“Biden’s unwillingness to confront a man whom State [Department] officials considered to be an ‘odious oligarch’ demonstrated a lack of leadership, but also raises a serious question about why Vice President Biden would avoid linking Zlochevsky with corruption,” the report says.
The report — which relies in part on information contained in 14 “confidential” reports — alleges that Hunter Biden and other Biden family members “cashed in” on Joe Biden’s vice presidency through a “vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the globe.”
In addition to his Burisma board seat, the report says, Hunter Biden profited from a “financial relationship” that he and associate Devon Archer had with Russia’s richest woman, Elena Baturina, former wife of the late Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov.
In 2014, Baturina wired $3.5 million to a bank account held by Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, the report says.
Baturina also sent 11 wires totaling more than $390,000 to a company called BAK USA LLC, with nine transactions — amounting to about $240,000 — transferred through a Rosemont Seneca Thornton account, the report says.
BAK USA was a start-up, computer tablet manufacturing company in Buffalo that Gov. Cuomo repeatedly touted as a “success” for his “START-UP NY” development program before the company abruptly shut down in 2018, filing for bankruptcy protection the following year.
The report alleges that Hunter Biden also had “business associations” with “Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the People’s Liberation Army,” including energy tycoon Ye Jianming, who was jailed in 2018 on suspicions of bribery, and Ye’s associate Gongwen Dong.
“Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow,” the report says, adding that Hunter Biden and Gongwen “opened a bank account…to fund a $100,000 global spending spree with [Joe Biden’s brother] James Biden and [James’ wife] Sara Biden.”
The report notes that its findings are based on “documents and testimony from US agencies and officials, not a Russian disinformation campaign as our Democratic colleagues have falsely stated.”
It also accuses John Kerry of having “falsely claimed” to reporters last year that he didn’t know Hunter Biden had been named to the Burisma board when Kerry was secretary of state under Obama.

“I had no knowledge about any of that. None. No,” Kerry said, according to an account posted on Twitter at the time.
The report cites an email sent to Kerry’s chief of staff on May 13, 2014 — one day after Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board — by Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz, to inform him of the development.
Heinz, who was Hunter Biden’s business partner, also wanted to “distance himself” from the decision, according to the report.
“Moreover, in May 2014, Secretary Kerry’s chief of staff, David Wade, briefed him about press inquiries specifically relating to Heinz, Hunter Biden, and Burisma,” the report says.
Earlier this week, Biden’s campaign said the Senate Republicans’ probe was based on “a long-disproven, hard-core right-wing conspiracy theory” and a spokesman on Wednesday accused Johnson of “diverting” attention from Trump’s “catastrophically botched” handling of the COVID-19 pandemic."
can anyone imagine if that word "Trump" was exchanged for Biden or Kerry in this scam?
And yet the NYT says nothing was found. No wrong doing.
Thanks Tim,
When I read the NYT article yesterday I just laughed.
Political figures have long used their families to route power and benefits for their own self-enrichment. In my new book, “Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite,” one particular politician — Joe Biden — emerges as the king of the sweetheart deal, with no less than five family members benefiting from his largesse, favorable access and powerful position for commercial gain. In Biden’s case, these deals include foreign partners and, in some cases, even US taxpayer dollars.
The Biden family’s apparent self-enrichment involves five family members: Joe’s son Hunter, son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and sister Valerie.
When this subject came up in 2019, Biden declared, “I never talked with my son or my brother or anyone else — even distant family — about their business interests. Period.”
As we will see, this is far from the case …

Those positions, it turns out, have been lucrative to extended family members of Joe Biden as well, according to a new book, Profiles in Corruption by Peter Schweizer, who’s previous book detailed Hunter Biden’s work on the board of a Ukrainian gas company - a topic that’s remained in the crosshairs of critics, including President Donald Trump.
Biden is spending a great deal of time trying to convince us that President Trump thinks that people in the military are "losers and suckers" and usually sites the record of one of his sons Beau Biden.
Then, each time he gets very upset and angry and acts(act is the operative work-fake it) greatly offended that Trump would do this to our military.
Funny thing about Joe himself and the military that he fails to mention in his story bashing Trump:
"He was 6 feet tall and had an athlete’s build. He played football in high school and was active in sports throughout college. He spent one summer as a lifeguard at a local pool.
But after he graduated college in the spring of 1968 and became eligible for the draft and —possibly — combat duty in Vietnam, he received a diagnosis that let him avoid military service.
No, not bone spurs. Asthma.
And his name was Joe Biden.
Just a few months before President Donald Trump received his now-infamous diagnosis of “bone spurs in the heels,” former high school football star Biden got the same 1-Y draft deferment for “asthma as a teenager.” It was one of five deferments Biden received (the same number as notorious GOP “draft dodger” Dick Cheney) and allowed him to avoid being drafted at the height of the war. The year 1968 was one of the bloodiest of the Vietnam conflict with 296,406 Americans drafted into military service — the second-highest during the war."
metmike: I would not even bring this up if the dems/Biden had not been bashing Trump on his draft dodging..............while their candidate, doing the exact same thing gets a complete pass?
Probably the reason the republicans/Trump don't go after him for doing this is because Trump was in fact a draft dodger(so was Mohammed Ali) so it would in fact be hypocritical and many people will look the other way for Biden but think the worst when it comes to Trump.
