On Thursday, Intelligence officials and former White House officials told the Washington Examiner the “professional tie” is Joe Biden. The ‘whistleblower’ worked with Joe Biden in the executive branch when he was Vice President. “This person, after working with Biden, may feel defensive towards him because he is feels he [Biden] is being falsely attacked. Maybe he is even talking to Biden’s staff,” a former Trump admin official told the Washington Examiner. “Maybe it is innocent, maybe not.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/joe-biden-worked-with-whistleblower-when-he-was-vice-president-officials-revealThe 2020 Democratic candidate with whom the CIA whistleblower had a “professional” tie is Joe Biden, according to intelligence officers and former White House officials. Lawyers for the whistleblower said he had worked only “in the executive branch.” The Washington Examiner has established that he is a career CIA analyst who was detailed to the National Security Council at the White House and has since left. On Sept. 26, the New York Times reported that he was a CIA officer. On Oct. 4, the newspaper added that he “was detailed to the National Security Council at one point.” A retired CIA officer toldthe Washington Examiner: “From everything we know about the whistleblower and his work in the executive branch then, there is absolutely no doubt he would have been working with Biden when he was vice president.” As an experienced CIA official on the NSC with the deep knowledge of Ukraine that he demonstrated in his complaint, it is probable that the whistleblower briefed Biden and likely that he accompanied him on Air Force Two during at least one of the six visits the 2020 candidate made to the country. A former Trump administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said Biden’s work on foreign affairs brought him into close proximity with the whistleblower either at the CIA or when he was detailed to the White House.

The Obama administration knew about Hunter Biden’s position on the Burisma Board. Hunter landed the lucrative position two months after he was kicked out of the US Navy for drug use.
In fact the Obama Administration was confronted about Hunter Biden’s position on the Ukrainian Burisma Board in 2014.
State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki was asked about Hunter Biden’s appointment to the board during a press conference. Hunter Biden had no experience in gas or oil and did not speak Ukrainian. He was paid from $50,000 to $150,000 a month for sitting on the board.
Reporter: Does this building diplomatically have any concerns about potential perceptions about conflict of interest or cronyism which is what you often accused the Russians of doing?
Jen Psaki: “Um, no he’s a private citizen.”
Reporter: OK, then so you consider the Russian oligarchs who control, or the Ukranian oligarchs who control this, they’re all private citizens as well?
Jen Psaki: They certainly, I wouldn’t put them in the same category.
Reporter: I’m not suggesting that it should be in the same category. But I’m wondering if there are concerns from this building about the perception, about how the Russians and-or the Ukrainians would perceive the involvement of the son of a vice president of the United States, especially given this issue?
Jen Psaki: No, there are not.
The Obama administration had NO CONCERN that Hunter Biden was sitting on a Ukrainian board making over $50,000 a month for being the vice president’s son. What a bunch of crooks.

theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/10/10/if-accurate-the-impeachment-game-is-over-fake-whistleblower-lawyers-now-retreat-from-testimonial-appearance/The Wall Street Journal is reporting the anonymous gossipers’ lawyers are now requesting official impeachment testimony by letters not an in-person appearance. If this is accurate such a request speaks directly to the abject stupidity of the claim: www.wsj.com/articles/ukraine-whistleblower-may-not-testify-in-person-11570738009WASHINGTON—Lawyers for the CIA officer whose whistleblower complaint helped ignite an impeachment inquiry into President Trump have asked Congress whether their client could submit testimony in writing instead of appearing in person, according to people familiar with the matter. The request reflects concerns about whether the whistleblower could testify to Democrats and Republicans without revealing his identity, and fears that doing so would lead to it being publicly leaked, jeopardizing his personal safety. The intelligence committees haven’t yet responded to the inquiry about potential written testimony, the people said. Spokeswomen for the House and Senate intelligence committees didn’t respond to requests to comment. (read more)

Rep. Devin Nunes: It was well known. We’ve had both former officials and current officials come and tell us that this was a very partisan ambassador. This was somebody who was not only supporting the Clintons, when Clinton was running, telling the people that Clinton was going to win, prognosticating about it. But also once Trump won was badmouthing the Trump administration in Ukraine, to Ukrainians and State Department staff… We would want to get her on the record, did she support the Trump administration? Did she really say these negative things about the Trump administration? Was she looking at journalists? Was she monitoring journalists in the United States? These are all questions that we want answers to… My guess here is that this is someone who the Democrats have been coordinating with. Let’s not pretend that this ambassador hasn’t been working with the Democrats. That’s been happening.

thegreggjarrett.com/clapper-associate-assisted-with-whistleblower-complaint/The former Inspector General for the Intelligence Community, Charles McCullough, who worked under President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, assisted and advised the Ukrainian-call “whistleblowers”. McCullough, is a partnered attorney at Compass Rose Legal Group, and assisted Andrew Bakaj, a former staffer of both Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton. With James Clapper admitting that President Obama was the one who ordered the intel community to start “compiling” information to launch the “witch hunt”, this new revelation should not be that surprising. This just adds to another example of the deep state showing their uncontrollable hatred toward President Trump. My new book, Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History, shows how Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller in an act of vengeance against Trump, not because the evidence or law merited a special counsel. Rosenstein, who was being harshly criticized for engineering the firing of James Comey, blamed Trump. He retaliated by naming a special counsel to investigate the President.

And now we find out that Adam Schiff’s aides worked with this anti-Trump CIA operative at the White House. The Washington Examiner reported: www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/adam-schiffs-staff-includes-2-aides-who-worked-with-whistleblower-at-white-houseHouse Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff recruited two former National Security Council aides who worked alongside the CIA whistleblower at the NSC during the Obama and Trump administrations, the Washington Examiner has learned. Abigail Grace, who worked at the NSC until 2018, was hired in February, while Sean Misko, an NSC aide until 2017, joined Schiff’s committee staff in August, the same month the whistleblower submitted his complaint. The whistleblower was an NSC official who worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and who has expertise in Ukraine, the Washington Examiner has reported. The complaint was already found to be full of incorrect information.

So, Schiff may not call the leaker to testify: www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-representative-adam-schiff-on-face-the-nation-october-13-2019/REP. SCHIFF: You know and I think initially, before the president started threatening the whistleblower, threatening others calling them traitors and spies and suggesting that you know we used to give the death penalty to traitors and spies and maybe we should think about that again. Yes we were interested in having the whistleblower come forward. Our primary– MARGARET BRENNAN: Not anymore? REP. SCHIFF: Well our primary interest right now is making sure that that person is protected. Indeed, now there’s more than one whistleblower, that they are protected. And given that we already have the call record, we don’t need the whistleblower who wasn’t on the call to tell us what took place during the call. We have the best evidence of that. We do want to make sure that we identify other evidence that is pertinent to the withholding of the military support, the effort to cover this up by hiding this in a classified computer system. We want to make sure that we uncover the full details about the conditionality of either the military aid or that meeting with Ukraine’s president. It may not be necessary to take steps that might reveal the whistleblower’s identity to do that. And we’re going to make sure we protect that whistleblower. MARGARET BRENNAN: You know who was on that July 25th call? You know all the participants? REP. SCHIFF: I can’t say that I do. But we now know what took place on that call. We are bringing in witnesses this coming week from the National Security Council, other State Department officials, to find out what they can tell us about the conditionality of this vital military assistance to an ally. The conditionality of this vital meeting between the two presidents and the president’s effort to dig up dirt on his opponent. MARGARET BRENNAN: Quickly, do you regret saying that we, the committee, weren’t in touch with the whistleblower? REP. SCHIFF: I should have been much more clear and I said so the minute it was brought to my attention that I was referring to the fact that when the whistleblower filed the complaint, we had not heard from the whistleblower. We wanted to bring the whistleblower in at that time. But I should’ve been much more clear about that.

www.cbsnews.com/news/mbna-paid-bidens-son-as-biden-backed-bill/A son of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden was paid an undisclosed amount of money as a consultant by MBNA, the largest employer in Delaware, during the years the senator supported legislation that was promoted by the credit card industry and opposed by consumer groups. Barack Obama‘s presidential campaign said Biden helped forge a bipartisan compromise on the measure, which is now law and makes it harder for consumers to obtain bankruptcy protection in the courts. MBNA’s consulting payments to Hunter Biden, first reported by The New York Times, followed his departure in 2001 from the company, where he had been an executive.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) admitted on Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the reason for holding secret testimonies behind closed doors is to keep President Trump and his lawyers in the dark.
And so Schiff can selectively leak to the media…
“The Republicans say it’s behind closed doors so you can cherry pick information to be released,” CBS host Margaret Brennan said.
“The Republicans would like nothing better because they view their role as defending the president and being the president’s lawyers. If witnesses could tailor their testimony to other witnesses. They would love for one witness to be able to hear what another witness says so that they can know what they can give away and what they can’t give away,” Schiff said.
Schiff, who completely fabricated President Trump’s phone call to Zelensky during a congressional hearing, had the nerve to say he wants to prevent President Trump and his lawyers from ‘fabricating testimony to suit their interests.’
“There’s a reason why investigations and grand jury proceedings for example, and I think this is analogous to a grand jury proceeding, are done out of the public view initially. Now we may very well call some of the same witnesses or all the same witnesses in public hearings as well. But we want to make sure that we meet the needs of the investigation and not give the president or his legal minions the opportunity to tailor their testimony and in some cases fabricate testimony to suit their interests.” Schiff said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” with zero push back from host Margaret Brennan.

amp.dailycaller.com/2019/10/14/hunter-biden-still-holds-stake-in-chinese-private-equity-firm-his-business-partner-retains-supervisor-roleHunter Biden Still Holds Stake In Chinese Private Equity Firm. His Business Partner Retains Supervisor Role ....... Hunter Biden announced Sunday that he will resign from the board of a Chinese private equity firm called BHR Partners, but he’s still one of the two directors of the company that owns his 10% equity stake in the firm, business records show. The other director holds the role of supervisor at the Chinese firm. There has been no public indication that the second director, Eric Schwerin, would step down as supervisor. Hunter Biden traveled to China on Air Force Two in December 2013 and arranged for his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to shake hands with the CEO of BHR. At the time of the meeting, which Hunter Biden later described as social in nature, BHR was seeking to raise $1.5 billion from Chinese state-backed investors. The firm currently manages the equivalent of $2.1 billion in assets, according to its website. Hunter Biden’s lawyer, on behalf of his client, said in a statement Sunday that the younger Biden had served as an unpaid member of BHR’s board since its founding in 2013, and that it wasn’t until October 2017 that he invested $420,000 to obtain a 10% equity stake in the firm. But Hunter Biden did not invest in BHR Partners directly. Rather, Chinese business records reveal a company called Skaneateles LLC, which Hunter Biden controls alongside Schwerin, became a BHR shareholder on Oct. 23, 2017. On the same day, Schwerin became BHR’s supervisor, according to the firm’s business records. As BHR’s supervisor, Schwerin has the power to oversee the private equity firm’s financial affairs, supervise its board of directors and take measures to hold its directors accountable if they engage in actions that damage the firm’s interests, according to a Chinese law firm’s explainer of the role. Hunter Biden’s relationship with Schwerin dates back to at least 2008 when the pair served as lobbyists for Oldaker, Biden & Belair. Hunter Biden and Schwerin are the only two listed directors of Skaneateles, which was founded in 2008 for the purpose of holding “ownership interests in a number of consulting and investment firms,” according to its Washington D.C. business registration documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Sunday statement indicated that Hunter Biden would step down from BHR’s board of directors by the end of October, but absent from his statement was any mention of his business relationship with Schwerin, Schwerin’s role as BHR’s supervisor or whether Schwerin would be stepping away from either firm. In addition, Hunter Biden did not state whether he and Schwerin, through their company Skaneateles, would divest the 10% equity stake in BHR. (RELATED: Hunter Biden To Step Down From Board Of Chinese Firm) Despite these omissions, Joe Biden on Sunday lauded his son’s planned move to resign from BHR’s board of directors as a sign of his integrity. “The statement my son put out today, which I saw when he put it out — I was told it was going to be put out, I did not consult with him about what’s being put out — in fact represents the kind of man of integrity he is,” Biden, who is considered the frontrunner in the 2020 Democratic presidential race, said. Hunter Biden and Schwerin did not immediately respond to a request for comment by the DCNF, nor did the Biden campaign.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/15/hunter-biden-i-dont-have-to-open-my-kimono-to-discuss-50000-month-ukraine-salary/Partial transcript: AMY ROBACH: What were your qualifications to be on the board of Burisma? HUNTER BIDEN: I was vice-chairman of the board of Amtrak for five years. I was the chairman of the board of the U.N. World Food Programme. I was a lawyer for Boies Schiller Flexner, one of the most prestigious law firms in the world. ROBACH: You didn’t have any extensive knowledge about natural gas or Ukraine itself, though. BIDEN: No, but I think I had as much knowledge as anybody else that was on the board, if not more. ROBACH: In the list of reasons why you were on that board, you didn’t list the fact that you were the son of the vice president. What role do you think that played? BIDEN: I think it is impossible for me to be on the boards of any of the ones I mentioned without saying I’m the son of the vice president of the United States. ROBACH: You were paid $50,000 a month for your position? BIDEN: Look, I’m a private citizen. One thing I don’t have to do is sit here and open my kimono as it relates to how much money I make or made, or did or didn’t. It’s all been reported.
