White House STILL insists Joe was not involved in Hunter's business dealings as Karine Jean-Pierre is hit with barrage of questions on WhatsApp message to Chinese businessman and his state dinner invitation
Daily Mail ^ | 6/23/23 | Rob Crilly

The White House did its best to fend off questions about how much Joe Biden knew about his son's business affairs on Friday, amid fresh evidence that the two may have been in cahoots.

Once again officials insisted that they stuck by their line that Biden was not involved in Hunter Biden's dealings.

But as reporters repeatedly asked about a newly revealed WhatsApp message, in which Hunter said he was with his father as he pursued a Chinese contact to make good on a deal, officials stonewalled.

First came National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.

'I am not going to address this issue from this podium. I'm just not going to do it,' he said, before concluding his portion of the briefing.

'All right. Thanks guys. Have a great weekend.'

Next in the firing line was Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who said White House counsel had already dealt with the matter.

'Nothing has changed and I will leave it there,' she said. 'Anything else I will refer you to the White House counsel.'

Yet plenty has changed in the view of journalists lobbing questions in the briefing room.

This week details emerged from an I.R.S. whistleblower of a WhatsApp message apparently sent by Hunter to his Chinese associate Henry Zhao in 2017.

'I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,' he wrote.

'Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.'

A photograph obtained by DailyMail.com shows that he was at his father's home on the day in question, July 30, 2017.

I dont know how they pay her to stand up there and make a complete fool out of herself but the pay must be good

It's not the pay, it's to be a "historic figure"

Karine Jean-Pierre: I am a historic figure.

That was like Spiro Agnew’s mistake — he thought he was still entitled to pay-offs after he left state/local politics — but bribe money is habit-forming, and it’s hard to go cold turkey, especially if, like Hunter, one has an addictive personality.

Everything about biden is a lie, getting tired of hearing about him. He is being held account for nothing and things are not going to change.

We 80 year olds grew up in a time of the West Point Lonesome end. Then plausible deniability was built in during the 60s and 70s.

I can’t imagine a situation in which a successful politician and bureaucrat has not set up a plausible deniability lifestyle for the inner circle.

Never again a smoking gun. Only Hansel and Gretel drop cookie crumbs.

And we thought Joe was dim witted while Trump played 4D chess ... BIden has been playing googelplex dimensional chess all along, he may well be the most brilliant politician in modern times.

What do you think will happen if he can get Trump thrown behind bars during the Democrat primaries ?

They Dem rank and file will literally worship him as a living deity and nobody will be able to touch him or his family ever.

Biden WH Changes Story: From ‘Never Discussed’ to ‘Not in Business’ with Hunter

Which leads to this...
In Hunter Biden case, a WhatsApp smoking gun?

The White House and Democrats in Washington hoped that Tuesday's announcement of a plea bargain in the Hunter Biden investigation would mark the end of questions surrounding what Republicans call the "Biden family business." They were wrong. Really, really wrong.

These traitors need to stay alive, at least until their sentence of being onetime rope testers is carried out.

There is NO other leverage Hunter could possibly have had with those foreign leaders.

DOJ gave him a pass, now the evidence comes out? Well, he’s not going to lose a second of sleep over it, unless his laughter keeps him awake.

At some point common sense takes over.

They’re making $5 Million dollar deals and there’s no product. Hunter’s not registered to represent a Foreign Country (a Felony).

Why are there 20 Shell LLCs and why is the money being sent to Cypress?

And in this deal, they exchanged emails and said the Big guy would get 10% and Joe’s living in Mansions that he couldn’t afford at 8x his Salary.

Why does Joe lie about when there are pictures of him with Hunter’s Foreign partners?

Why did the FBi Director (former) send Joe $100,000 and send an email to Hunter saying it’s for future work with you AND DAD.

They are pre-occupied on several other bash Trump threads. Give them time to catch up.
