Former Secretary of State John Kerry used a pseudonymous government email address while serving as the nation’s top diplomat during the Obama administration, whistleblowers told Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson.
Fox News Digital obtained a letter Grassley, R-Iowa, and Johnson, R-Wis., sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, demanding answers on whether Kerry properly complied with federal records law as secretary of state.
Whistleblowers told Grassley and Johnson that Kerry used the email address “SESTravel1@state.gov” while serving in his official capacity.
“We want to know whether then-Secretary Kerry properly complied with all federal records laws and regulations with respect to his official email communications and whether responses to relevant Freedom of Information Act requests have properly included that email address in productions to requestors,” they wrote. …

Does Taraysa know he’s single?
Kerry portrayed himself as a Vietnam hero, but was actually awarded the purple heart for minor scratches

He was dressed like a surfer beach bum and had this smoking hot little young blonde with him.
She looked maybe 20 or so.
why the long face John?
Great points Mr. K
In the “modern era,” has ANY Democrat EVER complied with the federal records law?
Well, “no reasonable prosecutor” would ever consider that any Democrat has bad “intent” when they don’t, right?
Yes he is... thanks for sharing.
Not just falsifying a government record, but falsifying a record in furtherance of another crime.
What crime, you might ask?
Let's talk to Kerry's step-son Chris Heinz, who was Hunter Biden's business partner at Rosemont Seneca while Kerry was Secretary of State.
You have to understand what the purpose of Rosemont Seneca was. Rosemont Seneca was set up by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz as a front for peddling the Biden and Kerry "brands". Rosemont Seneca was positioned as a private equity investment hedge fund that was initially seeded with money from the Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital.
Hunter Biden then went to China and landed deals with the Chinese government through various Chinese shell companies, eventually connecting with Jonathan Li of BHR Partners (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd (aka BHR) [see bottom of post for breaking news on BHR], which is controlled by Bank of China Limited whose focus is on mergers and acquisitions, and investments in Chinese state-owned enterprises.
Rosemont Seneca then acquired a 10% stake in BHR Partners, and Hunter Biden was given a position on the Board of Directors of BHR Partners.
Here are just a few examples that we know of about how Hunter Biden was laundering the money to Joe Biden, by paying all of Joe's bills.
From the UK Daily Mail (July 5, 2021): Hunter Biden paid Joe's AT&T bill and spent thousands on house repairs for him while he was Vice President, new laptop emails claim
In an email to Hunter from Eric Shwerin, his partner at Rosemont Seneca, Shwerin talks about the bills they needed to pay for Joe
Text from Hunter Biden to daughter Naomi in 2019.
In other texts to his personal assistant, he said his father had been using lines of credit on his account
Devon Archer was a close friend of both Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz. Archer was made the Managing Director of Rosemont Seneca. During Devin Archer's testimony before Congress, he laid out the timeline for when Joe Biden was on telephone calls with Hunter Biden's clients:
According to the transcript released by the House:
The first reference in the transcript of Devon Archer puts the first phone call sometime in 2011. Rosemont Seneca was the basis for the call.
The next reference by Devon Archer places another phone call during Biden's trip to China in December, 2013. This call references Jonathan Li and BHR Partners.
3 BY MR. MANDOLFO:
4 Q Are you aware of Hunter Biden putting his -- or have been told that Hunter
5 Biden put his father on speakerphone during any of these interactions that you're just
6 describing now?
7 A Yes.
8 Q Can you please tell us about that?
9 A He put him on speakerphone, again, occasionally. Specifics, like, you know,
10 dinner -- you know, dinners occasionally.
11 Q Can you tell us about those dinners?
12 A Yeah. I remember a dinner in Paris with a French energy company that
13 was -- we were speaking to an advisor, and then -- we were speaking to. And it was
14 really a Rosemont Seneca Advisors type of -- a Rosemont Seneca Advisors kind of a pitch,
15 at the end of the day. And there was a talk, and he said that we're at this -- you know,
16 we're at this restaurant in Paris, and he put him on the speaker. So that did happen.
17 There were other people there.
18 Q Who else was there?
19 A There was me, myself; Hunter; Eric Schwerin; and then the executives from
20 the French energy company.
21 Q Do you remember the name of that company?
22 A I'm sure you could find it. It was probably, like, a 2011, you know, trip
23 planning. But it was a very large French energy company.
"Before the spring of 2016 and after spring of 2013" would be exactly John Kerry's term as Secretary of State. We have all this evidence of how Hunter Biden was steering money to the Biden family, but the Kerry family has been kept out of the spotlight -- until now. I wonder what Kerry was doing with an alias email account? Chris Heinz left Rosemont Seneca in 2014 over disagreements with Hunter Biden joining the Board of Directors of Burisma in Ukraine.
2 Q Do you recall other times where Hunter Biden placed his dad on
3 speakerphone?
4 A In you know, a dinner -- a dinner in -- with BHR, with Jonathan Li.
5 Q Where was that dinner?
6 A In Beijing, at, you know, some restaurant -- or Chengdu or something like
7 that. I don't remember the -- I don't remember specifics. This was just -- it was
8 not -- it was like a, you know -- especially with the time zone difference, there was -- you
9 know, there were meetings where his dad would call and he would be talking to him or
10 put him on speaker. I'm not going to -- you know, that's -- that happened.
5 Q One of the phone calls that you discussed with Vice President Biden on was
6 with an individual by the name of Jonathan Li.
7 A Yes.
8 Q Who is Jonathan Li?
9 A He is the CEO of BHR.
10 Q When was that phone call?
11 A That I don't recall. Just --
12 Q Do you remember the year?
13 A I don't. It would be before, you know, spring of '16 and after spring of
14 2013.
As you can see from Archer's testimony, 1) Eric Schwerin (who paid Hunter's bills for Joe) was present at the earliest Rosemont Seneca restaurant meetings where Joe Biden phoned in; 2) Joe Biden called into the restaurant meeting with Jonathan Li that eventually led to Hunter Biden's position on BHR's Board of Directors.
What should be clear by now is that ANY money that was paid to Hunter Biden via Rosemont Seneca was Chinese money passed through BHR Partners into Rosemont Seneca and then to Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz. Joe Biden was present (virtually) at the initial BHR meeting with Jonathan Li.
What was Chris Heinz doing with his half of the Rosemont Seneca profits?
Here is another story on Biden, Heinz, and Rosemont Seneca from the New York Post from 2018: Inside the shady private equity firm run by Kerry and Biden’s kids.
And... there's more!!!
Hunter and James Biden were just referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution for making false statements to Congress regarding another shell company "Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC and its bank account that was the recipient of millions of dollars from foreign individuals and foreign entities who met with then-Vice President Biden..."
Rosemont Seneca Bohai is a corporate entity that was opened in Delaware on February 13, 2014, the day before a $3.5 million wire from Yelena Baturina, a Russian oligarch’s wife. The company was founded by Devon Archer, Christopher Heinz, and Hunter Biden.The company was renamed to BHR Partners (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd. on May 31, 2023.

Aha. Did any of that happen in NY, which is very, very keen on making sure that records are not falsified in furtherance of another crime?

Have any of the House committees requested the emails from either Kerry or Biden? If so, and if they were not given the emails using those alternate aliases, could Biden and Kerry be charged with obstruction of justice for using aliases to hide the records?
And actually James Comey hid his records by having the name spelled CORNEY so it wouldn’t be found in searches, although he could say it was office staff that “misspelled” his name so consistently across all the records.
And it seems they never get in trouble with NARA over it either...
Hillary was running her own server in a bathroom in her home where she routed her State Department emails to, so that was even less secure. Obama even sent emails to Hillary's private server.
-PJ
If you don't know by now, you haven't been paying attention.
When the staff responds to FOIA requests where all the email records of Joe Biden (for instance) are requested, do they gather the emails from all of his aliases? Do they know his emails by his real name and not just the alias?
I could see a fine line if the alias was not able to be successful in hiding emails because staff know to include the alias emails with any request for emails by the person. If the staff doesn’t know the aliases it would be totally different in my view, and a deliberate attempt to obstruct justice if an investigation wasn’t given the records under the alias.
It may be a case of having someone create the IDs and then that person is transferred or terminated so nobody knows about them unless they go looking, but at least they are still secured.

Trump, as POTUS 47, will fix this!
Let us all work for 100,000,000 Trump votes on Nov 5!
MAGA!
GREAT POST!
THANKS!
