In what is being described as a “blockbuster” story, Hunter Biden is shown to have set up a meeting between his Ukrainian business associates and his father Joe Biden, who was Vice President at the time. A computer shop owner in Delaware received the computer in 2019 from someone whom he could not definitely identify as Hunter Biden, but the contents certainly point to it being his computer. Regardless, these documents are out there now and they once again blow holes in the narrative Joe Biden has tried to spin about him and his son’s dealings overseas. Remember, the elder Biden has repeatedly said he was completely ignorant of his son’s business connections in Ukraine, for example. https://twitter.com/DanScavino/status/1316375525364035584?s=20 That now appears to be officially debunked by these newly revealed emails. Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post. The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month. “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads. An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf. The continued efforts to pretend that Hunter Biden wasn’t involved in influence peddling has become laughable. This was a man who was making tens of thousands of dollars a month to sit on the board of a foreign energy company while he was setting up meetings between those associates and his vice president father. Aside from the emails, there were also pictures and video showing Hunter Biden doing lewd activities, sexually and drug wise. That’s no surprise given his history. Of course, that is something that would be made a major story if this were a Republican involved, but these are Democrats so this will all be swept under the rug. What we do know is that Joe Biden lied. He has met with multiple business associates of Hunter Biden and had to have known about what was going on. That he’s been able to escape answering questions about this is a travesty as we move closer to election day. Steve Deace’s Summary of NY Post bombshell story on Biden and Ukraine: 1) The whole time they were accusing Trump of Ukrainian collusion, they were doing it. 2) A shady foreign operative literally put in emails to Joe Biden’s son “how can you use your influence (which we’re paying you for) to help us” and “thanks for introducing us to the vice president.” Who then later did what they wanted him to do by using his leverage to get rid of the prosecutor looking into their business dealings a few months later. 3) [...]
