Detailed Proof of the Breathtaking Graft and Corruption of Joe Biden

Via Great Mountain Publishing

On or before June 22, 2020, a joint press conference was held with Interfax Ukrainian News Agency, during which a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Andrii Derkach, and the head of a group of Ukrainian prosecutors in the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine (GPO), Konstantin Kulyk, explained in detail the evidence of bribery and corruption against Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, acting as his front-man.

They uncovered kickback payments from Burisma of $3.4 million dollars to the Morgan Stanley account of Rosemon Seneca Bohai LLC, a company controlled by Hunter Biden. That was only part of the payments made to Hunter Biden who was the conduit and front-man for Joe Biden.

One notable piece of evidence was that Ukrainian investigators caught representatives of the Burisma Oil Company, a company where Hunter Biden sits on the board of directors, paying a $6 million bribe to the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Burea (NABU) to get the NABU to shut down the investigation into political graft and corruption by the Ukrainian government that benefitted Burisma. That payment to the NABU was only part of a total bribe of $50 million.

The account for the video of the news conference was deleted from YouTube. Below is the video posted on BitChute.


Below is a June 22, 2020 article in the Ukrainian News summarizing the press conference.

The initial amount of the bribe for closing the case against Burisma was $50 million, not $6 million. This was stated by Konstantin Kulyk, the Head of the Group of Prosecutors of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine (GPO) for investigating economic crimes of the Yanukovych regime in 2016-2019, at a joint press conference with the Interfax Ukraine News Agency held with MP Andrii Derkach.

Kulyk recalled that recently, the representatives of Burisma were caught on transferring a bribe of $6 million to the agent of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) to close the Burisma case.

“The initial amount of the bribe was not $6 million. The amount of the bribe was $50 million,” the former prosecutor said, showing supporting documents.

He noted that, while attempting to give a bribe to close the Burisma and Biden case, Andriy Kicha – Burisma’s lawyer was among others caught in the act of committing a crime.

“The representatives of Burisma have already delegated Andriy Kicha in 2019 to negotiate with prosecutors of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine. In my hands, I have a report filed by the prosecutor from my group who was investigating the Burisma case. As follows from the report, Burisma and the Deputy Prosecutor General Yenin tried to influence the closure of the case,” Kulyk emphasized.

Derkach noted that Yenin was made by Poroshenko the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in Zelensky’s new Ministry of Foreign Affairs to control the sensitive matters for Poroshenko, Biden and their American contact George Kent.

“To this day, Yenin continues to contact George Kent, reporting weekly over the phone about the situation,” the MP said.

According to Kulyk, in August 2019, he received information that Zlochevsky put forward $50 million to close criminal cases related to the operations of Burisma. The main requirements were to close the cases related to the operations of Burisma.

“I prepared the corresponding report and reported to the Prosecutor General about the need to document the attempt to give this bribe. Here is this report,” Kulik noted, showing the copy of the document.

The key question, according to the former prosecutor, was how such a large amount of money could be transferred.

“Can you imagine the volume of banknotes amounting to $50 million? It is clear that such a bribe was impossible in cash. Therefore, we turned to the Security Service of Ukraine with a request to help in the establishment of an undercover company, which should have received the money. But then the leadership of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine changed: Lutsenko was replaced by Riaboshapka. After that, the process of registering $50 million bribe stopped, and Riaboshapka claimed that the Burisma case does not exist,” Kulik said.

According to the Head of the Group of Prosecutors of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine for investigating economic crimes of the Yanukovych regime in 2016-2019, there are very strange circumstances in this case.

“One of the episodes of official suspicion of Zlochevsky in the case No. 1590, which supposedly was to be closed for $6 million, includes the facts of Zlochevsky’s complicity in money laundering using the Burisma company, as well as Devon Archer’s Rosemont Seneca Bohai, who is one of the associates of the Biden family. Burisma representatives put forward $50 million to close not only Zlochevsky’s case but also the case against a company close to the former US Vice President Joe Biden. When the representatives of Burisma were caught on a bribe of $6 million, the Rosemont Seneca Bohai, and accordingly the payments to Biden, were no longer mentioned in the case. Sytnyk personally confirmed this at his recent press conference,” Kulyk concluded.

In turn, MP Andrii Derkach stressed that Bidens were mentioned in the suspicion, but “disappeared along the way with $44 million,” which were the main part of the bribe.

“Everyone made good money. Even stranger is the fact that the absence of Biden’s name in the case, in which he definitely was involved, is confirmed by the Director of NABU Sytnyk, proposing not to interfere in international political processes. The cynicism of this proposal goes through the roof. It was Sytnyk who intervened in the US presidential election in 2016, using fakes about the so-called Black Book in the case of Trump’s campaign manager – Paul Manafort, and then advocated for Hillary,” Derkach summed up.

On June 12, a former official, with the assistance of an official from the State Fiscal Service in Kyiv and other persons, attempted to transfer $6 million of illegal benefit to the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office Nazar Kholodnytskyi and the leadership of NABU. According to the media reports, Mykola Iliashenko, the First Deputy Chief of the Tax Service of Kyiv, and Andriy Kicha, Chief Legal Officer at Burisma, were caught on a $6 million bribe.


Below is an article written by Johh Solomon for The Hill that was posted on April 1, 2019 and updated on February 19, 2020.

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.

“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.

Interviews with a half-dozen senior Ukrainian officials confirm Biden’s account, though they claim the pressure was applied over several months in late 2015 and early 2016, not just six hours of one dramatic day. Whatever the case, Poroshenko and Ukraine’s parliament obliged by ending Shokin’s tenure as prosecutor. Shokin was facing steep criticism in Ukraine, and among some U.S. officials, for not bringing enough corruption prosecutions when he was fired.

But Ukrainian officials tell me there was one crucial piece of information that Biden must have known but didn’t mention to his audience: The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings that employed Biden’s younger son, Hunter, as a board member.

U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia.

The general prosecutor’s official file for the Burisma probe — shared with me by senior Ukrainian officials — shows prosecutors identified Hunter Biden, business partner Devon Archer and their firm, Rosemont Seneca, as potential recipients of money.

Shokin told me in written answers to questions that, before he was fired as general prosecutor, he had made “specific plans” for the investigation that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”

He added: “I would like to emphasize the fact that presumption of innocence is a principle in Ukraine” and that he couldn’t describe the evidence further.

William Russo, a spokesman for Joe Biden, and Hunter Biden did not respond to email messages Monday seeking comment. The phone number at Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC in Washington was no longer in service on Monday.

The timing of Hunter Biden’s and Archer’s appointment to Burisma’s board has been highlighted in the past, by The New York Times in December 2015 and in a 2016 book by conservative author Peter Schweizer.

Although Biden made no mention of his son in his 2018 speech, U.S. and Ukrainian authorities both told me Biden and his office clearly had to know about the general prosecutor’s probe of Burisma and his son’s role. They noted that:

  • Hunter Biden’s appointment to the board was widely reported in American media;
  • The U.S. Embassy in Kiev that coordinated Biden’s work in the country repeatedly and publicly discussed the general prosecutor’s case against Burisma;
  • Great Britain took very public action against Burisma while Joe Biden was working with that government on Ukraine issues;
  • Biden’s office was quoted, on the record, acknowledging Hunter Biden’s role in Burisma in a New York Times article about the general prosecutor’s Burisma case that appeared four months before Biden forced the firing of Shokin. The vice president’s office suggested in that article that Hunter Biden was a lawyer free to pursue his own private business deals.

President Obama named Biden the administration’s point man on Ukraine in February 2014, after a popular revolution ousted Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych and as Moscow sent military forces into Ukraine’s Crimea territory.

According to Schweizer’s book, Vice President Biden met with Archer in April 2014 right as Archer was named to the board at Burisma. A month later, Hunter Biden was named to the board, to oversee Burisma’s legal team.

But the Ukrainian investigation and Joe Biden’s effort to fire the prosecutor overseeing it has escaped without much public debate.

Most of the general prosecutor’s investigative work on Burisma focused on three separate cases, and most stopped abruptly once Shokin was fired. The most prominent of the Burisma cases was transferred to a different Ukrainian agency, closely aligned with the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, known as the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), according to the case file and current General Prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko.

NABU closed that case, and a second case involving alleged improper money transfers in London was dropped when Ukrainian officials failed to file the necessary documents by the required deadline. The general prosecutor’s office successfully secured a multimillion-dollar judgment in a tax evasion case, Lutsenko said. He did not say who was the actual defendant in that case.

As a result, the Biden family appeared to have escaped the potential for an embarrassing inquiry overseas in the final days of the Obama administration and during an election in which Democrat Hillary Clinton was running for president in 2016.

But then, as Biden’s 2020 campaign ramped up over the past year, Lutsenko — the Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden once hailed as a “solid” replacement for Shokin — began looking into what happened with the Burisma case that had been shut down.

Lutsenko told me that, while reviewing the Burisma investigative files, he discovered “members of the Board obtained funds as well as another U.S.-based legal entity, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, for consulting services.”

Lutsenko said some of the evidence he knows about in the Burisma case may interest U.S. authorities and he’d like to present that information to new U.S. Attorney General William Barr, particularly the vice president’s intervention.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Biden had correlated and connected this aid with some of the HR (personnel) issues and changes in the prosecutor’s office,” Lutsenko said.

Nazar Kholodnytskyi, the lead anti-corruption prosecutor in Lutsenko’s office, confirmed to me in an interview that part of the Burisma investigation was reopened in 2018, after Joe Biden made his remarks. “We were able to start this case again,” Kholodnytskyi said.

But he said the separate Ukrainian police agency that investigates corruption has dragged its feet in gathering evidence. “We don’t see any result from this case one year after the reopening because of some external influence,” he said, declining to be more specific.

Ukraine is in the middle of a hard-fought presidential election, is a frequent target of intelligence operations by neighboring Russia and suffers from rampant political corruption nationwide. Thus, many Americans might take the restart of the Burisma case with a grain of salt, and rightfully so.

But what makes Lutsenko’s account compelling is that federal authorities in America, in an entirely different case, uncovered financial records showing just how much Hunter Biden’s and Archer’s company received from Burisma while Joe Biden acted as Obama’s point man on Ukraine.

Between April 2014 and October 2015, more than $3 million was paid out of Burisma accounts to an account linked to Biden’s and Archer’s Rosemont Seneca firm, according to the financial records placed in a federal court file in Manhattan in an unrelated case against Archer.

The bank records show that, on most months when Burisma money flowed, two wire transfers of $83,333.33 each were sent to the Rosemont Seneca–connected account on the same day. The same Rosemont Seneca–linked account typically then would pay Hunter Biden one or more payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. Prosecutors reviewed internal company documents and wanted to interview Hunter Biden and Archer about why they had received such payments, according to interviews.

Lutsenko said Ukrainian company board members legally can pay themselves for work they do if it benefits the company’s bottom line, but prosecutors never got to determine the merits of the payments to Rosemont because of the way the investigation was shut down.

As for Joe Biden’s intervention in getting Lutsenko’s predecessor fired in the midst of the Burisma investigation, Lutsenko suggested that was a matter to discuss with Attorney General Barr: “Of course, I would be happy to have a conversation with him about this issue.”

As the now-completed Russia collusion investigation showed us, every American deserves the right to be presumed innocent until evidence is made public or a conviction is secured, especially when some matters of a case involve foreigners. The same presumption should be afforded to Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Devon Archer and Burisma in the Ukraine case.

Nonetheless, some hard questions should be answered by Biden as he prepares, potentially, to run for president in 2020: Was it appropriate for your son and his firm to cash in on Ukraine while you served as point man for Ukraine policy? What work was performed for the money Hunter Biden’s firm received? Did you know about the Burisma probe? And when it was publicly announced that your son worked for Burisma, should you have recused yourself from leveraging a U.S. policy to pressure the prosecutor who very publicly pursued Burisma?

Editor’s note: Subsequent to the publication of this op-ed and the election of a new president in Ukraine, Yuriy Lutsenko was removed from office and criminal proceedings opened against him for possible abuse of power; he also subsequently told the Los Angeles Times that he’d seen no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens.

During impeachment testimony, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent said there was the “possibility of a perception of a conflict of interest” regarding Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma and then-Vice President Biden’s role in Ukraine affairs for the Obama administration.


On February 27, 2022, Bob Bishop, reporting for the Gateway Pundit, explained:

On June 28, 2018, the Southern District of New York Court (Case 16-CR-371) convicted three individuals for security fraud. Most noteworthy was Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s partner in Rosemont-Seneca-Bohai, LLC (“RSB”). The criminal investigation subpoenas obtained the banking and investment records of RSB documenting security fraud. The RSB financial records further revealed substantial payments from the private Ukrainian energy company known as Burisma Holdings Limited to Devon Archer and Hunter Biden.

Devon Archer and Hunter Biden were appointed to the Ukrainian Burisma board two months after the Coup d’état installed U.S. puppet Petro Poroshenko as Ukraine’s President. Not a mere coincidence since Vice President Joe Biden was Obama’s Ukraine point man. Neither Archer nor Biden had expertise in oil and gas nor spoke the language. The RSB records revealed that each received $83,333.33 per month as director fees over two years.
