Buwudabout Hunter?

It's only been four days, and the digital bin is chuck full already. At Da Wire, Ron Klain says Joe Biden Is ‘Confident’ Hunter Didn’t Break The Law, Family ‘Did The Right Thing’ In Business Deals. As the WaEx notes Biden once denied knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings; now, he's certain they were not illegal. Jonathon Turley details how, Biden’s ‘absolute’ defense of Hunter leaves media and Justice Department in a muddle.

According to emails from Hunter’s laptop, Hunter paid Joe Biden’s phone bill and various expenses while Joe Biden served as vice president, the New York Post reported:

[W]hile Joe was vice president, Hunter routinely paid at least some of his father’s household expenses, including AT&T bills of around $190 a month.

We know from an e-mail on June 5, 2010, with the subject “JRB bills” to Hunter from Eric Schwerin, his business partner at Rosemont Seneca, that he was expected to foot hefty bills to Wilmington contractors for maintenance and upkeep of his father’s palatial lakefront property. Joe’s initials are JRB, for Joseph Robinette Biden.

The bills that June included $2,600 to contractor Earle Downing for a “stone retaining wall” at Joe’s Wilmington estate, $1,475 to painter Ronald Peacock to paint the “back wall and columns” of the house, and $1,239 to builder Mike Christopher for repairs to the air conditioning at the cottage of Joe’s late mother, Jean “Mom-Mom” Biden, which was on his property and which he would later rent to the Secret Service for $2,200 a month.

Hunter allegedly paid these bills while Joe Biden was making $250,000 per year as vice president. Joe Biden has denied knowledge or involvement in the Biden Family’s business scheme. But additional Scherwin emails to Hunter suggest Joe Biden knew of the Biden family business scheme and wanted his bills covered by the agreement.

"The WaPo and Times are still doing their best to suppress much of the story, even as they admit (begrudgingly, indirectly and with nary a hint of an apology to the folks who broke it all 18 months ago) that the laptop was real all along," the board wrote. "The most charitable explanation we can imagine is that they fear for the nation if Kamala Harris becomes president, because the Times is still finding plenty of news mysteriously unfit for print while DC’s Post keeps many of the facts in darkness."
