BOOM: New Hunter Biden & Burisma Documents Surface… And They’re Bad News For Democrats
Remember, the complaint about Trump is that he’s ‘out to get’ a political rival. If it turns out that he has exposed a real corruption problem, their whole narrative falls apart.
The President IS after all, not only the Commander-in-chief, but he also has oversight of the Justice Department.
Biden had openly bragged about influencing Ukranian law enforcement staffers and had threatened withholding American dollars if he didn’t get it. If it turns out that the reasons Trump was asking questions about Biden’s son were entirely justified, that changes the whole impeachment narrative in a big way.
And new documents have surfaced that put Burisma’s relationship to the Bidens — and the Obama administration — in a very different light.

It’s the kind of report that could get #QuidProJoe trending.
During that February 2016 contact, a U.S. representative for Burisma Holdings sought a meeting with Undersecretary of State Catherine A. Novelli to discuss ending the corruption allegations against the Ukrainian firm where Hunter Biden worked as a board member, according to memos obtained under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. (I filed that suit this summer with the help of the public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation.)
Just three weeks before Burisma’s overture to State, Ukrainian authorities raided the home of the oligarch who owned the gas firm and employed Hunter Biden, a signal the long-running corruption probe was escalating in the middle of the U.S. presidential election.
Hunter Biden’s name, in fact, was specifically invoked by the Burisma representative as a reason the State Department should help, according to a series of email exchanges among U.S. officials trying to arrange the meeting. The subject line for the email exchanges read simply “Burisma.”

Well, THAT is an interesting timeline, now isn’t it?
But the records do indicate that Hunter Biden’s fellow American board member at Burisma, Devon Archer, secured a meeting on March 2, 2016 with Secretary of State John Kerry. In addition to serving on the Burisma board, Archer and Hunter Biden were partners at an American firm known as Rosemont Seneca.
“Devon Archer coming to see S today at 3pm – need someone to meet/greet him at C Street,” an email from Kerry’s office manager reads. “S” is a shorthand frequently used in State emails to describe the Secretary of State. The memos don’t state the reason for the meeting.
…In an interview with ABC News last month, Hunter Biden said he believed he had done “nothing wrong at all” while working with Burisma but “was it poor judgment to be in the middle of something that is…a swamp in — in — in many ways? Yeah.”
Whatever the subject of the Archer-Kerry meeting, its existence is certain to spark interest. That’s because Secretary Kerry’s stepson, Christopher Heinz, had been a business partner with both Archer and Hunter Biden at the Rosemont Seneca investment firm in the United States.
Heinz, however, chose not to participate in the Burisma dealings. In fact, he wrote an email to his stepfather’s top aides in May 2014, pointedly distancing himself from the decision by Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to join Burisma’s board.

It’s not a ‘smear campaign against a rival’ if Trump’s question really IS exposing corruption and abuse of power, is it?
