This memo, released by\u2064 the House Ways and \u2062Means Committee, raises questions about Hunter Biden&#8217;s phone call and \u200cthe potential special access given to his\u2063 connections. <\/p>\n<p>The recently released memo, dated December 2, 2015, is significant \u2062when combined with other details related to \u2062the Ukrainian\u200b scandal. It suggests that Hunter Biden may have helped Blue Star Strategies, a company he was connected to, gain access to senior Obama administration \u200cofficials. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-772256739\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-28bccd3f1c9b70f5777438f86a336d29 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-28bccd3f1c9b70f5777438f86a336d29\"><\/div>\n<p>Prior to the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-stefanik-garlands-comment-on-cuomo-corruption-not-good-enough\/\" title=\"Rep. Stefanik: Garland\u2019s comment on Cuomo corruption \u2018not good enough\u2019\">impeachment inquiry hearing<\/a>, the House Ways and Means\u2064 Committee released documents that\u200b implicate Joe Biden\u2062 in a pay-to-play scheme. The memo from Blue Star Strategies to Burisma, \u2063regarding &#8220;U.S. Vice President Biden&#8217;s Trip to Ukraine Next Week,&#8221; is particularly significant. <\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s\u2064 former business partner, Devon\u2064 Archer, stated that Hunter helped \u2064set up Burisma with\u200c Blue Star Group, which\u200d lobbied for \u200dthe Ukrainian energy giant. The \u2062memo raises \u2063questions about whether Hunter also helped Blue \u200bStar gain access to the Obama-Biden administration. <\/p>\n<p>The memo begins with the statement that \u2064Blue Star \u2062Strategies participated in a conference call with senior Obama administration officials. This raises the question of how they received an invitation to\u200c join the call. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-94e9ec3d2065b3c1fdd90677d8b5da8e fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-94e9ec3d2065b3c1fdd90677d8b5da8e\"><\/div>\n<p>It is troubling that the teleconference was supposed to be on background, yet \u2063Blue Star Strategies disclosed\u200c information about the call to Burisma. They revealed that Vice President \u200dBiden&#8217;s Special Advisor for Europe and Russia and the \u200dVice President&#8217;s National Security Advisor presented the agenda for the trip and discussed U.S. policy toward\u200c Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>The memo provides a detailed summary of\u200b the briefing, including discussions \u200cabout Ukraine&#8217;s anti-corruption efforts and reforms. It emphasizes the need for serious reforms within the Prosecutor\u2064 General&#8217;s Office. <\/p>\n<p>Two days after receiving this \u2064memo, Burisma executives allegedly pressured Hunter Biden to call his father. During his\u200c trip to Ukraine, Vice President Biden threatened to withhold \u200bU.S. loan guarantees unless the\u200b Ukrainian president fired\u200d the prosecutor general. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-47f32501f802195ca9fc55754ba6d3e0 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-47f32501f802195ca9fc55754ba6d3e0\"><\/div>\n<p>Despite claims that the firing of the prosecutor was \u200cunrelated to Hunter Biden&#8217;s work, the memo indicates that\u200b the vice president would be discussing anti-corruption efforts and reforms with Ukraine&#8217;s president. Burisma\u2064 had a vested interest in ensuring that Joe Biden remembered Hunter&#8217;s connection to the company. <\/p>\n<p>Hunter&#8217;s call to his father served that purpose, even if it was just about the weather. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-a9266e93f7927ebe0d6420f42515895c fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-a9266e93f7927ebe0d6420f42515895c\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> rnrn  <\/p>\n<h2> How does the release \u2064of \u200cthis memo by the House Ways\u2064 and Means Committee raise questions about the effectiveness of anti-corruption reforms\u2063 in Ukraine and the extent of corruption within the country<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200cStar Strategies is &#8220;working to improve \u200cthe business climate for \u2061foreign investors in Ukraine.&#8221; It goes on to discuss the upcoming visit of\u2064 Vice President Biden to Ukraine and the opportunity it presents for Burisma to showcase its achievements\u2062 in anti-corruption efforts. The \u200dmemo then outlines a plan to leverage Biden&#8217;s visit to further \u2062advance Burisma&#8217;s interests.<\/p>\n<p>This revelation raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and \u2064special treatment given to Hunter Biden and his connections. It is important to note that at the time of\u200b this memo, Hunter Biden was serving on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that was under investigation for corruption. The fact that\u2062 executives from Burisma \u2064had access \u200bto high-ranking Obama administration officials\u200d just days before Hunter was pulled aside \u2062to call his father raises questions about preferential treatment.<\/p>\n<p>This is not\u200d the first time that Hunter\u2063 Biden&#8217;s business dealings have come under scrutiny. \u200bHis position on the board of Burisma has long been criticized as a result of his lack of experience\u2064 in the energy sector and the potential for conflicts of interest. The\u200b release of this memo adds further evidence to these concerns, suggesting that \u2063Hunter may have been using his connections to gain \u200daccess and influence within the Obama-Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>The memo \u200dalso brings attention to the\u2064 larger issue of corruption in Ukraine. The plan outlined in the memo highlights the importance of anti-corruption reforms that the\u200c U.S. was pushing for in Ukraine. However,\u200b the fact that Burisma, a company under investigation for corruption, was able\u200d to gain access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/facing-a-u-s-anti-corruption-push-in-ukraine-burisma-demanded-hunter-biden-call-dad\/\" title=\"Burisma insisted Hunter Biden contact his father amidst U.S. anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine.\">senior officials raises questions<\/a> about\u200b the effectiveness of these reforms and the extent of corruption within \u2063the country.<\/p>\n<p>The release of \u2063this memo by the House Ways and Means Committee adds another layer to \u200bthe ongoing controversy \u200dsurrounding Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian scandal. It raises important questions about the\u2062 potential influence and special access given\u2063 to those\u200c with political connections, and the need for transparency and accountability in government.<\/p>\n<p>As the investigation into these matters continues, it is crucial to\u2063 examine the role of Hunter Biden\u2063 and his connections in \u200dorder to ensure the integrity of our political \u200bsystem.
