Gal Luft, the fugitive “missing witness” of the Biden corruption
investigation, has offered new evidence to the House impeachment inquiry
about an FBI mole who tipped off Hunter Biden that his Chinese partners
had been named in four sealed indictments in 2017 by Manhattan federal
prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.
The Israeli professor and former Israel Defense Forces officer has been on
the run for six months after skipping bail in Cyprus, where he was
awaiting extradition to the United States on gun-running and foreign
lobbying charges, also brought by the SDNY.
In an open letter to Reps James Comer (R-Ky.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and
Jason Smith (R-Mo.), the three House committee chairmen running the
impeachment inquiry, Luft claims that the tipoff to Chinese executives of
CEFC came on the same day that the first son wrote a WhatsApp message
shaking down another CEFC employee for millions of dollars over a “highly
confidential and time sensitive” matter while claiming his father was in
the room with him.
“I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the
commitment made has not been fulfilled,” Hunter wrote to CEFC employee
Raymond Zhao on July 30, 2017, in a WhatsApp message that was presented to
Congress in June during testimony by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.
“I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every
person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will
regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call
with my father.”
Later that night, CEFC executive Patrick Ho, who was staying in a hotel in
Manhattan, received an urgent call from CEFC president Chan Chauto in
Shanghai, who told him to leave the US immediately, according to Luft, who
speaks to Ho regularly.
The next day, Ho flew to Hong Kong, where he remained for four months.
Quite a ‘problem’
Zhao told Hunter in a follow-up WhatsApp on July 31, 2017, that “CEFC is
willing to cooperate with the family. He thinks now the priority is to
solve the problem mentioned last night.”
Luft believes the “problem” and “highly confidential and time sensitive”
matter that Zhao and Hunter discussed was the secret SDNY indictments.
Within nine days of the WhatsApp shakedown, CEFC would wire $5.1 million
to entities in the US to transfer to Hunter.
Luft, who also had been earning money through a partnership with CEFC,
flew to Hong Kong to see Ho on Aug. 14, 2017, two weeks after his sudden
departure. Ho told him about the SDNY indictments, and that Hunter had a
mole inside the FBI who had tipped him off. The Chinese nickname for the
mole was “One-Eye.”
“The existence of a potential mole within the FBI and/or Justice
Department who conveyed to Chinese individuals information about sealed
indictments has, apparently, to this day never been solved,” Luft wrote in
his letter to Comer. “Perhaps Congress should investigate the issue as
part of its impeachment inquiry.”
The tipoff to CEFC executives came at a crucial stage in their
negotiations to buy into Russian state-owned energy company Rosneft and
came just 10 days before a curious meeting between a CEFC employee in
Albania and disgraced G-man Charles McGonigal, then counterintelligence
boss at the FBI’s New York Field Office, which had been surveilling Ho and
his associates. McGonigal pleaded guilty Friday to concealing at least
$225,000 in cash payments from a former Albanian intelligence official.
On Sept. 8, 2017, CEFC announced its plans to acquire a $9.1 billion stake
in Rosneft.
On Sept. 9, 2017, McGonigal met Dorian Ducka, a CEFC employee and Hunter
Biden associate, in Albania, according to his indictment. Albanian Prime
Minister Edi Rama also was at the meeting. At Ducka’s request, McGonigal
urged Rama to be careful about awarding oil field drilling licenses in
Albania to Russian front companies.
On Sept. 10, 2017, Hunter signed an attorney engagement letter to
represent CEFC’s Ho for a $1 million retainer.
According to Luft, sometime in September 2017, Hunter and his uncle Jim
Biden flew to Hong Kong to meet Ho and asked him to buy them two “burner”
iPhones before telling him the coast was clear to go back to New York. But
when Ho returned to the US on Nov. 17, 2017, he was arrested at JFK
Airport on charges of bribery and money laundering.
Ho’s first call was to Jim Biden, looking for Hunter. Hunter then asked
another lawyer, Edward Kim, to do the legal work. Kim asked Hunter in an
email the afternoon of Ho’s arrest to “find the names of the FBI agents
you spoke with, that would be helpful.” Hunter replied: “Working on it.”
On Nov. 19, 2017, McGonigal had another meeting in Albania with Ducka,
according to his indictment.
How McGonigal fits into the Biden-CEFC picture is still to be determined,
but he was in charge of FBI counterintelligence in New York at the time
when the SDNY was surveilling Ho and his associates, so he must have been
aware of Hunter’s connection.
Comer described the information contained in Luft’s letter Sunday as
“helpful” and said he looked forward to investigating his allegations
about an FBI mole. His committee still is interested in interviewing Luft.
“We get a lot of tips, and the next step is to verify the accuracy of the
claims,” he said.
Shady characters
Luft’s timing is fortuitous because the Biden corruption impeachment
inquiry beginning Thursday will refocus attention on China. Comer is set
to reveal two new tranches of evidence this week, including a new Chinese
wire to Biden family members and new documents provided by the IRS
whistleblowers.
Comer also hit back at Democrats’ criticism of his inquiry for seeking to
interview shady characters, saying: “That’s a reflection about Biden, not
our inquiry.”
When Democrats first smeared him in June for wanting to interview Luft,
whom they branded a “Chinese spy” because of his association with CEFC,
Comer had a devastating comeback: “All I know is that [Luft] was getting
money from the same company the Bidens were getting money from … Is the
president’s son a Chinese spy? They took money from the same company.”
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) interjected: “Who cares if they had money from the
same company?”
And that is probably the most perfect summation of the Democrats’
untenable position of defending the indefensible as the impeachment
inquiry kicks off this week.
