When Hunter Biden was plotting with one of his business partners early in his career to score business with wealthy Greek businessmen, he immediately identified as key leverage a policy position his father took as vice president.
“I’d like you there, but this is a preliminary meeting to introductions into Greek money. If you’d rather sleep in no problem,” Hunter Biden wrote his associate Devon Archer on Jan. 26, 2011. “I think he will connect us to the top 10 wealthiest Greeks in the world – who by the way as a community think my Dad is a candidate for sainthood for his position on Cyprus.”
The email, recently turned over to Congress by Archer, pre-dates Hunter Biden’s later and now infamous pursuits of money in China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Romania and provides investigators some of the earliest evidence showing him openly expressing how his relationship to Joe Biden was a keystone for business success.
