    Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.

    The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.

    “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.

    An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.

    The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.

    Don't care.

    As long as Trump and his grifting family are there, none of what Hunter did matters. It pails in comparison to the theft by the Trumps.

    This. If this involved trump, it would be a story. Trump should disavow white supremacists everyday but biden can be openly racist and praise his deceased KKK buddy.

    Non-story. Move on. No one cares about burisma.

    1. I'm going to go through a few issues with the NY Post article on Biden, which I won't link to, but you will probably see on Twitter today. Follow along if interested.

    2. First the information comes from a laptop that was allegedly "dropped off at a repair shop in Biden’s home state of Delaware" and never picked up. The "shop owner," who is not identified, "couldn’t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden"

    3. The "shop owner" thinks it was Hunter Biden because of a Beau Biden sticker on the laptop. This makes no sense. You drop off an expensive Mac laptop at a repair shop and don't leave your name or contact information?

    4. But then, after claiming the shop owner couldn't identify the customer, the piece includes a receipt that was issued to "Hunter Biden" and includes an email and phone # So why would the shop owner produce a receipt for Hunter Biden if he didn't know the ID of the customer?

    5. The piece claims the shop owner then alerted the FBI to the existence of the laptop and it was later subpoenaed by a grand jury. But the grand jury subpoena shown does not connect the laptop to Hunter Biden.

    6. Then things get very weird. The shop owner says, before turning over the computer to the feds, they made a copy of the contents of the computer and gave them to Rudy Giuliani's lawyer Mmmmhmmmm

    7. The New York Post allegedly learned about this copy of the laptop through Steven Bannon. Both Giuliani and Bannon are regular sources of disinformation

    8. But this is the important point. Pretending, for a moment, that everything in the story is true (very doubtful) it is totally inconsequential. Supposedly one "email" recovered on the laptop "proves" that Hunter once introduced a Bursima exec to his father.

    9. This is a scandal? There is no word on the length of the meeting or what was discussed. The New York Post says its significant because Biden then called for the ouster of the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Bursima. FALSE The prosecutor was not investigating Bursima

    10. The prosecutor was corrupt, which is why the entire international community was calling for his ouster. Replacing the corrupt prosecutor brought more scrutiny on Bursima, not less

    11. Allegedly, the laptop Hunter "forgot" to pick up also contains a 12 minute video of him smoking crack and having sex with an unidentified woman.

    12. Nevertheless, this incredibly sketchy, totally unverified, and ultimately irrelevant story is being promoted by mainstream journalists who don't work for the New York Post. Don't be fooled by that.

    13. I should clarify that, assuming the email is legit, it doesn't establish that a meeting took place. Just that Hunter offered an "opportunity" to meet his father.



    So, much ado about nothing...AGAIN !!!

    No one with integrity is actually voting for Trump.

    Joe Biden could shoot a man on fifth avenue today, and I'd still vote for him over Trump.

    A corrupt Ukrainian energy company that's being investigated for corruption employs the crackhead son of the VP of the United States of America who has zero experience in the energy industry to be on their corporate board and pays him 50k a month to smoke crack, provide access to Obama officials and funnel money to his father. Yup non-story

    There are many reasons why this isn't interesting or incriminating. I'll just go with a couple.

    1. The prosecutor Biden pressured to have fired was corrupt. It wasn't just pressure from Biden but pressure from our European Allies and others around the world. The prosecutor should have been fired and Biden was correct to apply pressure to have him fired.

    Anyone against the firing of the prosecutor is defending corruption.

    2. Neither Biden nor Hunter received any reward from having the prosecutor fired other than a job well done.

    3.(Hypothetical) If there was something wrong with what Biden did, what he's being accused of pales in comparison to Trump family nepotism and corruption. It isn't even close. That wouldn't excuse Biden had he done something wrong, but because of Trump's exponentially greater amount of corrupt practices and higher severity of his practices, people will be numb to these charges against Biden. So using this baseless attack wouldn't be successful even if it had merit. It's poor strategy in addition to being dishonest.
