Spinning the Press on Hunter Biden

Speaker Kevin McCarthy, announcing that the House of Representatives will pursue an impeachment inquiry, suggested that the probe will hinge in part on deceiving the American public about Hunter Biden’s foreign business ventures.

“President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business deals,” McCarthy said at a press conference. GOP lawmakers, he added, have “uncovered credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct.”

Such an investigation will likely force an examination of the public narrative regarding Hunter Biden’s consulting deals that go back at least a decade. During President Obama’s second term, then-Vice President Joe Biden was the administration’s point man on the nation’s policy toward Ukraine, a perch he used to urge the country to adopt sweeping ethics reforms to resist “the cancer of corruption” and enact sweeping ethics reforms.

At the time, some American journalists began to question whether the vice president’s stern message was undermined by his son Hunter Biden’s employment at the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, which was owned by a notorious local oligarch.

For the Scherer inquiry, laptop emails show, Hunter’s business associates settled on a strategy to deflect the most direct questions and obfuscate the true intent of Burisma’s attempts to sway U.S. government officials.

Their boy Hunter being indicted is just like the night of 8 November 2016 for the mainstream, turd rolling “media”. Once again things aren’t going the way they insisted that they were supposed to.

...a perch he used to urge the country to adopt sweeping ethics reforms to resist “the cancer of corruption” and enact sweeping ethics reforms.

Perhaps there can be sweeping proof-reading reforms which will enact sweeping proof-reading reforms in this article's newswroom?

Obama appointed then-VP Joe Biden point man WRT the nation’s Ukranian policy, a perch Biden hypocritically used to urge “sweeping ethics reforms” to resist “the cancer of corruption” and enact sweeping ethics reforms.

Yet, some American journalists began to question whether the stern message was undermined by Hunter Biden’s lucrative employment at the energy firm Burisma, which was owned by a notorious corrupt Ukranian oligarch.

Laptop emails show, Hunter’s business associates settled on a strategy to deflect the most direct questions and obfuscate the true intent of Burisma’s attempts to sway U.S. government officials.

Corruption everywhere. Was Obama also getting his share of the 10%?

But Pelosi’s son is on those same Ukrainian oil and gas company boards. And Romney’s son. And Kerry’s son. And Biden’s son is getting the smallest “salary.”

[Liz]

Smallest salary? Cant believe anything a Biden says.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Could be. Could be. Hunter is widely noted as “earning only” 83,000.00 (”per month” is not mentioned by Biden’s national press corpse.

Annually? That is a much more readily remembered as “only” 1 million. Per year.
