Hunter Biden Email Promising Russian Oligarch Info Raises Fresh Concern About Joe’s Access

/9 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. A Hunter Biden email sent to an American aluminum company and promising information on Russian oligarchs is raising fresh concerns about the first son’s access to classified documents recently discovered in his father’s Wilmington, Del., home as lawmakers prepare to investigate allegations of influence peddling.

Documents dating back to 2011 on his notorious “laptop from hell” showed Hunter offered to sell intelligence on Russian oligarchs to the US aluminum firm Alcoa Inc. for $55,000, according to The Post’s exclusive October 2021 report.

As his father served as former President Barack Obama’s second-in-command, Hunter Biden offered to provide a “statistical analysis of political and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian CEO of Basic Element company and United company RUSAL,” which had just signed a metal supply agreement with Alcoa.

Hunter Biden also offered the company a “list of elites of similar rank in Russia, map of [Deripaska’s] networks based on frequency of interaction with selected elites and countries.”

The deeply detailed proposal has come under sharp scrutiny given recent revelations that Hunter Biden had access to the Delaware lake-front home where secret papers from his father’s time as vice president were discovered in a garage, basement and library — combined with Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives.

Hunter Biden’s Email to Burisma Business Partner Infers ‘Direct Access’ to Classified Information: Cruz

By Fox News. Sen. Ted Cruz sounded off on an email Hunter Biden sent to a Burisma colleague, alleging the correspondence indicates he had access to classified material as new information is revealed regarding the magnitude of Biden’s latest scandal.

Cruz joined “Sunday Morning Futures” to discuss why the email was “unusual” and how it infers that he had “direct access” to the information that could be tied to Biden’s alleged mishandling of thousands of records.

“Hunter Biden didn’t write that,” Cruz told Maria Bartiromo. “Hunter Biden is not an expert on Ukraine. He’s not an expert on Eastern Europe. He’s not an expert on Russia, but that email did help get him on the board of Burisma. It did help get him paid $83,000 a month because it showed a level of expertise not coming from him, but he was getting it from somewhere. That’s clearly from some sort of briefing. We don’t know whether it was a classified briefing or not, but that is the sort of analysis that is often within a classified briefing.”

“And this email is unusual in the Hunter Biden emails, there’s a level of scholarship and erudition that if it magically appeared, somehow it doesn’t appear in the other emails he’s sending,” he continued. “The obvious question is what was he cutting and pasting from? What was his source? And it raises the natural inference that Hunter Biden had direct access to these classified documents.”

The email in question was from 2014 – Hunter Biden sent the correspondence to Devon Archer, who was also on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s Email to Burisma Business Partner Infers ‘Direct Access’ to Classified Information: Cruz” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The scene of the blaze was Hillandale Farms’ egg installation in Bozrah, Connecticut, where firefighters from 20 departments in the surrounding area had to be deployed to deal with the inferno (via CT Insider):

About 100,000 chickens died in a large weekend egg farm fire, according the state’s farming agency.

Officials are still trying to confirm the exact number of egg-laying hens that died at Hillandale Farm Saturday, said Rebecca E. Murphy, spokesperson for the Connecticut Department of Agriculture. Damage at the farm at 17 Schwartz Road in Bozrah was limited to a single structure, Murphy said.

“The Connecticut Department of Agriculture commends the swift actions of both employees and the many first responder units to contain the fire at Hillandale Farms in Bozrah to a single structure, preventing any additional losses,” she said.

Biden Says U.S. Won’t Send F-16 Fighter Jets to Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Monday said the U.S. will not supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets to assist in their ongoing fight with Russia, which is heading into its second year.

“No,” Mr. Biden said when a reporter asked him if the U.S. would send the fighter jets to Ukraine.

Mr. Biden also said he was unsure if he would visit Europe for the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials last week renewed their calls for the U.S. and Germany to provide them with F-16 fighter jets, which have been on the country’s wish list since the war began last year.

The Biden administration has rebuffed such calls, saying that artillery, armor, and ground-based defense systems and tanks are more urgent needs because Ukraine must protect civilian infrastructure and repel Russian forces.

Biden Forgets Rishi Sunak’s Name in Major Gaffe

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden once again appeared to pronounce Rishi Sunak’s name incorrectly as he announced a fleet of highly powerful Abram tanks will be delivered to Ukraine. Stuttering as he referred to Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden then referred to the Prime Minister as ‘Sa-nook’.

“The United States and Europe are fully united. This morning, I had a long conversation with our NATO allies. German Chancellor Scholz, President Macron, Prime Minister Sa-nook and Italian Prime Minister Meloni to continue our close coordination and our support of Ukraine,”the 80-year-old told a White House press briefing.

This isn’t the first time the President has struggled to name the leader of the United States’ closest ally.

When Sunak became PM last October, Biden told reporters: “Just today we’ve got news that ‘Rashid Sa-nook’ is now the Prime Minister.”

Gaffes aside, Biden announced America’s commitment to providing Ukraine with 31 M1 Abrams main battle tanks, the toughest in the US arsenal. (Read more from “Biden Forgets Rishi Sunak’s Name in Major Gaffe” HERE)

After Ukraine Scores U.S. Tanks, Kyiv Plans Push for Modern Fighter Jets

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukraine intends to press the United States for fourth-generation fighter jets after President Joe Biden agreed to send dozens of top U.S. battle tanks to aid Kyiv’s war against Russia.

The White House announced on Wednesday that it will send 31 M1 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine, a major reversal after officials said the tanks were too complicated and high-maintenance for the inexperienced Ukraine military to effectively use. Biden said the tanks symbolized “unflagging commitment” to Ukraine’s cause.

“These tanks are further evidence of our enduring, unflagging commitment to Ukraine and our confidence in the skill of the Ukrainian forces,” Biden said. “As I told President Zelensky when he was here — and today is his birthday, by the way — in December: We’re with you for as long as it takes, Mr. President.”

The tanks will be paid for through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, a fund approved by Congress to aid Ukraine. Using the fund will delay Ukraine’s reception of the tanks by months, according to POLITICO.

The Pentagon will procure the tanks as well as support vehicles and supplies to give to the Ukrainians to maintain the battle machines. While the aid is being prepared and shipped, the U.S. will train the Ukrainian military on how to use and maintain the tanks.

Multiple Reports Say White House Hid Classified Doc Scandal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Multiple reports from establishment media outlets indicate the White House and the Justice Department agreed to hide President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal from the American public, despite claims of transparency after it was leaked to the press.

At least three times the establishment media reported that Biden and the DOJ agreed to hide the scandal from public view with likely had no plans to disclose it until the scandal was leaked to CBS News on January 9, weeks after the initial trove was found by Biden’s personal lawyers November 2.

White House officials are reportedly suspicious about how Biden’s classified document scandal was leaked to the press after only a select group of White House and DOJ officials knew about the violation.

The latest report of the alleged coverup came Wednesday from the New York Times, which recounted its previous reporting and the initial report by the Washington Post on January 19.

“Democratic allies are increasingly frustrated by a White House that hid the discovery of secret documents from the public for two months and, even once it was reported, provided only partial information, then declared the search complete only to have more papers turn up,” the Times reported. “They promptly contacted the authorities [DOJ] after the documents were found and have sought to work collaboratively to find any other stray papers.” (Read more from “Multiple Reports Say White House Hid Classified Doc Scandal” HERE)

Why Is Kamala So Silent Regarding President Biden’s Document Scandal?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris has been eerily quiet about President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal, causing at least some Republicans to believe Harris could be angling to push Biden out of the way for a shot at the Oval Office.

Though Harris has delivered several public statements since the scandal was leaked to the press on January 9, she has neither supported Biden nor condemned any wrongdoing. Her public comments during this timeframe have largely remained on script, ranging from global warming, Venn diagrams, electricity, school buses, and the southern border invasion.

The communications strategy appears noticeably different from her attacks on former President Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified materials. In August, Harris slammed Trump as “irresponsible” for questioning the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago.

“It’s just highly irresponsible of anyone who calls themselves a leader and certainly anyone who represents the United States of America to engage in rhetoric for the sake of some political objective that can result in harm to law enforcement officers and agents,” Harris said.

Former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), the onetime chair of the House Intelligence Committee from 2015 to 2019 and now the CEO of Trump’s Truth Social social media platform, told Breitbart News that Harris’ silence suggests her intention to replace Biden as president.

Secret’s Out: Key Development on Biden Visitor Logs in Documents Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Secret Service is “gathering” information on the heels of Republican senators demanding the agency turn over a list of “all individuals” who have visited locations where President Joe Biden’s classified documents have been found, the agency told the Washington Examiner.

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson wrote to the Secret Service on Monday in a letter first obtained by the Washington Examiner and requested the visitor logs. Now, the Secret Service said it is evaluating that letter and is “currently in the process of gathering” various information, as well as “working through appropriate channels” to locate what “may be responsive to Congressional inquiries.”

“We are in receipt of Senator Grassley’s letter and it is currently is being reviewed,” said Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret Service, adding that the agency doesn’t maintain “formal and comprehensive visitor logs for protectee residences.”

“What I mean by that is there is not a system of validated visitor logs like you find at the White House or other government facilities that fall under the Presidential Records Act,” he continued in an email to the Washington Examiner on Wednesday morning.

None Of Biden’s Excuses For Having Classified Documents Make Any Sense; When Will the FBI Search Hunter Biden’s Home for Classified Documents?

/3 Comments/in , /by

By The Federalist. With every new cache of classified documents discovered in Joe Biden’s possession, the president’s excuses become more farfetched.

Biden’s defenders like to stress that the president has “cooperated” with investigators. No harm, no foul. Ana Navarro of “The View” argues “it’s very important to understand the difference between cooperation and obstruction.” Neal Katyal snarks that it’s “amazing how you don’t need a search warrant when a President is actually willing to invite investigators inside.” . . .

Which brings us to another pervasive defense of the president, which asserts that Biden had “immediately” handed over documents found in his “think tank,” just as protocol dictates. No harm, no foul. This claim is also preposterous. All we know for sure is that Biden was in possession of classified documents, including some top secret ones, for at least six years — perhaps decades, since some of the documents date back to his time in the Senate. That, at best, points to a pattern of mishandling documents over many years, not a single filing mistake. That is true regardless of what Trump did or didn’t do.

Even if we allow that the first small batch of classified documents was accidentally stashed in his Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, why did it take six weeks for Biden’s lawyers — who have no security clearance — to search the president’s garage and “adjacent rooms”? If they really believed that the documents found in Penn Biden documents were just a weird oversight, why start rummaging through boxes in the president’s garage? For that matter, why did Biden tap lawyers, rather than interns or movers or aides, to search reams of files and folders that had been sitting in drawers — allegedly undisturbed for years — at Biden’s “think tank” in the first place? Did a government or law enforcement agency contact Biden in connection to those documents? . . .

The problem, though, is that the White House claimed on numerous occasions that Biden had no inkling that classified documents were in his possession. Let’s say the president never opened any of those documents to assist in writing his memories or to teach his class (the nine times he showed up for a million-dollar gig). It is highly improbable that aides packing these boxes, divvying up documents into specific categories for Biden’s use, would not have noticed six “items” potentially filled with classified documents. Surely you remember the leaked picture of marked classified documents splayed across the floor at Mar-a-Lago?

When Will the FBI Search Hunter Biden’s Home for Classified Documents?

By The Hill. Another day, another tranche of classified documents found at one of President Biden’s homes or former office. Republicans are demanding visitor logs for Biden’s home in Wilmington, Del., though the White House says there aren’t any. But there’s one person we can be sure visited the president’s homes and possibly his Penn Biden Center office: son Hunter Biden. So, when will the FBI start searching his home?

We know Hunter has engaged in lots of mostly shady foreign deals, trafficking on his name and connections rather than his expertise, which has brought him millions of dollars. So, he has a motive for wanting access to certain classified documents.

And we know Hunter lives very well. As The Hill reported last April, “Hunter Biden, who is under federal investigation for his foreign business dealings, has been staying in Malibu throughout his father’s presidency, spending $20,000 of his own wealth each month to rent out a mansion, according to the report.”

And there’s a third reason why Hunter might be interested in classified documents. CNN reports, “Among the items from Joe Biden’s time as vice president discovered in a private office last fall are 10 classified documents including US intelligence memos and briefing materials that covered topics including Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom, according to a source familiar with the matter.” (Emphasis added.)

CNN adds that the documents were dated between 2013 and 2016. Would Hunter have had an interest in classified Ukrainian documents at that time? (Read more from “When Will the FBI Search Hunter Biden’s Home for Classified Documents?” HERE)
