Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Biden’s past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of Donald Trump’s attack lines in the U.S. presidential election.
Putin was responding to comments made by Trump during televised debates with Democratic challenger Joe Biden ahead of the Nov. 3 election. . .
Putin appeared less friendly towards Trump in remarks broadcast by Russian state TV on Sunday. In what may be seen by some analysts as an attempt to try to curry favour with the Biden camp, he took the time to knock down what he made clear he regarded as false allegations from Trump about the Bidens.
“Yes, in Ukraine he (Hunter Biden) had or maybe still has a business, I don’t know. It doesn’t concern us. It concerns the Americans and the Ukrainians,” said Putin.
“But well yes he had at least one company, which he practically headed up, and judging from everything he made good money. I don’t see anything criminal about this, at least we don’t know anything about this (being criminal).” (Read more from “Putin Colludes With Biden, Says He’s Done Nothing Wrong” HERE)
By Townhall. Hunter Biden’s emails reveal that Hunter Biden allegedly worked with his father to secure presidential appointments in the Obama administration for his business partner and other family members.
The National Pulse reports that Hunter Biden’s emails show Hunter worked with his father’s chief of staff to secure presidential appointments for Eric Schwerin, Hunter’s business partner in a Chinese Communist Party-linked firm. The same Schwerin also frantically emailed Hunter Biden for help taking down a photograph of Joe Biden that ended up on Burisma’s website.
After news broke that Eric Schwerin had been appointed to the President’s Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, Hunter’s cousin asked Hunter if this was “our Eric” and for additional help in securing similar appointments for herself and her mother.

Emails Reveal Biden Family Lobbied for ‘Nepotistic’ Presidential Appointments and Received Them
By The National Pulse. After the announcement of Schwerin’s appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, Owens emailed with Hunter to enquire if it was the same person. Or as she put it: “our Eric.”
She followed up by asking how she could secure a position for herself or her mother, Valerie Biden Owens, to which Hunter replied:
“I don’t know how much 2016 and nepotism plays into” the selection process.
Hunter Biden then pledged to consult with Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff Steve Richetti about a potential appointment for his family members.
Roughly one year later, Valerie Owens was nominated by the Obama-Biden administration to be an Alternate Representative of the United States to the 71st Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.

In September 2015, the Obama-Biden administration approved the sale of a strategically sensitive Michigan manufacturer, Henniges Automotive, to a firm connected to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and a Chinese military contractor that was on an American watch list because of its close ties to the People’s Liberation Army. Hunter Biden’s equity fund, backed by the Communist Chinese government, and the Chinese contractor, Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), needed special approval for the deal from the Committee of Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CIFIUS) because Henniges produced technology with potential military use.
AVIC entities have been sanctioned by the United States on five separate occasions since 1993 and the addition to the watch list–a major red flag—occurred less than a year-and-a-half before they co-purchased Henniges with Hunter Biden’s BHR. The fact that CFIUS approved the deal is alarming given that Henniges owns numerous facilities in the United States that are now controlled by a Chinese military front company.
Internal BHR documents show exactly how the Chinese military contractor was able to disguise its ownership via shell corporations and formed a joint-venture with the son of the vice president to facilitate the Chinese takeover of an American dual-use technology supplier. Additional documents suggest that Hunter Biden’s Chinese-backed venture funneled money to an entity controlled by Vanessa Kerry, the daughter of then-Secretary of State John Kerry, just one month before CFIUS approved the takeover. At the time, Secretary Kerry played a lead role on the Obama-Biden CFIUS committee.
When news of the AVIC takeover of Michigan-based manufacturer Henniges Automotive hit the wire, Biden’s associates celebrated, calling the transaction a “proof of concept” for future Chinese acquisitions. “Congratulations!!!! Proof of concept again,” read the subject line of Devon Archer’s email on September 15, 2015. “This is great. Let’s get a letter out to Ambassador Baucus ASAP Archie (an apparent Archer nickname),” Bevan Cooney replied. Cooney is a former Biden associate who is now incarcerated for a separate venture—the tribal bond scheme—involving Biden’s business partners. [Should we explain that “Archie” is Devon Archer?] Cooney has provided investigative journalists Peter Schweizer and Matthew Tyrmand with access to his emails with written authorization.

By Washington Examiner. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden insisted during the final presidential debate on Thursday that his handling of Ukraine policy during the Obama administration was above par. He even went so far as to say that everyone who testified against President Trump during the House’s impeachment hearing approved of his work in Ukraine, despite the fact that his son, Hunter Biden, sat on the board of the top Ukrainian oil company at the time.
This is not true. The State Department raised concerns about Joe Biden’s handling of Ukraine policy back in 2015, when Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent said Hunter Biden’s seat on the Burisma board “looks terrible” for the Obama administration. Kent expanded on this during Trump’s impeachment hearing, noting that he warned the White House “that there was the possibility of a perception of a conflict of interest” when he first heard about Hunter Biden’s business dealings. But when he raised these concerns to Joe Biden’s office, he was told the vice president didn’t have the “bandwidth” to deal with Hunter Biden.

Trump, Biden Clash Over Hunter Biden Business Questions at Final Presidential Debate
By Fox News. President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden clashed over alleged foreign financial entanglements in the final presidential debate on Thursday night.
At one point, Trump told Biden, “You owe an explanation to the American people” about son Hunter Biden’s past business dealings as the former vice president emphatically denied anything “unethical” took place.
The two candidates also clashed over a number of issues, from race relations to minimum wage to climate change and the coronavirus pandemic, all while moderator Kristen Welker proceeded over a largely orderly affair between the bitter rivals.
The Hunter Biden debate exchange followed the recent news reports of past communications between Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and his business partners that have raised questions about what Joe Biden knew about these foreign business dealings. Biden’s campaign has denied involvement or making money off these dealings, but the president pressed his rival over the reports during the debate.
“All of the emails … the horrible emails of the kind of money that you were raking in, you and your family. And Joe, you were vice president when some of this was happening. And it should’ve never happened,” Trump said. “I think you owe an explanation to the American people.” (Read more from “Trump, Biden Clash Over Hunter Biden Business Questions at Final Presidential Debate” HERE)

. . .[Tony Bobulinski is] turning over electronic devices and records of the business dealings he was part of when involved with the Biden family. There have been growing concerns from those who actually care about national security and rooting out corruption, that the former vice president was using the office to enrich his family. He also knew about it. That’s the hook here. Joe Biden has been caught in a lie about not knowing what Hunter was up to regarding these shady deals. In fact, in some cases, Hunter called his father the “chairman” and sought to get personal approval to sign off on certain ventures.
BREAKING: Tony Bobulinski will announce that he will turn his electronic devices and records of business dealings with Hunter and Jim Biden over to the FBI
Bobulinski was the person who confirmed the email regarding a business proposition to a Chinese energy firm was real, where an equity arrangement drafted by Hunter has someone called “big guy” slated to get 10 percent. He said “big guy” is former VP Joe Biden.
The New York Post set off this firestorm when they obtained the emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop. It has been confirmed these communications are real and not part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Hunter dropped off this device at a repair shop in Delaware in April of 2019. He forgot to pick it up. the owner then copied the hard drive, gave one to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, and turned the device over to the FBI. If it’s not a story, then why is the press avoiding it like the plague. Also, Twitter and Facebook moved quickly to censor it, drawing more attention to the story.
The Biden campaign is calling the U.S. Navy Lieutenant and former Hunter Biden business partner a Russian asset.
Tony Bobulinski, a former Hunter Biden associate, provided the documents to the Senate Homeland Security Committee yesterday. He asserted that Hunter & his uncle, James Biden, “aggressively leveraged” their family name to secure foreign business deals. https://t.co/HW2kHCnhAd
"U need to stress to H[unter], does he want to be the reason or factor that blows up his dad's campaign," James Gilliar told Tony Bobulinski about the specter of Hunter's foreign business dealings torpedoing Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign plans. pic.twitter.com/0ZGLvpkxeq

By Michael Goodwin. Now we learn that Biden has secretly been playing footsie with China.
The statement Wednesday night asserting that the former vice president was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese Communist firm is a singular event in a presidential race already overflowing with drama and intrigue.
The dynamite assertion, believable because it aligns with earlier information we know to be true, came in a statement by Tony Bobulinski, who describes himself as a former partner of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Joe’s brother Jim in the China scheme. Bobulinski unloads his bill of accusations in blunt but precise language and detail.
He confirms that he was one of the recipients of the May 13, 2017, e-mail published by The Post eight days ago. That e-mail, from another partner in the group, laid out cash and equity positions and mysteriously included a 10 percent set-aside for “the big guy.”
Sources have said the “big guy” was Joe Biden. In a matter-of-fact manner, Bobulinski states that the “e-mail is genuine” and that the former vice president and the man leading in the 2020 race is indeed “the big guy.” (Read more about this HERE)
__________________________________________________________ Hunter Laptop Front and Center in Money Laundering Probe
By Townhall. Just one day after the FBI and Department of Justice confirmed the laptop left at a computer repair store belonged to Hunter Biden, Fox News confirmed that very laptop was part of an FBI probe into money laundering. It remains unclear whether or not the case is still ongoing and if Hunter Biden was part of the probe.
Fox News obtained documents – authenticated by multiple federal law enforcement officials and two government officials – showing FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson signed off on the “Receipt for Property” form that was filled out for the laptop. The document was signed on Dec. 9, 2019. . .
A government official told Fox that there had to be evidence of a crime or criminal conduct for the FBI to open the case.
Special Agent Wilson was called to testify about the laptop on Dec. 9, 2019, meaning the investigation began before then.
“If a criminal case was opened and subpoenas were issued, that means there is a high likelihood that both the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity,” the official told Fox. (Read more from “Uh Oh: It Looks as Though Hunter’s Laptop Is Part of an Even Bigger Probe” HERE)
GOP Senators Request Hunter Biden’s Secret Service Travel Docs
By New York Post. Two Republican lawmakers leading the congressional probe into Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings have asked the Secret Service to provide more records of his travel while his father was vice president.
In a letter sent to the agency’s director on Wednesday, GOP Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said bombshell Hunter Biden emails revealed by The Post last week “aligned” with the scandal-scarred son’s previous Secret Service travel logs.
”Recent reports have published emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden, some of which include references to Mr. Biden’s travel,” the letter read.
“As the Committees continue to assess the validity of these emails, Committee staff have found that several of the references to Mr. Biden’s travel align with the travel records USSS produced to the Committees,” it went on.
Johnson and Grassley, the respective chairs of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, noted two emails from Hunter Biden’s recovered hard drive matched with logs they obtained earlier this year.

By Washington Examiner. Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax on Tuesday that he sent alleged sexually explicit materials involving underage girls from Hunter Biden to the Delaware State Police.
The text message and photos discussed by Giuliani, a personal lawyer to President Trump and former New York City mayor, appear to have been found in a laptop hard drive that purportedly belonged to the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the Democratic presidential nominee.
“There’s a text message to [Hunter’s] father in which he says the following, and he’s discussing his sister-in-law, who, for quite some time, was his lover,” Giuliani said, setting up the background of the email. “He says, ‘She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate.’ This would be with an unnamed, 14-year-old girl.”
The “sister-in-law” to which Giuliani referred appears to be Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter’s brother Beau whom Hunter reportedly dated for a time until the spring of last year. Giuliani, who went on to read more of the message, added that it was “supported by numerous pictures of underage girls.”
The materials, said to be obtained by Giuliani earlier this month from a computer shop in Delaware, were first reported by the New York Post last week.

FBI in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Purported Laptop, Sources Say
By Fox News. The FBI is in possession of the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails revealing his foreign business dealings, including contacts in Ukraine and China, two senior administration officials told Fox News Tuesday.
The FBI declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice.
Further, Fox News has learned that the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. . .
Meanwhile, another senior federal law enforcement official told Fox News that the emails are “authentic.”
The FBI, in a letter to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who is investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings, as well as the laptop in question, said that the bureau has “nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence.” (Read more from “FBI in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Purported Laptop, Sources Say” HERE)
Here Are Hunter Biden’s Alleged Text Messages Giuliani Just Turned Over to the Delaware State Police
By Townhall. Rudy Giuliani handed over “very, very sensitive” text messages to the Delaware State Police that are allegedly from Hunter Biden to his father, former Vice President Joe Biden. In the text messages, Hunter allegedly accused his sister-in-law and former lover, Hallie Biden, of telling Hunter’s therapist that he was sleeping with a 14-year-old girl.
The alleged text messages said:
She told my therapist I was sexually inappropriate with [name redacted when she says that I face time naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I walk around naked smoking crack talking [redacted] girls on face time. When she was present she said that [redacted] never said anything like that but the bottom line is that she I create and caused a very unsafe environment for the kids. If it stopped there I would let it go but then [redacted] friend [redacted] sober coach.
According to Giuliani, there are “numerous pictures of underage girls” that accompany the text messages. He was “very uncomfortable” with the texts and pictures, which is why he turned them over to the Delaware State Police on Monday, the lawyer explained during a segment on Newsmax. . .
“There’s a memo in here that says that 10 percent of the money that was being racked up, that was $10 million a year, and then 50 percent of the profits, three Chinese communists, one of whom was a Chinese intelligence operative, that 10 percent of that was going to H for the ‘Big Guy.’ So, we’ve identified the ‘Big Guy’ several ways,” Giuliani explained.

By New York Post. Sen. Ted Cruz laced into Twitter boss Jack Dorsey and “big tech billionaires drunk on their own power” Saturday over censorship of The Post’s exposé of the Biden family foreign business dealings.
Dorsey is expected to receive a subpoena and be grilled next Friday by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
GOP leaders are seeking answers for why the company decided to censor new emails published in The Post raising new questions about Joe and Hunter Biden’s relationship with executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
“This is a power grab from big tech billionaires drunk on their own power. That is abuse of monopoly power by big tech,” Cruz told reporters on a press call Saturday. “It appears Twitter is throttling [in a] brazen attempt to manipulate the election outcome and it is continuing as we speak.” (Read more from “GOP Leaders: Twitter Censoring Hunter Biden Exposé Is ‘Election Interference’” HERE)
Trump Says Info Found on Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is the ‘Real Deal’
By New York Post. President Trump on Sunday said the damning information contained in Hunter Biden’s emails about his business dealings in Ukraine — as The Post revealed last week — is the “REAL DEAL” and cannot be denied.
“Hunter Biden’s laptop is a disaster for the entire Biden family, but especially for his father, Joe. It is now a proven fact, and cannot be denied, that all of that info is the REAL DEAL,” the president wrote on Twitter.
“That makes it impossible for ‘50%, or 10%’ Joe, to ever assume the office of the President!” Trump continued.
A little more than an hour later, he credited his “former hometown” tabloid for its reporting.
“Very proud of the @nypost, my former ‘hometown newspaper’. They have said and shown what everyone knows about Sleepy Joe Biden. He is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN!!!” he said. (Read more from “Trump Says Info Found on Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is the ‘Real Deal’” HERE)
By New York Post. Hunter Biden’s emails and texts show not just a politician’s troubled son angling for lucrative overseas business deals — they also reveal a concerned father, a fun-loving friend and a man tortured by the deaths that have devastated his family. . .
A computer camera roll of nearly 25,000 images is loaded with sexually explicit selfies and porn (which The Post is not publishing), but also has snapshots from Biden’s childhood and vacations. . .
Another exchange, from 2018, shows Biden inviting a friend to The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in LA, saying he has a “cabana suite” and is “partying like an idiot ass rock star.” . . .
Biden — who has acknowledged struggling with drug and alcohol problems — also poured his heart out in a lengthy email that he sent to himself in 2015, about three weeks after his brother, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, died of brain cancer.
In the nearly 800-word missive, which is filled with misspellings, Biden recounts going to church as a child with his father and brother on “every Sunday growing up” — as well as the Mass he attended the day after Beau’s death.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told Fox Business on Monday the U.S. intelligence community has no evidence to support the idea that the new stories about Hunter Biden and his alleged emails are part of a Russian disinformation campaign. . .
“I want to start, on the validity of all this because, we have been doing a deep dive into this laptop and e-mails when indicate Hunter Biden was cashing in on his father’s position. Adam Schiff, from the chairman of the Intel Committee out and about on Sunday morning shows saying all this news is just Russian disinformation, and not true,” host Maria Bartiromo said. “You were the director of national intelligence, you see more intelligence than anybody in the country. Other than the president of the United States. So you can tell us what is real and what is fake. Is this Russian disinformation, Director?”
“Let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn’t believe that there is no intelligence that supports that and we have is a shared no intelligence with Chairman assist or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden’s laptop is part of a Russian disinformation campaign. It is simply not true,” said Ratcliffe, who recently served as a House Republican from Texas.
“So, Maria, funny that some of the people that complained the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing intelligence unfortunately in this case, it is Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who as you pointed out Friday said the intelligence community believes that Hunter Biden’s laptop and e-mails on it are part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” he said.

A top Republican senator acknowledged the possibility that the FBI investigated whether there was child pornography on a laptop and hard drive that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden.
Journalist Maria Bartiromo asked Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, about a Business Insider report that described faint handwriting on a subpoena served last year to a Delaware business that was given a water-damaged MacBook Pro to repair but was never retrieved and a hard drive with its contents. The hardware purportedly contained data about foreign business dealings and other matters related to the son of former Vice President Joe Biden.
The subpoena appeared to show the FBI agent who served it was someone named “Joshua Wilson.” There was a Joshua Wilson, according to a Star-Ledger report published last year, who was an FBI agent based in New Jersey who spent nearly five years investigating child pornography, but it remains unclear if this is the same Wilson and what exactly the bureau was investigating.
Bartiromo twice asked Johnson, a lead congressional investigator, if he knows of any connection on her Fox News program, Sunday Morning Futures.
“I think you just made the connection. Again, this is what the FBI, I think, has to come clean about,” the Wisconsin Republican said in his first reply. Johnson was alluding to his letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray about the laptop sent last week.
