Authenticated documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop reveal that Joe Biden had several email aliases, such as:
The last of those addresses was a government account, as evidenced by the domain “pci.gov”.
On June 7, 2015, Kathy Chung, a government-paid assistant of then-Vice President Biden, sent an email to his government alias and to Hunter with the subject line, “See below. These are all cell numbers.”
The email, sent to Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov and hbiden@rosemontseneca.com, contains the cell phone numbers of these 25 high-level current and former government officials that wielded an enormous amount of power:
President Clinton
Sec. Clinton
Sen. Dodd

Given that Chung was a federal employee who worked directly for VP Biden, there can be little doubt that Joe ordered her to give this information to Hunter. The fact that Chung sent this to Joe’s government alias strongly suggests that she wanted him to know she did what he asked without leaving an obvious record of it.
This goldmine of influential contacts was given to Hunter while he was being paid at least $1 million per year by the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The expressed purpose of these payments—as detailed in verified emails from Hunter’s laptop—was to get “high-ranking US officials” to convince “Ukrainian officials” to “close down” all criminal cases against the company’s owner.
The owner—a notoriously corrupt oligarch named Nikolai Zlochevskyi—had his London bank accounts seized by British officials in a 2014 money laundering investigation.
All Ukrainian criminal cases against the oligarch were dropped in 2016 after Joe Biden used the threat of withdrawing U.S. aid to force the president of Ukraine to fire the nation’s chief prosecutor.
Many journalists and “fact checkers” deny that the prosecutor who Joe Biden got fired was investigating the oligarch who was enriching Hunter, but this fact is irrefutably proven by validated emails from Hunter’s laptop.
The first email in this exchange was sent by a Burisma executive who dined with Hunter and Joe Biden at a restaurant near the White House in April 2015. This was less than two months before Joe passed the cell phone numbers of high-level U.S. officials to Hunter.
Seven months later on November 2, 2015, the same Burisma executive sent an email to Hunter and his partners in which he made clear that he was tired of waiting for action. In this email, the executive:
Hunter’s partners then discussed the email among themselves while making clear that anonymous U.S. officials would handle the matter, and Hunter needed to “deliver that message” to Burisma. In these smoking gun emails, they wrote:
Hunter then replied to Burisma, “Looking forward to getting started on this,” and Joe Biden proceeded to do exactly what the emails stated, word-for-word:
Given the clear words of those emails, the actions of Joe Biden align with textbook definitions of bribery, extortion, and obstruction of justice.
Some have claimed that Joe Biden was innocent in this affair because Hunter told Burisma that a public relations firm called Blue Star Strategies would “deliver” what Burisma wanted. This was an obvious smokescreen, as proven by the following facts:
Independently confirming those emails in vivid detail, an informant reported to the FBI in June 2020 that he personally spoke with the oligarch several times in 2015–2019, and the oligarch stated that:
Adding to the proof of his culpability, VP Biden’s assistant used his email alias to escort the cell phone numbers of 25 high-level government power brokers to Hunter. Again, this occurred while Burisma was paying Hunter at least $1 million per year to convince top U.S. officials to close down all criminal cases against the company’s owner.
