Today’s Hunter Biden news
Biden was identified as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” an apparent reference to the former Shanghai-based conglomerate CEFC China Energy Co.
His pay was pegged at “850” and the email also noted that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.”
In addition, the email outlined a “provisional agreement” under which 80 percent of the “equity,” or shares in the new company, would be split equally among four people whose initials correspond to the sender and three recipients, with “H” apparently referring to [Hunter] Biden…
The deal also listed “10 Jim” and “10 held by H for the big guy?”
Neither Jim nor the “big guy” was identified further.
In a different deal with a Chinese company:
According to a report on Biden’s overseas business dealings released last month by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a company called Hudson West III opened a line of credit in September 2017.
Credit cards issued against the account were used by Hunter, his uncle James Biden and James’ wife, Sara Biden, to purchase more than $100,000 “worth of extravagant items, including airline tickets and multiple items at Apple Inc. stores, pharmacies, hotels and restaurants,” the report said.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much more it would take me hours to cover it, but why reinvent the wheel? Here’s a post by Ace that lists quite a bit, with links. And here’s what Giuliani has to say – watch and judge for yourself:
I’m a bit surprised that YouTube is still allowing that video. We’ll see if it continues to be available.
And here’s another related post by Ace. Apparently the Biden camp is now taking this sketchy position (from Politico, link not given):
Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi [from Burisma, whose email to Hunter thanked him for giving Pozharskyi the opportunity to meet Joe], which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory. Pozharskyi did not respond to a request for comment.
I have more to say on all of this, but for now I’m going to tend to some things in my regular (non-blogging) life. Maybe tomorrow.
Of course, there probably will be more October surprises tomorrow. I’ve already lost count. For example, remember when Trump got his COVID diagnosis? Seems like years ago.
[ADDENDUM: See also this. Also, see this about how Steve Scully’s “I was hacked” defense falls apart.]
“…not rule out…”
Love it!
Here’s a bit more to chew on:

If only Giuliani were AG (Barr, for all his intelligent statements and his reassuringly sensible interviews, appears to be “all bark and no bite”), this would be receiving the official attention which it richly merits. Our beleaguered republic must not allow a senile old fool (controlled by an ambitious and ruthless Lady Macbeth), who is completely compromised by a shockingly immoral and corrupt son, to gain victory in less than three weeks.
Rudy says there is more. Check his website and youtube channel.
This is astounding. Joe Biden got $15m from the Chinese!
Nothing to see here. Nothing to worry about. Biden’s clean:

Sandy, none of this will matter, just like the ongoing investigation into Russiagate. There are two tiers of justice in this country, and two ways of how the media deals with issues when it pertains to the political parties.
I can’t remember where I read it, but there was comment by someone from the Ukraine who said Biden was known as the Viceroy because he sat in on cabinet meetings and told the government what to do. Interesting if true.

Josh,
I don’t think that’s true in all judicial jurisdictions but if this scandal doesn’t result in prosecutions there will be no doubt that the rule of law is completely gone.
In which case, it will be time for “politics by other means”. For our choice will be a binary one; acceptance of 1984 or fight in another 1776…

I have a lefty journalist acquaintance who simply dismissed the entire Biden Family Corruption Scandal as “lies printed by a disreputable news paper that have already been totally debunked by at least ten different reputable media sources.”
I have no idea how you get through to people like that.
He still believes the Russia Collusion story.

This is the story from Powell’s tweet:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/10/14/also-not-on-joe-bidens-official-schedule-oval-office-meeting-on-michael-flynn-investigation/
There have been other instances identified of “missing” meetings.
Via ACE: “Biden did this at least 2 other times – he met Hunter’s Chinese business partner and arranged an Oval Office meeting for his son-in-law”
The official schedule is apparently a lot like my calendar: you put things on that you know are supposed to happen, and you don’t always go back and write down the things that DID happen, even if you don’t mind other people knowing. Biden obviously was not concerned about the 2 known meetings being, um, known.
Keep following Ace’s posts today, and you see most of the news.

The FBI Seized the Hunter Biden Computer in December 2019 – Ignored the Crimes, Did Nothing and Gave the Biden Family a Complete Pass
By Joe Hoft Published October 14, 2020
“The FBI is one of the major reasons that Americans feel there is a two-tiered system of justice. The Democrat Party and its leadership are immune to investigations for their many corrupt deeds but Republicans are indicted for made up lies they didn’t make to the FBI.
How many stories landed with the FBI that were ignored because the participants were on the team protected by the FBI? How many criminals walk free because the FBI buries their crimes and refuses to investigate? Maybe it is time to shut down the FBI and start over.”
Trump is President, Barr is head of DOJ – both are nominally the bosses of the FBI; yet, after the shredding of their reputation over Russiagate, the Feebs still do something like this, sitting on the evidence all through the impeachment farrago.
Some one suggested that Trump knew about the emails early on and was holding the information for October; I doubt that very much. Giuliani apparently put the news out as soon as he got a copy (thoroughly legal, not hacked or anonymous).
Is life imitating art, or is satire becoming too predictable?

Has no one in that company ever heard of the Streisand Effect?
(Well, it was in 2003, when they were all in kindergarten…)
I think the Twitter / Facebook censuring is the big story. Because the corruption of Biden was “known”, tho perhaps unseen by those who don’t want to believe it.
Twitter and Facebook are “all in” on pushing Biden.
Lots of DoJ & FBI are in total CYA (cover your butt) mode, and hoping Trump loses to take the pressure of the truth off.
I disagree with Tom Grey. Twitter and FB censoring is a big story, but is it a ploy to take the bullet to move attention away from the Biden corruption? Guiliani seems to hint that there’s so much more, including the method used to distribute ill gotten gains among the family.
To be fair, the provenance of the laptop must be proved, but once that’s done let the dogs out. The timing is a bit off: there may not be enough time before the election happens for all this to come to fruition.
Apparently Twitter has blinked. It will allow links, but with “labels.”
Probably no perp-walk in the future. But there’s always hope. https://manningthewall.com/hunter-biden-and-big-tech-censorship/
The Biden corruption tale has long legs.
REAKING — Lawyer Rudy Giuliani Authenticates the Biden Emails, Reveals Telling Details
On Friday morning in New York City, on the FoxNews programme “Fox and Friends”, the lawyer for the computer repair shop in Delaware that came into possession of the alleged Hunter Biden Email cache explained that he personally withheld some 10 authenticating texts that independently verify that these are indeed what they appear to be: an enormous cache of emails, photos, and video from Joe Biden’s son, Hunter’s computer.
In a short 5 minute interview, the former Federal Prosecutor of organized crime — including the notorious crime families called the Mafia — puts to rest the providence and the custody chain of this block buster criminal evidence.
Some six months after sharing the original contents of the laptop computer with FBI, Giuliani’s lawyer was contacted by the Mac repairman. After two weeks, his own lawyer took possession. Then Giuliani himself did the same.
Apparently, the computer repairman took offence at how badly Giuliani was treated last year (during the President’s impeachment?), and thus came onto his radar as a possible resource to reach out for help.
Now, that answers the chain of custody issue. Next, Giuliani explains the crucial independent authentication issue and how it ties this cache of documents to Hunter, specifically and personally.
The first are the intimate private photo and video evidence. But more traditionally, Giuliani states that he has personally withheld and kept possession of some ten Email texts concerning a back door appointment that Hunter had with the US State Department for (or with?) the Chinese government.
These appointments are logged and recorded independently.
It’s one hour after the Giuliani interview and FoxNews F&Fs tout his further claim of Hunter Biden ties to Chinese Intelligence setting up an office together.
Furthermore, Giuliani states that this creates dangerous national security holes for our adversary to exploit. FoxNews tells us that the Biden camp says that this meeting to arrange office space with Chinese authorities never took place.
Giuliani went on with four to six more charges based on the document cache: continual crack cocaine use over 5 years, making Hunter a blackmail national security risk, is only the other most relevant theme at the moment. There’s so much more to come.
This interview will soon appear online and I will link to it when it does. Another vital source of analysis will come very soon from pundit Dan Bongino. Bongino was a New York City cop and retired from the US Secret Service during the Bush and Obama years.
Therefore, Bongino is eminently capable of breaking down the significance of Giuliani’s revelations with the expert authority of his personal career experience on his nearly daily hourlong podcasts; listen online for free.
Stay tuned. More to come
From far off Western Australia, JoNova presents a concise overview of the Biden laptop story. I haven’t come across anything better to share with a noob to the scandal. Perhaps you’ve got something better? If so, please post.

BidenGate breaks: Facebook, Twitter censor the Whitehouse as “unsafe”, but FBI AWOL

This is fun! Just The News has the longest and best piece on Amanda Milius new documentary film — “The Plot Against The President” — and the path that led her to direct it.
How and why in one word? Trump!
https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/plot
“The Plot Against The President” premiered on FoxNews on Friday night October 10th. You can find it on YouTube now for free.
Excertp:
Milius understands the power, and clarity, of cinema versus a book or series of op-eds. It’s why she sharpened her skill set to make “Plot.”
“Ask an average person what happened in ‘RussiaGate,’ and they’d get lost in tangents,” she says. “We digest information on a night-to-night news basis. Every story, and every important through line, has been chopped up … the attention span of the country is so schizophrenic.”
That’s where a documentary comes in, she argues.
“So much has happened in the last four years,” she says. “Nobody can keep track of all of this. ‘Plot’ offers real, first-hand sources, not just people who are offering their opinions on what happened.”
Smith supports the film version of his book so that a different audience is exposed to its lessons.
“This story is being shaped so that it’s not getting out in the way it should be getting out,” Smith says, an issue he partly blames on mainstream media outlets.
“None of this would have happened without the media,” Smith says. “That’s why you have The Washington Post getting all these leaks of classified intercepts, all illegal.”
TJ:
Do you have a link for the article on the 10 authenticating texts?
Neo – here’s a story that fits with TJ’s, although I don’t think it’s the same one.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-emails-hunter-joe-rudy-giuliani-photos-texts-emails
I briefly considered the possibility that the story was a hoax, but that was way too complicated. Someone would have had to fake the emails and pictures, fake the water damage (just enough to justify repairs, not enough to ruin the data), deliberately fail to answer the repairman’s calls to retrieve the computer, assume that the repairman would pass the material on to the FBI, which would virtuously bring it out during the impeachment circus and (ta-dah!!) shift the focus definitively to the Biden corruption and off of Trump’s phone call.
One major problem is that the computer was left at the shop long before the impeachment process started (or, rather, before Pelosi and Gang found the cause in the Ukraine phone call that they could shoe-horn into a pre-existing impeachment plan).
Even cutting out the first part by having the repairman do the fakery himself after the IC whistleblower did his thing, since the FBI smothered his “bombshell” and ruined his plan, why bring it up now, much later, when doing so would only subject him to intense investigation that might reveal his forgery?
(PS the FBI probably did do that investigation last year; they just didn’t tell the AG or President. Which argues that they found it was NOT a forgery.)
Of course, Rudy might have been the instigator all along, planting the information that only he knows so he could, circularly, claim it validates the planted data.
That gets us into serious Russiagate analogies, where the IC conspirators leaked parts of Steele’s dossier to the media, then used media reports to justify their FISA warrants.
I think I will go with “authentic data and honest businessman.”
Looking for that story, I found this older post — looks even more relevant now.
(posted before the computer was taken by the FBI in December)
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-23/giuliani-says-biden-documents-to-be-released-if-i-disappear
The pillows have been in place for a lot longer than that, of course.
You can hear it from Giuliani directly via a link at Treehouse.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/15/rudy-giuliani-explains-the-biden-family-payoff-scheme/
“Perhaps most disturbingly, former New York Mayor Giuliani outlines the government offices/agencies who have been handed this evidence -yet refused to take action. Including: DOJ (various offices including main justice); FBI local field offices and Washington DC; and the U.S. State Department.”
TJ’s first post is a comment from “Orson,” at his JoNova link, .
I should have looked there first!
It was way down.
Jo says this: “The emails were found on a computer dropped off for repair 18 months ago. The service was never paid for or the laptop retrieved.”
That makes it last April; I couldn’t remember reading that earlier somewhere, but probably did.
She continues:
Just coincidentally, another commenter at JoNova led me to a story about the QAnon tweet that figured in the second debate (Trump vs moderator), which I hadn’t actually seen anything about and had no idea what the problem was.
