"No knowledge of his business - we've never talked about it."
-
We have previously discussed the concerted and often embarrassing blackout in the media on stories involving Hunter Biden’s influence peddling during his father’s tenure as Vice President. That includes the burying of the laptop story and the growing contradictions over his father’s denial of any knowledge or involvement in his shady business dealings. Even recent reports that Hunter may have paid prostitutes with his father’s account were blacked out by mainstream media which exhaustively pursued any story related to the Trump children and their dealings and life styles.
At least Trump paid for his own hookers.
Now, however, there is a major allegation that Hunter used access to his father to seal previously unknown deals with Mexican businessmen, including Carlos Slim. A picture shows Hunter with the businessmen in the Vice President residence with his father.
As in the past, Americans interested in such stories have had to rely on the foreign press or a couple domestic sites for such information.
The new emails include references to the use of Air Force II by Hunter Biden to pursue the deals — a similar pattern revealed with regard to the China dealings. The emails detail a number of visits to Mexico, including a February 2016 flight on Air Force II with his father. On the plane was his business partner Jeff Cooper, who ran Illinois-based SimmonsCooper. That is one of the largest asbestos litigation firms in the country and Hunter was given 3 percent of Cooper’s venture capital firm Eudora Global, according to emails. President Biden’s brother (who featured in past controversial deals) was also reportedly involved in some of these efforts.
These dealings continued into 2018 as Hunter pushed for deals with Slim. One text message from July 24, 2018 reads “Spoke to my dad about ‘Slim ask” and Cooper responds “Oh that sounds SO F’ING GOOD.”
The "big guy..."
Hunter arranged for then Vice President Biden to have dinner on April 16, 2015 with his Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates. They appropriately chose a private room at Café Milano, a Georgetown restaurant that brags that it is “Where the world’s most powerful people go.” After the dinner, Hunter received an email from Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, to thank him for introducing him to his father: “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.”
Whoopsie
It is clear that Hunter Biden was selling access and influence. It appears that Joe Biden was aware of that effort. That is very serious. If these emails are false, this is a major story. If they are true, this is a major scandal. Presumably, however, this story will result in another run to the nearest ice cream shop for breathless coverage on the current frozen delights of the President.
How long before this becomes a big story?

Ooo, somebody arranged for somebody to meet the president! Hang 'im!
'It appears that Joe Biden was aware of that effort'. Sounds like Deflategate, where Tom Brady was punished for being 'generally aware' of the football tampering. We could call this DateGate.
We should bar Biden from the White House for four
gamesweeks. -

Um...when it's part of a business (cough) deal, it's rather illegal. It's called influence peddling. Also, he was VP at the time.
Also, did Hunter pay taxes on the perk of riding on AF2?

@george-k I'm just so sick of this story. It's been on life support longer than Terri Schiavo.
I'll bet there's no such thing as any administration that hasn't been at the very least looked at closely for influence peddlling.
Get over it.

Either it is a big deal or it's not.

Here's what's important to me: The media became apoplectic about Trump (allegedly) paying a pornstar for sex. They impeached him because of alleged indiscretions in Ukraine.
And here we are, with documentation on the Vice-President's son selling influence. And nobody raises an eyebrow.
If we had a curious press, this would be on page one...as it was a few short years ago.
It's not called the "ostrich media" for no reason.

And there's the problem.
If it was important for the nation concerning Trump, it should be just as important for Biden, especially when we have all of Hunter's documentation for proof.
But because it's not Trump, it's not important to you. Just as equal treatment under the law, due process and civil rights under the Constitution should apply equally to all. But that doesn't matter.
Public opinion shaped by a dishonest and biased press, doesn't matter.
Well, what does matter? What should concern us? Or should we just "get over" all of it and let the country slide into just a big version of a banana republic?
