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.

Older Dems and suburban Karen’s could be swayed if the evidence shows Biden was corrupt.

If big tech and corporate media doesn't censor the evidence.

Is the timeline on this the same as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that everybody was all upset about?

I can see Hunter in the trunk of a car out to the Meadowlands.

A Hunter suicide would bring in the sympathy voter for sure, no profit in the car trunk.

Joe has suffered two anurisms according to Maria Barteromo. His debate with PDJT revealed photos of a medical shunt seen in enlarged photos of the inside of his right wrist, peaking out from his shirt cuff.

Joe could have a stroke or suffer from a series of mini-strokes at any point.Then why is he running? Simply: HES BEING FORCED TO.

The fact is that Joe would not be campaigning at all if he did not HAVE TO in order to protect his family’s ill gotten gains through international influence peddling with Americas enemies such as China. The Red Chinese Russians, Ukrainians and Iranians are forcing Joe to extend Joe’s ill gotten gains from betrayals of US International policy......OR ELSE.Joe is just an old man , a old F**K, who is a a victim of extortion as well as our Country’s international policy was a victim because of Joe.

It would be a HUGE mistake to elect Joe who will be extorted to sell America out over and over again. That’s why we need to PUT AMERICA FIRST. No more apologizing for the history of our USA. And no more selling out of American foreign policy.

Joe needs to go to his room, free to be the best geriatric former sell out he can be, never to be heard from ever again. Either that or he needs to be indicted.

My next question is: Why didn’t Hunter simply pick it up in the 90 days, fixed or not? I can think of a few answers. None that make Hunter look too good.

A better question would be why would a laptop or any computer with incriminating evidence on it be anywhere near a repair shop.

I stopped reading when you mention that shunt up his wrist. That crap rumor has been shut down by just about anyone who has had a port or IVs.

And shunts don’t drain outside the body. They drain into the interior of the body to be eliminated through the body.

So, they did “the drop by”.

That is where they happen to be walking by and they stick their head into the meeting. It’s never recorded anywhere.

These guys watched too much West Wing.

“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.

They spelled "misprision of treason" wrong, didn't they?

The Communists (literally) infiltrated all major institutions, including the government.

They are behaving as Communists everywhere always have: above the law until they are no longer convenient for the party, or until they step on the wrong higher-up's toes.

Then they have the nerve to think that "if only Comrade Stalin knew about this."

The only good Communist is a dead Communist. Literally. We should have nuked Stalin back in '46.

Is JOE the “BIG GUY” or is it OBAMA??

It’s Joe Biden. “Pop”, as Hunter calls him. Code name “Corn Pop”.

We the People need a civilian oversight board of the FBI. It should be Congress, but . . well . . .

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.


THIS!

Please Dear Lord, will THIS be the one time that we get to see a swamp creature get what it deserves?

Or will we hear a repeat of the Comey crap from 2016?

“FBI’s Wray says ‘no reasonable prosecutor’ would bring a case against Biden for emails.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s not at the Western Journal article URL, and it doesn’t show the man’s face so we need to know the source.

Y’all should be EXTREMELY careful of what you download and from where you get it.
