/2 According to the National Archives, this tranche of documents consists of “email messages from December 2009 through June 2010 that includes the company name ‘Rosemont Seneca.’”
/3 NARA initially proposed withholding “142 email messages in whole and 54 email messages in part” under the Presidential Records Act…but after Stuart Delery, Counsel to the President, and Robert Lenhard, former Vice President Biden’s representative, weighed in, NARA ultimately… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
/4 An email from Biden’s former Deputy Chief of Staff in the Senate, Dennis Toner, to VP Biden’s then-Deputy Chief of Staff, Alan Hoffman, reveals direct access and more influence peddling. 
/5 As reported by @thenation, Dennis Toner was a leading promoter of the Delaware Board of Trade (DBOT), which was ultimately sold to Ideanomics — a project of Bruno Wu, who had an investment partnership with Shanghai’s Harvest Fund Management, the “H” in BHR Partners.
/6 As reported by @nytimes, BHR Partners was the investment firm Hunter co-founded with CCP-backed investors. The National Archives redacted the email because its “Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”
/7 Hunter’s business partner, Eric Schwerin, emailed the Office of the VP about a “China Lunch” a couple of months ahead of President Hu’s official visit to the United States.
/8 Despite Joe Biden’s denial that he was aware of Hunter’s business dealings with China, the National Archives also redacted this email because its “Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”
/9 Two days before then-Vice President Joe and then-Second Lady Jill Biden departed for Egypt, Kenya, and South Africa in June 2010, their White House staff brainstormed with Hunter “to talk about africa.”
/10 Sometime after the call, Hunter emailed Jill Biden’s advisor, Anthony Bernal, about “Nairobi ideas,” and the National Archives redacted it entirely because its “Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”
/11 Later that evening, Joe Biden’s White House staff sent Hunter an email entitled “Summary Africa,” and the National Archives redacted it entirely because its “Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”
/12 Two months later, as reported in @GrassleyPress and @SenRonJohnson Majority Staff Report, Hunter traveled to South Africa as a Secret Service protectee in August 2010.
/13 Hunter also used his access to his father to pressure OVP staff to write a letter. Larry Rasky, who is mentioned, ran communications for Biden’s 1988 and 2008 presidential campaigns.
/14 Anne Marie Person at Rosemont Seneca Partners (Hunter Biden’s firm) was able to influence her brother, Fran, who was hired by the Biden VP team.
Rick Vitali is a longtime Biden campaign supporter. It is unclear what the letter’s purpose was as the link is broken.
