Biden Says He Never Discussed Hunter Biden’s Ukraine Deal. Hunter Says He Did

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed he never discussed Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. However, a July article from The New Yorker belies that contention.

“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Saturday in Iowa before calling on President Donald Trump to be investigated over a phone call he made to Ukraine’s president.

The New Yorker article, titled “Will Hunter Biden Jeopardize His Father’s Campaign?” is an in depth look at Hunter Biden’s life and business dealings. It also contains a segment where Hunter apparently recalled discussing Ukrainian natural-gas producer Burisma “just once.”

In December, 2015, as Joe Biden prepared to return to Ukraine, his aides braced for renewed scrutiny of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma. Amos Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, raised the matter with Biden, but did not go so far as to recommend that Hunter leave the board. As Hunter recalled, his father discussed Burisma with him just once: “Dad said, ‘I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I said, ‘I do.’ ”

The inconsistency was pointed out on Twitter by Daily Mail U.S. political editor David Martosko:

One of them is right, the other is wrong
Break the tie, audit the bank accounts
Audit the real estate holdings
Audit the cash Joe pulls in from speaking engagements

Silly you. Of course he is still wrong. You can’t change that just because there are no witnesses.

Lurch had the same problem, sort of. He’d park in a disabled space, leave without paying his check at restaurants, jump in line at movies and theaters, and when challenged would say, “do you know who I am?” PTSD, of course. He spent three months in ‘Nam.

Joe is smart enough to know he needs to listen to Ukrainian complaints or Hunter’s deal vanishes.

I have to explain the climate change ruse to my father once a week. He can have a perfect understanding of the hoax and week later ask me “This climate change thing must be a problem because it’s in the headlines all the time.”

Yet he can recall with perfect clarity the names of his 2nd grade pals and the “gang” they were in .

The statement by the son is not proof of a discussion.

“I remember going over (to Ukraine), convincing our team … that we should be providing for loan guarantees. … And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from (then Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko) and from (then-Prime Minister Arseniy) Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor (Shokin). And they didn’t. ...

“They were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, ... we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, ‘You have no authority. You’re not the president.’ … I said, call him. I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. ... I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.”

In this case, it’s close enough since Biden can’t remember squat.

You’re not doing it wrong if no one sees you.

Maybe Old Joe needs a little of Hunter Biden’s cocaine stash to wake up.

Did he discuss Hunter’s coke addiction? His discharge from the navy under a cloud? Does he know he has a son named Hunter?
......
Naw. Just Golf and Grandkids.

When someone says, “I’d like to introduce Joe Biden!” He looks around to see if he knows him.

“Stand up Chuck. Where are you? Stand up!”
