Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
"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."

Re: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
That is a weird story! Did the computer guy break any laws in doing that?
At this point I don't think it will affect the election. It might linger afterwards if Biden wins, though.

Just heard Sean Spicer on C-Span for 45 minutes discussing his book and other things. He was quite good.
Pointed out that with the releasing of Trump's return information was okay, with no questioning the propriety of the sources while in this case this is not being discussing based upon the premise of questioning the propriety of the sources.

Re: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
I have the feeling that the big tech and media's attempts to suppress this story are going to backfire big time. Twitter and Facebook can block links to the NY post story but are they going to block links to stories about them blocking the links to the story? Won't this just make the average person more curious?

Re: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
As an experiment.....Iwas able to post it to Facebook. But Twitter would not let me do so saying that it was "potentially harmful".pp4me wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 8:29 am I have the feeling that the big tech and media's attempts to suppress this story are going to backfire big time.

They're going to try to block everything but, as you suggest, all that will do is make people who don't have stage 4 TDS wonder what is being covered up.pp4me wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 8:29 am I have the feeling that the big tech and media's attempts to suppress this story are going to backfire big time.

Was going to vote Libertarian but reading some things here has made me question that. Definitely NOT Green Party. Maybe, then, a write-in for one of the four Democratic candidates I would have voted for. My conscience will do fine if I do that.

Re: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
I've since read that this is from Russia and been debunked? I've asked for the source of that information.

Re: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
That's what the lamestream media always says when anything comes out that is unfavorable to their side (Democrat).
In fact, the emails come from a laptop left by Hunter Biden at a repair shop and never picked up.

I just checked. No one has yet provided me the source for it being debunked.
I did, however, get this response from someone else: "There's a ton of misinformation on this... It hasn't been debunked, but it also hasn't been verified. Since the information is coming out of Russia, Twitter and Facebook are marking it as potentially harmful until it can be verified either way"

Re: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
Also, while something I recently put here said that the NY Post is slightly more conservative than the average American, I do not consider it to be a media that is reckless in what it reports. Plus, my observation is that it is solidly anti-Trump. Therefore, you could not make the bias argument with them. Guess my main conclusion is that they are going with whatever they think is creditable and which will help get them attention and, thereby, additional revenues.

Vinny - Do you find it funny the MSM is not covering this 24x7 and using the phrases "If true" and "Potential Bombshell" to report on the info before it has been fully confirmed - I would think if this was a one of Trumps Son's reported laptops it would a 24x7 news -vnatale wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 9:50 amIt actually came from two people on Facebook who had responded to me putting the article on Facebook.Libertarian666 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 9:47 amThat's what the lamestream media always says when anything comes out that is unfavorable to their side (Democrat).

Now that everything's being done virtual because of Covid the CEOs won't even have to travel to D.C. to testify in person before congress again so I guess they figure they can get away with anything.

No. I could NEVER vote for either.

I post tons of anti-Trump things on Facebook. When I post a few anti-Biden things I get pilloried by those who accuse me of being for Trump. I tell them it's their fault for supporting a Democratic party that allowed Biden to be its nominee. Therefore, it would be all their fault that Trump won and I accept zero responsibility. They were all complicit in providing me with an almost equally unacceptable candidate.

I have received a source from my Facebook post requesting one.

Giuliani and the New York Post Are Pushing Russian Disinformation. It’s a Big Test for the Media.
With its new Biden story, Murdoch’s tabloid is a useful idiot for Vladimir Putin.

Re: Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad
Due to a pinched nerve in my neck I've spent the last few days binge-watching "Animal Kingdom". If you aren't familiar with it, it's an excellent series on TNT about a mother who calls herself "Smurf" and her four sons who make up a crime family in San Diego. Kind of Breaking-Bad-ish if you enjoyed that show.
So with the story I just read about how the Bidens were expected to kick 50% up to Joe it's like life imitating art.
Have to believe the Trump campaign hasn't been sitting on all of this for a long time just waiting until closer to election time so it doesn't get dropped down the memory hole.
Next up: Biden's counter-attack?
