In September 2019, the house of Representatives led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched a successful attempt at impeaching US President Donald Trump from office on charges of abusing power and obstruction of Congress. The inquiry was initiated after a CIA whistleblower claimed that President Trump tried to get the President of Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden, the Son of the former vice-president, and the Democratic nominee Joe Biden. While the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky denied the charges against President Trump, Congress proceeded with the inquiry and in a partisan House vote, successfully impeached the President in December 2019. Ten months later, leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop did prove that Hunter used his father’s office, the then US Vice-President Joe Biden for private business gains, particularly in Ukraine. This is not the first time we have had negative speculation about Hunter Biden.
MBNA
In 2008, The New York Times found that Hunter Biden received consulting fees from the financial service and credit card company MBNA from 2001 to 2005. A company official said that Hunter was receiving $100,000 per year according to the times. While Hunter was an executive at MBNA since 1996, the consulting fees in question, strangely, came years after he departed the company as a full-time employee. The action was happening while the then-Senator Joe Biden was pushing successfully for legislation that was promoted by the credit card industry and opposed by consumer groups. The legislation made it harder for consumers to obtain bankruptcy protection in the courts according to CBS. The Story broke during the presidential marathon of 2008 where Biden made a successful bid at the vice-presidency of this nation.
China
Hunter was one of nine members of the BHR board of directors. While BHR is a private-equity company, it is controlled by stakeholders loyal to the Chinese government. Although Hunter resigned from the board which he was a member of since its founding in 2017, he didn’t become a shareholder until October 2017. Hunter Biden was accused of receiving a $10 million annual fee for “introductions alone” from a Chinese billionaire according to one of Hunter’s emails.
Additionally, Hunter received an email explaining how he and his family would be paid for a Chinese energy deal in CEFC including Jim Biden at 10%, then 10% for “the big guy held by H.” This email was confirmed by Tony Bobulinski, a business partner to the Biden family. Tony also confirmed that Jim’s share increased to 20% unexpectedly, making it seem that he might be getting his brother’s, Joe’s, share.
On July 26, 2017, the Chinese also proposed that an interest-free loan which the Bidens claimed was “Based on their trust in the Biden family.” Another $5 million was reported by a recent Senate report to go directly to Hunter Biden and from there, no one knows, but it didn’t make it to the business.
Tony Bobulinski, a previous Democrat donor and supporter, also claimed that Hunter became the personal attorney to CEFC as they were closing a deal that would allow CEFC to own 14% of a Russian state-owned energy company at $9 billion. Tony also refuted the claim that Joe was not involved in business transactions as he received text messages confirming that Joe was involved in key decisions.
Ukraine
Despite all this, the greatest hits of the suspicions surrounding Hunter Biden are with Ukraine. In April 2014, Hunter and his friend Devon Archer joined the natural gas company Burisma Holdings board. While this could be overlooked, Hunter was not known to speak Ukrainian or have experience with natural gas. The interesting thing here is that Hunter Biden introduced his father, then Vice-President Joe Biden to a top executive from the board of Burisma named Vadym Pozharskyi less than a year before the former Vice-President publicly acknowledged on camera that he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire its then top prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was reportedly investigating corruption in Bursima holdings when he got fired. The answer is clear to why Joe Biden, the VP of the U.S., would seek to have the Ukranian government fire a lowly prosecutor against Burisma in a lawsuit… collusion and helping out his son with a favor which, seems ironically familiar to the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress to which Trump was charged for in his impeachment trial, in which evidence and testimony by the Ukranian president did not fully support.
To summarize further, Hunter Biden joined a natural gas company in Ukraine at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month with virtually no natural gas experience or speaking Ukrainian in 2014. Then in 2015, he introduces one of his bosses to the vice-president of the United States, who later succeeds to pressure Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor who was actually investigating the company that Hunter joined with neither the experience nor the language that would qualify him for the job at the reported salary.
In summation, according to Joe Bobulinski, the emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop and the recent Senate report, Hunter Biden used his father’s influence to take jobs he didn’t qualify for, then made a lot of money out of shady dealings that were a textbook case of collusion and political scandal. Joe Biden used his influence to pressure a sovereign government to fire its top prosecutor and bragged about it to the media according to multiple sources.
