Before Dems made Oleg Deripaska a boogeyman, Hunter Biden plotted to make money off Russian

At the time in 2011, Biden's speech was deemed a big moment, enough so that a copy of the text was emailed by an Obama Department of Energy official to the vice president's globe-trotting son Hunter Biden, then-cochairman of the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm.

Pdf "FYI, note CEO of Alcoa at VP event in Russia today," fellow Rosemont Seneca official Eric Schwerin emailed Hunter Biden as the vice president's trip to Moscow was unfolding, according to emails turned over to the FBI two years ago from a laptop once owned by the younger Biden.

Within a few short months, Hunter Biden personally emailed a proposal to Alcoa executives to charge them as much as $80,000 for an intelligence and risk analysis report on one of the U.S. company's new Russian partners, oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who ran the Russian aluminum giant RUSAL. "Please see the attached proposal per our last conversation," Hunter Biden wrote the Alcoa executive on June 3, 2011.

Pdf Hunter Biden's overture touched off a long series of emails between Alcoa officials and Rosemont Seneca executives that laid out the scope of the work the Biden firm was proposing.

"Follow-up to initial meeting with Rosemont Seneca Co-Chairman Hunter Biden regarding proposal to provide Alcoa with statistical analysis of political and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, Russian CEO of Basic Element company and United Company RUSAL," one email explained.

The emails stated that Hunter Biden had sent Alcoa sample data with a "map of OD's networks based on frequency of interaction with selected elites and countries; key statements made in certain period of time.

The Alcoa anecdote captured in the emails captures another cogent example of how Hunter Biden's business pursuits overseas often overlapped with his father's foreign policy responsibilities.
