First, Joe Biden's Praetorian Guard in the media argued that the New York Post's Hunter Biden scoop was "Russian disinformation." The DOJ, FBI and DNI each publicly disagreed. No one in the Biden camp has denied the veracity of a single email thus far. Yet, as of this writing, the Post's Twitter account is still frozen, and most major news outlets won't report the story.
The next deflection was to play on your emotions: "How dare you mock a father struggling with the addiction of his son?!" This isn't about Hunter's addictions, predilections or life choices, but about his favor-trading, and whether a presidential candidate benefited from them during his tenure as vice president of the United States. We shouldn't mock those with addiction, but a person isn't inoculated from scrutiny merely because he's an addict, either.
Today, a Wisconsin reporter finally asked Biden what he thought about Senator Ron Johnson accusing his family of profiting from Hunter's shady arrangements.
It should be said that reporters have adopted a pusillanimous positioning in which they refuse to ask Biden straightforward questions, but rather frame their queries as accusations from "the right." In this case, Biden teed off on Johnson, who he claimed "should be ashamed of himself" for suggesting that the Bidens "profited off" the family name -- an indisputable fact, and one that Hunter himself has admitted. Biden went to claim that the "vast majority of the intelligence people have come out and said there's no basis at all" -- a complete fabrication. What he didn't do was answer any specific questions.
If all of this is really so wild and crazy conspiracy theory -- "spaghetti being thrown at the wall," as one CNN host claimed -- then Biden would be champing at the bit to dispel it. In fact, he very well might have some good answers to the questions that journalists ought to be asking him. For instance:
In 2018, you bragged that as vice president you had threatened Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko with the withdrawal of United States aid if he didn't fire state prosecutor, Victor Shokin. You called Poroshenko on Feb. 11, 12, 18 and 19 and demanded he fire the prosecutor -- only days after the prosecutor had seized Burisma owner's property. Did you know at the time that Shokin was investigating Burisma, the oil company that was paying your son Hunter more than $50,000 a month? Did you ever talk to your son about Shokin?
Last year, in an interview with Axios, you claimed that you had no idea what Hunter was doing at Burisma. Yet, in 2015, two Obama administration officials had raised concerns to the White House about Hunter's relationship with the oil company, worried that the relationship undermined the administration's anti-corruption message. Did you hear about these complaints at the time? Were you troubled that Hunter's leveraging of the Biden name might look like influence-peddling? Why did you think he was making so much money?
Similarly, though you have claimed that you had no idea what Hunter was doing at Burisma, an email found on Hunter's laptop -- now verified as authentic by Fox News -- shows an executive from the oil company thanking your son for facilitating a meeting between you and he while you were still vice president. Did you take that meeting? If so, did you talk about Hunter's work? If not, what did you talk about with the executive?
Have you ever financially benefitted from Hunter's relationship with Bursima or any Ukrainian company -- or has he held money for you in trust from any such a deal?
Again, you claimed in the past to have no idea about Hunter's business, but yet he accompanied you on Air Force Two flight to China in 2013. Two years earlier, you reportedly met with Chinese Communist Party members and favored billionaires in Beijing as vice president, in a meeting facilitated by Hunter's associates. What did you discuss at this meeting?
Hunter's emails also claim that you would be getting a 10% share in a deal he struck with a Chinese energy firm -- that he secured trading in on the Biden name. Did you ever benefit financially from this deal, or any other deals made by Hunter in China, or has he held money for you in trust from any such a deal?
There may well be excellent answers to all these questions. Journalists, of course, won't even investigate these incidents now, much less put the presidential candidate on the spot.
This thing isn’t going away.
The journalists will have no choice — they will eventually cover it.
It will be amusing to see them transition from “We don’t need to ask questions; we won’t waste our time investigating; we know there’s nothing there” all the way over to “The trial starts soon and the charges are serious”.
“Did you ever benefit financially from this deal, or any other deals made by Hunter in China, or has he held money for you in trust from any such a deal?”
For the answer to this, check the surrogate/alter ego laws.
bump
Duck, deny, delay is the Democrat way won’t ever change.
From the Sun:
“10 held by H for the big guy?”
Joe never, ever takes dirty money personally. Joe has principles.
What happened to the child porn allegations, Rudy???
These nuanced financial deals are difficult for John Q public to understand. But child porn? That’s pretty simple. If you got the goods, Rudy where the hell are they?
The child prorn is equivalent to the cartoon proceeding the News and feature film.
The child porn is collateral and not the significant crime
Not my writing. This is from a Wrongthink website:
“Q: Why would a crackhead, who can’t possibly be competent in business, get those jobs?
A: The only reason would be because he’s the son of the Vice President.
Q: Why would you want to hire the son of the Vice President?
A: To give him money, for which he then rewards you by giving you access to the Vice President.
Q: Why would you want access to the Vice President?
A: So he would use the power of his office to do favors for you.
We have all of that on record:
Hunter Biden was hired by Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that was engaging in all kinds of fraud following the chaos of the revolution in 2014.
Burisma was being investigated by a Ukrainian prosecutor.
Hunter introduced at least one executive from Burisma to Joe.
Joe then publicly demanded that the prosecutor that was looking into Burisma be fired, under threat of cutting money to the country.
The Ukrainian government fired the prosecutor.
This is very simple.”
All of that is blatantly obvious. The media will ignore it. William Barr will dither in hopes that Biden will win so it will all go away. It’s up to President Trump. Biden is a crook.
What Joe Biden means by "Pay the price."
Yep = all I could think about last night when Joe was saying he never took one cent from a foreign country = was Bill Clinton saying “it depends on what the meaning of “is” is.”
Of course Joe didn’t directly take the cash - he took it from Hunter. Kept his hands “clean”.
The child porn is collateral and not the significant crime
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We are talking about swaying voters.
Hunter Biden naked and smoking crack with a 14 year old and emailing dad about it and dad not stepping in is not the more significant crime or issue as far as voters deciding who gets their vote?
This is about Biden being compromised and open to blackmail, especially if he’s elected president.
For not investigating this, Barr is the bigger crook, IMO.
Remember we are talkin about people who have not decided who they are voting for yet. In other words, morons. They will understand child porn. They won’t understand these financial dealings.
Was it emailed to Quid Pro Joe? I assumed that the video files with this gross stuff and the emails are two separate items housed on the same computer. If Quid Pro Joe was emailed this and did nothing, it does speak volumes about his character but I don't think he ever saw them.
Everybody’s lying except Joey.
The final totals haven’t come in on Joe yet. BTW did anyone else notice his legal cop out, “I never took any money from foreign governments?” No,he took it from his family who took it from the foreign governments.
