>FBI to bury 'Whitey' Bulger's file, agency rejects Herald public records request
>Wonder Why?
Bulger continues to say that he was asked to discuss "the need for a contracted Chinese anchor investor."
In that email, Bulger also suggests Biden and Archer discuss "high level research" with another associate from Thornton, Mike Leonard, on the "KAZ/Sino energy business" so that they "both can review."
In addition to his own business deals, Hunter also involved Bulger in his family’s business matters. Fox News Digital reported last October that John Owens, who is married to Valerie Biden Owens, President Biden’s younger sister, reached out to Hunter in May 2014 for assistance in securing a business license to expand his telemedicine company in China, saying it needed to be "secured very quickly."
Owens, who goes by Jack, emailed Hunter Biden on May 9, 2014, informing him that his companies, MediGuide America and MediGuide Insurance Services International (MISI), reached a "serious stage" in negotiations with a China-based insurance company, but said he wouldn’t be able to "seal this deal" without a "Chinese Business License."
Owens, who goes by Jack, emailed Hunter Biden on May 9, 2014, informing him that his companies, MediGuide America and MediGuide Insurance Services International (MISI), reached a "serious stage" in negotiations with a China-based insurance company, but said he won’t be able to "seal this deal" without a "Chinese Business License."
"Time pressures are very tight, plus the fact that we do not yet have one has caused a slight credibility bump in the company's mind. This all translates into a need for a Business License, and one secured very quickly," Owens wrote. "While this might seem to be a mundane task, I have come to understand that matters such as a Business License can end up taking an inordinate amount of time…..time we just do not have."
Within the hour, Hunter turned to Bulger by forwarding the email to him. Michael Lin, a Taiwanese-American businessman who has been involved in a nonprofit that partnered with a group known for pushing propaganda supporting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was also copied on the email.
"See email below. It's from my Uncle Jack. Is there a way we can help him expedite this? Time is of the essence here," Hunter wrote.

Bulger responded the next morning and said he would discuss with Lin how they can "help." Three days later, Bulger sent an email to Hunter saying, "Me and Michael had a call with Jack this morning I think we have a solution for hi[s] China problem."
"Michael and Ran are researching the regs and laws right now but our Thornton WOFE will likely be ok for Jacks company to use," Bulger continued. When he mentioned "WOFE," he was likely referring to the wholly foreign-owned enterprise of the Thornton Group, the company Bulger and Lin co-founded.
It is unclear whether Bulger and Lin were able to successfully secure the business license for Owens or whether Thornton’s "WOFE" sufficed China’s laws. However, MediGuide’s website says it has come to "an agreement with AnyHealth Shanghai," which "will be legally representing MediGuide International LLC in China."
Hunter appears to have been aware that Bulger was the nephew of the notorious mobster.
One 2011 email, obtained by Fox News Digital, shows one of Hunter's business associates forwarding a news article of Whitey Bulger's 2011 arrest to Hunter, his Rosemont Senece co-founder Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin, with the subject line: "Jim's uncle…."
Bulger didn't immediately return an email seeking comment.
Hunter has been under federal investigation for his "tax affairs" since 2018, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Fox News first reported in December 2020 that Biden was a subject/target of the grand jury investigation, a well-placed government source told Fox News. According to the source, a "target" means that there is a "high probability that person committed a crime," while a "subject" is someone you "don’t know for sure" has committed a crime."
The federal investigation into Hunter Biden was predicated, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions.
Another source familiar with the investigation told Fox News in December 2020 that the SARs were regarding funds from "China and other foreign nations."
