America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections
Friday, October 16, 2020
NANCY PELOSI SIGNALS KAMALA HARRIS: GET READY TO STEP IN FRONT! JOE BIDEN IS HEADED TO PRISON - Biden is trapped. At some point, this will all come crashing down on him. And he knows it.
And the mafia comparisons don't stop there. All godfathers have jealous rivals, and so does "the big guy," surrounded as he is by ambitious and venomous wasps like Kamala Harris circling him and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talking about re-setting transitions of power. Like a mafia don, he'd better hire a food taster, because guys like this have been known to get rubbed out.
Some
incredible things have developed this week in the 2020 presidential race and
the media's coverage of it. What I'm about to lay out in the latest revelations
regarding Hunter Biden's alleged activities with foreign entities and how it
might connect back to his father, the Democratic nominee for president,
constitute an inescapable trap that Biden and his media handlers must, at some
point, attempt to free themselves from.
Let's be clear: The Hunter Biden issue is not going away. If
Biden wins the election, it won't go away. If Biden doesn't win the election,
it won't go away. It may just be a tawdry scandal. It may rise to the level of
criminal behavior (or impeachable offenses should Biden win). It may just be a
snapshot of the legal, corrupt business-as-usual in Washington, DC, but it
won't go away.
At some point, Biden will have to address the questions
swirling around his son's money-making ventures, and, at some point, the media
will have to raise the issue themselves.
At a televised "town hall event" Thursday night,
George Stephanopolous refused to raise one question about the story that
exploded on the scene Tuesday morning on the front page of the New York Post.
We expected no less from George. After all, despite his title as the
"Senior Anchor and Political Correspondent" of ABC News, we all know
that he is a former Clinton Administration hack who has had a long and ongoing
relationship with the Democratic Party, Joe Biden, and the Clinton family. We
don't expect anything resembling journalism from George.
But one
interesting observation is that Joe Biden did not take the opportunity to
address the issue himself. Think about that. This story has been in the news
for the past two days and has been fully sourced and credibly documented. If it
isn't true, if the documents are forged, if the allegations are scurrilous
opposition research meant to derail his campaign with an "October
surprise," this would have been the perfect opportunity for Biden, a skilled
and seasoned politician, to go on the record and deny every single allegation
as the trumped-up lies they are.
He didn't. He said nothing.
And there's a very real reason why he can't. Let's explore.
But, he hasn't claimed that and neither have his handlers.
Why not?
Two reasons: One because the emails are authentic. However,
in the world of Democrat politics, that normally wouldn't stop them from
claiming they're fakes. After all, Hillary Clinton got away for over a year
with the lie that she never sent any classified information on her unsecured
email server. It was a lie, but she was able to play out the clock for months
and months and months before the truth came out. All Biden has to do is last
two and a half weeks. By the time the emails are verified, the election will be
over.
Why not just deny the authenticity of the emails? The answer
brings us to the second, not-so-obvious reason Biden has not denied the
authenticity of the emails. The scandal of Hunter Biden's overseas activities
does not rely on the emails to cause great harm to Biden.
Think about it: If the Biden campaign claims the emails are
fake, it concedes the point that if the emails are authentic, there would be a
serious problem. In other words, dismissing this scandal on the grounds that
the emails are frauds is the same as saying, "IF the emails were real,
this would be a legitimate scandal."
In a nutshell, that is the trap that has now been laid for
Biden and the media.
We know Hunter Biden made a ton of money from foreign
entities with government ties linked right through China, Russia, and Ukraine and
back to the Obama White House with or without the emails. We know that.
The media has succeeded in ignoring this basic truth, but
they can't for much longer thanks to the New York Post's new revelations. This
story brings us back to the essence of the real scandal.
Biden has always said that Hunter has done nothing wrong.
Further, he continues to say that no one has suggested that Hunter did anything
wrong. And that, my friends, is the real scandal.
In a free-market economy, we earn money when we deliver a
product or a service. Hunter Biden made millions and millions and millions of
dollars from shady foreign entities with ties to the governments in countries
that the United States has tenuous if not down-right adversarial relationships.
So, what product or service did Hunter Biden deliver to these shady entities in
exchange for all of that money?
What did the questionable businesses with ties to communist
China, corrupt Ukraine, and kleptocratic Russia receive from Hunter in exchange
for the millions they gave him?
It's clear that Hunter (recently discharged from the Navy
Reserves after only one month in uniform for drug use) had no discernable
skills or expertise to bring to the table. It's clear that he fed his
destructive, narcissistic, and illegal vices with the riches he gained. It's
clear that he has never faced any criminal penalties that the average American
would suffer for the rampant drug use and illicit behavior he exhibited.
Indeed, he continued to be protected and rewarded for his actions. Talk about
privilege.
It's
obvious on the face of it that Hunter received this money because his last name
was Biden and these foreign entities had a firm belief that they would receive
something in return for the money. Again, no one has denied this. Biden has
merely said that he had no knowledge of Hunter's dealings and it had no effect
on American policy.
And there's the trap.
Biden can't deny the emails are real because it would concede
the point that if they were real, there'd be something wrong. And Biden can't
say that because we know of Hunter's dealings with or without the emails.
Biden's only message through all of this is that Hunter did
nothing wrong. And that is the real scandal.
Suppose it is totally fine, legal, and proper for the vice
president's son to collect millions of dollars from nefarious foreign actors
while not providing any legitimate product or service in exchange, and for
those shady entities to expect some level of access or influence for the
millions they're shelling out. In that case, something is seriously broken in
Washington, DC. And Joe Biden is standing by the notion that everything is
fine.
Now, the more we look and investigate, there could very well
be behavior that is criminal on behalf of either Biden in this story. And if
so, expect impeachment proceedings to commence should Biden the elder win
election. But, if everything in this tawdry, dirty tale is completely legal,
and Biden stands by the status quo as perfectly acceptable, that's frankly even
a greater reason to ensure he never wins another election in his life.
Either way, this tale paints a dirty picture of the DC swamp
and Biden wants everyone to know that everything here is just fine.
Where's the reporter who will ask the vice president the
obvious question: If it would be wrong for a member of the president's family
to work for a foreign business, why was it not wrong for members of the vice president's family to do so?
Biden is trapped. At some point, this will all come crashing
down on him. And he knows it.
Hunter in fact drove a hard bargain for his "introductions" to his father and perhaps others in the Obama administration and the cash rolled in. And American foreign policy became quite the object out there for sale. Imagine this machine scarfing up cash, and combine it with the Clinton and maybe Obama poltical machines also scarfing up cash from third world satraps eager for an audience.
Tucker Carlson: 'Did Joe Biden Subvert American Foreign Policy in Order to Enrich his Own Family?'
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson has new Hunter Biden emails. They look authentic. The review his ream suggests so, but added some skepticism, noting that if they are fake, we’ve all fallen for a sophisticated and complex hoax. The son of the former vice president was always an issue. His gig with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company where he sat on its board making $50k/month despite having zero energy industry experience, raised alarms even in the Obama administration. He slithered into this position back in 2014, when Papa Joe was leading anti-corruption efforts in the country. Burisma was being investigated for corruption and all of a sudden, the prosecutor in the case was fired.
It’s long been alleged that Hunter was there selling access to top Obama officials. These emails point to that, with Burisma obtaining access to a leaked Obama White House conference call. Joe Biden has said he knew nothing of his son’s dealings. Wrong. Emails show Joe was introduced through his son to executives from Burisma. Yet, Tucker’s new batch suggests that Burisma explicitly wanted Hunter to ask his dad to kill any probes into the company—and that’s exactly what happened. Tucker pointedly asked “Did Joe Biden subvert American foreign policy to enrich his own family” (via Fox News):
The show has obtained new Hunter Biden emails that expose corruption. You will not want to miss tonight’s report. Tune in at 8pm EST on #FoxNews
On Nov. 2, 2015, at 4:36 p.m., a Burisma executive called Vadym Pozharskyi emailed Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer. The purpose of the email, Pozharskyi explains, is to "be on the same page re our final goals ... including, but not limited to: a concrete course of actions."
So what did Burisma want, exactly? Well, good PR, for starters. Pozharskyi wanted "high-ranking US [sic] officials" to express their "positive opinion" of Burisma, and then he wanted the administration to act on Burisma's behalf.
"The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US [sic] policy-makers to Ukraine in November, aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive signal/message and support" to Burisma.
The goal, Pozharskyi explained, was to "close down for [sic] any cases/pursuits" against the head of Burisma in Ukraine.
It couldn't be clearer what they wanted. Burisma wanted Huter Biden's father to get their company out of legal trouble with the Ukrainian government. And that's exactly what happened. One month later to the day, on Dec. 2, 2015, Hunter Biden received a notice from a Washington PR firm called Blue Star Strategies, which apparently had been hired to lobby the Obama administration on Ukraine. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" have exclusively obtained that email.
"Hello all ..." it began. "This morning, the White House hosted a conference call regarding the Vice President's upcoming trip to Ukraine. Attached is a memo from the Blue Star Strategies team with the minutes of the call, which outlined the trip's agenda and addressed several questions regarding U.S. policy toward Ukraine."
So here you have a PR firm involved in an official White House foreign policy call. How could that happen? Good question. But it worked.
Days later, Joe Biden flew to Ukraine and did exactly what his son wanted. The vice president gave a speech slamming the very Ukrainian law enforcement official who was tormenting Burisma. If the Ukrainian government didn't fire its top prosecutor, a man called Viktor Shokin, Biden explained, the administration would withhold a billion dollars in American aid. Now, Ukraine is a poor country, so they had no choice but to obey. Biden's bullying worked. He bragged about it later.
And it’s not just Hunter causing ethical heartburn here. Joe Biden’s son-in-law, Howard Krein, is informally advising the former VP on coronavirus policy while peddling a million-dollar COVID investment opportunity in StartUp Health. Politicoreported on this potential conflict of interest, adding that Startup Health is “putting the full support of its platform and network behind building a post-Covid world that uses technology and entrepreneurial ingenuity to improve health outcomes.” And now, the FBI is investigating Hunter’s emails as part of a possible foreign intelligence operation.
Hunter emails were exposed when he dropped off his MacBook Pro at a repair shop in Delaware in April of 2019. He didn’t pick it up. The owner then sent the device to the FBI, but not before making a copy which he gave to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. So, how long did the FBI know about this? That’s another story entirely. For now, we have more Dirty Biden news.
The use of "the Biden crime family" is no mere
hyperbole. Before Rudy Giuliani was "America's
Mayor," he was one of America's top prosecutors,
which included bringing down mafia crime
families. And he has evidence — from Hunter —
that implicates not only Hunter and Joe Biden, but
also James (Joe's brother) and Sara (James's
wife). One set of payments from China went to a
triad of Bidens: James, Hunter, and Sara. Don't
worry, Giuliani says — you're going to see it in the
texts, not making it up.
emails: Burisma Adviser Told Hunter Biden His ‘Ultimate Purpose’ Was to ‘Close Down’ Investigations
An adviser to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma suggested in an email in 2015 that Hunter Biden was expected to provide “deliverables” for the company, including the “ultimate purpose” of stopping “cases/pursuits into the company’s founder.
The email, contained in a batch published by Ken LaCorte at the Media Action Network, is reportedly from the same laptop that has been the source for a recent series of articles in the New York Post purportedly about Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The authenticity of the emails has not been verified.
The batch includes an email in November 2015 from Burisma adviser Vadim Pozharskyi to Hunter Biden’s business partners (on which Hunter Biden was cc’ed), outlining a set of “deliverables.”
The emails make clear that Biden and his partners were expected to arrange meetings with U.S. and Ukrainian officials with the goal of “improving Nikolay’s case and his situation in Ukraine.”
“Nikolay” appears to refer to Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, according to the Post.
Pozharskyi wrote that the “list of deliverables” included “the ultimate purpose” of stopping “cases/pursuits against Nikolay”:
My only concern is focus to be on the same page re our final goals. With this in mind, I would like to formulate a list of deliverables, including, but not limited to: a concrete course of actions, uncle. meetings/communications resulting in high-ranking US officials in Ukraine (US Ambassador) and in US publicly or in private communication/comment expressing their “positive opinion” and support of Nikolay/Burisma to the highest level of decision makers here in Ukraine :President of Ukraine, president Chief of staff, Prosecutor General, etc
The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US policy-makers to Ukraine in November aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive signal/message and support on Nikolay’s issue to the Ukrainian top officials above with the ultimate purpose to close down for any cases/pursuits against Nikolay in Ukraine.
Other emails in the trove show a keen awareness of Hunter Biden’s relationship to his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, who was leading U.S. diplomacy with regard to Ukraine.
In May 2014, Pozharksyi wrote to Hunter Biden and Archer explaining that Burisma was under pressure from the Ukrainian government. He claimed that government officials, seeking cash, had decided to pressure the company by launching investigations that could result in the company losing its energy licenses or its business partners.
He added:”We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions”.
Another May 2014 email from Heather King, a partner at the Boies, Schiller & Flexner law firm, to Pozharskyi — on which Hunter Biden and Archer were cc’ed — proposed creating a “bullet-proof vest” for Burisma, including relationships with U.S. government officials.
Another email, dated May 13, 2014, reported that Vice President Biden’s counsel called Hunter Biden’s business partners to ask that they tell Burisma to take down a photograph of Devon Hunter and Joe Biden that appeared on Burisma’s website.
That was the same day reporters asked the White House and State Department about Hunter Biden’s relationship with Burisma. (Joe Biden has claimed that he was not informed about potential conflicts of interest posed by his son’s work for Burisma.)
In 2018, former Vice President Joe Biden boasted that he had threatened Ukraine with the loss of $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees — in the middle of a war with Russia — if the country did not fire its top prosecutor, which it then did.
Former Vice President Biden has also denied having anything to do with his son’s overseas business interests, but the Postrevealed that Hunter Biden had arranged a meeting between his father and Pozharskyi in 2015.
Breitbart News reached out to Pozharskyi for comment via email, but received no response.
