Uh Oh: Here's Why the FBI Is Now Investigating Hunter Biden's Emails
Townhall.com ^ | October 16, 2020 | Matt Vespa

Well, I’m sure you all know the October surprise by now. Hunter Biden is back. We have emails. And it looks like former Vice President Joe Biden has been exposed as a total liar regarding his son’s shady business dealings. The New York Post had the scoop. They’ve been churning out stories about Hunter’s business arrangements, which was never asked of Joe Biden during his town hall event with ABC News. Talk about safe territory. 

The elder Biden has said that he didn’t know anything about his son’s business ventures. Well, that’s just not true Joe. Hunter was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. Hunter knew squat about energy but was put there in 2014—earning $50k/month. He was there to sell access, allegedly, to top Obama officials. Burisma got that (via NY Post):

Among the emails on the hard drive was one which indicated Hunter Biden introduced his father to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm who was at the time under investigation before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine to fire that prosecutor a year later.

The emails were on Hunter’s MacBook Pro, which he dropped off at a repair shop in Delaware in April of last year. He didn’t pick it up, so the owner made copies and also turned the computer over to the FBI, who had this for months. What were they doing, especially since we have reports that the FBI is reviewing the emails as part of a possible foreign spy operation (via the Hill):

Biggs/GOPers to Wray: Was the FBI in possession of the laptop and hard drive that was documented in the New York Post article?
2. Did the FBI take any steps to authenticate the laptop, hard drive, and data that was uncovered?— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) October 15, 2020

Federal authorities are investigating if emails allegedly discovered on a laptop at a Delaware repair shop discussing Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden’s activities in Ukraine were connected to a foreign intelligence operation, NBC News reported Thursday night. 

Two people familiar with the matter told the network about the federal investigation.

The FBI took the laptop and a hard drive through a grand jury subpoena that was later published by the New York Post, a conservative newspaper

The FBI declined to comment to The Hill on the reported probe, citing its standard practice of not confirming or denying an investigation.

[…]

The New York Post said the repair shop owner, identified by the Daily Beast as John Paul Mac Isaac, informed the FBI and a Giuliani associate the laptop belonged to Hunter Biden because of a sticker on it for the Beau Biden Foundation, a charity for his deceased brother. 

“Before turning over the gear, the shop owner says, he made a copy of the hard drive and later gave it to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello,” the Post said. “Steve Bannon, former adviser to President Trump, told The Post about the existence of the hard drive in late September and Giuliani provided The Post with a copy of it on Sunday.”

Regarding the emails’ authenticity, well, not even the Biden camp can outright deny it as fabrications. They’re probably not. Hunter is a swamp creature—and that aspect got a lot of sunshine over the past 24 hours.

Yet, we might have a spy operation now. We’ll keep you posted.

>> the [shop owner] made copies and also turned the computer over to the FBI,

Well, I hope the shop owner made numerous copies and sent to them to numerous enforcement agencies — ya’ know, given the FBI’s inventory problem.

One of the people on an explosive email thread allegedly involving Hunter Biden has corroborated the veracity of the messages, which appear to outline a payout for former Vice President Joe Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.

It is coming out drip by drip like a leaky faucet. Some of my daughters millennial friends were actually discussing this.

I think they (big tech) are fools in this case. Let the story out now, Biden can fight it, call it fake news, a smear job while he has time to refute the story or spin it. Convince his supporters this is just more Trump dirty tricks, Biden may even win a few votes

By censoring the story now, they risk the story coming out along with the attempted cover up just days before the election. The cover up makes this story stink to high heaven. I won't hurt Trump, he can just say “I heard about it like everyone else, if true it is shocking.” Millions vote early but the bulk of voters will vote 3 Nov. With no time to spin it, Biden will be hurt by the story true or not. I heard Twitter has been called to testify before Congress, the the DOJ and others are looking into big tech and they could see their immunity gone even if Trump lost the election. They are also looking at election tampering charges. I think they will decide protecting Biden is not worth it and the info gets dumped on social media before the election but too late for Biden to spin it.

"Remember the time that the FBI sported a pristine reputation, (granted much of it orchestrated by the cross dresser), even to the point that there were many TV shows glorifying its reputation"

I grew up on those (radio!) shows!

Waco & Ruby Ridge removed much of the gloss.

But up-clpose and personal observation of of FBI "culture" while I was investigating the Murrah Building collapse forever cured me of any respect for the FBI and its "Get somebody to prosecute -- and DON'T Make the FBI Look BAD!!" attitude.

The FBI has had the info from the hard drive for a year and thus far has done squat concerning it?
Once again the FBI is garbage and once again covers up illegal democrat activity?
Only reason this is coming out is cause it was done without the FBI.
And what ever happened to Anthony Weiners Laptop?
Oh yeah, the FBI covered that all up too.
