WASHINGTON, DC. During the Obama-Biden Admin we tracked some obvious scandals and controversies. We collected and reviewed over 22,000 major event files over the eight years of Obama-Biden, plus another 4,500 files on election events.
We are still learning about events that occurred under Obama-Biden. One event that still most media and the DOJ seems to refuse to investigate is when VP Joe Biden was President Obama’s “Point Person” in-charge of U.S.-Ukrainian relations.
Biden’s son, Robert “Hunter” Biden coincidentally received some $1.3 Million to sit on the board of Burisma Holdings – a Ukrainian natural gas company where Hunter Biden had no prior experience in that industry.
Hunter’s then business partner Devon Archer also sat on the board of Burisma Holdings. Archer was also tied to Hunter Biden with the development of Rosemont Seneca, a DC investment management company.
In October 2020, a court reinstated Archer’s conviction for securities fraud and conspiracy.
Hunter acknowledged that it would have been difficult to sit on various company boards if he wasn’t the son of a VP; and that he would “probably not” had those positions (thus received all this money) otherwise.
It’s not illegal for private companies or foreign governments to pay people ridiculous sums-of-money for doing little or nothing.
Here’s the Concern for Joe Biden.
Vice President Biden “funneled” $1.8 Billion of U.S. tax dollars to Ukraine. Joe Biden threatened to withhold the money unless the Ukrainian government fired a particular prosecutor investigating his son’s affiliated gas company.
Questions needed to be answered and investigated:
1. What did these foreign governments, private foreign person(s), and foreign entities receive for these large sums of money?
2. Was any action taken by U.S. officials, or U.S. official policy matters taken as a result before or after Hunter or anyone in the Biden family received, or had a beneficiary interest in any such foreign money?
In other words, did any U.S. officials use (abuse) the power of their office for (a) personal financial gain; and/or (b) for the material benefit or gain of a related-person(s)? If so, this kind of action would be a crime under 5 CFR § 2635.702.
“An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations.”
— 5 CFR § 2635.702 (Source: Cornell Law School)
To help answer some of these questions, we can easily turn to Vice President Joe Biden’s own admission of using (abusing) his office in official U.S. capacity, to remove a prosecutor investigating the Ukrainian gas company at the time Hunter Biden was sitting on the company’s board.

It appears that Joe Biden’s video admission could also fall within this:
“Inducement or coercion of benefits. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity.”
— 5 CFR § 2635.702 (a) (Source: Cornell Law School)
Hunter Biden himself was not under investigation at the time. However a prosecutor conducting an investigation will eventually look at all financial transactions, and connections tied to that investigation. In the event something were to be found, that could become an issue for any of those associated persons.
So if you could just somehow get rid of the prosecutor, no more investigation. VP Joe Biden made that happen, and threatened to withhold U.S. aid if a prosecutor in a foreign government wasn’t removed.
Hunter Biden’s Business Partner Already in Prison.
In 2019, the U.S. DOJ sentenced Bevan Cooney, another former business partner of Hunter Biden to 30 months in prison.
“Bevan Cooney was part of a conspiracy that orchestrated a complex and corrupt scheme to defraud a Native American community and the clients of two asset management firms.”
— Audrey Strauss, Attorney for the United States, U.S. Dept. of Justice, SDNY.
Apparently Mr. Cooney may have been upset for taking the hit to prison. Does Mr. Cooney know more than he has told to U.S. prosecutors?
26,000 emails.
For some reason, Mr. Cooney provided access to his 26,000 emails on a G-Mail account to Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer. Mr. Cooney has reportedly given written permission for those emails to be released to the public.
“According to Breitbart, the emails outline how Biden used his father’s name to attract business, including with Yelena Baturina, the ex-wife of the mayor of Moscow.”
— Washington Times, Oct. 19, 2020.
Hunter Biden reportedly received $3.5 Million from billionaire Elena Baturina; the wife of Yury Luzhkov – the former (now deceased) 18-year mayor in Moscow, Russia.
According to a report published by the The Guardian, Baturina and her former husband are accused of having strong criminal ties. That corruption report claim was known to the Obama-Biden Admin in 2010. The couple denied these claims.
What Hunter did for this Russian money is unknown.
The former VP Biden said in 2019 he has never spoken to his son, Hunter about his business deals.
On the surface it kind of looks like Joe Biden may have used his office to benefit Hunter?
With 26,000 emails potentially released to the public; this could get interesting.
