Hunter Biden demanded Chinese billionaire pay $10 million for 'introductions alone,' emails show
www.washingtontimes.com ^ | By Rowan Scarborough - Thursday, October 15, 2020

Hunter Biden was receiving a $10 million annual fee from a Chinese billionaire who has been accused of corruption and with whom he sought to increase the cash flow with a joint business ownership, an August 2017 email from Mr. Biden shows.

The money was for “introductions alone,” said Mr. Biden, son of Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden. Another email to Hunter Biden from a consultant says that a 10% stake in an unnamed company will go to “the big guy?” The “big guy” was not identified.

Hunter Biden hooked up with the billionaire, Ye Jianming, chairman of the CEFC China Energy Co. conglomerate, during his father’s vice presidency.

The emails were first reported by The New York Post on Thursday.

The newspaper obtained a cache of messages, documents and photos from a MacBrook Pro laptop purportedly owned by Hunter Biden, via President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Democratic candidate Mr. Biden has denied any wrongdoing.

His campaign said investigations into Mr. Biden and Hunter have “reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing.”

The New York Post stories have helped keep the allegations alive less than three weeks from Election Day.

Mr. Biden told donors Thursday that Mr. Trump is ratcheting up a “misinformation” campaign.

“We have 19 days left, and you know, he’s going to throw everything but the kitchen sink at me,” Mr. Biden said.

“I Hope you all cal do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro 30 years,” the text reads. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary.”

15 Oct: Gateway Pundit: House Republicans Ask Director Wray if FBI Was in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Laptop During Trump Impeachment and Hid Evidence from Trump Defense
By Cristina Laila
House Republicans on Thursday sent a letter to Director Chris Wray asking if the FBI was in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop during the impeachment coup of President Trump.
“If the FBI was, in fact, in possession of this evidence and failed to alert the White House to its existence that would have given even more weight to the president’s legal defense, this was a gross error in judgement and a severe violation of trust,” the letter says.

The letter was signed by 19 House Republicans, including Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.; Louie Gohmert, R-Texas; Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz.; and Jody Hice, R-Ga.

14 Oct: The American Conservative: Shhh! Don’t Talk About Hunter Biden
by Rod Dreher
The story might have been a one-day affair — except for Twitter and Facebook interfered to keep people from sharing it. Pete Spiliakos says it succinctly:

“That a politician has a failson engaged in influence peddling is not particularly interesting or new or likely to change many votes.
“That the tech oligarchs are colluding to cover for that politician is sinister.”
— Peter Spiliakos (@petespiliakos) October 14, 2020...

UPDATE.2: Big Tech pulling out all the stops this week. From the Wall Street Journal:

(excerpts WSJ) As a documentary, “What Killed Michael Brown?” has everything going for it. Its subject is timely, about the pre-George Floyd killing of Michael Brown by a police officer that set off riots in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014.
It’s written and narrated by Shelby Steele, the prominent African-American scholar at the Hoover Institution, and directed by his filmmaker son, Eli Steele. Its subject—race relations—is a major fault line in this year’s presidential election, one reason the Steeles scheduled their film for release on Oct. 16. Our columnist Jason Rileywrote about the film on Wednesday.
One problem: “What Killed Michael Brown?” doesn’t fit the dominant narrative of white police officers killing young black men because of systemic racism. As a result, says the younger Mr. Steele, Amazon rejected it for its streaming service. “We were canceled, plain and simple.”...READ ON

Where’s the beef? Biden only charged ten million for each introduction. What can ya expect for such a cheap price? Besides, I’d pay twice that for an introduction to Gal Gadot.

Sorry, I think she’s a beauty but I wouldn’t pay half as much for a lot more than an introduction.

That statement is a gross over simplification, naive flippant description of it’s seriousness and overall mindless mischaracterization of what went on.

A google search for

Hunter Biden $10 million Chinese billionaire

will show the extent of the media bias. They all need to be shut down and their assets redistributed.

I wonder if Hunter was declaring “half your salary” to the IRS?
