Ukraine War Threatens Biden Megadonor Since 2009

Ukraine War Threatens Biden Megadonor Since 2009

Government ethics watchdogs say the president’s friendship poses a potential conflict of interest. How has massive foreign aid been used, and who has benefited from it?

.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn’t the only one demanding more military assistance from Joe Biden to protect Kiev from Russian forces.
.
So, too, is a close Biden friend and financial backer, who owns several luxury car dealerships around the Ukrainian capital.

By sending billions of dollars in weapons and other military aid to help defend Ukraine, Biden also is securing the investments of millionaire car magnate John Hynansky, a Ukrainian American and longtime supporter of the president.

.

Over the course of Biden’s political career, Hynansky and his family have contributed more than $100,000 to his campaigns, Federal Election Commission records show.

.

Hynansky family members have been guests at the White House, and Hynansky has floated hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans to Biden family members, property records show. Hynansky’s son, Michael, who helps run his car empire, lent the use of his Lear jet to Biden when he was a senator.

.

Since Russia started shelling the area around Kiev in February 2022, the U.S. government has spent $77 billion to help Ukraine rebuild and repel future attacks.

.

Government ethics watchdogs say the president’s friendship poses a potential conflict of interest that demands a full accounting of how the massive foreign aid, which includes open-ended humanitarian and economic assistance, has been used and who has benefited from it.

.

On the military side, moreover, billions of dollars have gone to unspecified areas, such as “security,” “intelligence,” and “training.” In the past, Hynansky has supplied the police cars and ambulances in several regions of Ukraine.

.

The Biden Administration helped Hynansky’s team in Ukraine prepare for the invasion, including placing calls to his top executive in Kiev 13 days in advance of Russian tanks crossing the border.

.

It has sent billions of dollars to help rebuild war-torn cities where Hynansky operates the largest share of the country’s car showrooms and service centers specializing in Porsches, Jaguars, Land Rovers, and Bentleys, among other non-American brands he imports. 

.

The president’s close relationship with Hynansky illustrates larger ethical questions that have long surrounded Biden and his family members, who often have financial interests directly affected by policies he endorses. .

.

While serving as President Obama’s point man in Ukraine in 2015,  Biden demanded the firing of a prosecutor investigating a natural gas company, Burisma, that was paying his son Hunter $80,000 per month FOR FIVE YEARS to serve AS A NO-SHOW on its board.

.

The connection between Joe Biden and Hynansky’s business ventures dates back to 2009, when the then-vice president made his first visit to Ukraine.

.

In a speech in Kiev to government officials, Biden singled out Hynansky for praise, noting that he had just had breakfast with “my very good friend, John Hynansky.” .

(The previous year, Hynansky had contributed more than $33,000 to the Obama-Biden ticket primarily through the Obama Victory Fund, according to FEC records.)

.

Within months of his hobnobbing with the vice president and local officials in the Ukrainian capital, Hynansky scored his first international development loan from the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation, or OPIC, a federal body whose board was appointed by President Obama.

.

Hynansky used the $2.5 million to break ground on a new headquarters and massive distribution center outside Kiev that prepares 8,000 cars for sale every year. In 2012, Hynansky landed another $20 million in OPIC funding to expand his dealership facilities, federal records show, helping him corner roughly 25 percent of the luxury car market in Ukraine.

.

Hynansky is politically connected in Kiev as well as Washington. President Zelenskyy also calls Hynansky a good friend and in recent years has bestowed state awards on him. Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko also is close to the prominent Wilmington businessman.

.

In August 2021, Hynansky secured a $24 million loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to expand its Ukraine operations into electric vehicles, including building new Renault and Volvo dealerships in Lviv.

.

The U.S. is a founding member of EBRD and provides 10 percent of its capital. The Biden Administration has been pushing such “green” deals. 

“In the near future, we intend to increase our presence on the Ukrainian market,” Hynansky’s top official in Ukraine, Petro Rondiak, said at the time. 

.

The White House did not respond to queries about the president’s relationship with Hynansky.

.

Though Biden is silent about his actions in Ukraine as they concern Hynansky and his businesses there, he has repeatedly denied that his son’s Burisma dealings influenced his official actions in Ukraine—which included handing over more than $50 million in U.S. support to assist the Ukrainian energy industry, an aid package Biden personally announced in Kiev the month before Burisma hired his son in 2014.

.

Republicans are investigating whether those funds were intended to help his son’s business interests in Ukraine. Less explored is whether U.S. tax money has also been used to protect or boost Hynansky’s Ukrainian investments.

.

Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, a Washington watchdog group. said that in dealing with Ukraine,

.

Biden increasingly is drawing suspicion he may be putting his own political fortunes ahead of the national interest.

HIDING THE HUNTER BIDEN EVIDENCE TO PROTECT JOE BIDEN

EXCERPT:

 

Info status as of December 30, 2020

As additional news comes in during October through February, this write-up will be revised and augmented.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Biden has a history of:

 

1) Performing near the bottom of his class, in college and in law school,

2) Repeated plagiarism, while a student and in public office.

3) Shady financial dealings with China and Ukraine,

4) Touchy-feeling women and children, in public, on video,

5) Sexually assaulting women co-workers,

6) Impeachable malfeasance relating to emoluments, while in office as VP

 

I can assure you, I do not like this disappointing news about Biden. 

I always thought he was one of the good guys.

 

All of it can be easily obtained by some googling.

https://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/hiding-the-hunter-bide...

 

So much dirt exists, because he ran twice for President, bowed out twice, because Hillary was digging up too much dirt, with help of the Media that favored her. He was not gaining traction, while defending himself.

 

This time the Media favored Biden, so no dirt was to be found anywhere

However, all hands to the pumps to find maximum dirt on Trump, and Facebook and Twitter helped out as well.

 

Even the blind and deaf knew what was going on.

 

Influence Peddling: Biden was doing his influence peddling while VP, an impeachable offense (emoluments), similar to the insider-dealing of Spiro Agnew, the VP of Nixon.

Agnew resigned, with Nixon to follow later.

I am old enough to remember at 83

 

The Media: I realized the US Media was not going to cover his “activities”

Twitter and Facebook are still blocking accounts and URLs, i.e., putting a lid on the Biden shenanigans. 

Twitter and Facebook employees have given 51 times more to Biden than Trump, FEC data shows.

Despite Twitter and Facebook obstructions, the Joe and Hunter Biden corruption story is soaring on social media.

It looks like those obstructions are backfiring.

 

It looks like the Media versions of “reality” have free reign.

George Orwell has come to pass.

 

Therefore, I decided to prepare my own well-researched write up.

It has been widely distributed.

 

As additional news comes in during October, 2020 through February, 2021, the write-up gets revised and augmented.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
