…Hunter hooked Burisma up with Washington DC consultancy Blue Star Strategies, run by former Clinton administration officials, and Pozharsky spelt out their role in a November 2, 2015 email.
He wrote the ‘ultimate purpose’ of their work was ‘to close down for any cases/pursuits against [Zlochevsky] in Ukraine.’
Pozharsky was unimpressed that Blue Star’s written proposal for the job didn’t include a promise to lobby top American diplomats – which would have required the firm to register with the US Justice Department as a foreign agent.
But Hunter and his partners indicated that the firm just didn’t want to put it in writing.
‘I would tell Vadym that this is definitely done deliberately to be on the safe and cautious side and that Sally [Painter, Blue Star COO] and company understand the scope and deliverables,’ Hunter’s business partner Eric Schwerin wrote privately to Hunter.
Pozharsky wrote: ‘If you and Devon [Archer, Hunter’s friend and fellow board member] feel comfortable that they will deliver what in real terms we are talking about, we should disregard the wording of the scope and move further with signing and starting actual work.’
‘Devon and I do feel comfortable with BS [Blue Star] and the ability of Sally & Karen [Tramontano, CEO] to deliver,’ Hunter replied on November 5, 2015.
