"The reference to 'the Big Guy' in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden..."

"I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.... The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist controlled China,"

Say it ain't so Tony! Joe Biden told a fib? Nope--just a flat out lie like any good lying dog faced Pony Soldier would.

Charlie said...

I'm sure there's an innocent explanation for all of this!

Lucid-Ideas said...

It isn't just Biden or Pelosi. And it isn't just Democrats. We need to get to the bottom of the methods and means by which public servants have entered representative government in this country as staunchly middle-class (or less) and end up leaving as multi-millionaires. This has been happening for 40 fucking years.

No one with a brain can let themselves believe that any such monumental accumulation of wealth in public service can be gained by anything other than at best surreptitious means and at worst downright corruption.

Enough is enough.

Twitter will never back down on the New York Post without a raised seal statement from the FBI that the emails are authentic, which by their “confirm or deny” policy, they know will never happen. Same with the Washington Post and the New York Times. Fox and even CBS are going tot their sources to be told that the emails are authentic, and since the big two know what the answer will be, they simply won’t ask, or won’t report, so that they can use the “confirm or deny” policy to bury the story.

Exactly the opposite of the way they did RussiaGate, the real scandal that they starred in, rather than reported.

How else to explain the Bidens' wealth? But the bought-and-paid-for media remain vastly incurious. Better to collude in silencing Trump from even mentioning these facts to the American public.

buwaya said...

They would not have done all this over a couple of decades if they did not have assurance of impunity.

And they felt safe openly (and it was extremely open) engaging in influence peddling why?

1. Because everyone with sufficient influence to peddle was doing the same, or worse, was on the payroll of people outside of government playing much bigger games along the same lines. It is SOP. If they all do it, you cannot fix this without removing everyone, as the lot of them will defend any one else attacked for the same sins.

2. Because the social and official structures created to make this risky were corrupt, because of course they ultimately answer to the same people as in 1.

Well this is something that the Russian hysteria of 2016 and the Ukrainian Call of 2019 did not have, actual living witnesses to a criminal act. Surely the same Congress that obsessed over "foreign influence" for almost 4 years running will have the same level of interest in this corruption story. Surely the DNC-Media will stop trying to keep a lid on the Biden story. Or alas this will be the end of the Republic and we normals may be resigned to taking arms to fight off the joyous hordes of antifacrats.

tim in vermont said...

This is from a Senate Report:

Former Secretary Kerry’s December 2019 denial of having any knowledge about Hunter Biden or Burisma is inconsistent with the evidence uncovered by the Committees. Kerry was briefed about Hunter Biden, Burisma and Christopher Heinz the day after Burisma announced Hunter Biden joined its board. Additionally, Secretary Kerry’s senior advisor sent him press clips and articles relating to Hunter Biden’s board membership. This appears to be yet another example of high-ranking Obama administration officials blatantly ignoring Hunter Biden’s association with Burisma.

Kerry and of course his Massachusetts mafia partner Romney, oh and of course the Pelosis were a well known Boston mob family in the forties, it’s a matter of record, and of course Pelosis are involved too. LIke Nancy’s son the “Clean Energy” executive in Ukraine. Nothing brings in the billions of unaccountable money from governments like our in the US like “Clean Energy” It’s almost a synonym for corruption.

- In early 2015 the former Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent, raised concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board. Kent’s concerns went unaddressed, and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to his colleagues, “Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.”

- In October 2015, senior State Department official Amos Hochstein raised concerns with Vice President Biden, as well as with Hunter Biden, that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine.

Except it wouldn’t have been “disinformation” it would have been "uncomfortable truth” which is, I guess, the new meaning of disinformation.

In hindsight I wish Bubulinski would have submitted whistleblower paperwork. That protected Vindman from examination. Leftist just cited in unison."whistle blower" like a protective magic amulet.

Here's the NY Post story. You can scroll down a bit to get Bobulinski's actually full statement. From what I can tell, this guy seems pretty serious. It will difficult in the extreme for the Dem-Media-Complex to dismiss and discredit this guy.

I don’t have a political ax to grind; I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew concerned with what I saw. The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist controlled China.

God bless America.

This would be the end of any campaign that was part of a legitimate political movement.

Gretchen said...

During the debate, Trump should point out that Biden was getting kickbacks from CEFC an OIL AND GAS company primarily, as well as Burisma, a natural gas company.
No wonder Biden is against US Oil and natural gas fracking. He wants to make big money overseas from Oil and Gas rather than have Americans extract it in a more environmentally friendly way. He isn't against fossil fuels, he is against American fossil fuels.

And Trump should call Joe "The 10% Big Guy".

Wince said...

Notice the predicament Twitter and Facebook have put themselves in.

Will they drop their NY Post bans before election day and give the scandal charges additional prominence and legitimacy?

Or do they hold out until after the election and obliterate their credibility and jeopardize their business model and Section 230 protections?

If the latter, can shareholder lawsuits be far behind?

Good for the NY Post for not knuckling under.

And yet the New York Post is still blocked on Twitter and Facebook is still "fact checking" a week later.

tim maguire said...

Soooo...not actually news in the sense that we've all suspected it for years. The question now is, how many people care?

But this raises some eyebrows, from a FOS News article linked by Instapundit:

A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden...The list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.

No way every one of those people knew and approved of being named on Hunter's contact list. This makes it seem like a joke, something Hunter thought would be really funny (and never thought anybody would find out about).

If that line is BS, how much of the other information is also BS?

Achilles said...

The fact that the corporate fist was deployed to stop this story and failed gives me hope for our country.

This would have worked in 1930’s Germany or Italy. It would have worked in present day China.

I don’t think it would work in Britain or Australia.

Draw obvious conclusions about societal underpinnings.

You have to admire the depth of the mutual understanding between Joe Biden and His son Hunter. They were able to arrange multiple million-dollar business deals without ever speaking about them.

Serious question for the Althouse commentariat:

Will the main stream media even care about this statement? Would ANY new revelation pointing to the accuracy of these claims get their attention? Or is this all “under the rug” stuff at least until the election results come out?

I'm sure the newspaper of record is all over this story.


Hahahahahah. Just kidding.

Matt said...

Allegedly, the Bidens running some sort of influence peddling racket and Hunter was the bag man. Trump is going to have to figure out a quick way to bring this up in the debate, before the moderator cuts him off. Biden's going to have to figure out a way to dispute this. It can be longer because the moderator is not going to interrupt him.

If I were to guess, I think Trump is going to say something about "selling us out to China" and Biden is going to get emotional about his troubled son and say that this is just a smear. This should be interesting.

tim in vermont said...

Jeezum Crow, so now Harris is dirty, imagine that, Heels Up Harris of the San Fransisco machine is corrupted too.

EXCLUSIVE: A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former Vice President Joe Biden's current running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned.

An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject line “Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15, 2017, Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic contacts for phase one target projects.”
. - Fox News

Not from the laptop, BTW. But on the laptop there is an email detailing how Jim Biden, who got that 1.5 billion dollar contract for building housing in Iraq, BTW, was to be paid 15K per month for “travel” by the ChiComs.

buwaya is right. This is beyond fixing.

The pictures of underage girls being abused adds a twist to the story as well.

At this point a reasonable person would conclude given Joe Biden’s public creepiness with kids he is a child molester as well as a rapist.

Opposing someone like Joe Biden should be viewed as a moral requirement to be a citizen.

Yancey Ward said...

You shouldn't have needed Bobulinski's or Bevan Cooney's confirmation of the laptop e-mails, but there it is- it is now undeniable. What we knew about Hunter Biden's employment with Burisma and the forced firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor by Joe Biden himself was prima facie evidence of Joe Biden's corruption.

Here, again, is a thorough examination of the Biden's involvement in the Ukraine. It is four parts, each subsequent part is at the top right of the above link. The video is fully supported with documentary evidence to a truly astonishing level- a lot of work went into preparing this a year ago- the sort of journalism that is apparently not practiced any longer by shitrags like the NYTimes or WaPo. If you want to be embarrassed for WaPo, Althouse, be embarrassed for the right reasons- that they are incapable of doing work like this.

doctrev said...

Between Bobulinkski and Bevan Cooney, not to mention the mountain of evidence on the Hunter laptop, you have the makings of serious conspiracy charges against Hunter Biden and his father, presidential candidate Joe Biden. The conspiracy will be about serious corruption, not just process crimes. If Mueller had this kind of information, there is no question that the President would have been convicted during impeachment, unless he resigned first. He didn't, of course, because Donald Trump is easily the cleanest President since Jimmy Carter.

I'm surprised a law prof didn't say that first, but at least someone did. I have to say, there's no way these men would come out this far without assurances from the DOJ. Or higher. Looks like AG Barr has come through for the President, working with Rudy Giuliani of course.

TheThinManReturns said...

How can this be? Joe's just a regular guy, likes ice cream and is from Scranton.

tim in vermont said...

There are lots of these people, people the Bidens strongarmed and treated like shit, here’s another story that sounds like out of Wise Guys.

The day the Bidens took over Paradigm Global Advisors was a memorable one.

In the late summer of 2006 Joe Biden’s son Hunter and Joe’s younger brother, James, purchased the firm. On their first day on the job, they showed up with Joe’s other son, Beau, and two large men and ordered the hedge fund’s chief of compliance to fire its president, according to a Paradigm executive who was present.

After the firing, the two large men escorted the fund’s president out of the firm’s midtown Manhattan office, and James Biden laid out his vision for the fund’s future. “Don’t worry about investors,” he said, according to the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation. “We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”
https://www.politico.eu/article/joe-biden-presidential-bid-family-business-history-democrats/

You normal Democrats out there, are you feeling like you have caught battered wives’ syndrome maybe? This was all in plain sight and the people who cleared the path for Biden and Harris knew all about it. The Clinton Machine.

Beau was on the take too. Hunter paid of his college loans, that’s just from the New Yorker trying to make Hunter look sympathetic, who knows what else Hunter paid for for Beau to try to keep his hands clean so that he could run for President.

Beau was Michael, but he died and they ended up with Fredo running the family business.

So Trump gets impeached for asking the Ukrainian president to investigate malfeasance by Biden during a competitive presidential primary.

Funny how you're not seeing any of that "walls closing in" stuff that was so ubiquitous on CNN, et al., a few years ago, now that the story is about the grifters all around Biden, including his son, who are now spilling the proverbial beans.

What could possibly account for the different treatment? Must be like one of those decapitation stories in France or elsewhere with a perp yelling Alahu Akabar!, where the motives are just too murky for an inquisitive, fairminded journalist to figure out.

Just watched the Stahl interview with Trump.

My wager is the slimy insinuation about Whitmer prompted him to end the badgering session.

buwaya said...

Q just posted an analysis of the Chinese state-Bidens relationship by an outfit I have never heard of, but it seems to be based mostly on narciso type open-source, but with some secret-squirrel ones also.

https://www.baldingsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KVBJHB.pdf

Q does things like that only sometimes, but extensively on the Trump-Russia-Flynn business. If someone were to write a history of that, they would do well to carefully examine the Q posts on it, as a guide to framing the whole thing in terms of who directed what and when, and what it took to dismantle it. Q has been prophetic on it all.

Summary -
1. Joe Biden’s compromising partnership with the Communist Party of China runs
via Yang Jiechi (CPC’s Central Foreign Affairs Commission). YANG met frequently
with BIDEN during his tenure at the Chinese embassy in Washington.
2. Hunter Biden’s 2013 Bohai Harvest Rosemont investment partnership was set-up
by Ministry of Foreign Affairs institutions designed to garner influence with foreign
leaders during YANG’s tenure as Foreign Minister.
3. HUNTER has a direct line to the Politburo, according to SOURCE A, a senior
finance professional in China.
4. Michael Lin brokered the BHR partnership and partners with MOFA foreign
influence organizations.
5. LIN is a POI for his work on behalf of China, as confirmed by SOURCE B and
SOURCE C (at two separate national intelligence agencies).
6. BHR is a state managed operation. Leading shareholder in BHR is a Bank of China
and BHR’s partners are SOEs that funnel revenue/assets to BHR.
7. HUNTER continues to hold 10% in BHR. He visited China in 2010 and met with
major Chinese government financial companies that would later back BHR.
8. HUNTER’s BHR stake (purchased for $400,000) is now likely be worth approx.
$50 million (fees and capital appreciation based on BHR’s $6.5 billion AUM).
9. HUNTER also did business with Chinese tycoons linked with the Chinese military
and against the interests of US national security.
10. BIDEN’s foreign policy stance towards China (formerly hawkish), has since turned
positive despite China’s country’s rising geopolitical assertiveness.

Curious George said...

"That's what happens when you put your crackhead son in charge of your illicit family business"

Nope, worse Joe Biden was in charge. He's also a dummy. Think of him as Hunter without the crack habit.

And they felt safe openly (and it was extremely open) engaging in influence peddling why?

Incestuous relationships (e.g. biological, political, economic) elevate risk of progressive corruption and dysfunction.

That said, religious/moral philosophy (principles matter) to temper honest people. Competing interests to mitigate progress of others running amuck.

Unfortunately, jaw-dropping as all of these revelations are, most Biden supporters could care less (a process made all the easier by the media's Pravda-esque blackout). Every time I try to make my otherwise highly intelligent wife understand what's at stake, all I get in return are riffs about Trump's ickyness and Biden's 'moderation.'

Conservatives get it, but we weren't voting for Biden anyhow. Will it move the needle? I hope so, but I'm not so sure.

I suppose we can at least take some heart in the fact that the corruption on display for the past 4 years--in the deep state, the media, and Democratic politicians has been so inept. It would be hilarious if the fate of the Republic weren't at stake.

What's even worse, to add insult to injury, is that they are "borrowing" this money (thus putting us and future generations on the hook for it), which they then GIVE to other countries (most of whom are NOT our allies) usually as some type of foreign aid, grant, loan or "investment" (which almost never gets repaid) so that a percentage of this money can be funneled back to themselves in the form of campaign donations, speaking fees, honorary board memberships, luxurious vacations and junkets for the entire / extended family, sexual favors and "start-up" capital for fictitious shell companies that never actually do anything or go anywhere...

Its full-on organized crime throughout every level of our government, and not only are they selling us out for 30 pieces of silver, but the silver isn't even coming from our enemies coffers!!! Instead, it's stolen from our own pockets (with interest), then given to our enemies, who like parasites, grow fat sucking off our life blood, before they dribble a few filth covered bits of lucre back into the grasping claws of these traitorous scum...

There needs to be a cleansing of our Government from top to bottom NOW.

Mayor Pete? The guy whose only real "accomplishment" is that he's gay?
Fauxcahontas Warren? The woman who had Wall Street "donors" promising their wallets would be closed if she was on the ticket?

Clyburn picked Joe because there were no other choices

A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden...The list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.

No way every one of those people knew and approved of being named on Hunter's contact list. This makes it seem like a joke, something Hunter thought would be really funny (and never thought anybody would find out about).


What in the world makes you think that they would have refused to be on Joe Biden's "contact list", which is what this was?

I guess we now know why Amy Klobuchar was willing to drop out of the Dem Primary before "Super Tuesday"

DanTheMan said...

I wish all of you would stop with the jealousy.

Joe Biden took a public servant's salary, and became a multimillionaire.
Both of his brothers are millionaires, too.
His sister and his son are also both fabulously wealthy.

Cleary, the Biden family are the most brilliant, super-genius economic minds this country has ever produced.

And if Biden wins, they will all get a LOT richer. What more proof could you want?

"But I digress. Trump needed to drain the entire swamp years ago."

Bruh

The Swamp is Deep and Nasty....this is no casual marsh.

Trump is trying to do it intelligently, after he wins I wager he will distribute Federal resources amongst the states.

Swamp draining takes time.

Why did the Dem establishment want such a mediocre and corrupt candidate?

Answering my own question: well, all the Dems who ran are mediocre. And they knew the media and their base doesn't care about Dem corruption.

It was all about PA. They need that white working class vote. Lunch pail Joe from Scranton was the only Dem candidate who could conceivably win back a big chunk of that demographic. Except it's increasingly obvious he's not lunch pail Joe or Tom Joad, he's more like Don Corleone.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Perhaps now Savannah Guthrie's inexplicable obsession with pedophilia in last week's town hall event can be explained by Hunter and Joe Biden's interaction with underage Chinese girls. The laptop contents were available to NBC news last week and I'm suspicious that Savannah was attempting to preempt the material relating to Hunter's pedophilia, and Joe's complicity in it. After all there is a text from VP Biden in which he asks Hunter about a 14-year-old he is "in a relationship with" and Joe refers to the girl by name in the texts. I was so intrigued by the extreme emphasis Savannah put on that group that "says there are pedophiles in government" since knowledge of qanon seems to be limited to Twitter users and NBC anchors. What was her point? It's pretty obvious she is setting up Biden to say the same thing, as he has been, about "this all" being a "conspiracy theory" and it might work for him for one more night...

But the cat's outta the bag now, man!

Jersey Fled said...

Night Owl said...

Conspiracy theory: all of this will be reported by the MSM after the election & used to justify invoking the 25th amendment to make Harris President.

I had a similar thought:The dem power brokers are holding this information to use against Biden once he wins so that they can push him out and install Harris.

Biden is both a tool and a fool. Unless he has cut a deal to avoid jail time for his cooperation.

The big question is, will they be able to cheat enough to get Biden to win; because cheating is their only hope.

Yancey Ward said...

I remember the Politico article Tim linked to above- I have distinct memory of linking to it sometime during the initial phase of the impeachment hearings last Fall, but it might have been on another site.

Ask yourself this question: why did Politico feel comfortable going after Biden that way- actually looking into his corruption, but not now? The answer is right there in the article's publication date, August 3rd, 2019. What was true on August 3rd, 2019- two things: (1) The call between Zelensky and Trump hadn't yet been made public, so there was no Ukraine impeachment scandal, and, (2) most Democrats didn't want Joe Biden as the nominee.

DC is the corruption capitol. No one in the CIA DOJ FBI is going to stand up and point a finger and say X is corrupt because 10 fingers will be pointing back at them. No one in Congress is going to bring anyone in the alphabet agencies down because the alphabet agencies know every corrupt congress criterion. They all protect themselves by protecting each other.

It isn't just Biden or Pelosi. And it isn't just Democrats. We need to get to the bottom of the methods and means by which public servants have entered representative government in this country as staunchly middle-class (or less) and end up leaving as multi-millionaires. This has been happening for 40 fucking years.

Peter Sweizer has a veritable library of books with references on all the grifters. To wit:
Throw them all out 2011
Extortion 2013
Clinton Cash 2015
Secret Empires 2018
Profiles in corruption 2020

Yes, he had chronicled 95% of the Hunter\ Joe Biden’s corrupt activities in Ukraine and China over 2 years ago.

However, Democrats don’t care. “Criminals ‘R Us,” is the party slogan. Check the net worth of the Clintons, the Obamas and the Bidens, for example. Oh, I know, books, speeches. Bwahahahaha!

Psst. Step over here. Let me tell you about the bridge in Brooklyn I have for sale.

Drago said...

r/v is very very very concerned that Biden might lose his ability to sell his office and US policy for tens and hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the same way that r/v was very upset that Hillary was unable to win the Presidency and keep up the grift and adding to the billions that were sent to the Clinton foundation slush fund.

Quite telling really.

But then again, crack is expensive and it would be a terrible thing if Hunter was deprived of his access to the ready cash he needs.

Marty.. that is not a theory.. that is a 'to do' for the DNC after the Jan inauguration.

But I tell you.. I don't think B&H will win. He is beginning to stink more than Hillary did. His stink, anti-gun, anti-police, and leftist tax pronouncements are beginning to tell. He even has Obama trying to gin things up....

Greg The Class Traitor said...

An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject line "Phase one domestic contacts/ projects" and dated May 15, 2017, Biden's brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of "key domestic contacts for phase one target projects."

The email is unrelated to the laptop or hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, the former vice president's son.

The list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.


So that was Biden's brother Jim, not his son Hunter

This is what we call "direct evidence" of a criminal conspiracy.
Tax evasion.

And if you believe it stops, starts, or ends with Joe Biden...

There's a few simple important rules in life. Here's one for 50-year old, white privileged crack addicts:

If you have important international deals to make with Burisma Energy or Chinese Banks or Moscow millionaire widows - to feed your Pop one half of the take;

1. Do not leave your laptop in a Delaware repair shop for over 6 months.
2. Do not impregnate Arkansas strippers.
3. If you have any doubts, see 1 & 2.

Yancey Ward,

Yes, both those things are true. But, also, it was European Politico, not US Politico. The American version doesn't ordinarily get so deep into the weeds on anything.

(And I would bet anything you like that most Democrats still don't want Biden as the nominee. I think the DNC forced a card on them.)
