For years, Hunter Biden and his associates have denied that the “big guy” mentioned in an email about one of the first son’s shady deals was Joe Biden, yet now Hunter’s admitted it in a congressional deposition — amid whining and crying about the political persecution he’s experiencing.
Yes, he’s tried to wave it away, claiming that the email from business partner James Gilliar proposing a 10% stake for Joe was merely a “pie-in-the-sky idea.”
Yes, he’s offered the lame defense that if only he had known, “I would have picked up the phone and said, ‘You’re out of your mind.’”
But he’s admitted it.
And all the obfuscation and furious denial have gone up in smoke.
Remember when Joe barked, “Why do you ask such a dumb question?” at a Post reporter who dared to raise the issue?
Not so dumb now, is it, big guy?
Hunter’s claims that his father wasn’t involved in his business were already long in tatters thanks to serial revelations that Joe regularly popped into meetings and onto phone calls with Hunter and prospective associates, who often ended up giving Hunter enormous amounts of money.
Like Vadim Pozharskyi, an executive at Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, which started paying Hunter a million dollars a year in 2014. Or Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who may have handed a Hunter-owned company $3.5 million (no one knows for what) a mere 10 days after Joe showed up at a dinner.
These Hunter also tries to blow off: “I believe that he probably had a Coca-Cola and a bowl of spaghetti.”
Hmmm. If it was so innocent, why did Joe’s campaign pretend it never happened?
It’s almost as pathetic as his attempt to pretend the now-infamous $5.1 million shakedown text — “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled” — he sent to state-linked Chinese energy firm CEFC was a mere peccadillo due to his being “high or drunk.”
CEFC still came through with the cash. What a coincidence!
Now, to be clear: Hunter & Co. know the laptop damns them.
It’s why he, his dad and their lackeys spent years pretending that Hunter’s laptop wasn’t his.
And pathetic serial liar Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) is still pretending Joe never met with Hunter’s biz buds.
The evidence is beyond clear (despite the Biden Mafia’s attempt to muddy the waters with their LLC cash laundry).
All Hunter has left in defense are these obvious, desperate lies.
