Hunter Biden Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad

Hunter is the family bag man who gives everyone else plausible deniability.

"My toubled (54 year old) child, struggling with addiction".

 

also I think WaPo's companion article on Biden's China dealings is even more troubling, and potentially damaging, than the laptop article

A Washington Post review confirms key details and offers new documentation of Biden family interactions with Chinese executives

Hillary should be locked up for Vince Foster!

Why didn't Fatboy get it done???

 

Can you say "impeachment hearings in 2023"? I know you can....

 

can you explain in a sentence or two what exactly is in the emails? what crime was committed?

if either biden did anything illegal or impeachable they should be held accountable. most non-partisan hacks will agree.

the problem for republicans though is the blatant hypocrisy we once again see on display. the party that twice refused to hold trump accountable for his offenses and crimes has no leg to stand on with regards to any improprieties by the bidens and you know it texxx.

 

Mean tweeting is not a crime. And President Trump pretty clearly committed no other. But from the evidence that is coming out related to Hunter's activities, it sure looks like his dad probably did, and not just some trivial thing, or just one time, either.

 

lol. we both know he wasnt (twice) impeached for "mean tweeting". what a blatantly dishonest take. why would you even say that? lol.

what specifically is on hunters laptop? what evidence of criminal activity is on there? this is like the 5th time ive asked and none of yall can answer.

i dont give two s**ts about hunter biden. if he did anything illegal he should be held accountable. like i said, most non-partisan hacks would agree. but the problem for republicans and trumpers is that yall clearly only care about holding people accountable when they have a "D" in front of their name.

 

mojoman... dishonest? Say it ain't so Jo!

 

Fox News or not, this is pretty damning

 

I haven't read the WaPo story because it's behind a paywall but from what I've seen on other reporting is that Hunter Biden's dealing with the PRC energy company started in 2017. At that time the Joe Biden was no longer VP. That would make it seem difficult to tie official action by the Obama Admin. that would've benefitted Hunter Biden.

So far from what I've seen Hunter Biden is very shady and likely guilty of several crimes. I've yet to see any compelling evidence that Joe Biden did anything to benefit Hunter Biden's schemes in his capacity as VP, President or Senator.

 

Yeah this argument that Trump was impeached for mean tweeting is more obfuscation. He was impeached the first time for attempting to shake down the leader of another country for dirt on a political opponent. A leader of a country that is currently being invaded by another country on behalf of a leader that Trump has lavished praise on and who he says he trust more than the US intelligence services. He was impeached the second time for fomenting an insurrection and dereliction of duty. Just to note that Trump is the not only the first President to be impeached twice but the first to have Senators of his own party vote for removal.

 

except that Hunter supposedly says in one of his emails that his father (the "Big Guy") took half of his earnings from one of the deals. Can't speak to the truth or the falsity of that claim, simply this is one of the items being discussed right now. Cannot speak to whether such income flow to Joe Biden would be legal or illegal, but again, that is one of the issues being examined right now.

 

Is there any other evidence that such transaction did occur?

Hunter Biden says a lot of stuff. Like our former President he's a con man.

Further if such transaction took place after Joe Biden wasn't in office that might not be illegal nor a quid pro quo regarding any benefit from an official government position.

 

Can you post the text of it, or a link to it? My googling just gave me an old revelation that Hunter paid for Joe's cell service, minor repairs to a house, and other little domestic expenses.

 

not sure, it may in fact be that claim, newly-evidenced

 

I haven't followed this thread. Whatever Hunter did, I have a few questions.

What does it have to do with Joe Biden? Was he a government official and involved in whatever "illegal" or "unethical" activities by Hunter? What about now? Has he pressured the DoJ to stop the investigation? Fired the FBI or some lead investigator? Obstructed justice? Or even "mean tweet" about it being a hoax or how much everyone is going after him?

 

Damning to the press? Nay, context is warranted and at that time, no one believed a politically pushed story without evidence.

What would be damning is they published something without good evidence to support it or they authenticate it and then hide that fact. Those belong more to the tabloid of the world and extreme political media.

 

Well, this vagueness about allegations is the Achilles heel of the Hunter scandal. There's a lot of innuendo and no specifics. When you ask someone talking in innuendo to provide specifics, they disappear. You're well-read. If it exists, I trust you can find it.

From my brief reading about Hunter spending "half his income" on paying for the family, it sounds like a simple exaggeration for effect. The quote is from a text to his daughter where he threatens to cut her off. He says, "I love all of you. But I don't receive any respect and thats fine I guess -works for you apparently. I Hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro 30 years. It's really hard. But don't worry unlike Pop I won't make you give me half your salary." Sounds hurt and resentful, and probably without much care to being accurate. Sounds like Hunter did pay significant money (significant to me -- maybe tens of thousands a year for over a decade), but not because Joe doesn't have his own money -- more like because Joe is overly aggressive in dodging taxes and disclosures that he can't put his money in a place where he can easily access it to pay some bills (which isn't great, in and of itself). But, family members covering expenses for one another is common, probably commendable, and usually not corrupt.

The insinuation that comes with this reporting though is that it disproves the claim that Joe Biden never benefited from any of Hunter's business dealings. And sure, technically it does. But I have a real hard time believing that Joe Biden would be influenced to misuse his office because he relies on his son to pay his phone bill. Doesn't mean he isn't crooked -- just means the phone bill story is irrelevant. We need harder evidence than that: Joe Biden actually distorting government policy, or using the weight of his office in making demands on others, or money flowing into his bank accounts (and more than the $2,600 needed to fix a retaining wall). Short of that, it's still just innuendo.

 

all excellent points, and this is the reason why it's good to have those ultimate journalistic Truth-Hounds, the New York Times and the Washington Post, now on the hunt, instead of that Rupert Murdoch-tainted rag the New York Post sniffing the bushes

 

I'd love to see a comparison of the benefits Hunter got under with his Dad as President compared to what Ivanka and hubby, JR, and Eric reaped in financial business gains by jacking up their hotel prices and profiting off of housing secret service and staff at their luxury golf courses every weekend, by JR's book endorsements, deals in Israel and the Middle East, Ivanka's Chinese patents, and those Executive White House positions. I bet the difference in money made by Trump and his kids is billions.
