For nearly a decade, Joe Biden used multiple email aliases to send hundreds of messages to his son Hunter’s former business partner, the Republican-led House committee leading the impeachment inquiry against the president revealed Tuesday.
An 11-page log of emails allegedly sent and received by Joe Biden between 2010 and 2019 was obtained by the House Ways and Means Committee through metadata provided by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.
During that nine-year period, Joe Biden used pseudonyms, such as “robinware456,” “JRBware” and “RobertLPeters,” to communicate with his son, other family members, White House officials and Hunter’s former business partner Eric Schwerin, according to the committee.
In all, Joe Biden released or learned of 327 emails with Schwerin, the founding partner and managing director of the defunct Rosemont Seneca Hunter Partners firm.

Of those emails, 54 were exclusively between Joe Biden and Schwerin, who the committee alleges was the architect of the Biden family’s “multiple shell companies that launder money around the world.”
The committee also found that 38 emails were sent from the White House to Joe Biden’s shadow account with Hunter copied on the messages.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) noted that some of the emails were exchanged while then-Vice President Biden was on a trip to Ukraine, while Hunter was on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

“Vice President Biden appears to have treated Air Force 2 like a corporate jet, en route to Ukraine and Mexico, to advance Hunter Biden’s business interests,” Smith said in a statement. “Evidence from today’s documents shows that around the time of international trips such as those to Ukraine, Joe Biden sent emails to his son and his son’s business associates from a personal email account using the current alias of the Vice President.”
Before the June 2014 trip to Ukraine, Joe Biden and Schwerin exchanged only five emails, the committee found, but after the trip, Joe Biden and Schwerin emailed 27 times.
Joe Biden boasted to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018 that during a December 2015 visit to Kyiv, he threatened to withhold $1 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine if Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was not fired.

An FBI informant has claimed that Joe Biden pushed for Shokin’s removal because Shokin was investigating Burisma.
The president claimed he demanded Shokin’s removal because the prosecutor was corrupt.
“I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor isn’t fired, you won’t get the money.’ Well, bitch. He’s fired,” Joe Biden said in 2018.
Although the data set did not include the content of the emails, the committee said it supported earlier testimony from an IRS whistleblower showing that Hunter and Schwerin had an “extraordinary level of access” to Joe Biden as they made foreign business deals during Biden’s senior years in office. public

The House Ways and Means Committee disclosure comes after the National Archives and Records Administration admitted earlier this year that it has up to 82,000 pages worth of emails, electronic records and documents that could potentially show Joe Biden used a pseudonym during his vice presidency, including emails that related to the accounts of Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters and JRB Ware.
It’s unclear what topics were covered in most of the emails or who else was looped in on the messages.
