one of Hunter Biden’s emails referred to “Pop” getting half of the salaries.  I wonder who he was talking about....

Corn Pop, the local gang member whom Pop Biden defeated in valiant battle in past years.

    Nobody takes anything Giuliani says at face value. If they do they are certainly gullible. Even his daughter called him out as a yes man and a liar. 

If it was only Giuliani saying it, then I would agree with you, but the Biden campaign is not denying anything, the FBI took a copy of the hard drive, then decided to come back and subpoena the computer from the now legal owner, and then Hunter Biden’s lawyers also attempted to get the data back.  To top it off, an associate of Hunter Biden is now deciding to lend their own credibility to this entire mess.  It was not a hacking situation regardless of what Twitter and FB say.  The simple fact is Joe Biden is a 47 year corrupt career politician that may have been personally benefitting from his position with his family selling access to him.  You can turn a blind eye to it, but we already know this is very common in DC.  The way I look at it is VP Biden had two major foreign policy leads, China and Ukraine, and for some reason his less than stellar son gets some pretty lucrative opportunities in two countries, China and Ukraine.  Joe used his influence to stop an investigation into one of these opportunities which of course is dismissed as he was getting rid of a corrupt investigator, maybe this was true, but it doesn’t negate the fact that his son, and his son’s business interest benefitted greatly from that action/extortion, and to top it off, the DC Democrat elite decided this was worth impeaching President Trump over.  The thing that galls me is if the FBI had this information for over a year, why was it not brought to light by them when we were going through the entire impeachment episode.

 

In the end, a legal investigation is unlikely due to Old Joe’s long service, so it is up to the voters to decide.

Nicely put, very succinct.  

 

To add one little tidbit to your summary, due to his drug history, Hunter normally wouldn't have been a candidate for any top-paying job.

I have not seen this timeline with the FBI anywhere, and who is the legal owner?

Why don't we wait for the FBI to weigh in?  We have seen no forensic data.

In short there is a group of people who think as you do for various reasons and they are ripe picking for disinformation campaign.

Seems Joe's going rate, or perhaps Big Man is what we should call him, is 10%.

 

Will that increase assuming he wins next month?  Anybody know?

   The awful logical fallacy is not accepting this whole story stinks so bad that even platforms like Twitter and Facebook want no part of it. One more attempt to rationalize nonsense.  Rudy and the gang screwed this up so badly that people are actually starting to feel sorry for the KGB agent who put all the work into it.

But yet zero problems reporting on Trumps illegalize obtained Tax return with just a small part of the whole picture. Or reporting as fact, lead story, that Trump called war dead losers.

Or reporting Trump gave prostitutes' golden showers, that was a fake document

The truth behind the Hunter Biden non-scandal

Opinion by David Ignatius

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-truth-behind-the-hunter-biden-non-scandal/2020/10/16/798210bc-0fd1-11eb-8074-0e943a91bf08_story.html

 

 

 

The story of Hunter Biden’s involvement with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma isn’t a scandal about his father, as the Trump campaign claims, but part of a personal tragedy for the vice president’s son, compounded by this week’s dissemination of what looks like disinformation about Joe Biden’s role.

 

What’s clear, beyond the false scandal-mongering, has been evident for years: Hunter Biden made a mistake getting involved with a dubious company like Burisma. But the notion that the Burisma affair undermines Joe Biden’s case to be president is, as he would say, malarkey.

The Biden campaign has been understandably reluctant to respond, for fear of giving the story legitimacy. Still, Biden has said his son made a mistake. Family friends say the vice president is reluctant to publicly criticize Hunter Biden further, but they stress that both Bidens have learned the painful lesson that a president’s children should stay away from international business. Would that the Trump family recognized that rule.

Good try WaPo, not stopping more coming out.

Now credentials is one thing, and drug abuse is another. You could have both and be well-qualified for a position. Or neither and be unqualified. I'm not saying that Hunter Biden was qualified, but his drug abuse isn't the thing that necessarily makes him unqualified. However I am well aware that there are plenty of people on boards who owe their lucrative positions there to connections or the supposed cachet they will bring. Hunter Biden is hardly alone.

As far as the "peepeee" tape, the steele dossier was not released by the author and Steele said the accuracy of the product was 70 to 80% accurate at best. He of all people understand that intelligence on Russia is dicey and you never know who is playing who in Moscow.

BuzzFeed chose to publish the entire copy they got their hands on with no representation as to the facts. The other major news outlets had a copy, but chose not to publish it and BuzzFeed received a lot of criticism for violating journalistic standards.  

 

One thing for sure, Trump maintaining he has no business dealings with/in Russia has been proven false by separate evidence. We may never know the whole story. 

 

I don't have a problem with Trump's privacy being violated with the tax returns, why was he not able to release them just like every candidate?  He has chosen to mingle politics and business, that cones with the territory.

 

The Hunter Biden story is legit to cover, but there is no proof about where the laptop came from, who owns it, what the chain of custody of the copied hard drive or any forensics on the files. 

 

That part of the story is missing from the NY Post. The computer store owners story is all over the place and there is so much that smells like Moscow.
