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.

Trump needs to clean out the entire FBI when he wins in November. First thing.

I have no idea, but it sounds like you do. My guess would be the second choice, or did he visit Jeffrey Epstein out there?

Exactly – – the FBI had the disk drive since last December and if not for the computer repair guy, we wouldn’t even know about this. They had intended for this story to stay buried.

This is a separate scandal in itself.

“he has a receipt that Hunter himself signed when he dropped it off.”

Ha ha ha! Too bad the place doesn’t have camera surveillance at their counters like pawn shops have.

Talk about demented criminals. You hear last night on Tucker, Rudy said that one of the people who is named in that group with Hunter is Whitey Bolgers son or grandson ( can’t recall which one he said.)

Let’s face it...

Plugs is NOT smart enough to be the first guy in Congress to come up with a scheme like this. How many OTHER Congress critters have THEIR grown children in unearned positions of power - either in government or media???

Really? - Joe is the first and only? He’s THAT brilliant?!?

If people believe that, call me... I’ve got a bridge for sale..

They probably do have security cameras but record over things at one month intervals. They don’t hold images forever.

Who but Rudy Giuliani to ferret out a crime family!
We are lucky to have Trump and his friends on our side.

You know it is not going anywhere. That it will disappear. The FBI is now a part of the Democrat Crime Machine. And has been for a decade or decades. In the history of the World, a more corrupt organization has not manifested itself.

Oops, I got Arizona and New Mexico mixed up. My apologies. Epstein’s ranch was in NM, not AZ. What are your thoughts on the Prescott visit? I don’t know anything about the place.

FBI, big tech, obama/bush/clinton bureaucrats, China, Dems all seem to be on the same team. All desperate to make Trump lose.

Why hasn’t the President called Wray into office regarding not telling the President about national security/bribe incident with the possession of the laptop?

Not understanding why Wray isn’t fired for derelection of duty in not notifying Sentate Intel committee, President, AG, etc.

You’re right; they’re all over the place.

Personally, I have strong feelings about McConnell and his relationship with his Chinese in-laws who are businessmen.

That only looks like Hunter Biden smoking crack and getting a BJ.

The guy said he contacted Mike Lee and one other Republican regarding what he had back around impeachment and they ignored him.

Thanks to Mike Lee and the other Republican, never got exposed when it could have helped the President.

Rudi said today on Fox that the attorney for Hunter Biden called and asked if he could have his laptop back. Rudi said, big mistake in asking that question as it proves it was his laptop.

Since people at the DOJ and FBI are charged with the responsibilites of enforcing and prosecuting the laws and since any large group of people contains those who are corrupt, logic says that both organizations have always had a certain degree of corruption present. That being said, I believe the arrival of the Clintons put corruption there on steroids. If you remember, one of Bill’s first acts as president was to fire all the sitting US Attorneys to be replaced with his people. Remember, power corrupts.
