Since Hunter Biden's shady deals with foreign countries---specifically Ukraine, Joe Biden has repeatedly said he had no idea what his son was up to, but he "trusted his son."
That lie was blown up yesterday when it became public knowledge that father Joe knew exactly what son Hunter was "up to" with the Ukraine government.
In fact, a "thank you" from the government to Hunter for connecting them to his then US Vice President Biden father was found on Hunter's laptop hard drive.
The news media are generally refusing to talk about it, and yesterday afternoon, Facebook began reducing the distribution of the story.
Panic.
Here's the story.
Be informed, not misled.
The New York Post broke the story. It's significant that the news media is avoiding saying much, if anything, Facebook is reducing distribution of the facts, and the Biden campaign is strongly denying it.
The denial.
Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed that he really didn't know what son Hunter was doing in his relationships with foreign countries, including Ukraine. He has also said, often, that he trusts his son.
But he and his son have contradicted one another about what Joe knew and when he knew it.
Joe angrily told reporters as he was accusing President Trump of abusing his power: "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings."
But Biden's son has contradicted his father's claim. Hunter admitted during a series of interviews for a New Yorker profile published in June that he, in fact, had discussed his foreign business interests with his father on at least one occasion.
He said, "Dad said, 'I hope you know what you're doing' and I said 'I do'."
As all the shadowy entanglements that Hunter is known to be involved in becomes more exposed to the light of day, it becomes more clear that Hunter does indeed know what he's doing. And so does his father.
The bust.
The Post is reporting that a laptop left in a repair shop in Delaware, which has been turned over to the FBI, contains emails that clearly show that Joe Biden was complicit with what his son was up to.
Pictures and other information on the hard drive show that the laptop belongs to Hunter Biden.
The emails acquired by the Post show the following:
- Hunter Biden introduced his father, then Vice-President Joe Biden, to a top executive at the Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before father Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company.
- The meeting---a never before mentioned meeting, is mentioned in an email expressing appreciation to Hunter for "inviting me to DC and giving me the opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together. It's really an honor and pleasure." That was April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a salary of somewhere between $50,000 a month and $83,000 per month.
- An earlier email from May 2014 shows Pozharskyi, reportedly the number 3 executive at Burmisa, asking Hunter for "advice on how you could use your influence" on the company's behalf.
The reaction.
The Joe Biden campaign is pushing back hard---saying there's nothing there, absolute lie, etc. They say this information is related to Rudy Guiliani who "has been pushing widely discredited conspiracy theories about the Biden family."
But the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chair says they are now going to go through all the emails.
Sen Ron Johnson (R-WI), the chair of the committee, said yesterday "that he has been in contact with the person who released the emails to verify this information."
While Sen Johnson reviews the authenticity of the information, Facebook has announced that they are, as of yesterday afternoon, reducing distribution of the Hunter Biden story.
Yesterday, Sen Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) who serves on the Judiciary Committee now holding hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, went on Twitter with this message: "I want to know on what grounds you are actively censoring a news report about potentially illegal corruption by the Democrat candidate for president. If you have evidence this is 'disinformation' disclose it immediately."
.@Facebook I want to know on what grounds you are actively censoring a news report about potentially illegal corruption by the Democrat candidate for president. If you have evidence this is “disinformation,” disclose it immediately. Expect a formal inquiry from my office

The takeaway
A little over 100 years after our Constitution was created, "A Century of Congress" by James Garfield was published in the Atlantic.
He said:
"Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption... if the next centennial does not find us a great nation... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."
The election that lies before us is all about the people "controlling the political forces."
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Prayerful. VOTE.
