Devon Archer was a partner with Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz in the firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC.[2] Hunter Biden is the son of former Vice President Joe Biden and Christopher Heinz is the stepson of former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Archer is a key figure in the Biden-Burisma scandal.[3]

Christopher Heinz is an heir of the Heinz family fortune, of Heinz 57 Ketchup. Rosemont Seneca Partners is a private investment firm that partners with a Chinese firm named Bohai (or Bo Hai). Their joint firm is called Bohai RST (Bohai Rosemont Seneca Thornton). Thornton is the Thornton Group which represents Bulger family interests.

Bohai is owned by the Bank of China and Chinese military. Bohai RST has sold American military drone and aircraft technology to the Chinese military.[4]

Whitey Bulger was convicted of 19 murders in 2013 and murdered in prison months before the Mueller report was made public. Bulger was an FBI informant while Robert Mueller and Bill Weld served in the U.S. Attorney's office in Boston in the 1980s and 1990s. Bulger named Mueller as a defense witness. When Mueller became FBI director in 2001, Bulger became a fugitive and was #2 on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List, behind Osama bin Laden.

U.S. Attorney John Durham investigated the corruption in the Boston FBI and U.S. Attorney's office in the 1990s.

Devon Archer was convicted of fraud in 2018.[5] In October 2020 Archer lost his Appeal and had his conviction for fraud re-instated.[6]

An email sent from Hunter Biden to his business partner Devon Archer on April 13, 2014, contained information from a classified State Department memo one week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. The email predicted an escalation of Russia's “destabilization campaign, which could lead to a full scale takeover of the eastern region, most critically Donetsk":

“The strategic value is to create a land bridge for RU to Crimea. That won’t directly affect Burisma holdings but it will limit future UK exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular.

It will also result in further destabilization of UK nationally and for whatever govt is in power. And the US will respond with even stronger sanctions. Those sanctions will threaten the tenuous support of the EU which does not have the political will to incur steep energy price increases.”[8]

Senate investigators concluded,

The records acquired by the Committees show that Hunter Biden and his family were involved in a vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the globe. Hunter Biden and Archer, in particular, formed significant and consistent financial relationships with the corrupt oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky during their time working for Burisma and their firms made millions of dollars from that association while Joe Biden was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, received $3.5 million in a wire transfer from Elena Baturina, who allegedly received illegal construction contracts from her husband, the former mayor of Moscow. Moreover, Archer’s apparent receipt of money for a car from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan while Vice President Biden was in Kyiv is especially concerning in light of the timing. And finally, Biden and Archer’s work with Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that accelerated while his father was vice president and continued after he left office.

Biden and Archer found willing partners in Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime. Their work in China began at least in 2009, with the creation of Rosemont Seneca Partners with Heinz, Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson. Then, several years later, Biden and Archer formed BHR with Bohai Capital and received their business license approval in China shortly after Biden visited China with his father, Vice President Biden.

Hunter Biden’s connections and financial associations appear to have accelerated significantly after he associated himself with Ye Jianming, who had deep connections with the Communist regime and PLA. However, that didn’t seem to have any impact on Hunter Biden, who made millions from the relationship. Indeed, Hunter Biden and his family, to include James and Sara Biden, associated with other Chinese nationals such as Gongwen Dong. In one case, the three of them went on a $100,000 global spending spree after Gongwen Dong and Hunter Biden opened a joint account. In addition, Hunter Biden received millions of dollars over a period of years from Gongwen Dong’s companies. According to records acquired by the Committees, many of these transactions involved potential criminal financial activity.[9]

The $3.5 million from the wife of the Moscow mayor was payment for $200 million money laundering scheme to circumvent the Magnitsky Act.[10] Tens of thousands of dollars in payments to an Eastern European prostitution and human tafficing ring were also discovered.[11] No record of Archer or Hunter Biden filing as a lobbyist or agent of a foreign power under the FARA Act exists.[12]
