    I am a little jealous of the life Hunter Biden seems to have lived.

    New Emails Raise New Allegations of Influence Peddling By Hunter Biden And Direct Knowledge Of President Biden

    https://jonathanturley.org/2021/07/...using-access-to-his-father-for-mexican-deals/

    excerpt

    As in the past, Americans interested in such stories have had to rely on the foreign press or a couple domestic sites for such information.

    The new emails include references to the use of Air Force II by Hunter Biden to pursue the deals — a similar pattern revealed with regard to the China dealings. The emails detail a number of visits to Mexico, including a February 2016 flight on Air Force II with his father. On the plane was his business partner Jeff Cooper, who ran Illinois-based SimmonsCooper. That is one of the largest asbestos litigation firms in the country and Hunter was given 3 percent of Cooper’s venture capital firm Eudora Global, according to emails. President Biden’s brother (who featured in past controversial deals) was also reportedly involved in some of these efforts.

    These dealings continued into 2018 as Hunter pushed for deals with Slim. One text message from July 24, 2018 reads “Spoke to my dad about ‘Slim ask” and Cooper responds “Oh that sounds SO F’ING GOOD.”

    ***
    The new emails contain additional information directly contradicting President Biden. In addition to earlier pictures from golf trips and references to his involvement or knowledge, new material refers to a notable dinner arranged in Washington, D.C.

    Hunter arranged for then Vice President Biden to have dinner on April 16, 2015 with his Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates. They appropriately chose a private room at Café Milano, a Georgetown restaurant that brags that it is “Where the world’s most powerful people go.” After the dinner, Hunter received an email from Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, to thank him for introducing him to his father: “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.”

    It is clear that Hunter Biden was selling access and influence. It appears that Joe Biden was aware of that effort. That is very serious. If these emails are false, this is a major story. If they are true, this is a major scandal. Presumably, however, this story will result in another run to the nearest ice cream shop for breathless coverage on the current frozen delights of the President.​

    With these influence claims, in regards to Trump, people who make those allegations towards Trump can express the quid and quo part of the quid pro quo as in the Trump adminstration doing favor for said entity they are attempting to influence that goes against US policy that even his own members of his own party were confused and against the action. For example: Ivanka has her trademarks approved to sell her merch in China and Trump removed sanctions on the second largest telecom company in China in ZTE. That matches the criteria. It goes against the recommendations of US intellegence and GOP legislators were confused about the decision.

    Can you do the same? Can you point me to a foreign foreign policy decision made by the Biden or Obama admin that was a result of Hunter's alleged influence peddling where the policy change was against US interests and members of his own party were perplexed?

    I always appreciate these reminders of what the previous president's children did... the daughter that had special deals with China, the coked up older son that left his wife for a fox news personality, and all the kids seemingly getting around tax laws the entire time that dad was president. Well, not all the kids... seems the daughter he dislikes because she isn't skinny and the youngest son he cares so little about that he cheated on his mom with a p*rn star while she was home with the newborn son.

    Hmm... what did Biden's son do?

    This is pathetic. The allegation is that Hunter Biden arranged for business associates to meet with his vice-president father and they had a good time? Someone explain where the corruption is?

    I keep on asking certain posters who push this narrative to tell me what the "quo" here is in the alleged quid pro quo. I have yet to receive an answer.

    @Os Trigonum ? @dachuda86 ? @Commodore ? @basso ?

    Can you read? This post just sums you up as a poster. In the post where he asks the question you turn around and ask what the question is. No wonder you are so easily duped by right wing propaganda. They don’t ask you to think merely tell you what to think.

    Nope, not my problem, its all yours. I have heard recognizing that you have a problem is a good first step though.
