America First Legal has dug through the National Archives to get its hand on some emails that are rather interesting.
They show how worried the Obama administration was over the appointment of Hunter Biden to the Burisma Board.
I could also say that it hints that Biden knew more about Hunter’s business dealings than they have been letting on this point.
Sound Panicked
This all got started when a Russian media outlet reached out to Joe’s office about the appointment of Hunter Biden to the Burisma board.
A Russian journalist gushed praise on Hunter and Joe, then asked for an interview with Joe Biden, but it was never granted.
Then ABC News’ Ann Compton reached out to Biden’s office asking for a comment on the matter.
Compton emailed Kendra Barkoff, who was Joe Biden’s spokesperson at the time.
Barkoff responded to the initial inquiry, clearly trying to protect Biden.
She wrote, “The lawyers weren’t consulted because Hunter is a private citizen and the VP has no association with this company.”
Compton would not back off, responding, “OFF the record doesn’t help. I would however be willing to use this with or without quoting YOU.”
Barkoff then appeared to reach out to Hunter Biden directly on the matter to alert him that the news agencies were digging around.
Hunter responded to her, stating,” ‘What exactly are they asking? For the time being I’d just refer them to my office.
“FYI I joined the board of Burisma Holdings Ltd….an independent/private natural gas producer in Ukraine along with the former president of Poland.
“I think the press release is on their web site.”
Fox News takes a deep look…
Now, that is a pretty interesting exchange in terms of what Biden’s office knew as well as the clear state of panic that they seemed to know that something was amiss here.
I am sure this is far from the last we are going to hear about this.
