Burisma emails to Hunter, along with Archer’s congressional testimony, put the lie to this claim.
This email destroys Hunter’s claim “no one at Burisma had even hinted” at using him for influence.

Evidence including sworn impeachment inquiry testimony, confirmed emails and financial records increasingly show that President Joe Biden’s meetings with his son’s foreign clients were closely followed by payments and agreements that advanced his family’s business deals.
House Republicans on Thursday subpoenaed new financial records belonging to Hunter Biden, his associates, and companies in a growing effort to find evidence that Joe Biden benefited personally from his son’s foreign dealings.
Rep. Greg Steube agreed on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show on Thursday that Joe Biden played a “rainmaker” role in Hunter Biden’s business ventures.
“We’ve known that all along and now we’re getting corroborating witness testimony,” Steube said. “Thankfully, for the subpoenas that have been issued to the financial institutions, we now have financial evidence of the money that was laundered from the Chinese Communist Party or Russian oligarchs, or the Ukrainian government and entities through the Biden family members, his brother, James Biden, and Hunter Biden.”
“And we know that obviously, Joe Biden was the impetus behind all of that,” Steube claimed.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News.
Joe Biden has long denied any involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings, repeatedly and publicly. "I never talked business with anybody,” Biden told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy last August. “I knew you would have a lousy question,” he added. The Washington Post published a clip reel of Biden making similar claims over and over.

BTTT
It tells you a lot about 2024 candidate Biden that his policies
foster failure, lawlessness, adverse behavior, dependency, mediocrity, etc.
Biden is clearly on the side of cultural ruination, a
curious aspiration for the president of the United States.
Biden’s policies are dismantling cultural norms not
building them up, as one would expect from a chief executive.
Biden seems unable to rise above mediocrity.
We once expected presidents to advance activities and behaviors
that serve to enhance culture, into a civilization that rewards success.
If Biden cannot aspire that high then he should just get
out of the dam way and let someone take the job who does.
Hunter Biden partner Rob Walker confirms
payments to Biden family began when Joe was VP

Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker appeared for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee Friday as the latest witness in the impeachment inquiry and weeks before Hunter Biden is set to testify.
According to a source familiar with Walker’s testimony, he confirmed reports that Hunter Biden’s work for the Chinese energy company CEFC began while Joe Biden was still Vice President, in 2015.
In December, Just the News reported that the impeachment inquiry had assembled a growing body of evidence that Hunter’s work with the Chinese energy company started years before its million dollar payments began to flow into the Biden family coffers in 2017, following Joe Biden’s departure from office.
“Today we learned that Joe Biden met with the now-missing Chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, as Hunter Biden and his associates received $3 million from a Chinese entity CEFC controlled. Evidence continues to reveal the Bidens sold the ‘Biden Brand’ to enrich the Biden family,” Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement released by the Oversight Committee.

Media Moves the Goalpost Again on Biden Corruption Coverage

The true “illusion” was the resourceful Bidens getting this eternal scandal to disappear in front of millions.The key to this Houdinesque Biden trick was to get the media to invest in the deception (kinda like audience members called to the stage to witness the trick).
The reporters have to back the “illusion of influence” or admit that they were part of the deception. Even with millions from Hunter’s influence-peddling funneled to the Biden family, and acknowledgments that the family was “selling the [Biden] brand”....... it cannot be enough.
Even the Bidens’ clever subterfuge.....use of a ridiculously complex array of two dozen entities to transfer and launder money without any known purpose, it cannot be enough.
It is far easier to demand to see something no self-respecting Beltway bandit would commit: that after creating this labyrinth of shell companies and accounts, the Bidens went ahead and just did the equivalent to a Venmo payment directly to Joe and Jill Biden. The disappearing act may not be believable.....but who among us believes Hunter Biden is an energy expert?
snip
But for bidung and people like him ...I think they believe they are aspiring that high ...
it's just they have a warped sense of right and wrong ... good and evil..
They are the ones who never tire of doing evil to their fellow man, because they believe they are benefiting their victims.
they and their ilk will press on for the good of man kind
they will press on and on and on ...... unless they are stopped.
The Comer committee could save time and find out a lot more if they consulted author and
researcher Peter Schweizer who has been digging into the Biden family’s finances for years.
Schweizer reports:
<><>Joe Biden has an LLC called CelticCapri thru which he runs his money,
<><>on his 2017 and 2018 tax returns, he reported he had $12.6M income during that time
<><>in 2019 Biden runs for president of the United States,
<><>candidate Biden is required to fill out the Office of Govt Ethics’ financial disclosure form.
<><>the form says he had $7.4 million in income; 40% less than he told the IRS.
<><>What accounts for Biden’s $5.2 million discrepancy?”
The media is so invested in protecting the Biden family, you have to assume media corporate leadership is being paid to make sure that only one narrative is presented.
For instance, CBS just fired Catherine Herridge, their only reporter that actually reported and investigated news. She had just reported on the Biden docs, and not in a favorable manner. That was a no-no so she had to go. If you are laying-off reporters as a cost-cutting measure, it seems you would first get rid of those that bring no value to the table rather than the one reporter that brings in viewers.

Hunter Biden received $250K wires originating in Beijing
beneficiary address listed as Joe Biden’s Delaware home
Money came from Hunter’s China-backed business partners
By Brooke Singman, Fox News, September 26, 2023
EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden received wires that originated in Beijing for more than $250,000 from Chinese business partners during the summer of 2019 — wires that listed the Delaware home of Joe Biden as the beneficiary address for the funds, Fox News Digital has learned from a congressional committee.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has been investigating the Biden family business dealings and President Biden’s alleged involvement in those ventures.
link——FLASHBACK: HUNTER BIDEN ASSOCIATE TEXTS HINT AT PUSH TO ‘GET JOE INVOLVED,’ MAKE IT LOOK LIKE ‘TRULY FAMILY BUSINESS’
As part of the investigation, Comer subpoenaed financial records related to a specific bank account and received records of two wires originating from Beijing and linked to BHR Partners. BHR Partners is a joint-venture between Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca and Chinese investment firm Bohai Capital. BHR Partners is a Beijing-backed private equity firm controlled by Bank of China Limited. Hunter Biden reportedly sat on the board of directors of BHR Partners.
The first wire transfer sent to Hunter Biden, dated July 26, 2019, was for $10,000 from an individual named Ms. Wang Xin. There is a Ms. Wang Xin listed on the website for BHR Partners. It is unclear if the wire came from that Wang Xin. The second wire transfer sent to Hunter Biden, dated Aug. 2, 2019, was for $250,000 from Li Xiang Sheng — also known as Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR Partners — and Ms. Tan Ling. The committee is trying to identify Ling’s role. The beneficiary for the wires is listed as Robert Hunter Biden with the address “1209 Barley Mill Rd.” in Wilmington, Delaware. That address is the main residence for President Biden.
Comer and the House Oversight Committee have obtained bank records as part of their investigation, alleging that the Biden family and their business associates received millions of dollars from oligarchs in Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan during the Obama administration.
Fox News Digital has also learned that the committee has records that allegedly reveal that from 2014 to 2019 the Biden family and their associates received $24 million in foreign payments — $15 million to the Bidens and $9 million for their business associates, $4 million more than previously known.
Committee aides told Fox News Digital that beneficiary addresses are either the address listed to the recipient account or listed by the individual sending the wire. It is unclear, based on the wire records, who listed the address. Hunter Biden spent time in 2017, 2018 and 2019 living at the Biden family home in Wilmington. It is unclear if he was living at the home at the time of the wire transfers in July and August 2019. The wires were sent just several months after then-Vice President Joe Biden announced his 2020 presidential campaign. Joe Biden, in August 2019, said he “never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their business, period.”
As for Jonathan Li, according to testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business associate, Devon Archer, as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation, Joe Biden sat down for coffee in Beijing with the CEO of BHR. Archer also testified that Biden wrote a college recommendation letter for Li’s daughter to Georgetown. Archer said Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone for at least one call with Li in addition to meeting for coffee.
Separately, Fox News Digital first reported in 2022 that Biden wrote a college recommendation letter for Li’s son to Brown University.

“Bank records don’t lie, but President Joe Biden does,” Comer told Fox News Digital. “In 2020, Joe Biden told Americans that his family never received money from China. We’ve already proved that to be a lie earlier this year, and now we know that two wires originating from Beijing listed Joe Biden’s Wilmington home as the beneficiary address when he was running for president of the United States. When Joe Biden was vice president, he spoke on the phone and had coffee with Jonathan Li in Beijing and later wrote a college letter of recommendation for his children,” Comer said.
“Joe Biden’s abuse of public office for his family’s financial gain threatens our national security. What did the Bidens do with this money from Beijing? Americans demand and deserve accountability for President Biden and the first family’s corruption. The Oversight Committee, along with the Judiciary and Ways and Means committees, will continue to follow the evidence and money to provide transparency and accountability.”
Despite Hunter Biden receiving more than a quarter of a million dollars in the summer of 2019 from BHR-linked individuals, in October 2019, then-attorney for Hunter Biden, George Mesires, explained Hunter’s role at the company by saying he “served only as a member of the board of directors, which he joined based on his interest in seeking ways to bring Chinese capital to international markets.”
link-—HUNTER DEMANDED $10M FROM CHINESE ENERGY FIRM BECAUSE ‘BIDENS ARE THE BEST,’ HAVE ‘CONNECTIONS’
“It was an unpaid position,” Mesires said on Oct. 13, 2019. “In October 2017, Hunter committed to invest approximately $420,000 USD (as of 10/12/2019) to acquire a 10% equity position in BHR, which he still holds. To date, Hunter has not received any compensation for being on BHR’s board of directors. He has not received any return on his investment; there have been no distributions to BHR shareholders since Hunter obtained his equity interest.” Hunter resigned from the board of BHR at the end of October 2019.

The White House, attorneys for Hunter Biden and Mesires did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. The White House maintains that the president was “never in business with his son.” The subpoenaed financial records come amid House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry investigation against President Biden.

ITEM: VP Biden’s Email Alias Relayed Phone Nos of Top U.S. Officials to Hunter
ITEM: On June 7, 2015, Kathy Chung, a govt-paid assistant of then-Vice President Biden, sent an email to Biden’s government alias AND to Hunter with the subject line, “These are all cell numbers (of Top U.S. Officials).”
ITEM:” Biden’s niece Casey Owens - his sister’s child - working for Obama on his Treasury’s China project, was privy to China’s sovereign wealth details. She sent sensitive info to Hunter, which aided and abetted Hunter’s influence peddling schemes, to benefit the Biden family’s vast wealth accumulation.
Not far-fetched, but these data releases also border on national espionage. Much of this sensitive information was transferred on un-encrypted transmission lines......accessible to US enemies.
Burisma emails to Hunter, along with Archer’s congressional testimony, put the lie to this claim.
This email destroys Hunter’s claim “no one at Burisma had even hinted” at using him for influence.
Eric Schwerin (top left) had a friendly relationship with the scandal-plagued cokehead Hunter for years and served as the managing director of their investment firm Rosemont Seneca Advisors though they may have met working in the Commerce Dept of the Clinton admin.
Schwerin was also part of Hunter’s lobbying shop, Oldaker, Biden & Belair, from 2002-2008, disclosure forms show.
Prior to Obama’s election as president, the-then Illinois US senator sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for Hunter’s clients, the Wash/Post reported in Aug 2008, weeks after Obama tapped Joe Biden as his running mate.
eff this skeezy banana republic we live in.
This story is worth keeping an eye on. It’s obvious that Biden wants the Ukrainian bribery whistle blower silenced.

Yeah, but Donald Trump took money from a Russian tourist in exchange for a three night stay in one of this hotels!!!!
The only business the Biden family had as far as we have seen, is and was SELLING INFLUENCE AND TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS. Am I missing something?
Ooooooo......Trump bad.
Surely these instances with the Biden family are equally in service for the high-minded aims of his family.
The average person knows the guilt here for some time now, All the evidence is plain to see yet we have a corrupt justice system brought to you by the very criminals who are engaged
