Key Findings From Senate Report into Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden Cries When Asked About Ukraine Corruption - YouTube

U.S. Senators Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, released a report that revealed millions of dollars in questionable financial transactions between Hunter Biden and his associates and foreign individuals, including the wife of the former mayor of Moscow and individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

These were just some of the findings from their investigation into potential conflicts of interest arising from Hunter Biden accepting a position on the board of, and taking millions of dollars from, Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company with a long-standing reputation for corruption, while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s handling of Ukraine policy. 

Findings from the chairmen’s investigation include:

  • In early 2015 former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent raised concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board.  Kent’s concerns went unaddressed and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to his colleagues, “Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.”
  • In October 2015, senior State Department official Amos Hochstein raised concerns with Vice President Biden, as well as with Hunter Biden, that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine.
  • Hunter Biden was serving on Burisma’s board (supposedly consulting on corporate governance and transparency) when Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly paid a $7 million bribe to officials serving under Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Vitaly Yarema, to “shut the case against Zlochevsky.” George Kent testified that this bribe occurred in December 2014 (seven months after Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board), and, after learning about it, he and the resident legal adviser reported this allegation to the FBI.
  • In addition to the over four million dollars paid by Burisma to Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer, for membership on the board, Hunter, his family, and Archer received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds.
  • Devon Archer received $142,300 from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan, purportedly for a car, the same day Vice President Joe Biden appeared with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arsemy Yasenyuk and addressed Ukrainian legislators in Kyiv regarding Russia’s actions in Crimea.
  • Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina. Ms. Baturina is the wife (widow) of the former mayor of Moscow.
  • Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and People’s Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in questionable transactions. 
  • Hunter Biden opened a bank account with Gongwen Dong that financed a $100,000 global spending spree with James Biden and Sara Biden.
  • Hunter Biden also moved millions of dollars from his law firm to James Biden’s and Sara Biden’s firm.  Upon being questioned about the transaction, Sara Biden refused to provide supporting documentation and information to more clearly explain the activity. The bank subsequently closed the account.
  • Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an “Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”

As outlined in Senate resolution 70, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has the express authority “to study or investigate... the efficiency and economy of operations of all branches of the government, including the possible existence of… corruption or unethical practices… [and] conflicts of interest.” The Senate Finance Committee has broad jurisdiction over the United States Government and, the Department of Treasury and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which includes oversight jurisdiction over potential financial crimes.

    • Under our Constitution, the law is always in our hands. Unfortunately, too many people want someone else to do everything for them. If one accepts the tenet that all of man's justice is flawed and inadequate in His sight, it is a little easier to have patience and faith that the efforts of those who care to do something about will ultimately be successful.

  • So all these investigations go on and on, and prove many things, but nothing is ever done.  I say defend these investigative teams and send the investigators home jobless unless they get pro active and bring charges on the perpetrators.  Why should we the tax payor be paying for inept investigations that prove everything but do nothing.  This inaction is disgusting 

    • I meant defund not defend

  • This will be interesting to follow. Wondering if the "New Royals" that is any person related to a governance position holder will be held to the same standard as the average American? Our laws which are based on old English law gave people of Royal lineage many liberties not affoprded to the average serfs.Looks as if these old laws will apply in this case. My bet is that they all walk with a little slap on the bumb.

    • Yeap, we traded one tyrant (King George) 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants one mile away... Time to take a page from French History... anyone for an American Bastille Day?

    • Heads will roll

    • Yep, that sounds more like a BLM or Antifa call for revolution than using our constitutional order and the peaceful will of the people to discourage lawless miscreants. France is not one of my favorite places, and it is important to note how many "constitutions" that they have gone through since their bloody revolution while ours has persisted and prospered.

    • I was refering to the Battle waged against King Louis of Franch in 1789 as the French took a page from the American Revolution to cast off tyranny.  We need another Bastelle Day in the USA to cast of they tyranny of DC... The Constitutional venues for reform have all proven worthless to date and the Left is busy building up to a final solution and the patriot is not included.  Don't think for one minute that the current pandemic can't be used to isolate, lock down and remove millions of counter reovlutionaires from teh Public Square... in the name of a quarantine and our nation's health.  According to Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers... upwards of 20 million US Citizens need to disapper to secure a Socialist Government from a counter revolution.

      p/s we are watching insurrection and 'Revolution' as we engage in this forum...  If we lose the election and Pres. Trump is removed from office what do you think will happen with the likes of AOC and Harris running the government... will they use the Pandemic to quarantine, lock down, any counter revolution?  What about the aged and the disabled what will happent to them... check out how NY handled the aged and disabled... and you may have an idea.

    • Would'nt that be a great resoloution. 

       

    • The cross hairs will be on them
