While his daddy was vp:
Hunter Biden requested a $2 million annual retainer and "success fees" to help unfreeze Libyan assets when his father, Joe Biden, was vice president, according to emails reviewed by Business Insider.
Through an intermediary, the younger Biden offered to help recover $15 billion in Libyan assets that the Obama administration froze during the reign of Muammar Qaddafi. The intermediary, a Democratic donor, in a Jan. 28, 2015, email asked for a "close circle of people" to be involved in the offer "for confidentiality," adding that Joe Biden was considering running for president. Another email on Feb. 26, 2016, stressed the importance of only a small, close-knit group's being involved "due to the sensitivities surrounding their involvement."
I thought this was particularly telling:
The Democratic donor involved with Hunter Biden's Libya deal, Sam Jauhari, advertised Biden's access to high-ranking members of the State Department, the Treasury Department, then-secretary of state John Kerry, and his father, who Jauhari said had the "Libya file" in the Obama administration.Even the Libyans didn't want to be involved with Hunter because he was dirty.
"Since he travels with dad, he is connected everywhere in Europe and Asia," Jauhari wrote of Hunter Biden, adding that he even "has access to highest level in [China]."
Jauhari warned his correspondent, Sheikh Mohammed al-Rahbani, an Obama donor, that Hunter Biden's substance abuse may prove an issue.
"His negatives are that he is alcoholic, drug addict – kicked [out] of U.S. Army for cocaine, chasing low class hookers, constantly needs money-liquidity problems and many more headaches," Jauhari wrote. Biden was discharged from the Navy Reserve, not the Army, after he tested positive for cocaine in 2014.
Asking such exorbitant terms is how lawyers say “no”.
Did H. Biden get the gig?
