Newly-released emails from JOE BIDEN’s tenure as vice president show his aides scrambling to respond in 2014 to ethics questions about his son joining the board of a Ukrainian energy company. They also reveal how the White House kept close tabs on reports that Hunter Biden was forced out of the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine.
The messages — which were released last week by the National Archives in response to a lawsuit filed by America First Legal, a group founded by DONALD TRUMP adviser STEPHEN MILLER — suggest that Hunter Biden’s decision to work for Burisma blindsided the White House at the time. …
The Archives doesn’t respect “off the record” designations often customary in exchanges with the press, so we can see Barkoff’s response to ABC’s ANN COMPTON pressing for confirmation on whether Hunter Biden consulted the White House counsel’s office before taking the Burisma gig.
[‘Off the record’ won’t help at all when pushing back on the clear impropriety of having Joe Biden engaging with Kyiv at the same time his son was pursuing business interests there. Now that the FOIA demand is opening up these archives, get ready for the freshest look at the Biden Inc grift since the laptop story got suppressed by social-media platforms. — Ed]
