As news breaks of the seven indictments of former President Trump for alleged improper handling of classified documents, serious questions still remain regarding the Biden family and their improper links to Ukraine. Specifically in question is an alleged $5 million in bribes that flowed from Ukrainian sources to Joe and Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden’s ‘Laptop From Hell’
Special counsel for the Biden probe Robert Hurr has some serious links to look into between Ukrainian money and the Biden family. Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,” as Trump calls it, didn’t just contain XXX-rated photos of adult encounters and drug use. It also contained emails indicating potential criminal activity and bribery.
In particular, one 2014 email from Hunter to his business partner Devon Archer refers to an upcoming trip to Ukraine by his father, then-VP Joe Biden.
The lengthy and detailed email expands on 22 aspects of Ukraine’s political situation at the time and experts have claimed it may have been drawn from classified intelligence briefings, including classified documents kept by Joe Biden in his Delaware garage.
As Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has noted, this lengthy email was sent “when Devon Archer and Hunter Biden were trying to get on the board of [Ukrainian energy company] Burisma and get their $3, $4 million worth of payday trying to prove their worth.”
What About the $5 Million, Joe?
Joe Biden laughed when asked about the allegation that he took $5 million from Burisma and a promise of a seat on the board for Hunter in return for making decisions as VP that helped Burisma. He says it is “a bunch of malarkey.”
Biden says there is no evidence trail or money and thus no proof of any wrongdoing, but the House Oversight Committee does seem to be getting closer to revealing damning evidence of various foreign money trails making their way into the coffers of Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Joe’s brother James Biden.
These allegations are also lent gravity by sworn FBI testimony in front of Committee chairman Congressman James Comer that revealed that a trusted, longtime FBI informant said Ukrainian oligarch and Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky paid out $5 million each to both Hunter and Joe.
Add in the claims of a team of IRS whistleblowers removed from the wider case involving Hunter Biden and alleged tax fraud and foreign monetary sources and you get some really troubling possibilities.
Weighing the Evidence
The second of two impeachments against former President Trump in 2021 revolved around his alleged withholding of aid to Ukraine in return for access to dirt on President Biden. Trump’s infamous “perfect” phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky was in the media spotlight for a few weeks, despite Trump’s post-office impeachment being purely symbolic.
The evidence against Biden at this point is much stronger and it’s clear that, if true, it could amount to an international pay-for-play scheme potentially putting American national security at risk. Hurr needs to fully investigate every paper trail here and get to the bottom of what was really going on with Biden if the Democrats think they’ll ever be seen as even-handed in their various campaigns against Trump.
