District of Columbia “lifer,” Andrew Schwartz, wanted to make sure Hunter knew that he was “all in” if
Joe ran for pResident.1745 Bearing the resemblance of a slightly younger Harvey Weinstein, Schwartz
has worked for years at a UAE-funded1746 “think tank” called CSIS (which previously hosted1747
Hunter for a panel on foreign aid) as its “Chief Communications Officer.” Schwartz’s so-called political
analysis amounted to sending Hunter a Politico article1748 written by another infamous1749 D.C. life
and circuit rider, divorcée Juleanna Glover, which advocated for a Biden-Romney “unity ticket.”1750

When What Who

12/14/2018ff “You need to help Uncle Joe run for President.” 1-202-679-0168

Beginning in December 2018 and running through the following spring, the aforementioned Chinese
honeypot—and Hunter’s former colleague at the CCP-connected entity, Hudson West III—BAO JiaQi
repeatedly urged Joe to run for president in iMessages to Hunter: “Uncle Joe should run for President
in 2020. You [Hunter] should not be distracted by that Nee [sic] York Times article from yesterday.”

Less than a month before Hunter dropped off his laptop at the repair shop, BAO pleaded with him to
stay focused on Joe’s future campaign: “You should not be distracted by random media articles. You
need to help Uncle Joe run for President. Your father really should run for 2020 for this country. He
will be one of the best presidents in our1751 country’s history! … Not only for our country and for [the]
American people, his party, [but] also for Beau and for the spirit of your family, he really should run!”
An anonymous comment (shown below) from an online article1752 explained the situation quite well.

BAO rattled on—in her broken English—about how Trump was actually nepotistic, not Joe, who she
said was the “most qualified.”1753 The obvious question—which no media outlet has asked—was why
BAO felt comfortable sharing this advice with Hunter. Her iMessages and emails with Hunter
indicated that they had spoken about Joe’s political ambitions in great detail. BAO confessed that she
“cherished” her relationship with him and kept Hunter’s “doggy chain” necklace. Congressman Eric
Swalwell (D-CA-15) and Joe’s son could trade stories for hours about their Chinese honeypots.1754

When What Who

01/02/2019ff “Any man who can triumph over dementia is a giant.” 1-646-642-5032

Hunter knew that Joe had dementia and urged him to run for pResident anyway.1755 Hunter’s former
psychiatrist—who had postulated in 2012 that Joe had dementia1756 after Joe’s vice-presidential
debate performance—brought up his mental condition in two separate iMessages. Hunter wanted to
bring on Joe as “our first guest” to a podcast the two1757 were planning, but his partner asked: “Does
he recall details tho[ugh], with the dementia and all?” Hunter responded: “Not much these days but
since it’s all fake news anyway [so] I don’t see the problem.”1758 The following month, Hunter again
acknowledged Joe’s impaired mental state, but his interlocutor only seemed concerned with being
appointed Surgeon General should Joe win the election, stating that Joe was “the answer… The only
plausible answer[.]” Unrelatedly, Hunter was disgusted by Beto O’Rourke running against his father
and believed Beto was “plucked from obscurity” and had “such a pretensions [sic] fucking name[.]”

Loyal Biden crony, Jeff Cooper, “want[ed] to do some work with” Hunter, according to Joe.1759 Hunter
was appreciative and sent the following thought experiment: “I told D[evon Archer] this— Start [at]
2/1/23 and work your way back to 2/1/19. How do we get there only taking into consideration the
variables we have real influence over and direct knowledge of … in light of new possibilities[.]”1760
