Media Continue to Ignore Evidence That Joe Was Involved in Hunter’s Shady Business Dealings

In September 2019 then-presidential candidate Joe Biden claimed that he never discussed business with his son Hunter, who had leveraged the family name to rake in overseas cash from Chinese Communists and Ukrainian energy interests. “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said. “Here’s what I know. Trump should be investigated.”

Trump, of course, was the target of numerous criminal and journalistic investigations. One would imagine that the mounting evidence that Biden not only knew Hunter was selling influence but that he may have benefited financially would spark a cursory journalistic curiosity.

Alas, most of the establishment media and tech companies had attempted to cover up the New York Post’s reporting — corroborated, conveniently, after the election by Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger — in which, in great detail, the newspaper documented emails obtained from Hunter’s laptop. In a number of them Hunter and business associates openly talk about Joe’s inclusion — “10 held by H for the big guy?” — in the family business. Those emails were buttressed by Hunter’s former partner and Navy veteran Tony Bobulinski, who contends that he’d had a business meeting with Joe Biden in 2017, and that the former vice president had been intimately involved in the family overseas business for years. None of this is to even mention the two Obama-administration officials who reportedly raised the ethical concerns about Hunter’s business dealings. The notion that Joe never discussed any of this with his son is implausible. As far as I can tell, no reporter has even asked him about this topic since he’s become president.

Now, the Daily Mail reports that it has recovered more emails from Hunter’s laptop in which he and Eric Schwerin, a business partner, discuss working on Joe Biden’s taxes, talk about a shared bank account, ponder Joe Biden’s potential book deal, take emails from other senators, and help managed donations for Joe’s Senate papers at the University of Delaware. (Which, incredibly enough, the public has not yet seen, even though Biden left the Senate more than a decade ago. Those memos between Joe and his Dixiecrat mentors must be interesting reading.) Hunter complained that “half” of his salary was spent paying his father’s bills even while Joe was vice president.

Seems newsworthy.

Politico recently noted that Hunter “complicates” the White House’s anti-corruption push. Indeed. Imagine how complicated things will get if we learn that Joe Biden knew his son was selling influence, lied about it, and benefitted from the efforts? Maybe Hunter was making it all up — though, surely, he never imagined the correspondence would be made public. We have little idea, mostly because the establishment press has shown near-zero interest in marshaling its considerable resources to find out — a perk not all presidents are afforded.
