Quick and Dirty List of Biden’s International/National Crimes

FBI Director Christopher Wray will allow congressional investigators to view a document related to alleged criminal activity involving President Joe Biden.

Last month, the House Oversight Committee demanded that Wray turn over a copy of an FBI document that allegedly shows evidence that Biden, as vice president, was engaged in a “criminal bribery scheme” that involves “an exchange of money for policy decisions.”

According to Fox News, the FBI will bring the document in question to Capitol Hill on Monday. Only House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member on the committee, will be allowed to view the document. The document will be kept in a SCIF, a secured environment for viewing sensitive — most often, highly classified — information.

The following is a list of crimes we know of. This list deals with peddling political influence on behalf of other nations and can be referred to by the Department of Justice as Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations–which was how Paul Manafort was convicted.

Business-Related Crimes

• FARA Violations
  • FARA requires those in the United States working on behalf of a foreign government or political party to register with the Justice Department and keep them aware of their activities. (Foreign Agents Registration Act | Frequently Asked Questions | Justice.gov)
  • Paul Manafort is the most notable recent case involving this law, as he was charged with failing to register with FARA as an agent of Ukraine and was sentenced to a total of 73 months in prison, including the maximum of 60 months for conspiracy to violate FARA. (Foreign Agents Registration Act | Recent FARA Cases | Justice.gov)
  • When Manafort was charged, outlets noted this law was wildly underenforced. (Vox)
  • Hunter Biden and his business associates, Devon Archer and James Bulger, violated the FARA when they acted on Bohai Harvest Equity Investment Fund’s (BHR) behalf in an ill-fated effort to secure Bill Clinton as a speaker for an event, which required registration with the DOJ. Indeed, the 533 FARA guidelines could not be more clear about this scenario: one must register as a foreign agent when one “[a]cts within the United States as a public relations counsel, publicity agent, information service employee, or political consultant” for a “foreign principal.” In this case, the foreign principal 534 sought—through Hunter and his business partners—access to a former U.S. president. (Marco Polo Report, p. 104)
• Burisma
  • In late 2013 and into 2014, anti-corruption protests erupted in Kyiv, eventually leading to Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing the country and abdicating in February 2014.
  • On April 16, 2014, Joe Biden met with his son’s business partner, Devon Archer. Five days later, Joe Biden visited Ukraine and the following day, April 22, 2014, Devon Archer joined the board of Burisma. (HSGAC Senate Report)
  • Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, had $23M seized from London bank accounts on April 28 on the pretense that it was embezzled money related to Yanukovych and his associates. (HSGAC Senate Report)
  • On May 12, 2014 Hunter Biden joined the board.
  • In April 2023, former White House stenographer Mike McCormick revealed that Joe Biden went to Ukraine to push fracking just days after Hunter joined the Burisma board, knowing Hunter would then get rich off it. (DailyMail Article) (Fox News Video)
  • From 2014 on, Hunter Biden and his associates enjoyed millions in cash flow from Ukraine, presumably in exchange for Burisma avoiding harsh criticism and/or investigation from the U.S. government. (HSGAC Senate Report)
  • “Biden’s Secret E-mails,” the New York Post’s widely censored story, narrated how Joe Biden had, contrary to his claims, met with a high-ranking Burisma official in 2015 and then, eight months later, flew to Kyiv and threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless Ukraine fired Viktor Shokin, its top prosecutor who was pursuing Burisma for corruption.

• Peddling Influence in China
  • In total, Chinese elites have paid roughly $31 million to Hunter and the Biden’s. (NY Post)
  • Hunter Biden’s involvement in the Chinese investment fund Bohai Harvest RST netted him an estimated $20 million. Hunter even introduced Joe Biden to a company executive in December 2013.
  • Hunter conducted other multi-million dollar deals with CCP-linked groups like Burnham Asset Management and CEFC China Energy.
  • Of special interest is Hunter Biden’s relationship with CEFC and Ye Jianming.
    • In 2017, one of Ye Jianming’s “top lieutenants,” Patrick Ho, was arrested on bribery charges by the FBI for offering money to African officials in exchange for energy deals.
    • He immediately called James Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, looking for Hunter Biden.
    • Hunter was soon hired by CEFC to be Patrick Ho’s defense attorney despite his little experience in criminal defense. CEFC paid Hunter a $1 million fee. Hunter referred to Patrick Ho as “the f–ing spy chief of China,” according to leaked audio obtained by RealClearPolitics.
  • Hunter Biden also allegedly used a mole in the FBI to alert him of possible probes into Chinese deals. (NY Post)
• In Summary
  • Hunter’s actions show a clear pattern of acting on behalf of associates in other countries and peddling influence and access to his father while not registering under FARA.
  • Joe Biden met with at least 14 of Hunter’s business associates while Vice President. (Fox News)
  • Furthermore, records show a pattern of Hunter Biden repeatedly meeting with foreign officials and thereafter meeting with his father to follow up. (NY Post)
  • Multiple experts have agreed that Hunter likely violated FARA. (NY Post)

UPDATE: the FBI has confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-VP Joe Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme. Anything short of producing these documents to @GOPoversight is not in compliance with Rep. Comer’s subpoena.
