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.

Hmmm. Did Obama make good on his offer to loan Joe money to pay for Beau’s cancer treatments? I believe I saw such an arrangement mentioned on a thread about Biden’s many homes. Would a loan repayment plan be off the media’s radar? Certainly something they could ignore. Seems like a way that money could be juggled.

"Another interesting Hunter email, this one to a female family member, indicating that Joe Biden required Hunter to send Joe 50% of Hunter’s income."

Yes!

This is absolutely key to the whole thing.

The Ukrainians couldn't just cut Joe a check, but they *could* hire his son, pay him a ridiculous salary, and Hunter could then give "Pop" his cut.

It's corrupt to the core.

And it explains a lot about how Lunchpail Joe made untold millions of dollars while VP.

“People like Wray and the MSM exasperate the situation by protecting the corruption instead fighting it”

Exacerbate

This was well written, echoing my thoughts and those of many others. You should re-post on Parler and everywhere you can.

I would like to know when pelosi knew of the copy of the hard drive and what did she do with it. The shop owner said he sent copies to Pelosi at about the time she did the hard push for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Was the driving force for the impeachment to cover up not only the Bidens, but the Kerrys, the Clintons, and higher up (obama)? What was the conection to the twerp ‘whistleblower’ that was never formally identified? Colonel Vindman? The State Department hacks?

Surely our Government is looking at records of the Burisma executives identified in Hunter Biden’s email and checking with passports and records of entry into the united States to see if these people were in our nation and the dates they went through customs. Surely they are checking the logs of all visitors to the White House and Vice Presidents office to see if any Burisma executives named entered any of these facilities regardless of any logged or scheduled meetings to verify if these executives named cold have or were able to meet with Vice President Biden. Surely there is a paper trail being looked at by the Government and journalists to connect the dots. Surely there is a paper trail for a chain of custody by the FBI for the laptops that were obtained through subpoena and are safely stored at FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. and have not disappeared or been destroyed. Why would the FBI destroy evidence? Surely we are still a nation of laws and justice for all. Surely?
