Democrat vice presidential candidate Joe Biden flat-out lied when he said he never spoke to son Hunter Biden about the latter’s shady business dealings in Ukraine.
An e-mail pulled from a laptop computer shows that Hunter Biden introduced a Ukrainian businessman to his father in 2015. That businessman was Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to Burisma Holdings, the gas company that employed Hunter Biden and ensnared the Biden boys in a major influence-peddling scandal.
A second e-mail shows that Pozharskyi asked Biden to use his influence to help the company, the target of a corruption probe by Ukraine’s top prosecutor.
Here’s the problem for Injun’ Joe: He forced Ukraine to fire that prosecutor, and has repeatedly claimed his actions had nothing to do with his son’s job with the company
Thanks for the Meeting
“Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company,” the New York Post reported:
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.
Continued Pozharskyi:
It’s really an honor and pleasure. As we spoke yesterday evening, would be great to meet today for coffee. What do you think? I could come to you [sic] office somewhere around noon or so, before or on my way to airport.
Yet Joe Biden, who forced Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin or face losing $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, has claimed he was clueless.
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said last year as the influence peddling scandal grew out of control.
The e-mail is evidence that Biden indeed spoke to his son about his dealings.
Those dealings included a lucrative job with Burisma despite Hunter Biden’s manifest inexperience and past as a drug addict kicked out of the Navy.
As critic Peter Schweizer has observed, Burisma hired Biden’s son for one reason: His old man was the vice president. And, serendipitously, Biden senior ran the Obama’s administration Ukraine policy.
Biden openly bragged about telling Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire Shokin — or else:
“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’”
“Well, son of a b***h, he got fired.
A second email, dated May 12, 2014, provides more evidence that the Bidens were up to no good.
Pozharskyi flatly asked Hunter Biden to use his “influence” to help Burisma. Urkainian authorities, he complained, were trying to squeeze money from Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky
“We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions,” Pozharskyi wrote.
Replied Hunter Biden, “who is ultimately behind these attacks on the company? Who in the current interim government could put an end to such attacks?”
The exchange came the same day that Burisma announced it had expanded its board of directors by adding Hunter Biden, who was put in charge of its “legal unit and will provide support for the Company among international organizations,” according to a news release that’s since been scrubbed from Burisma’s Web site.
Hunter Biden actually joined the board in April 2014, according to multiple reports.
The Computer
The e-mails were stored on a damaged MacBook Pro that landed at a repair shop. It also contained “a raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.”
The computer’s owner never returned for it, the Post reported:
The shop owner couldn’t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden, but said the laptop bore a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, named after Hunter’s late brother and former Delaware attorney general.
Photos of a Delaware federal court subpoena given to The Post show that both the computer and hard drive were seized by the FBI in December, after the shop’s owner says he alerted the feds to their existence.
The store owner, though, copied the hard drive and gave it to Robert Costello, an attorney for Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani gave the incriminating material to the Post.
Democrats used President Trump’s effort to expose Biden-Burisma as an excuse to impeach him.
