We now know the Justice Department was involved in suppressing stories on President Biden’s influence selling scandal before the election. The Justice Department concocted the story for 50 “intelligence” agents saying Hunter’s computer was likely hacked by the Russians. Twitter feeds, CBS, The New York Times and cyber investigators show that the information on Hunter Biden’s computer and documents turned over to the FBI by Tony Bobulinski, the CEO of Biden’s holding company, are likely true.
Biden’s influence peddling company has the earmarks of a possible “front" for Joe Biden to receive “bribes” for himself and his family. Would a Ukrainian oil oligarch pay Hunter Biden $3 million for nothing? Joe Bidden obviously lied about not talking to Hunter about this when pictures surfaced showing Joe, Hunter and the Oligarch golfing. The $3 million given to Hunter paid off the Oligarch when Joe Biden withheld U.S. foreign aid until a certain Ukrainian prosecutor was fired for threatening the Oligarch paying the $3 million to Hunter.
But this was just an opener for Hunter Biden’s “business deals” in China that totaled at least $5.8 billion, according to the Washington Post.
We need, and will likely have, a Congressional investigation to determine whether Joe Biden illegally received bribes, which is an impeachable offenses under the Constitution. Congress needs to interview Bobulinski about his statement to the FBI that Joe Biden got 10% of all the deals and when.
Republicans have a majority in the House, and they may now proceed with hearings into a variety of issues. I hope they don’t… I hope they get to the business of closing the border, reining in inflation, and reducing crime. Yes, there are plenty of folks who should have to answer to a House inquiry… Mayorkas, Fauci, and Hunter. My advice to Republicans… pick one.
I agree. The circumstances surrounding Hunter’s laptop deserve further scrutiny, and Elon’s release of information about social media participating in the suppression of the laptop story underscores the need for such scrutiny.
We’ll see where this goes.
Tony Bobulinski? I have some thoughts on his "revelations" and will share them in a different post.
I have backed off the Hunter laptop issue a little over the past six months because I don't really have a lot of confidence in information provided by Tony Bobulinski. Everything he says may be true, but it's possible… possible… he has been untruthful about his service in the Navy. His story is kinda murky.
It appears he completed Navy Officer Candidate School in Newport, RI... but how did he get assigned to a command that trains officers for submarine service? Newly commissioned junior officers are not ordinarily assigned to such positions. I'm guessing he may have not satisfactorily completed a training curriculum that would have led to a warfare specialist designation. When a newly commissioned junior officer does not move forward with his or her training, they can be assigned to an entry level staff position. That could be an assignment to a training command school. We don't know for sure why he was at a submarine training school as he does not appear to have a nuclear engineering academic background. He has been described as an instructor at the school, but he could have been the guy handing out tests to students then feeding the answer sheets into a Scantron machine. That would support Tony's claim he was on the school’s instructing staff. Finally, don't forget... he transitioned from a high-tech job in the Navy to international finance when he completed his Navy service.
Bottom line… even if Tony has mischaracterized his naval service, it doesn't mean he has been untruthful about Hunter's business dealings. However, if there is a reason to doubt Tony's credibility, that can be sorted out if the House moves forward with hearings into the laptop issue next year.
Ray - the Republicans do not have a stellar record on going after folks like Mayorkas and Fauci. I also do not believe the Hunter story resonates much with most Americans as it is perceived as business as usual among the elites. Besides, even if convicted, he would be pardoned by the big guy anyway. Mayorkas and Fauci should be forced to resign in disgrace and lose their pensions. If the House would proceed with impeachment for the HLS Secretary it would become a circus and we would find out that, as with Fauci, there are other forces involved that would expose many whom we had trusted. I don't see that going anywhere and I would hope that the House spends time on issues as you delineated.
Agreed... we don't need another circus in DC. However, if Kevin McCarthy moves forward with hearings into Hunter's laptop... keep it professional and keep it clean.. and keep it short. We don't need another Schiff Show.
Ed - thank you for yet another attempt to bring these Biden scandals to our attention. You may notice that the main stream media continues to totally suppress this potential national security issue. Thanks to Elon Musk for disgorging the implicated emails that were sent back and forth to Twitter and Biden's (our!) national security organizations. But, as one respondent last week maintained, 'this is all made up.' I have never experienced such blatant ignorance surrounding these issues that is perpetrated by the media. Not a peep in the SF Chronicle for instance, but a pages-long article about Twitter's surplus furniture auction. It is almost criminal how information is kept from the population, all under the veil of the much abused First Amendment.
Well written, Mr. Kahl. The wheels are continuing to come off on the Biden crime family. Let’s hope Mr. Bobulinski is given protection from manmade hazards to his health so that he can be interviewed, subpoenaed, and/or deposed…
So, here we go again. Ed Kahl continues to spread unfounded lies, misinformation, and made up stories, without any evidence as usual, and all you right-wingers eat it up. Gentleman, may I remind you that repeating lies, misinformation and made up stories, does not make it true. Also, gentlemen, what's posted on social media is considered 'hearsay' and not evidence. As for the source Mr. Bobulinski, he seems to have a problem telling the truth. Show us the 'direct evidence', otherwise, stop spreading lies and unfounded rumors.
You made essentially the same comment in the discussion following Jorg's LTE published on Dec. 7. You included in your comment, "We have a thing in this country that says 'innocent until proven guilty'..."
Concerning your statement, "We have a thing in this country that says, 'innocent until proven guilty'..." I posted, “If so, how does your education in law and experience in law enforcement explain Democratic Party officials and the MSM setting that presumption aside with respect to their claims of Russian collusion? The House Intelligence Committee chair claimed to have evidence supporting collusion... we never saw it. It looks like social media and the press suppressed information that could have jeopardized Joe Biden's chances of being elected. Is purposefully keeping negative candidate information from American voters enough of a scandal? That negative information was portrayed as Russian disinformation... it wasn't and journalists are now acknowledging that deception."
Here we go again… you didn’t respond last week. Care to comment now?
Yes Mike O. - only right wingers eat it up. Where we you when Schiff and company doused us daily with outright lies and deception? It appears that you are a contributor to the news readers at MSNBC and the superbly biased SF Chronicle. But, being ignorant is better than taking sleeping pills, isn't it?
So, here we go again. Mike O. doesn’t offer any “direct evidence” to the contrary of Mr. Kahl’s assertions yet says that someone he doesn’t agree with spreads unfounded lies, misinformation, and made up stories. Of course, it’s okay when, because Mike O. agrees with it, he can repeat lies, misinformation and made up stories without “direct evidence.” BTW, there is plenty of direct evidence to debunk the Russian Collusion delusion and so-called “insurrection” narratives – Mike O. just needs to accept the truth.
The CEO of the Bidens' influence selling company turned over all the documents of that company to the FBI and along with Hunters lap top there is overwhelming evidence that you say doesn't exist. This evidence will be used in a Congressional investigation, of the Bidens for all to see.
The New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, etc. all say that Hunter’s lap top was not tampered with and newly released Twitter feeds adds to the weight of evidence against the Bidens.
