s up to the board to make a determination about leadership, but we have continued concerns about the postmaster general’s leadership.”

The behavior strikes a worryingly similar tone to that of Joe Biden in Ukraine in 2016. During a Council on Foreign Relations event, the former VP appeared to admit that he leveraged U.S. aid to Ukraine in order to force out a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating his son Hunter’s former company, Burisma.

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden said he told Poroshenko, before concluding: “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.”

The Hunter Biden USPS e-mail was sent just after a deal was struck between the Postal Service and Evercore, an investing and consulting firm led by former Clinton Treasury appointee Roger Altman.

Altman, a college friend of former President Clinton’s, was forced to resign from the U.S. government in 1994 after admitting before the U.S. Senate that he had given White House officials a “heads-up” on nine criminal referrals that, according to CNN, “targeted Clinton’s 1985 gubernatorial campaign, and named the Clintons as witnesses in others.”

The news comes as corporate media organizations admit the veracity of Hunter Biden’s hard drive and the associated e-mails within. The National Pulse was one of the first and most frequent outlets to report from the drive, with a cache of stories available at BidenLeak.com

It’s their responsibility to keep accurate records. The head of the Secret Service and the head of Biden’s SS team should be terminated immediately for failure to perform.

On an official tax-paid govt trip to China, then-VP Biden brought along Hunter and daughter Finnegan —— for a family outing paid for by taxpayers-—the moronic grand-daughter waves at Chinese dignitaries like it was old home week.......like she’s some sort of diplomat. And neither is Hunter Biden a diplomat

To me, this is the epitome of Joe Biden’s corruption. Shows exactly what he thinks of taxpaying Americans.
We exist only to serve him and his greedy family’s endless get-rich-quick schemes. Hunter Biden soaked the taxpayers…...
used government-sponsored travel to conduct private business, flying on the VP’s plane…..Air Force Two

Hunter cashed in bigtime, conducted personal business traveling on AF Two.....and he did it all with govt resources.
Even had a Chinese suckup hand-deliver a diamond to his hotel room......just to make sure corrupt Hunter “was bought good.”

The corrupt trio did all the touristy things available in China.......sucking off the backs of US taxpayers 24/7.

Taxpayers demand to know the names, and status of every Biden visitor.

The real question isn't who visits Biden. Joe Biden is riddled with dementia. He's not making any policy decisions.

It's who's visiting Ron Klain. He's the guy running the country at the executive level.

The surest way to get around FOIA requests is to simply not keep records at all.

Pretty sure that is against the law, though.

Hunter Biden benefited from dad’s connections his entire career
By Jon Levine and Joshua Rhett Miller
April 9, 2022 4:03pm Updated

<><>Hunter Biden caught his first break in 1988 when he was busted for drug possession.

<><>Hunter Biden frequently covered family expenses, texts reveal

Hunter Biden has been living off his father’s influence and connections his entire life, a review of public information and data contained on his old laptop show.

<><>The future first son caught his first break back in 1988 when he was busted for drug possession. At a time when Sen. Joe Biden was pushing stiffer sentences for drug users to bolster his War on Drugs bonafides, Hunter Biden was treated with kid gloves.

“I was cited for possession of a controlled substance in Stone Harbor, NJ. There was a pre-trial intervention and the record was expunged,” he said in a disclosure after being nominated to serve on the Amtrak Reform Board in 2006.

<><>Biden family benefits continued for Hunter when he applied to Yale Law School. Dean Guido Calabresi got a call from the school’s most powerful alumnus, President Bill Clinton, who asked him to accept Hunter Biden, a recent Georgetown graduate, according to a 2019 report in Chronicle of Higher Education.

Calabresi, who had walled off the dean’s office from the admissions process at Yale Law to avoid just such pressure, told Clinton that he would not intercede. The admissions office then rejected Hunter. But Calabresi met with Hunter, encouraged him to go to a different law school and to then apply to Yale as a transfer student. Hunter Biden went to Georgetown University Law for a year, and was admitted to Yale in the summer of 1994.

Clinton nominated Calabresi to a federal judgeship that same year. At the time, Sen. Joe Biden was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the person in charge of shepherding Calabresi’s nomination. Guido Calabresi told The Post he knew nothing of Hunter’s law school acceptance at the time.
REUTERS/Jim Young. “I had nothing to do with that acceptance and don’t recall knowing of it at the time,” Calabresi, now 89, told The Post.

<><>“The only qualification Hunter seems to have had was his last name,” GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik told The Post. The upstate Republican and House GOP Conference chairwoman has vowed to subpoena the first son if her party retakes the House in the 2022 midterms.

<><>The good news kept coming for Hunter, whose professional career took off with lightening speed. In 1996, fresh out of law school, Hunter snagged a job with giant Delaware-based bank MBNA — his father’s largest campaign donor. The $100,000-a-year gig came with an undisclosed signing bonus, according to the book Laptop From Hell by Post columnist Miranda Devine. Within a year, he was an executive vice president of the bank.

<><>When MBNA founder Charlie Cawley died in 2015, Hunter Biden was invited to the funeral by former Delaware Sen. Ted Kaufman, one of Joe Biden’s closest associates, emails from the laptop shop. In 1998, having tired of banking, Hunter Biden reached out to William Oldaker, a D.C. lawyer who worked on his father’s aborted 1988 presidential campaign, for help getting a job with the Clinton administration. Oldaker put out feelers to Commerce Secretary William Daley, another Biden campaign alum, who netted him a gig as a “policy director specializing in the burgeoning Internet economy,” according to the New Yorker.

<><>During this time, Hunter was still being paid as a lobbyist for the bank, taking a $100,000 annual retainer for five years, according to Laptop From Hell.

<><>When President George W. Bush and Republicans came to town after the 2000 election, Hunter Biden decamped with Oldaker to the lobbying shop Oldaker, Biden & Belair. Plum corporate board positions followed, including one with Eudora Global, an investment firm founded by another Joe Biden donor, Jeff Cooper.

<><>At a time when then-Sen. Joe Biden was pushing stiffer sentences for drug users to bolster his War on Drugs bonafides, Hunter was treated with kid gloves for his own drugs offense.

<><>In January 2006, Joe Biden was once against thinking about the presidency and was looking for his son to knock off the lobbying and find a more low-profile private-sector job. Hunter Biden’s uncle James got in touch with New York financial advisor Anthony Lotito about the purchase of a hedge fund called Paradigm, according to legal filings from Lotito obtained by Politico.

Lotito did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.

The Bidens received a million bucks of financing for the purchase of the hedge fund in 2009 from the St. Louis law firm SimmonsCooper, whose managing partner was Jeff Cooper. The venture ended badly and the Bidens had to return the cash.

<><>In 2010 Hunter Biden became “of counsel” at the law firm Boies, Schiller and Flexner — headed by Democratic super lawyer David Boies. In a Jan. 16, 2017 email to Hunter Biden from Eric Schwerin. it is revealed that the Boies firm was paying Hunter $216,000 annually.

It was a “no-show” job that did not require Hunter Biden to keep regular office hours or attend meetings, according to Laptop From Hell.

Schwerin was the president of Hunter Biden’s investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, an investment firm mentioned throughout the hard drive in messages linking Hunter and his father to shady foreign deals.Reps for the Boies law firm did not respond to request for comment from The Post.

<><>“The allegations of corruption against the Bidens — as documented in Hunter’s laptop—are serious and real.Meanwhile, the Biden administration is desperately trying to cover up the evidence of corruption. There needs to be a Special Counsel that doesn’t answer to Joe Biden to fairly investigate the allegations of Biden family corruption,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told The Post.

From the book The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power Hardcover by Ben Schreckinger

FTB-——​On November 3, Americans did not just elect Joe Biden: They got a package deal. The tight-knit Biden family—siblings, children, in-laws, and beyond—is coming right along with him. They are sure to play a defining role in his presidency, just as they have in every other one of his endeavors.

Inside, you’ll find these and other stories and revelations about the Biden family, including:

Joe’s childhood, the stunning 1972 Senate upset engineered by his sister Valerie

Joe’s early years in the Senate and his role in the creation of the cozy “Delaware Way” of conducting politics

The Biden brothers’ business escapades, including the ’70s rock club rivalry that pitted Jim Biden against Jill’s first husband and ended in a banking scandal

The Delaware lawman who oversaw an FBI investigation into Joe’s 2007 campaign fundraising and now has Hunter in his sights

Hunter’s surprisingly close friendship with his Fox News antagonist, Tucker Carlson

What Steve Bannon really hoped to accomplish by giving the contents of “the Laptop from Hell” to the New York Post

New evidence that sheds light on the authenticity of Hunter’s alleged computer files

Like the Kennedys before them, the Bidens are a tight-knit, idealistic Irish Catholic clan with good looks, dynastic ambitions, and serious personal problems.

As THE BIDENS reveals, the best way to understand Joe Biden—his values, fears, and motives—is to understand his family: Their Irish (and not-so-Irish) roots, their place in the Delaware pecking order, their dodgy business deals, and their personal struggles and triumphs alike.

The Bidens .... and ALL of that ilk.....are Space-Occupying Lesions of a different pathology ...........more of a malignancy, an abscess on the body politic.

Biden’s a creation of Dumb Delaware Democrats......and massive voter fraud.

Biden’s always been a dolt, on the wrong side of every national security issue and foreign policy stance.

He’s always been known to be a liar, pedophile, plagiarist, thief and on the take........AND heads the Biden Crime Family.

Add in his crackhead son........an “earner” in mob parlance.......now a renowned painter /s.

Then there’s drJill......gag.

GWB speechwriter penned a scathing Op-Ed criticizing Biden for repeatedly invoking son Beau’s death.

‘Biden is not a Gold Star father and should stop playing one on TV’...........

Beau Biden was a noncombatant lawyer reservist .......he died 15 years ago of brain cancer after returning home from a one year tour as JAG in Iraq.

Biden himself had six draft deferments for school and marriage during the Vietnam War, he never served.

Hunter monetizes hunger

The pattern of Hunter Biden mixing charity with private business was repeated several times during his tenure as chairman of the World Food Program USA, the documents show.

For instance, Hunter Biden would connect his Burisma Holdings colleagues in Ukraine to the food charity. And his father spoke at the charity’s events while also attending a dinner that merged Hunter Biden’s business clients and charity colleagues.

Hunter Biden served on the WFP USA board from 2011 until 2017 and was chairman from 2011 to 2015, according to the nonprofit’s annual reports. During that time, he leveraged his connections to the U.N.-affiliated organization and to his father, the vice president (who headlined multiple WFP USA events), to enhance his business relationships with Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese oligarchs.

WFP USA did not immediately return requests for comment. Hunter Biden’s lawyer, George Mesires, has declined to return numerous messages from Just the News seeking comment on his client’s foreign business dealings.

The Ukrainians were the first to see the potential to capitalize on Hunter Biden’s WFP charitable connections. Documents on the laptop show that on March 16, 2015 Burisma adviser Vadym Pozharskyi wrote to Hunter Biden: “Following our conversation, I would like to let you know that it would be great if we could combine our efforts and do something important together in the area of food safety, as well in other areas of interest for WFP and other UN strategic initiatives.”

“This is great,” Hunter replied on the same day. “My thinking is that we create and fund an operation based at CSIS.org that focuses on solutions to food security that can be implemented in real time…my long term thinking is that this is what I/ We are known for. The possible connection to the UN leadership and the real ability that we have to bring both ideas and capital to the table along with a platform (CSIS/WFP) makes this a very interesting opportunity. I would love for you to be a partner in it.”

Four days later, on March 20, 2015, Hunter Biden emailed a tentative guest list to his longtime business partner Archer, who now awaits sentencing for securities fraud, for a forthcoming dinner that would convene some of Hunter Biden’s most controversial foreign business associates in the secluded “Garden Room” at the Cafe Milano in Washington D.C.

Hunter Biden saved “3 seats for WFP people,” another three seats for his Kazakh associates, two seats for former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and his wife, Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina — Russia’s wealthiest woman — as well as a seat for a Burisma representative, Pozharskyi.
