President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday that the federal tax probe targeting his son Hunter Biden’s murky financial dealings is “Russian misinformation,” and called the reporter who asked for comment on the probe a “one horse pony.”
As he walked off stage after a press conference in Wilmington, Del., Biden was asked by Fox News if he still believed The Post’s exclusive reporting on the contents of his son Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian misinformation,” in the wake of reports that some of those damaging emails were part of the federal probe.
“Yes, yes, yes. God love you, man. You are a one horse pony, I tell you,” he responded.
The Post in October revealed correspondence between Hunter Biden and his business associates, which showed him trying to land lucrative deals in China and Ukraine by trading off his famous father’s influence, in some cases involving the elder Biden directly.
During the press conference, the former veep was pressed on whether he has spoken with potential candidates and his team about the investigation into his son’s overseas business dealings.
“No, no, I guarantee you I’m going to do what I said,” Biden responded.
“The attorney general of the United States of America is not the president’s lawyer. I will appoint someone I expect to enforce the law as the law is written, not guided by me.”

He cops a “nice guy” personna by day. Then heads the Biden Crime Family by night.
W/ his carefully groomed “nice guy” image, Biden can wheel and deal without arousing suspicions.
Yep, it's a lot like the old SNL depiction of Reagan as pretending to be friendly and doddering, then instantly turning into to an aggressive leader in the Iran-Contra stuff when out of public view. Only in Joe's case, it's true.
How did the Russians send emails from Hunter Biden’s computer with Hunter Biden’s ID on them? Joe Biden should get his ass kicked for making such a stupid statement as this. He is really deficient in the IQ department.
He obviously meant to say “dog faced pony soldier.”

I suspect Hunter is going down big time especially now that the IRS is involved. They will try to circle the wagons and protect Joe, though.
Joe Retard misspoke - he actually meant Russian mis-IDENTIFICATION ... because CHINA!
How can you take down the son without implicating the father when the father’s influence was the product?
These people continued to give Hunter money so how/why would they do that without getting something in return?
Did Hunter or James Biden offer some great insight with their stratospheric business acumen or did Joe provide something of value?
You have to ask the question over and over. Money was exchanged and even laundered for goods and services.
I don’t think we have even seen half of what happened. Hunter said he is amending his tax returns. Wouldn’t we all be so lucky to be able to do this if we “forgot” to pay taxes on 400k many years ago? Oops.
I will be very surprised if Hunter is charged criminally. He will pay some fines, clean up some back taxes, and the media will praise Joe for it.
He will never get the Manafort treatment.
You are a one horse pony
who knows where the hell his scattered brain roams to it selects a word any word will do.
I don’t think Joe Biden has the mental acuity to change batteries in a remote control.
Trying to trick Joe but he's too clever for you. He knows there is no remote for his 8 track cartridge music player.
Junkyard dog, yes, but not his lawyer.
I'll bet it's all his wife's doing: "You have to sound tough, Joe ... a take-charge, no-nonsense attitude must come out of your mouth even if you don't know what year it is. You're not going to shorten my already-anticipated short stay at the White House before the Left replaces you in a few months!" (should Trump not prevail which is still entirely possible!)
“Yep, it’s a lot like the old SNL depiction of Reagan as pretending to be friendly and doddering, then instantly turning into to an aggressive leader in the Iran-Contra stuff when out of public view”
That was an all time classic skit with Phil Hartman as Reagan.
I have to say, Biden and his senility is ripe for another classic SNL skit.
It was a devastating retort back in 1913 when Biden was a kid.
A functioning press might press Biden a little on his very questionable excuse. Instead it’s just crickets. The only place you see it covered is in partisan tabloids like the NY Post.
The man is so stupid he’s dangerous.
Russia-China began the so-called "peace mission" series of joint war games back in 2005. They claim it's about combating terrorism, but only a fool would believe that, as the games are large scale and increasingly elaborate. Also in this alliance are Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, and a few other US-hostile regimes.
Recall, Bill Clinton's treasonous ChinaGate scandal began in late 1996...
From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."
______________________________________________________________________
"Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants."
______________________________________________________________________
The exercise started on August 19, 2005, and consisted of combined land, sea, and air elements simulating an intervention in a state besieged by terrorists or political turmoil.
It concluded on August 25, 2005. The force practiced air and naval blockades, an amphibious assault, and occupying a region. Approximately 8,000 Chinese troops took part along with 2,000 Russian troops.
China initially wanted to hold the exercise near the Taiwan Strait, Russia wanted to hold the exercise in Northwestern China near central Asia, but instead settlement was made on the Shandong Peninsula.
There are a number of reasons for the exercise, including:
China is the largest consumer of Russian military technology. The exercise will showcase the Russian weapons including the Tupolev Tu-22M and Tupolev Tu-95 long range bombers.
The two countries are by far the most influential in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the exercise will help to strengthen military ties.
Both countries have stated that the exercise is not directed at any one country, but many believed to be a show of force against the United States and particularly Taiwan.
The United States was not invited to observe the exercise, but did observe using satellite reconnaissance.[citation needed] The stated reason for the exercise is counter-terrorism; however, many analysts agree that the use of such heavy firepower, including long-range bombers, is not necessary. ...”

Below, from The Ministry of Defense for the Russian Federation website, Feb 3, 2020...
Military representatives of the member States of the Shanghai cooperation organization (SCO) signed a joint Protocol on the results of the second round of consultations and staff negotiations.
The signed agreement includes issues of comprehensive support of troops and the plan of the exercise stages. Also, during the joint work, the participants visited the Yurginsky training ground, where they conducted reconnaissance of the main stage site.
In addition, the foreign military inspected the place of overcoming the water crossing on the equipment. This will be the first experience for some participating countries.
The consultations were attended by representatives of 8 countries - Russia, India, Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The negotiations were led by the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Central Military District, Major General Rustam Minnekayev.
The anti-terrorist exercise “Peace mission-2020” will be held in August on the territory of the Central Military District at the Yurginsky training ground in the Kemerovo region.
During the exercise, the military personnel will have to work out the tasks of preparing and conducting an anti-terrorist operation by the joint group of troops (forces) of the SCO member States.

Reporting from Moscow —
Neither Russia nor China has one inch of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea, making it an unlikely and provocative venue for their first joint naval war games.
The 10 days of maneuvers that got underway Monday will include live-fire exercises in the strategic sea connecting Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The point is lost on no one: A powerful new alliance of eastern giants is flexing its muscles in the very backyard of Western Europe — much as China has done on its own in the Pacific.
The war games follow Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow, where he headlined Victory Day celebrations and spent three days making billion-dollar deals with Russian President Vladimir Putin. ...”

The drums are already rolling for the upcoming Russian “Vostok” (east) wargames commencing on September 11. With its focal point in the Trans-Baikal region of eastern Siberia adjoining Chinese Manchuria and Mongolia, this is a nationwide Russian military and societal event.
Touted by Russian minister of defense Sergei Shoigu as “unprecedented in scale, both in terms of area of operations and numbers of military command structure, troops, and forces involved,” Russian state press is declaring that up to three hundred thousand troops and one thousand aircraft will be involved, with the majority from the Eastern and Central Military Districts.
This would be even larger than the near-legendary Zapad-81 maneuvers held in the western USSR during the depths of the Cold War. ...”
