[JustTheNews] Emails state Hunter Biden met, strategized with Blue Star Strategies executives who claimed they had no contact.
Hunter Biden memos on a laptop recovered by the FBI directly conflict with the congressional testimony of two key executives at a Democrat-connected firm who asserted they did not deal with the current president's son while working for a Ukrainian energy firm where the younger Biden served on the board.
The questions about the testimony from Blue Star Strategies officials comes as the Justice Department is reportedly investigating whether the firm violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act with its work contacting federal officials on behalf of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings.
Blue Star, a lobbying and strategy firm with deep Democrat connections dating to the Bill Clinton era, was hired in late 2015 by Burisma in an effort to improve its image and fight corruption allegations the Ukrainian firm had been facing since early 2014 when Hunter Biden joined its board, according to documents previously published by Just the News.
Blue Star's work later became the focus of a Senate investigation that concluded last year that Hunter Biden's role at Burisma while his father oversaw Ukraine policy as vice president created a conflict of interest that undercut U.S. efforts to fight corruption in the former Soviet republic.
Late last August — just over two months before the presidential election won by Joe Biden — the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee summoned two representatives from Blue Star Strategies to testify on the firm's relationship with Burisma.
Blue Star's Karen Tramontano and Sally Painter were asked about the firm's contacts with Hunter Biden while he served on Burisma's board.
Tramontano testified that "at no time did I or anyone else in the firm working on behalf of Burisma collaborate or coordinate the development or implementation of our work with Hunter Biden. ... Mr. Biden played no role in Blue Star Strategies' work on behalf of Burisma."
Under questioning from the Democratic counsel on the Senate committee, Painter gave similar testimony.
But emails, calendar notations and memos obtained by Just the News from the Hunter Biden laptop now in possession of the FBI state clearly that Hunter Biden had direct conversations with the Blue Star team on several occasions as its was beginning its work in November and December of 2015.
Those conversations included details about the Burisma-Blue Star contract as well as specific strategies, such as countering the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine's claims of corruption.
Interesting piece from the #FauciEmails.

Wonder if this is a CYA email because Harrison sounds like he really wants to stop the pandemic. But then he advises to shut America down just like a good comrade should. Color me skeptical and remove Falsie from any position of responsibility before he does any more damage to our country.

[Citizen Free Press] Several members of the US women’s soccer team turn their backs while 98 year-old World War II veteran Pete DuPre plays the National Anthem on his harmonica. Return them to their home countries where they will feel more patriotic.

^ Ya know, I might buy that for some members of the team, but others have previously self-identified as treasonous skanks.

Carli Lloyd response makes no sense as clearly some team members are looking one way, and others are looking in a different direction. So what if *some* are looking at the flag, some clearly were not.
#11
NOT TRUE!. Some were facing a US flag visible at one part of the stadium, others were facing a US flag visible in another direction in the arena. All were respecting the US flag per the US Olympic team.

IMO, When you represent the United States, proudly do it. Get outside yourself and don't make it all about you. A lot of brave people died who believed in freedom. Have some class.

They're not US citizens -- there are other countries responsible for them in an emergency.

Undocumented - people who violated the laws governing immigration. So, the governor is advocating 'aiding and abetting' the breaking of the law. If the undocumented don't have to obey the law, why should anyone?
#4
Register the prog liberals who demand open borders and have them provide room and board for the undocumented. If they're zealots about defunding the police, have their phones blocked from any emergency service. This sounds like a fun time.

The SCROTUS already determined it's not the job of police to prevent you from being the victim of a crime. Regardless of leftists' confusion, it is not the gummint's job to protect anyone from their bad choices.

#4, what you suggest is just the flip side of the old lefty daydream about being able to check off on their tax return that they didn't want their tax payment used by the Pentagon. I do think they should put their money where their mouths are...

You can talk about Whitmer and Cuomo all you like, but for sheer stupidity and poor decision-making, Kate Brown is at the top (bottom) of the heap.

"Without documents" how do you prove they are real and not someone's scam?

Im all is n for providing immediate medical treatment and humane accommodations for everyone at a disaster site. If they are illegal we should ensure they are safely transported to a port of entry proximate to their point of entry, and push them out the door. Oh, since you broke in, you will never, f’ing ever, e allowed back again!

Tell you what, you virtue-signaling cvnt: You and your son sisters take in the illegals -- into YOUR towns, into YOUR schools, and into YOUR homes -- all of them, all 22 million of these criminals -- and then we can "have that conversation. "
