‘Unusual’ Hunter Biden email reads like a State Department briefing. Was it?
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/28/23 | Elizabeth Stauffer

Posted on 01/28/2023 2:17:46 PM PST by Libloather

The White House has repeatedly refused to answer questions about the special counsel investigation into President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified material. However, a “source familiar with the matter” told CNN that the documents included “U.S. intelligence memos and briefing materials” about Ukraine , the United Kingdom, and Iran dating from 2013 through 2016. This is important, especially when we consider who might have had access to Biden’s documents.

There is likely no individual more familiar with the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop than New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who literally wrote the book on it. On Wednesday, she said during an interview that “there seems to be a link between [Joe Biden’s] classified documents and Hunter Biden.”

Searching the laptop for relevant material, Devine stumbled upon a remarkable email Hunter had sent to his business partner, Devon Archer, on April 13, 2014, that stood out from all the rest. It was intelligent, informed, significantly longer than the others, and very well-written. It sounded, in fact, a lot like a State Department briefing.

Devine said it “looks very much like it came from a classified briefing. At least, it has the flavor of an official briefing, perhaps a classified one.”

“And it's a very uncharacteristic email for Hunter. It's unlike anything else. Well-written, very lengthy. It's 1,300 words. It's very detailed,” she explained. “It has a lot of information in it, very strategic geopolitical information about Ukraine. It lists 22 points about Ukraine, about its political situation, about the upcoming election. … It also predicted that Russia would escalate. It also predicted that the U.S. would apply sanctions very confidently. And so you wonder: Where does Hunter Biden get this information?”

More likely, it was taken from a document stored in the garage. You know, one marked CLASSIFIED.

I am VERY IMPRESSED with the old-fashioned investigative journalist yeoman’s work that Miranda Devine is doing. She found the smoking gun, without a doubt.

Now TPTB will toss that smoking gun in the lake.

I’m sure that if some member of Donald Trump’s family was getting classified briefings from cabinet-level departments and then making business deals with foreign governments for billions of dollars, the MSM would look the other way as they have for Hunter Biden.

And as they did for Hillary Clinton.

Of all of the high ranking politicians found to have classified documents, only one has been making money through their contacts with our foreign enemies using a crackhead son who, without any experience, seems to be in great demand by those foreign countries for what he “knows”.

CLEARLY this story bears all the hallmarks of classic Russian disinformation.

Of course it was lifted from a briefing. Read his other emails. Hunter couldn’t even spell many of those big words on his own, much less know the meaning of them, or put them together in a coherent sentence! I suspect Hunter was dreadfully neglected as a child in favor of Beau. Maybe he had a little more energy as a child which was hard to redirect to positive activities. Heir and the spare, so to speak.

Yes, of course it’s from a briefing that is born Classified.

But, they had an Investigation of Hunter Biden open since 2018.

It would take 20 mins to look at be briefing Biden got 45 days from the email - and BOOM thete it is, however, they are there to protect Hunter and Joe.

Hunter also tells his “Business of partners to all get an untraceable Burner phone on the same day, and he is, too.

What Legitimate Business uses untraceable Burner Phones?

The point is Joe controls the FBi. He ordered a Raid for his daughter’s diary after raiding three people for copies of Hunter’s laptop he legally forfeited.

If he is an actual lawyer, I suspect he is a recent graduate. And, from a school that no longer teaches “Ethics”.

I was kind of stunned by the contents, which nobody seems to comment on—destabilizing UK and disparaging NATO to a far greater extent than Trump ever did.

He or “the big guy” most likely paid someone competent to take the bar exam in his place.

Also, from reporter Sheryll Atkisson:

...An April 13, 2014 email allegedly from Hunter Biden to his then-business associate Devon Archer refers to traveling to Houston “tmrw.” Secret Service records show a travel record for Hunter Biden from April 13, 2014 – April 14, 2014, to Houston, TX.
An email from Ukrainian business official Vadim Pozharskyi of the energy firm Burisma to Hunter Biden and Archer on May 12, 2014 reads: “Following our talks during the visit to the Como Lake and our further discussions, I would like to bring the following situation to your attention.”
Secret Service records show a travel record for Hunter Biden to Lake Cuomo, Italy on April 3, 2014-April 6, 2014....

Connect the dots: 4/21 - WH picks Neil Eggleston as new counsel; a week later, Rhodes email pops up
one man’s opinion...
Posted on 5/3/2014, 7:24:35 PM by ken5050

Everyone missed what is now, in hindsight, a crystal clear signal that the White House knew that the buffalo chips were about to hit the fan; and that they are very worried.On April 21 (2014), the White House announced that Neil Eggleston would be the new counsel to the president. It didn’t get much notice, but in light of recent events, it’s a really big deal.
