    Is English not your first language? "Giuliani provided The Post with a copy of it on Sunday." The "it" in that sentence is referring to "the hard drive".

    Nowhere that I've read has the Post ever said they only received "PDFs of emails from Giuliani". That appears to be a story that you have invented out of thin air.

    The FBI has had this info for a year....TRUMPS FBI....and nothing from them on this. Odd that they had this al this time, and 2 weeks before the election Rudy gets it, and Rudy releases selective information designed to hurt Biden in the election ?

    Stevie Wonder can see whats going on here

    Keep denying Hunter Biden, a non-skilled crackhead making millions of dollars without being able to explain how.

    Keep attacking the Trump's millionaire kids who ran successful businesses and made just as much or more before their father was President.

    I'm sure that strategy will work.

    I'll just sit back and wait for the other Breitbart to drop.

    I'm certain I've mentioned this before, but the FBI has a policy against commenting on ongoing investigations. Why was "nothing from them on this" a surprise to you, or anyone? That's how it's supposed to be. They're not supposed to offer public comment on ongoing investigations.

    You cannot be serious ? You mean the kids who cant be part of any charity anymore because they stole from their Charity ?

    You should be able to easily explain Ivankas Chinese trademarks right ?

    Which "successful business' " did they run ?

    Look, Hunter may be corrupt, but whats came out last week is ridiculous. All we have is a picture of an email, and a bunch of Trump sycophants claiming things that have no basis in fact. The FBI has the laptop (TRUMPS FBI), and they have had it for a long time. WHY, havent they saud anything ? Why is it Rudy who made the accusations ?

    Sure.

    She applied for trademarks just like she had in the past and received them.

    This is the part where you try to pretend that Trump is giving China something while basically waging economic warfare on them.

    How could a worthless crackhead like Hunter Biden make millions of dollars? Please explain.

    You want me to explain why the FBI doesn't announce ongoing investigations? That's an easy one to figure out for yourself.

    I have something Fox News reported so far:

    and something Mediaite reported:

    Evidently, the sourcing and veracity of at least one of these e-mails has been properly vetted, and since I am neither Sam Dorman nor Mike Emmanuel you'll have to contact them if you need more information, such as the individual's identity. Whether they are willing and/or able to provide you with that information is something you'll have to find out for yourself.

    Now, if you have some evidence refuting Dorman and Emmanuel's report, by all means let's see what you have.

    So . . . anonymous sources. All you have are anonymous sources. That haven't been independently vetted by another publication.

    Here is the thing.

    If you look at the timeline, it does make sense that they might think that hiring Hunter would help the CEOs chances on his investigation by Shokins office (because remember, the investigation wasn't into the company, it was into the CEOs time as a minister in the govt giving contracts) as they also hired an ex President of Poland and GW Bush's Counter Terrorism Chief at the same time, which shows an attempt to hire people with political contacts and Influence with the EU and the US as both of those were the ones pushing to remove Shokin.

    Now the question is whether or not actual money changed hands, and so far there is no evidence of such.

    Plus you add in all this hokey crap from Rudy and any semblance of a reasonable argument and investigation goes right out the window.

    We've hashed this before.

    The difference between Hunter Biden, the ex-President of Poland, and Dubya's Counter Terrorism chief is that two of them had skills.

    We know money changed hands. We know Hunter Biden has received millions of dollars from multiple sources.

    I'm sure someone could explain to you why the ex-President of Poland might be hired. I'm sure they could explain why a counter terrorism expert might be hired.

    Can anyone explain why Hunter Biden might be hired?

    Oh don't get me wrong, Hunter had no business being on that board from a logical Natural Gas business PoV.

    But, I don't think it's illegal to hire an unqualified individual to a board if approved by said board. If the reason was access to Joe, then that only becomes illegal if access and a reciprocation occurred (AFAIK anyway. Am not a lawyer and would play a terrible one on tv).

    So far the evidence only shows Hunter got legally paid by the company. That's it.

    So they hired a crackhead and paid him for years without any benefit is your theory?

    Busima isn't the only source of foreign money flowing into his hands though, is it?

    The curious thing here is the Hunter was also handsomely paid by both Russia and the Ukraine. Gosh, turns out that they got to play here too.

    Again, I'm neither Dorman nor Emmanuel. What they have and what I have are two different things. As for what you have, that remains to be seen.

    Incidentally, I neglected to point out the 800 pound gorilla in the room - neither the Big Guy, the Big Guy's campaign nor the Big Guy's son have disputed the authenticity of the emails released so far. Furthermore, two of Quid Pro Quo Joe's advisors - Michael Carpenter and Amos Hochstein - conceded to Politico that their boss may have unofficially met with Burisma exec Vadym Pozharskyi, which if I recall correctly, was shortly before he blackmailed the Ukrainian government into firing Victor Shokin before the prosecutor had an opportunity to interview/interrogate his son.

    Yeah, but finally Kamala has met with reporters and is finally taking questions, wait, what, those were not reporters, but who were they? Oh, The Avengers. Well close enough.

    I suppose that if you haven't seen the email strings, that's where a lot of folks are. On the other hand, the actual email threads actually refer in many ways and on many occasions to the pass throughs to his dad. This isn't going to be pretty for Joe.

    And your evidence or any kind of illegal payments is . . . ? Ah, forgot. That's what always sends them running.

    She did and they were denied, for almost 10 years. Odd that that decision changed and she got them the day her dad met with Xi ?

    Odd that he gave ZTE access to Us manufactured goods 5 days later.....you know, the same US Goods he denied them access to earlier because they were "misleading regulators and stealing US Serets"

    I dont know. Ask Eric Trump

    Yes. Explain why they had this laptop for a year, and didn't announce that they were investigating Joe Biden ?

    Real journalists like greenwald have to flee America.

    He may end up dead in the country he fled to given he is speaking truth to power there.

    Prediction:

    Over this scandal, the Dem House of Rep will impeach Biden and the Rep Senate will gladly remove him.in order to put in Kamala.

    That joke aside, Greenwood is an extraordinary journalist and he speaks the truth.
