Hunter Biden discussed leveraging his connection to his father in a bid to boost his pay from a Ukrainian natural-gas company, according to an e-mail he sent around the time he joined the firm’s corporate board.
In a lengthy memo to his then-business partner, Devon Archer, who already sat on the Burisma board, Biden repeatedly mentioned “my guy” while apparently referring to then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Under President Barack Obama, the elder Biden was the point person for US policy toward Ukraine, and he held a press conference there with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk on April 22, 2014.
Hunter Biden’s e-mail to Archer is dated a little more than a week earlier.
“The announcement of my guys [sic] upcoming travels should be characterized as part of our advice and thinking- but what he will say and do is out of our hands,” Hunter Biden wrote on April 13, 2014.
“In other words it could be a really good thing or it could end up creating too great an expectation. We need to temper expectations regarding that visit.”
The e-mail, labeled from Robert Biden — Hunter’s given first name — is among a trove of messages, documents, photos and videos purportedly recovered from a MacBook Pro laptop that a Delaware computer-shop owner told The Post was brought in for repair in April 2019 and never picked up afterward. […]
The e-mail to Archer contained 22 bullet points and bore the subject line “Tmrw.”
In No. 22, Hunter Biden told Archer, “Buy a cell phone from a 7/11 or CVS tmrw and ill do the same.”
Following the bullet points, Hunter Biden wrote, “This could be the break we have been waiting for if they really are smart enough to understand our long term value. If they are looking to just use us until the storm passes then we risked far too much for far too little.

Media reaction is swift.
A strict policy: Never believe or pass on news from sketchy sources. Never. Unless it's a secret recording of the President. Or the First Lady. Or the National Security Adviser. Or tax returns. Or a dossier. Or a pee tape. Or head-of-state call transcripts. Or…

So the USA has a president who is scaling Everest. The lead Sherpa he had, Flynn, was taken out early on. He has a crew of maybe a few hundred at this point, maybe a few thousand, against possibly millions of deep staters fighting him at every turn. Every agency, every department, state legislatures, city governments, CNN, NYT, Hollywood, infested with freedom destroying cancer.
Does anyone expect the FBI to “do the right thing”, after observing the behaviour of the entire organization for the past 12 years? Hunter Biden skates, just like all the rest, because draining the swamp is a multi-decade project, if it can be accomplished at all. Maybe the third President after Trump would actually be able to “lock her up”, but that is still a long way off.
In Canada, we have not even begun to contemplate thinking about starting to consider maybe we have some problems in our government. Cause you know that at least some of the “Trump Collusion” hoax was run out of the Privy Council.
“recovered from a MacBook Pro laptop that a Delaware computer-shop owner told The Post was brought in for repair in April 2019 and never picked up afterward. […]”
SMH. These people are truly stupid.
If this was news about Trump you would all be screaming “fake news!”. “fabrications!”
But expecting intellectual integrity from a Trump supporter is clearly too much to ask.
Blatant corruption by the guy that is actually in office was reported last week where Trump was caught granting government favours to people who spent big money at his personal properties.
But not a peep from this crowd. You would rather go on about the alleged improprieties of someone who is not running for any office.
So sorry, it is hard to get too exercised about them. Perhaps when you guys start calling out Trump for his blatant corruption it might be worth looking at. Until then. Yawn…..
Joe Biden isn’t running for any office? The things I learn here.
I hear he is running for the Senate again.
Read slowly: Obama gave Pearson Publishing 350 million for Commoncore then he received 65 million for a book deal from them. I’ll shit on Trump when you shit on Obama. And then I’ll shit on Obama some more.
Timmy… it is such a great argument for a school yard and typical of leftist mentality.. “Oh yeah! our guy is crap but your guy is crappier.” Lame.
You would rather go on about the improprieties of Joe Biden while he held the office of Vice President. FIFY
Let me break it down for you tiny Tim. Joe Biden held the office of VP while his son Hunter pedaled his father Joe’s influence.
This is big news of bad corruption in the Obama Whitehouse.
” Perhaps when you guys start calling out Trump for his blatant corruption it might be worth looking at.”
It’s worth looking at right now, not later after your prerequisites are satisfied.
For your information: nobody cares what you think, Timmy. Now take these scissors and run, go play in the traffic.
The allegations are about Hunter Biden attempting to sell access to his father from a very sketchy source. That does not provide any evidence that his father actually helped him out.
But like I said: you guys ignore blatant corruption by Trump that is going on today. Why should these allegations matter given much thought given Trumps blatant corruption? If anything, people who care about getting corruption out of government should be voting for Biden because a second term for Trump would be the most corrupt administration that the US has ever seen. Trump makes Hunter Biden look like an amateur.
Enlighten us about this corruption. Please and thank you.
He’s Trump, and he’s rude and crude and exaggerates, and that’s enough for our chess-playing pigeon.
Maybe Timmy is one of Facebook’s “third party fact checkers.” IOW it’s a fact he won’t check the story for veracity.
Spare us all with your TDS timmy boy….
Your boy Obama could become the new definition of Corruption & THE face of Race Baiting.
I’m starting to hear some credible noise that might take down the Entire disgusting Filthy corrupt Deep State of him, Hillary and quite a few others….something to do with Osama bin Laden (not dead), a Helicopter crash with members of Seal Team 6 and a pallet of cash to IRAN….ring any bells sonny..??
Recall that ISLAMIST (_i_)hole bowing to the Islamic world..?
Recall Benghazi..? And one wonders how many other times guys on the ground have been denied support.
It took your hero, a BLACK President to bring back slavery to Libya.
Spare me…
steakman, If there is ever a statue erected in your honor, please let me know, as I would wish to attend the unveiling and bring flowers and champaigne.
Notwithstanding 48 hour validation now underway, so we will see, but this is fun to watch the false narrators pivot to proof.
From Timmy who screams Russia collusion and forwards every other fantasy his TDS infected mind can concoct.
Laughable projection, hypocrisy, diversion and mendacity. Rudy turned the material in Timmy. Cue for head explosion.
Unlike the pee tapes, there are photos of Robert Hunter Biden. Plus it shows Joe lied about his knowledge of Burisma.
Yawn away, sleep walk if you want to join your zero energy compatriots in DeMarxist land.
Or is it conservative who became a progressive therefore a friggin communist?
Hyperbole? You betcha. Your petard is calling asking for you to be hoisted on it. I love the smell of whistleblower irony in the morning.
Timmy’s just pissed the farcical emoluments lawsuit was dismissed.
The reason Timmy isn’t posting any references to his TDS-infused conjecture is because the source is the NYT and their ‘analysis’ of PDJTs tax returns, which even he knows is partisan hackery. This, the same paper that claimed he paid only 750 dollars in income tax while scurrilously ignoring he paid millions more in alternative minimum tax, or maybe it’s buried somewhere at the end of the article – the effect is the same regardless.
Your team fails Tim. I know, it’s frustrating. Stop relying on the NYT, you might get smarter.
Timmy Boy
Your Head is so far up the 7th planet from the Sun, that you shall never see daylight.
Well I suppose Joe can always use the dementia excuse.
“Well I’m sure Joe could always use the dementia excuse”. He could, but forgot where he left it.
“But not a peep from this crowd. You would rather go on about the alleged improprieties of someone who is not running for any office”
Hunter used his father’s position as VP to gain monetary advantage; the Biden family were in a conflict of interest which happens to be an indictable offence except in Canada where a PM can set up a government program that benefits a company that his family worked for.
Trump abuses the power of his office on a daily basis. I am much more concerned about those improprieties because they are committed by the current President and they are ongoing. Why should any care about these allegations against Hunter Biden when the allegations against Trump are many times worse?
Cite examples, please.
Make sure these are from credible sources. Joy Behar, Whoopie Goldberg, etc. are not such sources.
You and those that “think”, like you are the real problem in America (& Canada)
Products of Marxist inspired Common Core type “education”, indoctrinated & blissfully unaware that you actually support TRAITORS…..my dog is brighter than you ffs.
LIberal Voter..?
Eastern Canada dweller..?
CBC your one & only source of “news”
yea, Totally figures
Hey Tim,
Leftists like you all have their panties in a knot about influence peddling and corruption, which will prove to be serious and be prosecuted. Third- World standards and policies of doing business have been imported for hundreds of years, despite clear and pointed laws making such temptations illegal, we now have politicians and family flaunting and boasting of how they are doing this. But you Liberals and Socialist know that you are not smart enough to be able to do business and make money within the law, so this is you MO and will defend it exuberantly.
So – Tim G – “blatant corruption”? So we had a three year investigation that didn’t produce enough evidence to instigate a sought after impeachment let alone criminal charges. An impeachment hearing that was a nothing burger. So where is your blatant evidence? Oh, I forgot if you say it it had to be true. And of course you can always hire someone to make up a phony dossier to support your statement.
It was the genius of the wording. Investigating “Russian collusion”; collusion is not a crime. Conspiracy would be a crime, but collusion is not. Notice how they were all very careful to never use the word “conspiracy”.
So there was 3 years where they were investigating something that has no criminal definition in any legal text anywhere. It was all a smear job from beginning to end, with no goal other than besmirching names.
The response of the globalist media to the Post story is about what you’d expect. “Russia! Russia! Russia!”
LOTS of “debunking” going the rounds this morning. They move fast, I’ll give them that.
This is the winner here so far….

Did Hunter wear a hat with a feather in it when he pimped out old Joe to the Russian and Ukraine mafias?
The fact that this entire subject is declared off limits by the media shows a sure way to stay out of jail. Just run for president. Then prosecution would just become persecution of the political opponent.
The pimp, er lawyer, of the hooker who alleged sexual relations with Trump, made a mistake by not declaring candidacy soon enough, or else he would not be behind bars right now. After all, at one time he was the Democrats’ favorite candidate.
Zuckerberg has restricted the NY Post’s farcebook page from reporting it.

I have read through all this stuff, now, how many of you are prepared to kill your enemies? How many? As usual the answer is no one, we prefer be government chattel.
Biden is getting ready to campaign at an old folks home.
Someone has altered “Biden for President” to read “Biden for Resident.”
(This story may be slightly untrue.)
Good one Don B
Hmmm. Just happened to turn up on an errant laptop. I desperately want this to be true, but they should be careful.
