Joe frequently updated Hunter on his whereabouts and political event schedule: “[I] just spoke to
Maryland dems1736 in Baltimore[.]”1737 Even Hunter’s “side ladies” were apparently involved in the
conversation about Joe’s candidacy: “He [Joe] thinks [that] forcing [yo]u to be with Hallie is better for
his [pResidential] campaign[.]” The female was furious with Hunter for other reasons: “So you used
me … Next time[,] don’t call me when you say you want to kill yourself and ask me to help [yo]u … [I
am] [o]nly 5 years older then [sic] your daughter [Naomi]. We have mutual friends and I’m sure you
[would] never want a man to do what [yo]u have done [to] me! … Is this all to keep [yo]ur dad safe[?]”

A longtime1739 apparatchik at Amtrak, Brian Gallagher1740 shared a close relationship with Hunter and
urged1741 Joe to run for the pResidency. Gallagher repeatedly conveyed—while he was a career
federal employee—his desire to “be a part of” Joe’s future presidential campaign. Gallagher also
conspired with the late Amtrak chief, Joe Boardman, to violate 18 USC § 641 by sharing nonpublic,
proprietary information about Amtrak’s operations with Hunter and sought Hunter’s “guidance” on the
material. Gallagher dreamed about Hunter becoming the front-man CEO of Amtrak and posted a
photo with Joe a couple weeks before the latter announced his 2020 campaign for the presidency.

Former Congressman Bob Brady (D-PA-1) sought approval from Hunter to make signs for Joe to be
displayed at Brady’s political event. Bob has been a union fatcat1744 and party chief for the Democrats
in Philadelphia for decades. Naturally, Brady is now trading in on the connections he made while
living on the public dole—such as with Joe and his family—to lobby for behemoth corporations in D.C.
