Hunter Biden asked US embassy in Italy for help landing Burisma deal while Joe was VP: report
New York Post ^ | Aug. 13, 2024 | Victor Nava

First son Hunter Biden, acting on behalf of a Ukrainian energy company, requested help from the US Embassy in Rome to land a lucrative business deal, while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president, according to a report.

Hunter’s big ask and apparent attempt to use his father’s position of power to land the deal for Bursima — the Ukrainian gas giant that he sat on the board for — came to light only after State Department records were released to the New York Times after Joe Biden ended his 2024 re-election bid last month.

“I want to be careful about promising too much,” a Commerce Department official at the US embassy in Italy wrote in response to Hunter’s letter, which was not released. The official seemed alarmed by the request, noting the various protocols in place that prevent the US government from lobbying on behalf of foreign companies.

His political protection is now gone

Damn, they’re really going after Joe. Maybe there’s some truth to what Trump said about Biden trying to take back the nomination.

... ... and even though at CA AG she sent thousands of black dudes to prison for MJ possession

NONE will dare call that "racist".

I don't think he has anything to worry about.

You and I are more likely to be convicted of us than he is.

Joe doesn’t need Kamala.

Joe will be Prez some five or six weeks after the Election.

Worst kept Secret is he pardons his boy, which will void all past acts

Translation: somebody at the NYT called their buddies at State at the behest of the DNC in order to drive a stake through Pedo Joe's heart. Lay back down, Joe, you're done.

Aaaand the mask comes off. Conservative conspiracy theorists are right AGAIN! Does anyone question now why Hunter and Jill were sooo protective of Daddy? Why the Huntster was sitting in on WH high level meetings? Advising them even?

Hunter Biden, acting while holding his big bucks no-show job at Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company, requested help from the US Embassy in Rome to land a lucrative business deal, while his father, Joe Biden, was Obama’s vice president.

A Commerce Department official at the US embassy in Italy had the good sense to be alarmed by influence-peddler Hunter’s request, noting the various protocols in place that prevent the US government from lobbying on behalf of foreign companies.

And if anybody has the gall to say Obama knew nothing about it, they’re lying.
