A lot of credibility there
A lot of credibility there
Hunter Biden is a sleaze and a douchebag. But he's got an influential daddy- so he can still earn big bucks, in spite of being dumb as a box of rocks. Lucky him.
His Siamese twin.
The Trump campaign and its right-wing media messengers have devoted the final stretch of the election to insisting they had uncovered proof of deep corruption by the Biden family, along with demands that the mainstream media cover their allegations. (“Cover” means float insinuations of guilt, rather than nailing down the truth of the charges.)
There have been several fishy aspects to the accusations, however. For one, incriminating information supposedly located on a Hunter Biden laptop left in a Delaware computer shop had in fact been circulating in Ukraine well before it was reportedly turned over to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. Over the weekend, Time reported that the Hunter Biden emails and photos were being shopped in Kiev last fall by somebody who “wanted to sell it to Republican allies of President Trump.” Several days later, Politico reported the “Hunter Biden laptop” material was being shopped around by a “Ukrainian oligarch looking for help with a potential legal jam” as early as spring of 2019.
Another oddity in the timing, as Andrew Prokop noticed, is that the star witness for Fox News and Trump, Tony Bobulinski, claimed he only came forward because he was outraged at the response to the New York Post story first reporting the email hacks. But Ben Smith reported in the New York Times that Bobulinski was working with Trump’s campaign to pitch the story to the Wall Street Journal, before they settled for giving it to the New York Post. (The Journal duly reported that they had no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden.)
On Wednesday night’s show, Tucker Carlson reported that his team had acquired incriminating documents. However, they sent them from Washington to Los Angeles, and the documents disappeared. And they neglected to make any copies. So now the only copy of the documents that would nail the probable next President of the United States are gone:

That just shows how desperate Biden is to make this story disappear and in no way reflects poorly on the credibility of the sources of this alleged scandal.

Stupidgate just got a whole lot stupider!
Apparently that laptop was dropped off 18 months ago and Hunter must have just forgotten about it.
Anyway, Guiliani doesn't take well to being doubted.
Old Rudy has a way with female journalists.
Kennedy is another Fox News talking head so good on her for nailing the fucking wanker.
Great job!
Hunter Biden: What was he doing in Ukraine and China?
Hunter Biden: What was he doing in Ukraine and China? - BBC News
President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic White House challenger Joe Biden of wrongdoing in regards to Ukraine and China while he was vice-president, which he denies.
The issue has resurfaced following a New York Post article about an alleged email in which an adviser from a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, apparently thanked Mr Biden's son, Hunter, for inviting him to meet his father.
Asked about the allegations, Joe Biden told a reporter it was a "smear campaign". No criminal activity has been proven, and no evidence has emerged that Mr Biden did anything to intentionally benefit his son.
Claims of influence-peddling are common in Washington DC and Mr Trump's children have also been accused of conflicts of interest in lucrative business deals overseas. They, too, deny wrongdoing.
Mr Biden will face Mr Trump, a Republican, in next week's presidential election.
What does the New York Post article say?
An article has appeared in the New York Post focused on an email from April 2015, in which an adviser to Burisma, Vadym Pozharskyi, apparently thanked Hunter Biden for inviting him to meet his father in Washington.
Hunter, Joe Biden's second son, was a director on the board of Burisma - a Ukrainian-owned private energy company while his father was the Obama administration's pointman on US-Ukrainian relations. Hunter was one of several foreigners on its board.
The New York Post article did not provide evidence that the meeting ever took place. The Biden election campaign said there was no record of any such meeting on the former vice-president's "official schedule" from the time.
But in a statement to Politico, the campaign also acknowledged that Mr Biden could have had an "informal interaction" with the Burisma adviser that did not appear on his official schedule, though it said any such encounter would have been "cursory".
"Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and political by a GOP colleague, have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official US policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing," said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for Mr Biden.
The campaign also decried the New York Post story as "Russian disinformation", though it did not say the emails were bogus.
The New York Post article has been shared by President Trump and his allies. Two of his former advisers, Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani, were involved in providing the story and the hard drive containing the alleged emails, to the newspaper.
Mr Giuliani says the messages were found on a laptop that Hunter dropped off at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019.
Sceptics have noted that Mr Giuliani travelled in December 2019 to Kyiv where he met Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach, whom the US Treasury has designated as a longtime Kremlin agent. Mr Giuliani has acknowledged trying dig up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine.
But the US Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, said in a recent interview with Fox Business that the purported emails were not connected to a Russian disinformation effort.
Other US media say they have been unable to verify the authenticity of the emails. Hunter has neither confirmed nor denied that he dropped off a laptop at the location.
Hunter joined Burisma in 2014, and remained on the board until April 2019, when he decided to leave.

They once peddled misinformation for Guo Wengui and Steve Bannon. Now they're speaking out

In late September, a US-based Chinese YouTuber called Lude delivered a cryptic message to his 200,000 subscribers.
Key points:
- The New Federal State of China is a self-proclaimed pro-democracy group headed by Steve Bannon and billionaire Guo Wengui
- An Australian whistleblower is speaking out about how the group spreads misinformation and conspiracy theories online
- After leaving the group, he has been threatened by Mr Guo and his followers in Australia
He said there were "three hard drives" that contained explosive materials about Hunter Biden, the son of Presidential candidate Joe Biden.
It was alleged that the hard drives held evidence of Hunter Biden's secret deals in China and Ukraine, as well as sex tapes with graphic scenes of sexual abuse.
"A fellow fighter of our whistleblowers' movement got it," Lude said in his show.
Lude is part of a group of online influencers led by the controversial Chinese billionaire, Guo Wengui (also known as Miles Kwok) and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon.
Their "whistleblowers' movement", rebranded this year by the duo as The New Federal State of China, soon became the centre of Hunter Biden's laptop scandal.
Long article, rest is here
We know this is bullshit because the fake Hunter Biden shit was being peddled by the Russians in 2019 and then "miraculously" turned up on a laptop in 2020. A laptop which the New York Post refuse to share with anyone else in case they can prove the material they are peddling turns out to be the same, and added to the laptop hard drive before Russian stooge Giuliani got his hands on it.
When it comes to American politics, anything could be real or fake. If you want to dismiss it as fake because it's your side, then fairplay.
A bit late on that one...[Amid all the scrutiny, the Democratic White House nominee said last year that if he is elected president, no-one in his family will hold a job or have a business relationship with a foreign corporation or foreign government.
As predicted, the Hunter Biden fairytale evaporated into thin air.
Computer repairman at center of Hunter Biden scandal closes his store | The Independent
Really! 555!
where the hell are deeks, terry57 and mozzieb and Co. I really want to rub their noses in it.
What a surprise. Shouldn't this discovery be placed in a thread "Strange and Unusual Facts"?
So the shop is closed, the messages, tapes and any testimonies are no longer to be found, hence, it does not happened, case closed, just a conspiracy theory...
(Wondering the shop owner still alive? Could have been sued and thrown in jail for perjury or anything else like Assange...)
What are the details?
What are the details?
According to the Delaware News Journal, a "closed" sign now appears in the window of Mac Isaac's shop.
His attorney, Brian Della Rocca, told the outlet that his client closed up shop after he received several death threats. He has not elaborated on Mac Isaac's whereabouts at the time of this reporting, though a neighbor told the outlet that Mac Isaac left town.
In October, Mac Isaac said that he retained a copy of the hard drive's contents because he "feared he would be killed by people who 'work for [Joe] Biden' and having it was 'protection.'"
Della Rocca told the outlet that he did not believe his client would be involved in any potential lawsuits or investigations related to the laptop.
The outlet noted that Della Rocca "said his office has spoken in recent weeks with Wilmington FBI agents and with Delaware's Assistant United States Attorney Leslie Wolf" but that he "declined to describe the nature of the conversations."
"I've been in touch with federal law enforcement, yes," he told the outlet.
Neither the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware nor the Federal Bureau of Investigation commented when approached by the outlet for remarks on the allegations.
In October, the New York Post reported that Mac Isaac was asked to repair a computer that reportedly contained a variety of nefarious and possibly incriminating emails and photos appearing to confirm that a secret meeting between the former vice president and a top Burisma executive had taken place.
He later told Fox News, "I just don't know what to say, or what I'm allowed to say. I know that I saw, I saw stuff — and I was concerned. I was concerned that somebody might want to come looking for this stuff eventually — and I wanted it out of my shop."
