October non-surprise: Hunter Biden emails surface indicating Joe lied
[NOTE: I wrote this earlier today and somehow forgot to hit “publish.” I was about to post a sequel, and then I realized that this was still in draft form. So here it is as a first installment.]
We’ve known for quite some time that Hunter Biden is a trainwreck who got rich off his father’s position, and we’ve known that – surprise, surprise! – the MSM is uninterested in this juicy story. Today, however, a bunch of emails have surfaced that give more details, including one in particular that suggests that Joe Biden had met, at his son’s behest, with a Ukrainian who was a top guy in an energy firm in that country, and therefore that Joe was lying when he claimed to know nothing whatsoever of Hunter’s business dealings.
The story has appeared in the right-leaning NY Post. More information can be found here, including this Joe Biden quote from September of 2019:
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said, before pivoting to President Trump. “I know Trump deserves to be investigated. He is violating every basic norm of a president. You should be asking him why is he on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader. You should be looking at Trump.”
That, of course, is around the time when the Democrats were trying to drum up enough outrage to justify their impeachment of Trump over an ordinary presidential act, and to deflect from the Biden controversy. With the help of the MSM, of course.
The Hunter emails also contain evidence of a conference call indicating:
…White House involvement with the call with the p.r. company for Burisma about Joe Biden’s upcoming trip. Pretty hard to say that Biden didn’t know anything and/or it had nothing to do with his position in the administration.
More here on the rather convoluted story of how the emails got revealed.
Not unexpectedly, Facebook is “reducing” links to the story (see this). But Facebook and Google have been putting their thumbs on the leftist/Democratic side of the scale for a long, long time.
And Team Trump is criticizing Facebook:

I assume we haven’t heard the last of this.
Looks like Biden’s got the role of the Mad Hatter down pat.
And Pelosi’s Red Queen is nothing less than magnificent. A real tour de force.
Seems it’s not only Orwell who was prophetic…
“I assume we haven’t heard the last of this.”
No, it’s not even the beginning of the beginning….
Wonder if Obama and Co. will decide that it’s time to burn down D.C…..
Every story in the MSM about the supposed meddling of Russia in this election (not to mention the stories about “extremist” content, almost invariably defined as deriving from the right, and about QAnon or bots and trolls or other inevitable nuisances of an online world which is truly free) is nothing other than a distraction from the efforts of Big Tech to reduce the chances of a Trumpian victory through blatant manipulation of algorithms, de-platforming, censorship, and suppression of information which questions the prevailing and dominant narrative.
“The entire media establishment is acting as Team Biden rapid response – at a new level not seen before in any election in American history.”

As I saw noted elsewhere in relation to this, Facebook and Twitter had no problem with people spreading incredibly thinly sourced stories like the one about Trump hiring Russian hookers to pee in a bed that Obama had slept in. But when the NY Post got a stash of what appear (to the Post; I’d be surprised if they didn’t have some tech experts look at the technical details of them) to be legitimate Biden e-mails that report a completely unsurprising event, suddenly everything’s sendationalistic and rumor-mongering.
Yeah, there does seem to be a bit of a double standard around here (scratches his head)….

On the other hand….
Big tech will make it go away as this is big tech’s candidates. They need Harris in there.
“That’s just Joe”. Which, having been said, makes it all go away.
And the noose tightens… if not tightly yet still snugly.
Barry Meislin,
I’m not sure they’re that duplicitous but I certainly wouldn’t bet against it being possible.
Since the FBI had its hand in examining this laptop, I bet that the DNC has known for some time that the Trump campaign has had its hands on this information, and would be timing its release for maximum effect. Now it makes sense why Trump has been saying for the past few weeks at all of his rallies: “Where’s Hunter??” Trolling the DNC and Biden’s handlers…..
Biden should say he doesn’t remember any Burisma meeting. Everyone would believe him.
Email from Hunter complaining about having to kick up 1/2 his nepotism gains to dear old doddering dad. Gold! I’m back to wondering whether the mental decline is (at least in part) an act in order to maintain plausible deniability.
AMartel — that’s simply too artful, too smart to believe. Biden last year was exposed in his CFR speech boasting about getting a Ukraine prosecutor fired. Now we know why with documentation. So, why be artful when he been brazen — aided by the corrupt Marxist Praetorian guard forever? Art has never been needed to do the crime. And groupthink leads to stupid level corruption. Now, QED,
