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.

Investigating or covering up?
The shop owner said the FBI told him “bad things don’t happen to those who keep quiet”.
He considered that a threat...
I trust the FBI less than ‘gas station Sushi’...

These disgusting excuses for humans always tell you what they’re up to.

Always ‘hiding’, in plain sight.

Sickening.

And the Beau Biden Foundation charges for those work shops on top of everything.

I agree, but I believe the opposite to be true of Democrat voters. Older Dems and suburban Karen’s could be swayed if the evidence shows Biden was corrupt. They may not full grasp what is going on, but maybe a commercial comparing Biden to Tony Soprano would help.

The Beau Biden Foundation is nothing but a “Beard”. It’s cover for the perverted slime that is the Biden Crime Family. Everything about them is learned from the Mafia.

Wow wonder if Joe claimed all those 50 percent payments and paid his income tax on them.

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.

50% would be a considerable amount of money. An inquisitive fellow might be interested in exactly how that money was laundered. Was any of it 'on-books', or did it all go to foreign accounts? One might think the FBI would be interested in knowing if SlowJoe have any Swiss or Caribbean bank accounts. Somehow I doubt the FBI is looking at that at all. Should be really easy to trace through FINCEN.

I truly wish that people would post the correct amount of Hunter’s ill gotten money from Burisma. He got $83,333.33 a month-—a cool $1 million annually.

I also hope that the owner of that computer repair shop is being pout into Witness Protection...yesterday...

HDD 1 of 3: Horrific child porn as a starter.

HDD 2 of 3: Xi plans, contacts and available blackmail material of key US assets. Ukraine data.

HDD 3 of 3: Bioweapon data & plans for the drop that’s coming.

So I’ve read and heard. Might be all wrong.

His ex-wife was still after him as well. I highly suspect he cancelled his email and phone number that was on the repair invoice.

If Trump wins big and feels he has a mandate, Wray will be gone before New Years. If the election ends up in the courts he may survive a bit longer.

I may be wrong, and often am, but this is how I view our country today. We have created a ruling class of often corrupt politicians. The average citizen no longer trusts the government. Our government protects the corrupt people in power. People of all races no longer trust law enforcement. Law abiding Blacks & Hispanics have, right or wrong feared police at the local level for along time. I have a cop friends whom I trust, but I no longer trust the Federal Agencies or our intel apparatus. This is not good! This is a dangerous time. Law abiding Blacks have long held a distrust for government at all levels. Law abiding people of other races also fear the Federal apparatus. What is different now is your average law abiding white male distrusts all levels of government as well. As the government encourages more out right hostility towards white people for political expediency they have created an explosive situation they are not in control of. You now have all races in this country despising and distrusting Federal Law enforcement and Intel agencies. People like Wray and the MSM exasperate the situation by protecting the corruption instead fighting it.

I’m surprised he didn’t use an alias. Maybe he figured he would throw some weight around by using his real name instead of Joseph McGee. Biden more recognizable in Delaware and all.

What was wrong with the computer?

My next question is: Why didn’t Hunter simply pick it up in the 90 days, fixed or not? I can think of a few answers. None that make Hunter look too good.

Hey! I’m glad Hunter was a forgetful dummy who put his broken personal computer in the hands of a sharp business owner!

I suspect Hunter thought the data was long gone but the repair shop owner decided use disk recovery software which can recover deleted files. According to the repair invoice, Hunter brought in 3 computers for data recovery. Totally odd.

Really?! Have we still not learned how this works? There will be an “investigation” to shut people up, and 6 months from now they’ll say there’s no there there and the world moves on.
