thelibertydaily--2020-10-19--Daily Mail Bombshell Reveals More Biden Crime Family Sleaze

Hunter Biden is a 50-year-old American lawyer whose elderly father Joe hopes in just over a fortnight to unseat Donald Trump at the U.S. Presidential election .
He 's also a twice-married father of five kids ( one via a fleeting affair with a former stripper ) who has struggled with cocaine and alcohol addiction for most of his adult life and in 2014 , when his dad was Barack Obama 's Vice President , managed to get booted out of the U.S .
Naval Reserve for failing a drug test .
This week saw a vintage 'October surprise ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Hunter variously : lying in bed smoking a crack pipe ; reclining in the bath with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth ; and starring in a 12-minute mobile phone video that , in the newspaper 's words , saw him hoofing class A narcotics 'while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman ' .
Most sensationally — if you believe the Trump camp , that is — it also published leaked emails that appear to implicate Joe in long-standing controversy over his son 's rackety business career .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ know that Biden Jr has for years been criticised for his lucrative but ethically questionable work overseas , which has often created apparent conflicts of interest with Joe 's official roles .
For example , in 2014 , when Joe , as Vice President , was helping to implement U.S. policy in Ukraine , Hunter took a highly-paid job with a Ukranian energy company called Burisma ( of which more later ) .
Around the same time , he built murky and contentious connections with Russia , helping his investment advisory firm Rosemont @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billionaire widow of former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhov ( best known on these shores for once donating £138,000 to Sadiq Khan 's Mayor 's Fund for London ) .
Then there was a somewhat dubious episode in China , where Hunter arranged for an entrepreneur called Jonathan Li , with whom he was setting up an investment fund , to hold a meeting ( and enjoy a very public handshake ) with Joe in a Beijing hotel lobby during an official visit .
Such ventures , in regions of the world hardly known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distinctly whiffy .
So what , then , ought we to make of the revelation that , when his father was Vice President , Biden Jr was doing business in a fourth cash-soaked but highly corrupt country ?
The Mail can reveal that between 2012 and 2014 , Hunter worked as a sort of go-between for Kenes Rakishev , a self-styled 'international businessman , investor and entrepreneur ' with close family connections to the kleptocratic regime of his homeland 's despotic former president Nursultan Nazarbayev .
Emails passed to this newspaper via anti-corruption @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Biden Jr held extensive meetings with Rakishev , who was looking to invest a portion of his personal fortune in New York and Washington DC .
He also travelled to the Kazakh capital of Astana to hold business discussions .
Hunter Biden then attempted to persuade Rakishev to buy into a Nevadan mining company , brokering a series of meetings with the firm , before convincing him to invest a cool million dollars with Alexandra Forbes Kerry , the film-maker daughter of Democrat Senator and former Presidential candidate John Kerry .
Rakishev @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , appears to have become intimate with the Vice President 's son , calling Hunter 'my brother ! '
and 'my brother from another mother ! '
.
They shared gossip about their family holidays and dined together at luxury restaurants in New York and Washington DC ( ' I 'm on vacation with family [ at ] Lake Michigan .
.
.
trying to spend some much needed time with my wife and daughters .
It 's my 20th anniversary of marriage tomorrow , ' Hunter told Rakishev in July 2013 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden himself was dragged into the oligarch 's orbit .
An unverified photograph , published on the website of an anti-corruption group called the Kazakhstani Initiative on Asset Recovery , appears to show Hunter introducing his Dad to both Rakishev and one Karim Massimov , the former Kazakh Prime Minister .
So who exactly is Rakishev ?
In the UK , he is perhaps best known due to a bizarre 2008 episode when he 'd helped a fellow oligarch chum called Timur Kulibayev use a firm registered in the British Virgin Islands buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! )
Prince Andrew : his Windsor mansion Sunninghill Park , which oddly went for £15 million , some £3 million over the asking price .
Coverage of the episode had noted that Kulibayev was the son-in-law of the aforementioned despot Nazarbayev , who ruled Kazakhstan for more than two decades , turning it into one of the world 's most corrupt kleptocracies .
Rakishev , for his part , is married to the daughter of a former mayor of the country 's capital city ( recently re-named 'Nursultan , ' after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as its Defence Minister and Deputy Prime Minister .
All in all it was an intriguing nexus .
Fast forward to 2012 and Rakishev had just joined Forbes magazine 's top-15 list of Kazakhstan 's 'most influential ' tycoons , with estimated assets of some $ 332 million .
Like many an oligarch in possession of a huge fortune , Rakishev was now looking for a safe place to park it , so had come to America in search of new places to invest his hard-earned roubles .
Sadly , things had n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ highly-regulated world of Western capitalism , Rakishev discovered that blue-chip investment partners were often reluctant to take his cash .
To blame ?
The fact that no one was entirely sure where his wealth actually came from .
For example , the leaked emails obtained by the Mail show that the International Finance Corporation , a highly respectable sister organisation of the World Bank , held preliminary talks with Rakishev about a business collaboration , before deciding to pull out .
I can reveal that the IFC then politely informed the oligarch that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' because its 'very deep due diligence processes ' had established that he had some 'connections ' involving the 'president 's family ' that 'are a liability to us . '
Seemingly outraged , Rakishev responded that he would ensure that the organisation 'never works in Kazakhstan with anyone . '
The United States Department of Justice then took an interest in Rakishev .
It soon dragged him into an investigation of potential breaches the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act related to 'an investment in the oil and gas industry in Kazakhstan ' .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and no charges were ever filed , in September 2013 he decided to hire a notoriously expensive U.S. law firm called Greenberg Traurig to deal with incoming fire related to the probe .
It seems that two attorneys who led a team working the Kazakh 's case , John Pappalardo and Stanford Saunders , charged him in the region of $ 1,000 and $ 700 per hour respectively .
It was , doubtless , a very annoying ( and expensive ) business ; not to mention highly frustrating for a man who had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way .
Which is perhaps what persuaded him to take meetings with Hunter Biden , a member of one of America 's most powerful political dynasties .
In May 2012 , he was emailed by Hunter 's business partner Devon Archer , a lawyer and former Abercrombie & Fitch model .
'Can you have dinner with me , Hunter Biden , Alex [ Forbes Kerry ] and team on Wednesday next week in NYC ?
I want to let Hunter know when he should come up from DC to see you on Wednesday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Rakishev replied : 'Hi Devon !
I would be happy to have a dinner with you and all our friends !
Thank you very much for invitations !
Take care my brother ! '
By July , Hunter had travelled to Astana to discuss business opportunities . '
I wanted to check in with you and see what our next steps are to follow up on our visit to Kazakhstan , ' he wrote in an email to Rakishev sent shortly afterwards .
'Let me know if you need anything from me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was helping Rakishev hold discussions about investing in Prospect Global Resources , a potash mining firm based in eastern Arizona .
Although the emails the Mail has seen show that the talks eventually broke down , he remained on friendly terms : ' I wanted to reach back out to you and continue our conversations , ' Hunter wrote to Kulibayev on November 25 , 2012 . '
I understand you and Timur evaluated PGRX but it was not a good fit at this time .
Thank you for taking a look at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well .
Let me know when you 'd like to connect . '
The duo remained in close contact throughout the following year , discussing a range of business ventures .
Then , in late October 2013 , Biden 's partner Archer arranged a conference call between Rakishev and the aforementioned Alex Forbes Kerry , who was by then attempting to raise cash to launch a film production firm .
Immediately after the call that December , Rakishev emailed with happy news : 'Thank you my brother from another mother !
Thanks you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to invest 1 mln [ million ] !
Give them my email ! '
Ms Forbes Kerry , who has never publicly acknowledged her debt to Rakishev , finalised the deal in January 2014 .
The following month , she and Biden met Rakishev for dinner in Washington DC .
'It was a pleasure to meet you with Devon and Hunter the other day , ' she told him by email afterwards . '
I want to thank you for the beautiful watch !
I am sorry I did n't open it at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was a baby present so I only opened it when I was at home .
It is absolutely beautiful and you are so generous .
.
.
Please come to New York soon and bring your family .
We will host you and your team . '
Rakishev responded that he intended to take up that offer in September .
'Let 's be in touch ! '
he wrote .
Sadly , at the time of this happy exchange , Biden 's marriage was in the process of breaking down .
Things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which his wife Kathleen claimed he had spent 'extravagantly on his own interests ( including drugs , alcohol , prostitutes , strip clubs , and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations ) , while leaving the family with no money to pay legitimate bills . '
In 2017 it was revealed that he was dating Hallie Olivere , the widow of his brother , Beau Biden , a U.S. politician who died from a brain tumour in 2015 .
The pair separated a few months later .
Earlier this year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support by a former stripper called Lunden Alexis Roberts who successfully claimed he was father of her child .
He recently married for a second time to film-maker Melissa Cohen .
By then , Hunter was of course the subject of a spectacular political controversy .
This stemmed from his decision in 2014 to accept a $ 50,000-a-month job on the board of Burisma , a Ukranian gas and oil company .
The role , for which Hunter had no obvious qualifications ( in an industry he 'd never worked in ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe was touring the region as Barack Obama 's Vice President , seeking to shore up support for Ukraine 's government following Russia 's annexation of the Crimea .
Via Joe , the White House was not only lobbying Ukraine to become more energy independent by exporting oil and gas to the West , but also calling for its government to do more to root out corruption .
In particular , the U.S. and its allies were calling for the dismissal of the country 's top prosecutor who was , at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ malfeasance at Burisma .
All of which meant that the Vice President of America appeared to be using his position to endorse policies that would generate huge profits for a company that had suddenly decided to hire his own son as a director .
As The Guardian newspaper at the time put it : 'Putin 's propaganda people can take a long weekend .
Their work is being done for them ! '
This week 's emails leaked to the New York Post suggest that in return for his fat salary , Hunter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a senior Burisma executive called Vadym Pozharskyi 'spend some time together ' with Joe in Washington DC .
It remains unclear whether any such meeting occurred .
Indeed , Biden 's campaign , while not disputing the authenticity of the emails , this week issued a carefully-worded statement insisting that 'no meeting , as alleged by the New York Post , ever took place ' .
Be that as it may , Donald Trump long ago developed something of an obsession with this affair .
Last year , it emerged he 'd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unless the country 's government agreed to investigate Hunter Biden 's links to Burisma .
In Washington , this then triggered an eventually unsuccessful attempt to impeach Trump for misusing presidential powers by allegedly soliciting the interference of a foreign government to aid his re-election .
By way of response , Republicans in the U.S. Senate commissioned a highly critical report into business affairs .
Buried on Page 70 of that 87-page report was the news on April 22 , 2014 — just three months after the $ 1m film production deal was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wired some $ 143,000 to Hunter Biden 's own firm Rosemont Seneca , saying that the cash was 'for a car ' .
The report added that the 'sole shareholder ' of Novatus was one Kenes Rakishev , and says that his receipt of this cash was 'especially concerning ' .
But as we can today reveal , Hunter Biden 's real relationship with the hugely rich oligarch actually runs far deeper than anyone — even Donald Trump — has previously dreamed .

Hunter Biden is a 50-year-old American lawyer whose elderly father Joe hopes in just over a fortnight to unseat Donald Trump at the U.S. Presidential election.
He's also a twice-married father of five kids (one via a fleeting affair with a former stripper) who has struggled with cocaine and alcohol addiction for most of his adult life and in 2014, when his dad was Barack Obama's Vice President, managed to get booted out of the U.S. Naval Reserve for failing a drug test.
This week saw a vintage 'October surprise' when the New York Post obtained footage of Hunter variously: lying in bed smoking a crack pipe; reclining in the bath with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth; and starring in a 12-minute mobile phone video that, in the newspaper's words, saw him hoofing class A narcotics 'while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman'.

thelibertydaily--2020-10-20--The Biden Corruption Scandal Isn’t About Hunter, It’s About Joe

The Hunter Biden scandal indicates that Joe Biden , while vice president of the United States , knowingly allowed his son to sell access to the Obama administration , then lied about it .
Hunter Biden ’ s addiction is not the issue .
Joe Biden ’ s addiction is : His addiction to power and money .
And it is the evidence of the former vice president ’ s corruption , and the national security risk our country would face by electing Biden , that is the story of the MacBook hard drive , not the salacious , verified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For nearly a week , corporate media successfully ignored or downplayed news of the trove of Hunter Biden ’ s emails , texts , photographs , and videos recovered from a laptop abandoned at a Delaware computer repair store .
Then confirmation of the authenticity of the materials first reported in the New York Post , and the release of a second set of emails — also confirmed— from another source finally forced the press to acknowledge the issue .
On Friday evening , CBS News ’ Bo Erickson asked Joe Biden about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat candidate for president departed from a campaign stop in Michigan .
“ I have no response .
It ’ s another smear campaign — right up your alley , those are the questions you always ask , ” Biden snipped at the long-time reporter .
With more details coming out daily , this non-answer will not placate even a compliant press for long .
Nor will the “ Russia disinformation ” narrative pushed by Biden ’ s media boosters suffice because multiple confirmations of the evidence establish this story is not disinformation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Addiction , It ’ s about Joe ’ s So , the dissembling will start , with Biden attempting to make the story about his son ’ s drug addiction .
We already saw this when President Trump hit his opponent during the first presidential debate with the fact that once Biden “ became vice president [ Hunter ] made a fortune in Ukraine , in China , in Moscow and various other places.

The report was not limited to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Burisma board and the Obama-Biden administration ’ s knowledge of that conflict of interest .

Hunter Biden’s addiction is not the issue. Joe Biden’s addiction is: His addiction to power and money. And it is the evidence of the former vice president’s corruption, and the national security risk our country would face by electing Biden, that is the story of the MacBook hard drive, not the salacious, verified photographs and videos of Hunter Biden.
For nearly a week, corporate media successfully ignored or downplayed news of the trove of Hunter Biden’s emails, texts, photographs, and videos recovered from a laptop abandoned at a Delaware computer repair store. Then confirmation of the authenticity of the materials first reported in the New York Post, and the release of a second set of emails — also confirmed— from another source finally forced the press to acknowledge the issue.
On Friday evening, CBS News’ Bo Erickson asked Joe Biden about the New York Post story as the Democrat candidate for president departed from a campaign stop in Michigan. “I have no response. It’s another smear campaign — right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask,” Biden snipped at the long-time reporter.
With more details coming out daily, this non-answer will not placate even a compliant press for long. Nor will the “Russia disinformation” narrative pushed by Biden’s media boosters suffice because multiple confirmations of the evidence establish this story is not disinformation.
It’s Not about Hunter’s Addiction, It’s about Joe’s
So, the dissembling will start, with Biden attempting to make the story about his son’s drug addiction. We already saw this when President Trump hit his opponent during the first presidential debate with the fact that once Biden “became vice president [Hunter] made a fortune in Ukraine, in China, in Moscow and various other places.” Biden’s first response was outright denial: “That is not true.” But that won’t work with the constantly accumulating evidence from the hard drive and the other independent emails.
So Biden’s second tack will likely be his campaign’s official response once they regroup over the weekend: “My son, like a lot of people at home, had a drug problem. He’s overtaking it. He’s fixed it. He’s worked on it. And I’m proud of him, I’m proud of my son,” Biden punched back during the first presidential debate.
Wisely, President Trump ignored the misdirection, replying, “But why was he given tens of millions of dollars?” “Moderator” Chris Wallace rescued Biden by interjecting, “We’ve already been through this. I think the American people would rather hear about more substantial subjects. Well, as the moderator, sir, I’m going to make a judgment call here.”
Senate Report Confirms Corruption
While Hunter Biden’s highly lucrative position on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma has received some press, the media all but ignored the U.S. Senate committee report on “Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns.” This report not only details “examples of extensive and complex financial transactions involving the Bidens, it also describes the quandary other U.S. governmental officials faced as they attempted to guide and support Ukraine’s anticorruption efforts.”
The report’s key findings included concerns raised by “officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board,” and a senior State Department official’s warning to Vice President Biden or his staff “that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine.” The report also confirmed that former Secretary of State John Kerry “had knowledge of Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board,” even though he falsely denied that knowledge during a town hall event in 2019.
The report was not limited to Hunter Biden’s role on the Burisma board and the Obama-Biden administration’s knowledge of that conflict of interest. The Senate committees also detailed Hunter’s receipt of “a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow,” and Hunter’s opening of “a bank account with Gongwen Dong to fund a $100,000 global spending spree with James Biden and Sara Biden,” as well as his “business associations with Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the People’s Liberation Army.”
“Those associations,” the report continued, “resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow,” some of which Hunter “paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an ‘Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.’”
Whistleblower Turns Over Hunter’s Laptop
Then on Saturday, we learned from a letter sent by Sen. Ron Johnson, the chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, to FBI Director Christopher Wray, that the report triggered “a whistleblower” to contact Johnson’s “committee and informed [his] staff that he had possession of a laptop left in his business by Hunter Biden,” clearly the same source as behind the New York Post’s story.
The letter continued: “He also informed us that he provided its contents to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in response to a December 9, 2019 grand jury subpoena.” The FBI refused to confirm any or deny any information sought by the committee, including questions unrelated to ongoing grand jury investigations. Johnson stressed the importance of the FBI responding to the committee’s inquiry: “I have a responsibility to validate and verify the contents of any information produced to my committee. The committee must know if it receives information that could be fraudulent or not accurate.”
“For example,” Johnson’s letter continued, “if any information offered to the committee was linked to a foreign adversary’s attempt to interfere in the election, I would expect the FBI to ensure the committee is protected and receives a defensive briefing.” Additionally, as Johnson noted, “knowingly providing false information to Congress is a crime.” Johnson then listed a litany of questions concerning the laptop and the FBI’s efforts to verify the authenticity of the material, asking for an answer by Oct. 22, 2020.
It seems unlikely the FBI will respond to the inquiry, or at least not publicly, but to date, several outlets are claiming they confirmed the validity of the emails and other material on the hard drive, and the personal texts and photographs and videos released leave little doubt that the hard drive truly was Hunter Biden’s.
This Is about Joe Biden, Not Hunter
That is the extent of the relevance of the personal information being released: The public does not need to know of the unsavory and illegal behavior Hunter engaged in—much less watch it—while he was in the throes of addiction. America also does not need to read the words of anguish exchanged between an addict son undergoing rehab and his famous father.
Yet Hunter Biden’s addiction, and the fact that tens of thousands of other Americans suffer similar demons, does not atone for the sins of the father. And that is what the email and text scandal concerns: Evidence that Joe Biden, while vice president of the United States, knowingly allowed his son to profit by selling access to Biden and others in the Obama administration, including to Communist Party of China leaders, and then lied about it.
The emails and texts Joe personally received also suggest a cut from Hunter’s influence-peddling. For instance, one email published by the New York Post detailed a deal Hunter Biden pursued with China’s largest private energy company that was “interesting for me and my family.”
A May 13, 2017 email with the subject line “Expectations” listed expected “renumeration packages” for various individuals, including “‘H,’ apparently referring to Biden.” The Post noted that “the deal also listed ‘10 Jim’ and ‘10 held by H for the big guy?’” but did not identify the “big guy.” However, sources have told Fox News “‘the big guy’ is a reference to the former vice president.”
A text recovered from the hard drive also suggests the former vice president may have received a cut of Hunter’s “earnings.” “I Hope you all cal do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro 30 years,” a screenshot of a text from January 2019 to Hunter’s daughter read. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
This Compromising Material Is a National Security Risk
Evidence of this scandal is too strong to ignore or to allow Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, or corporate media to cast aside as an unseemly attack on a recovering drug addict, and not merely because of the corruption at issue. Every country, every foreign politician or political faction, and every corrupt oligarch or business that paid for access has the emails, notes, receipts, itineraries, fund transfers, and maybe even photographs or recordings. And that makes Joe Biden a national security risk.
Remember, it was Acting Attorney General Sally Yates’ concern that then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was a national security risk that sent her to the White House to get him fired. The Russians would know, she maintained, that Flynn had misrepresented to Vice President Mike Pence his conversations with the Russian ambassador, and that would leave Flynn compromised. Of course, that theory was so preposterous that even disgraced former FBI Director James Comey called it a stretch.
But there is a world of difference between a conversation among a transition team member and a foreign ambassador and a conversation between individuals with foreign interests and the former vice president, bought and paid for with cash funneled through his son. A compromise of that kind holds serious national security issues, which is why our country needs a full vetting of this evidence.
If the emails and texts are fake, we need to know that. But all indications to date are that they are real, and spectacularly damning. And that has nothing to do with Hunter Biden’s addiction, and everything to do with Joe Biden’s unfitness for office.

Handy served time in a federal prison after she plead guilty to charges of @ @ @ @ @ report noted .

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

A narrative has been formed by Democrats , particularly Adam Schiff , that the bombshell Hunter Biden emails reported on by the NY Post and others last week are part of some Russian election interference ploy .
Most in mainstream media have echoed this sentiment as propaganda to try to discredit the multitude of reports coming out about this .
They ’ ve even gone so far as to quote anonymous sources within the intelligence community as believing this to be the case .
But the one man in America who would know if the intelligence community believes this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ National Intelligence John Ratcliffe .
On with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo , Ratcliffe not only denied the narrative but essentially said anyone echoing the narrative was lying .
That included a direct shot at Schiff himself .
“ Let me be clear , ” he said .
“ The intelligence community doesn ’ t believe that because there ’ s no intelligence that supports that .
And we have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden ’ s laptop is part of some Russian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not true .
The emails in question point to corruption in which Hunter Biden leveraged his father ’ s influence , who was Vice President of the United States at the time , to help him get better compensation with Ukrainian energy company Burisma .
Following the initial report , more stories started coming out from Rudy Giuliani , Steve Bannon , and a host of other Trump supporters who have access to a growing load of connections being found in the emails .
There are no indications whatsoever that these emails are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I said I would stop when I became the Director of National Intelligence , and that ’ s people using the intelligence community to leverage some political narrative , ” Ratcliffe said .
“ And in this case , apparently Chairman Schiff wants anything against his preferred political candidate to be deemed as not real and is using the intelligence community , or attempting to use the intelligence community , to say ‘ there ’ s nothing to see here . '
” Ratcliffe has been accused of politicizing his office ever since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks that have put added scrutiny on those involved with the original Russia hoax .
But he said today what he ’ s been saying for two weeks , that the intelligence community is acting on the best interests of the American people without being influenced by politics .
“ Don ’ t drag the intelligence community into this , ” he said .
“ Hunter Biden ’ s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign and I think it ’ s clear that the American people know that.
” Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will do everything they can to make the Joe and Hunter Biden stories stop .
They ’ ll even tell bald-faced lies if necessary , but John Ratcliffe is debunking those lies in real time .

It's almost like Adam Schiff, the Dems & the media are all repeating false propaganda about "Russian disinfo" w/ ZERO EVIDENCE, to hide Joe Biden's corruption from the American people. “Hunter Biden’s laptop is NOT part of some Russian disinformation campaign.” – @DNI_Ratcliffe pic.twitter.com/BTuDo5uQC9 — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 19, 2020

“Don’t drag the intelligence community into this,” he said. “Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign and I think it’s clear that the American people know that.”
Democrats, mainstream media, and Big Tech will do everything they can to make the Joe and Hunter Biden stories stop. They’ll even tell bald-faced lies if necessary, but John Ratcliffe is debunking those lies in real time.

America was blessed by God from its inception. Great men of God, irrespective of their imperfections, were used by Him to create a nation and system of government that virtually became the envy of civilization overnight.
A constitutional republic, free-market capitalism and the determination to right its imperfections made America the only nation of her kind and propelled us to become the greatest nation since the kingdom ruled by Solomon.
Socialism, on the other hand, has an unabridged and uninterrupted record of failure from its inception regardless of whether one credits Karl Marx, Auguste Comte or Friedrich Engels with its creation. Socialism can point to nowhere on earth or in history where it has worked even marginally.
Socialism is the creation of deeply flawed, God-hating men fixated upon building a societal construct based on government edict and dependence upon the State. For those who disagree, I demand they show me where socialism has worked in the whole of its history. Our Founding Fathers, despite what Hegelian revisionists would try to convince us, were brilliant beyond their years and were led by God in the creation of the United States of America. If socialism were even remotely a viable construct, the founders would have at the very least introduced some portion of same into the form of government they created.
