For years, some of us have written about the Biden family’s multimillion-dollar influence-peddling operation and the Justice Department’s refusal to charge Hunter Biden with being an unregistered foreign agent. Now, years later, the New York Times has found evidence suggesting that Hunter Biden was acting as a foreign agent as early as the Obama Administration, when his Dad was Vice President.
Last August, the New York Times ran a story about Hunter seeking help from the government for his client Burisma. Ken Vogel just ran a follow-up story with damaging new details:
Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, according to newly released records and interviews.
The records, which the Biden administration had withheld for years, indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member…
The State Department did not release the actual text of the letter.
That is precisely what many of us have been writing about in asking why Hunter was not charged with being an unregistered foreign agent as was the case under cases from Paul Manafort to Bob Menendez.
The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) covers anyone acting as “agent of a foreign principal,” including but not limited to (1) attempting to influence federal officials or the public on domestic or foreign policy or the political or public interests in favor of a foreign country; (2) collecting or disbursing money and or other things of value within the United States; or (3) representing the interests of the foreign principal before U.S. Government officials or agencies.
It is sweeping. So is the definition of what a “foreign principal” encompasses, including “a foreign government, a foreign political party, any person outside the United States (except U.S. citizens who are domiciled within the United States), and any entity organized under the laws of a foreign country or having its principal place of business in a foreign country.”
As I previously wrote, special counsel Robert Mueller seemed to charge by the gross under the act. He hit a line of Trump associates with such allegations from Manafort to Michael Flynn to George Papadopoulos to Rick Gates. The Justice Department used FARA to conduct searches on the homes and files of former Trump counsel Rudy Giuliani, Republican counsel Victoria Toensing and others.
However, the Justice Department and Special Counsel David Weiss seemed to tie themselves into knots to avoid tripping the wire on FARA even as it discussed Hunter’s work for foreign clients.
The government also resisted FOIA requests from the Times and other media. Vogel wrote:
The request was initially filed under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, in June 2021. After nearly eight months, the State Department had not released any records, and The Times sued. About 18 months later, the department moved to close the case after releasing thousands of pages of records — none of which shed light on Hunter Biden’s outreach to the U.S. government.
The Times challenged the thoroughness of the search, noting that the department had failed to produce responsive records contained in a cache of files connected to a laptop that Mr. Biden had abandoned at a Delaware repair shop. The department resumed the search and periodic productions, but had produced few documents related to Mr. Biden until the week after his father ended his re-election campaign and endorsed Vice President Harris for the Democratic nomination.
Now we have a copy of a key letter from Hunter that gives us an insight into the evidence buried for years:
The State Department last week released a letter that Hunter Biden wrote while his father was serving as vice president in which he sought assistance from the U.S. government for the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
In the previously unpublished June 2016 letter on Burisma letterhead to the U.S. ambassador to Italy, Mr. Biden requested “support and guidance” in arranging a meeting with an Italian official to resolve regulatory hurdles to geothermal energy projects Burisma was pursuing in the Tuscany region…
The letter requested help arranging a meeting between Burisma officials and Enrico Rossi, the president of the Tuscany regional government at the time, “to introduce geothermal projects led by Burisma Group, to highlight their social and economic benefits for local communities and develop a common action plan that would lead to further development of the Tuscany Region.”
How could any Justice Department official, let alone a Special Counsel, read that letter and not see the glaring disconnect between the handling of the case involving Joe Biden’s son and others like Manafort?
The letter references a trip on which Hunter, as was his pattern, used official travel with his father to make these business connections. The letter mentions meeting a key ambassador on Air Force Two as he seeks assistance for his client.
The ambassador then sent a follow-up letter saying he knew the president of Tuscany and identified a Commerce Department official working at the US embassy to “see where our interests may overlap.”
It was another example of alleged influence peddling through his father and work for a foreign client in lobbying the government.
During this period, the Justice Department seemed to be on a hair-trigger for FARA charges. Yet, when it came to Hunter Biden, the entire department seemed composed of legal Sgt. Schultzs.
Many in the media attacked those of us who have been writing about this corruption stretching back to the Obama Administration. Many simply insisted that there was no evidence while taking no steps to find out. While the media was unrelenting in investigating Trump allegations of Russian collusion and business improprieties, it took a largely passive stance in pursuing this story.
Even the New York Times, which can be credited with pursuing this FOIA information, did comparably little with the ample evidence of corruption by the Bidens in securing millions through influence peddling.
What remains is a corruption scandal involving not only what the Bidens did but also what the Justice Department did not do over this extended period. It appears to heed the advice not of whistleblowers but politicians like former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) that “everybody needs to back off” the influence-peddling story.
Of course, Joe Biden ultimately broke his repeated promise not to pardon his son. What was most notable, however, was that he not only pardoned him for any crimes from human trafficking to tax evasion, but did so for a period running from Jan. 1, 2014 to Dec. 1, 2024.
This letter explains why such a sweeping, extended pardon was needed. Yet, in the end, the greatest indictment from this scandal was of the Justice Department itself.

Corruption on Capitol Hill and/or Every Day Life at the Capitol
Accountability Ha! LOL, you might as well have Hunter Biden running the Government.
Hell for all we know President Autopen may have been Hunter Biden (Obama & Hillary et.al. would like that narrative).
What can be done about the malalignment, corruption, misgivings, on Capitol Hill.
Term Limits. Term limits can only be had by no other than Congress itself.
[As John Say had previously pointed out: Constitutionally only the state legislatures and congress can make election laws.]
My Ref:
Election Laws can only be held at the Congressional Level, the States have a limited authority (Limited to the State Legislature).
ArtI.S4.C1.2 States and Elections Clause
[Link] constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S4-C1-2/ALDE_00013577/
By its terms, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, referred to as the Elections Clause, contemplates that state legislatures will establish the times, places, and manner of holding elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate, subject to Congress making or altering such state regulations (except as to the place of choosing Senators).1 The Supreme Court has interpreted the Elections Clause expansively, enabling states “to provide a complete code for congressional elections, not only as to times and places, but in relation to notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns.” …
… Similarly, the authority of states to establish the “Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives” does not include authority to impose additional qualification requirements to be a Member of the House of Representatives or a Senator, which are governed by the Constitution’s Qualification Clauses at Article I, Section 2, Clause 2 for Members of the House and at Article I, Section 3, Clause 3 for the Senate. …
… The Court noted that the Elections Clause does not allow states to set term limits, which the Court viewed as “disadvantaging a particular class of candidates and evading the dictates of the Qualifications Clause,”12 or ballot labels identifying candidates who disregarded voters’ instructions on term limits or declined to pledge support for them. In its 1995 decision in U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton, the Court explained: “[T]he Framers understood the Elections Clause as a grant of authority to issue procedural regulations, and not as a source of power to dictate electoral outcomes, to favor or disfavor a class of candidates, or to evade important constitutional restraints.”…
… The Supreme Court has held that Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, provides for Congress, not the courts, to regulate how states exercise their authority over Senate and House elections, ….
… In its 2023 Moore v. Harper decision, the Supreme Court held that the Elections Clause, in Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, does not protect a state legislature from a state court reviewing whether the state legislature’s exercise of its Election Clause authority is consistent with its state constitution. Rejecting an argument that the Elections Clause insulated state legislatures from the “ordinary exercise of state judicial review,” the Court observed: “State courts retain the authority to apply state constitutional restraints when legislatures act under the power conferred upon them by the Elections Clause.” The Court, however, cautioned that state court power to review state rules regarding “[t]he Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives” was limited to “the ordinary bounds of judicial review” and that state courts should not “arrogate to themselves the power vested in state legislatures to regulate federal elections.”…
So U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton and Moore v. Harper would need to be overturned in order to enable/establish Term Limits at the Local Level.
P.S.: So it looks like the Crooks in Congress have a lock on this one.
Note: In the last election (2024) there were several attempt to have Trump removed from the Ballot
(We were in whole different world a year ago ~ circa April 2024)

[Link] cnn.com/2024/01/20/politics/donald-trump-ballot-removal-efforts-dg/index.html
So as we watch Congress give itself a Pay Raise time after time to keep up with the COLA. We see that they can do something that effects their Welfare/Wallets. But to approve Term Limits, that would be sacrilegious. They would not bite-off the hand that feeds them.
Accountability, What of the Governmental Accounting agency OMB, and the Governmental Auditing FASAB? [ ** et.al accounting accountability orgs – any of them! ] It seems as though they themselves need to be Audited and measures made to effectively Account for and rein in Spending they say they are accountable for. I mean a 36.22 T deficit – really(?), Obliviously there was no one at the Wheel in these organizations. They are a puff-piece where every paycheck is like Christmas morning. Elon Musk comes in with a Crew of VC Technicians and gives the Government a Blitzscaling* and within 100 Days does more than the; OMB, FASAB, GASB, FAF, GFOA, THEIIA and GAAP stds. has done in 100 Years.
Oh yeah! Americas Got Talent but no Guts (Except Trump). It’s an M&A takeover in progress that is giving the Government an enema it so baldly needs. And what have We (ret.), the Judicial Branch has shown itself to be the source of the constipation (U.S. District Judge James Boasberg one of many Judicial Turds clogging up the works, to say nothing of the DOJ and the SCOTUS).

The Ghost in the Machine that is printing up Trillion of Dollars.

THE MSM knows all too well the attenuating effect of delayed reporting (upon already jaded consumers of national news).
In 2029 we will learn who left the bag of cocaine in the White House, and who edited the CBS pre-election interview of Kamala Harris. Maybe we will eventually learn what designers’ dresses were in the luggage stolen by Biden’s Sam Brinton?
Lin, givne America’s short attention span nobody will care. There are more serious problems to contend with like 401(k)’s losing value. Higher prices on goods and services, rising inflation and economic uncertainty thanks to the disaster that these tariffs are.
Do you honestly think anyone will care about Hunter Biden?
This story is essentially Turley pi$$ing into the wind.
George: Thanks for the smile. How did I know that you would immediately jump on anything I say within minutes ?
Here’s something else that nobody cares about from the Biden administration
(apparently, “eggs” being the canary in the barn that media finds it important to constantly register consumers comments about: https://www.vicesnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/egg-price-CHART-1024×1024.jpeg)
Weird, because that’s what Trump campaigned on. Right? He promised to reduce the price of eggs and other grocey goods because Biden didn’t. Now he’s raising the prices even more. So, what’s your point? That it was Biden’s fault? Nobody cares about Biden anymore. What is Trump doing to help lower grocery prices? Raise tariffs. Genious idea, right?
George, sounds to me like intended sarcasm from Lin. It went over your head both times.
Commodities futures are tanking – that means lower food prices are coming.
More and more real economists are pointing out that Tariffs are not inflationary, they are DEFLATIONARY.
Many economists are terrified of deflation – but mild deflation has been the Norm through history prior to the advent of Central Banks.
Central banks REQUIRE mild inflation to function.
Significant Deflation is atleast as dangerous as significant inflation.
Depressions are recessions that have double digit deflation.
The Great Depression was a massive deflationary event.
I don’t know where you live but around here grocery prices are going down and gasoline prices seem to settling down. I really miss the Biden clan.
Direct and mortal enemy of America, comrade George, lives with Dictator She in Beijing, where everything is” free—”free stuff” and “free status” forever! All citizens need to do is caterwaul incessantly, and every last thing will be delivered right on time. Just consult George’s Communist Manifesto; it’s all in there.
“where everything is free”
“I think it was you:
Talking ’bout a world where all is free.
It just couldn’t be;
And only a fool owuld say that…”

LIKE THE 21% INFLATION gave us? And the 15 MILLION unvetted let in??? STOCKS go up and down BOZO GEORGE!!!
BIDEN GAVE US!! corrected!
Happiness is being a grifter and not being held responsible for your actions.
Well isn’t that convenient for the NYTimes and many others. The damage is done. Pardons have been granted. Millions and millions of people demoralized by TDS. And they want to now pretend they have “breaking news” that proves the conspiracy theorists were right all along. I’m shocked. Just shocked. What’s next? Are they going to now define what a woman is? Tell us All Lives Matter? How about an expose on the Marxist’s takeover of our education system?
Still on Hunter Biden Turley? Wow. Nobody cares anymore. Trump is sucking up all of the attention. From his attacks on free speech to wrecking the economy while exhibiting complete incomptence in managing government.
As I predicted, Turley is running out of excuses and reasons not to criticize Trump. Now he’s reguritating old gripes and nonsense. Truly sad. His colleagues are shaking their heads in sorrow over Turley’s sad protestations against the left while Rome burns.
He can’t be bothered to protet against Trump’s attacks on free speech, his most cherished subject, because it would be blasphemous in the eyes of MAGA and Turley knows this.
“Nobody cares anymore.”
Gee, George, isn’t that the point?
Reading with comprehension and contextual consideration led me to understand JT’s URL reference about the “belated” finding:
https://jonathanturley.org/2025/04/06/oh-that-influence-peddling-new-york-times-belatedly-finds-evidence-that-hunter-did-act-as-foreign-agent/#comments
They why bother writing about it? Doing so just makes the point even more silly. Turley is lookin for an excuse to distract or avoid any discussion of more serious issues. The MAGA nutties here are already gobbling up this story as if it were fish food.
It keeps their rage and ignorance well fed.
They didn’t find evidence. The letter still isn’t evidence that Hunter Biden violated FARA. Turley strains to make a connection by alleging that by just riding on air force one or two makes him a Government agent or representative. Arranging meetings is on behalf of Burisma is not acting on Behalf of the U.S. Government.
Turley has no idea how FARA works, or maybe he does, but he is being deliberately disingenious. I suspect the latter. Manafort worked in a political capacity and while being a campaign manager for Trump he arranged meetings with foreign entities AND took money from them. Plus the evidence against manafort was stronger and because of that Manafort pled guilty.
Hunter’s business deals were done while he was a private consultant. Arranging a meetiing with government agencies or officals while representing Burisma is not the same thing. That is why even Jim Jordan and James Comer could not provide evidence that Hunter violated FARA. It’s Turley’s misreading of the law and trying to twist logic to fit his preferred outcome that is the problem. Accusations and allegations are not evidence, but Turley sure likes to insinuate that they are.
^^^^georgie says “It’s Turley’s misreading of the law and trying to twist logic to fit his preferred outcome that is the problem. Accusations and allegations are not evidence, but Turley sure likes to insinuate that they are.”
Turley “misreads” the law?
Oh, now smarter-than-turley georgie wants us to know how much Turley “misreads the law!”
“Wow. Nobody cares anymore. “
Is that your way of escaping culpability? You run away. We know that ignorance is you, George Svelaz, and the only time your ignorance ceases is when you are providing meaningless generalizations. Your best defense is to attack Turley. He has a brain and you don’t. In that way you garner sympathy
georgie had to look up “attenuated” before he could answer her. He broke the keyboard overusing the letters for “disingenuous.”
Trump has not “attacked” free speech. He has criticized the speech of others.
This is the problem with the lefts word mangling.
Government many not use FORCE to restrict the actual rights of others.
Words are not force.
It is not an infringment on your right to free speech to be deported to your home.

How did this get past the censors at the former newspaper known ad the NY Times?
And what if the Hunter 10-year pardon was signed by autopen?
I would think they’d wake Biden out of his coma to sign it by hand. But if that happened it would be an admission that the autopen pardons were invalid.
It’s amazing how the NYT with a team of crack investigative reporters are discovering this now. Wow, Johnny on the spot journalism! This necessitates a Pulitzer.
The world knows it is impossible to shame a biden. But how Weiss, McCaskill, Mueller and their ilk can allow their face to appear in public clearly demonstrates their unmitigated contempt for America.
I never realized “Crossfire Hurricane” was a Rolling Stone lyric. But “Jumping Jack Flash” goes, “I was born in a crossfire hurricane…”
the reason why hunter was ignored and the game of pretending endured is because he was sanctioned to operate.
but for whom…and to what ends, was he permitted to do these deals and use the persuasion and the direct influence of his pop and the Obama administration to do it?
one name…do the deep dive. look at this person and when you do, fully without salt or political agenda, you will have your answers:

JOE BIDEN was ranked the 14th BEST President by “HISTORIANS” and TRUMP last. Historians like to change history!
What’s next for the New York Times ??? Joe Biden pimped out his crack-whore son on Air Force Two to get bribe money from the Chinese ??? Oh wait……. the statute of limitations has run out. They’re safe…..
Do we not ask why Hunter was never out of the sight of the Bidens and Secret Service? He needed to be under constant control. His pardon was to protect everyone who surrounded him and all those who knew the truth and ducked honesty for power. The Biden legacy is torn and shattered. Biden is a broken man; his wife not respected. A sad tale of hunger, greed and power.
The truth will all come out about Biden and his family — the Thugs. But, sadly and sorely, Obama is wrapped into this dishonesty. He knew what his VP was doing and did nothing. There are too many checks and balance when close to the top gov people, not to know. Power is intoxicating and to have it, to hold, it is a drug of choice.
Words of wisdom from 1916 — holds today. Beware especially the Dem party. You have splintered into the Dem Socialist Party and the only way to bring our country to untiy is to form a moderate Democrat Party. The abuses of the left have raped our people — heart and mind and soul.
10 Cannots by William J. H. Boetcker
William J. H. Boetcker (1873-1962)
Originally published in 1916 these words are still wise.
1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift..
2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
3. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
5. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
6. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
7. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
9. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence.
10. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
Thanks for putting Boetcker’s statements up.
In other news the NY Times just announced that they have discovered that Woodrow Wilson was racist, FDR had a girlfriend, JFK had many girlfriends, the Soviets were starving their own people, the Germans were killing Jews, Bill Clinton lied, Hillary Clinton did destroy her emails that proved she had classified information on her private server, Obama was pictured with Louis Farrakhan, did attend a white hating pastor’s church for years, did know that Benghazi was a terrorist attack and did start his career in the home of a known terrorist, Castro was a communist, Joe McCarthy was right about much of what he said, Covid did start in a lab, Cuomo did kill old people, China is genocidal and Israel isn’t and the climate thing is a hoax.
I can’t believe Biden appointed Hunter (who had no experience) to negotiate Middle East affairs, who then started a private equity firm that conveniently received $2 billion from the Saudis. Republicans will never stand for such self-driven influence peddling.
Also, put Hunter in prison for breaking multiple laws, along with Pence for mishandling classified documents; Hillary for mishandling classified documents; Sleepy for mishandling classified documents; and, as I’m sure everyone here will agree in light of such consistency, King Dorito should see a cell, considering how egregious his theft and subsequent obstruction regarding classified documents were.
Turley chooses his daily topics as if the Dems were still in power. The lack of attention to the governing decisions brewing every day, next week, next month, and next year opens the door to being gobsmacked by WH blunders like we’re seeing now every week.
This obsession with making the Dems look bad sends a troubling signal that Repubs are uncomfortable now taking responsibility for the decisions and policies being made, and are not facilitating the constructive, meritocratic debate needed to be effective as a ruling party.
The global image of the US has been seriously eroded over the past 10 weeks. The long term damage will be hard to defend, because so little public thinking went into these missteps. China is ready to swoop in as the “trustworthy” nation at every Trumpian insult. Foreign policy has never been so counterproductive.
You choose your daily talking point to ignore the story you just read, complain about what the column doesn’t address, defend the one-sided legal political witch hunt that went after “the other party” and complain incessantly about the author you spend all day attacking.
You are weird, paid or both.
HullBobby,
Well said. Despite all the evidence of wrong doing, they just keep making up excuses to cover the BCF.
Anonymous has a hard time dealing with the “I told you so.” Her beloved New York Times has been forced to come clean and tell the truth about Joe Biden helping his foreign agent son. Oh please! Oh no! Not The New York Times too?! Her constant changing of the subject to what she deems to be of more import can be understood. What else can she do when she sees her closest one time allies finally bring the truth to the surface of the cauldron. Whoa be Anonymous. Whoa be Anonymous as she is slowly lifted on her own petard. Such a sad clown tasting the bitter tears of the “I told you so”.
The Democrats are not in power but are trying through every means possible to lie and cheat and don’t call out destruction. Biden’s damage will last for years and his legacy will be one of shame and gross dishonesty. He has never been a giant but his mental limitations and the lies to support him corrupted many. They will not stop.
The left offers little because they are too splintered to find human truths. You name call when you can’t articulate thoughts. Corey Booker is an example of this. He has to make himself visible to show his ‘leadership’. He is not a leader but a follower and when he talks of education — well, he has failed to help NJ. Perhaps he tried as mayor of Newark at one time, but he didn’t stand by as students slipped into dullness. 24 hours of talk showed his stamina but a forward-thinking man. He stood up to be noticed. I noticed and reject his smugness. Too bad — super well educated but empty of good ideas.
Anonymous, oh yes, the world is now going to see China as a trustworthy nation. The same China that has dumped product around the world at prices lower than the cost of production in order to put their competitors out of business. Yes sir the world is now going to see China as their buddy buddy that truly has their best interests at heart. It seems that your statement reveals that you are pro China and that you believe that China is the great benefactor of the world. I had a sneaking suspicion.
Anonymous the Bolshevik, since you didn’t read the article you’re whinging about, I’ll sum up the crucial point, and I quote: “What remains is a corruption scandal involving not only what the Bidens did but also what the Justice Department did not do over this extended period.”
At least some of those DOJ people who enabled years of influence peddling and coverups still work at the DOJ. That needs to be addressed. Also, there’s the moral lesson that applies to everybody: don’t let politically-corrupt nonces control our institutions. We get the government we deserve.
Does that help?
Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest.
Calvin Coolidge
It is time to clean house.
Yes, if we tolerate political corruption, every other kind of corruption will find us. Epstein and Biden are proof.
The corruption is almost immeasurable. When will the heads roll?
No hold breath😬
I wish someone would make Trump aware that he is losing the support of his MAGA base the longer we go without seeing dem apparatchiks in orange jumpsuits behind bars. What is delaying Bondi – I hope she isn’t another failed AG choice by Trump.
Mama, I too am so sick of NOT seeing any Democrat pay for their illegal, corrupt, greedy and reckless legal warfare perpetrated against their political opponents. It is the most egregious scandal of our lifetimes and it remains unaddressed.
Does anyone think that the Biden crime family wouldn’t have cajoled the weak Merrick Garland into prosecuting these crimes if they had been committed by their opponents?
Obama, you gave Biden this power, you put him in the administration, you unleashed Hunter to run amok all over the world and you ignored all these crimes committed under your name.
I don’t ever want to hear “there were no scandals under Obama” ever again.
I just contacted my representative, Claudia Tenney, and told her as much. That we are growing impatient with the lack of Bondi’s actions and that she should share our concerns that the Trump administrations is looking hapless and feckless with regard to prosecutions of blatant law breaking. Each and every politician/bureaucrat who defies existing immigration laws should already be behind bars.
Predawn raids by storm troopers should be ubiquitous and constant.
Just like the one at Mar-a-Lago.
I’m Shocked, Shocked I say to discover this heretofore undiscovered truth. Did some intern from a midwestern journalism school sneak into the NYTimes city desk and write an essay and it was accidentally printed.
All I can say is the professor should take a real Guillotine from the prior blog and apply to the subjects mentioned in this blog.
