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.

“One source has Hunter saying his dad wanted a 50% cut.”

Actually, his dad, Joe, aka “Pop”. GOT a 50% kickback from all members of his crime family, according to Hunter’s email.

The email by Hunter to his sister mentioning that they had to kick back 50% of their ill-gotten gain to “Pop” (Joe) was interesting.

It was just the Bidens, taking care of poor old Corn Pop.

At some point one would think the executives at these news outlets figure out that they are in the business of making money. With their ratings someone has to be asking about ROI.

I keep wondering....when Obama took his cut, did he know Joe was getting 50%?

Would be "a frickin' riot" if Joe lied to Obama about his cut.

Maybe the vengeful Obama would even throw Joe under the bus.....

ROTFLOL......so delicious to contemplate them at each other's throats.

Joe would be thrilled with simply ending up “under the bus”. Most mafia hits end up with a obscure hole in the desert.

Laughable. The FBI isn’t investigating anything. This had to happen outside the FBI.

Big guy Joe gets 10% of the 10 million dollar chinese energy company run by a member of the chinese military consulting contract which is a million which Hunter indicates he will “hold” for him. We are not talking about only influence peddling but we are talking about good old time quid pro quo bribery, you know, the quid pro quo kind the Dems were trying to impeach Trump on

Half? That's a little more than just wetting his beak.

I have lost faith in the FBI and Justice Department, just as you apparently have. It is sad. Remember the time that the FBI sported a pristine reputation, (granted much of it orchestrated by the cross dresser), even to the point that there were many TV shows glorifying its reputation. I would be disheartened if I were a current employee of the FBI in how politicized it has become.

“There’s still time for more October suprises. From both sides.”

I don’t think that we have seen the Democrats’ yet. They must have something wired to blow.

At least Gloria Allred and her daughter should roll out some false sexual allegations. That has become an election season tradition in America.

Not so. Laz nailed it yesterday with his title for a Larry Schweikart Twitter thread.

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.
Fox News reported...ETC

Also, the FBI specifically told the guy to be quiet, pointedly saying, “Nothing happens to people who keep quiet”.

The guy is no dummy. He started talking. He let everybody know about the laptop, the copies, Rudy Giuliani’s involvement, and he also specifically referenced the idea that Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Smart.
