We always try to give credit where credit is due. Therefore, we often give credit to the Democratic Party for their aggressive and concerted messaging. They assimilate a powerful script, dole out the talking points to the appropriate parties, and preach the point of view over and again.
They are masterful at making the Republican Party and the current president play defense again and again. Trump is offensive, but it’s hard to be on offense when you are always playing defense.
The Russian collusion narrative played to an interested national audience for two years. But, it’s ending disappointed many. And now, suddenly, two weeks before the national elections it looks like the script may have flipped.
Lo and behold, it looks like the Hunter is now being hunted. The Hunter is Hunter Biden. And, the bombshell revelations being gleaned from his abandoned laptop hard drive is only act one. Email after email being released, and many more are to come this week, seem to have untidily linked his Ukrainian Burisma Board of Directors lofty position as well as his position with the Chinese company as nothing more than a pay for government influence storefront.
One even alludes to holding 10% of the payment for “the big guy.” The big guy is all but identified as one former VP of the US, Joe Biden. “Biden” or “Buyden” some are asking on Twitter, but we digress.
Some that are also asking are John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence, Rudy Guliani, a Trump advisor and personal attorney, and this AM also Senator Ron Johnson. Johnson is actually asking for the FBI to release the file on this that they supposedly have had and held on to quietly since November of 2019 a full two months prior to the House impeaching Trump on, of all things, collusion claims. Ironic somewhat?
What does the Biden family have to say about this? So far Joe Biden has 1) called it a smear campaign, then 2) walked off mid-question from the reporter last evening who attempted to ask about it. Late last night he pulled the shade down on his campaign till Thursday calling a “lid” till then. Hunter apparently is down in some basement, like father like son, somewhere we presume. Wouldn’t he come forward and vigorously defend his father? Shouldn’t he?
The Biden camp has said some of the emails and conversations held might be accurate. They further hinted that Joe might have met in an informal manner with some foreign officials embroiled in this. Where there is smoke there is at a minimum more smoke. Fire? Hmmm.
What did the New York Times say in its Sunday edition about the story that its rival the New York Post broke? Ever the environmentally friendly organization, they spared the trees as not one syllable was typeset on any of its pages.
Facebook and Twitter have severely limited the story’s spread citing “hacked” information, or “unverified” political attacks as the reason. Adam Schiff went on a Sunday talk show and said with a straight face, “this story is more evidence of the Russian influence in our election.”
Presumably, Biden is using the downtime rehearsing all of his lines and talking points for Thursday night’s final Presidential Debate. He better have a few good ones for this exploding story. Surely this will be front and center then? Or does he need them?
Kristen Welker, the lone moderator for the debate has deep Democratic Party ties. Welker comes from an established Democratic family who has poured cash into party coffers, and to Trump opponents, for years. In March 2016 Welker was busted on live television tipping off Hillary Clinton’s Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri about at least one question she planned to ask her during a post-debate interview in Michigan.
Could the VP of the US have directly profited by his position as the liaison for China and Ukraine under Obama with a big assist from his son?
Do you believe that there was a second gunman behind the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza when Kennedy was shot?
How smarmy is the swamp?
How deep is the deep state?
