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.

Any idea why Hunter was in Prescott AZ in 2016? Vacation? Escape from subpoenas?

Maybe the vengeful Obama would even throw Joe under the bus.....

Ears did try to dissuade Joe Bananas from running. I thought originally because he wanted someone else but on retrospect, he may have been concerned what skeletons Joe could bring forth upon careful examination.

The only thing missing from that picture, hidden by the sign, are the pre-pubescent children.

FBI Director Wray:
“We have taken possession of Hunter Biden”s computer which proves that President Trump is correct to ask for an investigation. We can now bury that evidence and proceed with the President Trump is investigating a political opponent in an election year and is abusing his Presidential powers narrative to aid in his impeachment. We can now proceed with striking back on the attacks on the FBI leadership and ensure that no President ever again challenges us or interferes with the way we conduct our business on behalf of the country. No President should ever believe that we are accountable to them rather than they to us.”

I saw a NBC Norah O’Donnell report this morning where her correspondent (forget the name) said the MO is to put all the e-mails on a laptop Hunter never owned and drop it off at a repair shop, thus “laundering” the data into the public sphere.

It was amazing. And untrue.

The Denial and Self-Deception are out there.

So then, Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop porn content, which carries a “Beau Biden Foundation” sticker completely abdicates the foundation’s “mission”......

Why am I not surprised?

The Commie October surprise already occurred. It was the arrest of the “Nazis” planning to kidnap that commie from whatever shit hole state. She had a speech and everything blaming Trump for violence. You just forgot about that because the entire nation forgot about it the day after since we’ve seen too much leftist bullshit to take it seriously.

Biden’s media pals claim that nobody knows who brought the laptop to the repair shop, who owns it, and who put the emails on it.........

......now a receipt surfaces signed by Hunter himself ....when he dropped it off for repair......

They’ll use that to wrap up, bury and keep buried the actual evidence. That’s what the FBI and DoJ specialize in these decades...

Agreed. Sure is unique how Bitem’s spawn’s door is not kicked in at dark-thirty AM with news cameras just happening to broadcast it all.

I can see the headline tomorrow:

Rudy Guiliani arrested for possessing child porn. Involved in elaborate conspiracy with unknown Russian agents to libel and slander the good Biden family. Isaac who was a key player in the scheme is missing and is presumed to have fled to Russia.

So foreign policy for the country of America was based on what kind of money the Biden’s could get and I’m sure Obama was in on it too. This man can’t be president nor should he be allowed to run. He’s a huge security threat and Trump should hammer this. The nerve of the left to call Trump a security threat.

That’s what Guiliani said. And how did the laptop get waterlogged? Did Hunter take it to a swimming pool?
