Hunter Biden’s Ukraine gas firm pressed Obama administration to end corruption allegations

Hunter Biden and his Ukrainian gas firm colleagues had multiple contacts with the Obama State Department during the 2016 election cycle, including one just a month before Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating his son’s company for corruption, newly released memos show.

During that February 2016 contact, a U.S. representative for Burisma Holdings sought a meeting with Undersecretary of State Catherine A. Novelli to discuss ending the corruption allegations against the Ukrainian firm where Hunter Biden worked as a board member, according to memos obtained under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. (I filed that suit this summer with the help of the public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation.)

Just three weeks before Burisma’s overture to State, Ukrainian authorities raided the home of the oligarch who owned the gas firm and employed Hunter Biden, a signal the long-running corruption probe was escalating in the middle of the U.S. presidential election.

Former investigative reporter for The Hill. Now out on his own and a regular guest on the various Fox evening shows, especially Hannity.

Come on, everyone, we ALL know this happened and that the Bidens are corrupt as all hell. Only the LameStream media has zero curiosity about this. Completely looking the other way.

These leftists supposedly always are victims, but decent (conservative) Americans can’t speak in any forum without being harassed and threatened with bodily harm.

I don't know where you got that weird spelling, but source here is John Solomon. Good investigative reporter. Was at Washington Post, Washington Times, Circa, and was a bigwig at The Hill until recently, now he has his own website, JohnSolomonReports.com

Burisma, the Ukraine gas firm that needed bigtime access to continue getting billions in foreign aide handouts,
hired Hunter Biden for big BIG bucks. Burisma then (cough) “pressed” the Obama admin to end corruption allegations.

In Ukrainian "pressed" is spelled Pre$$ed.

“Thanks Hunter-- my bank statement arrived. And Michelle loved the diamond from China you sent over.”

Let’s not forget that Paul Pelosi, Nancy’s son, did essentially the same thing as Hunter Biden.

If you click on the many links in that article you will see many original documents John Solomon has obtained from several sources (FBI, FOIA, KYEV, etc) that are the same documents Giuliani has been referring to as “proof that the Bidens were involved in a scheme” (I don’t want to misquote) to get money from Ukraine. Anyway - John Solomon is one of the best media assets we conservatives have in this fight. I’m a big fan of his work.

Apparently, Tom Cotton and the rest of the GOP Senate have forgotten. How pathetic to see them have exactly ZERO interest in gathering these facts while a GOP POTUS is under coupist assault.

Seriously? Are you that ignorant or you just live under a rock?

Journalist John Solomon has joined Fox News as a contributor, the Washington Examiner learned Saturday. Fox News confirmed the recent hire.

Solomon, who recently announced his departure from the Hill newspaper and the Hill.TV brand to start his own media firm, will make his debut as a contributor during the prime-time hours Monday night.

He has recently made headlines with his reporting on former Vice President Joe Biden and his connection to Ukraine. Prior to that, he gained notoriety for his reporting on the Trump-Russia collusion theory and for his frequent appearances on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News.

Prior to his time at the Hill, Solomon spent time as an investigative reporter for the Associated Press and spent the past decade with the Washington Times. He also started Circa, was president of Packard Media Group, and headed the Center for Public Integrity, a group that investigates politicians and funding.

Solomon also spent time as an investigative reporter at the Washington Post before he was named executive editor of the Washington Times in 2008.
