Did Biden Backstab Himself?

[WestCanMan]

Remember how this whole time we were all supposed to believe that Hunter didn't just get that $83k/month job in that country where he doesn't speak the language in order to secure help from his father to get Burisma's fat outta the fire? 

Leftard cultists were adamant that Joe Biden's unilateral firing of the prosecutor who had seized the Burisma CEO's assets, and his subsequent appointment of a new prosecutor who let that CEO off the hook, had nothing to do with Hunter's extremely lucrative job.

Well, according to the NYT, Joe Biden's own administration just admitted that Hunter sought the help of the State Department on behalf of Burisma. 

Isn't it weird that Biden would rat himself and his son out like that? Hmmmm. "His own administration said that".... 🤔

Anyways, it appears that the NYT could only subvert the truth for so long, now they feel like they have to get on the right side of history, because their blatant lies for all these years couldn't stand the test of time indefinitely, right?

YAY, the NYT is telling the truth! They're so LEGIT!

Does this just reek to the high heavens or what?

Do any resident leftards have anything to say about this? 🤣

Hunter Biden Sought US Help in Burisma Deal: Report

Quote

President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, reportedly sought assistance from the U.S. government on behalf of a Ukrainian energy company while his father was the vice president, according to a report from The New York Times.

....

"HUGE EARTH-SHATTERING BREAKING NEWS: In 2016 Obama administration officials properly took no action on a request from Hunter Biden to the U.S. embassy in Italy that his father knew absolutely nothing about," wrote George Conway

....

"Now I'm *definitely* not voting for Hunter," Conway continued on X. "And — just to be on the safe side—I'm definitely *also* not voting for Joe Biden even though there is no evidence or suggestion he did anything wrong. I'm just going to have to find another candid—... oh, wait!"

Seems right winger lDIOTS believe that being related to the VP means NO ASSISTANCE from the State Dept can be requested.

Oh MAN this is really gonna hurt Biden's reelection chances....

Does anyone who is lucid have an explanation as to why Trump/MAGA keep talking about Biden?

I'll take my answer off the air...

Biden is still the sitting President. 

Well, maybe I guess. He certainly isn't fit to be and it is a scandal the media is not demanding to know how the man unfit to run for President is somehow still fit to be President. I digress...

Harris is his VP, so... what are her thoughts on this? Oh, gee, I guess she doesn't take questions... 

Like, for real, your big take here is that this isn't a big deal because Biden is not running anymore? Really?

Oh man, that was really stupid.

The question you should be asking is "Why did the NYT lie about this story when the truth would have hurt Biden's re-election chances?"

The timing looks pretty bad, right?

They didn't tell us anything that they didn't already know this week, and they knew all of this for several years... They knew it waaaay back before the 2020 election, when their neighbours at the NYPost were kicked off of Twitter for telling the truth about it. 

Think about that for a second... not only did the NYT lie about this whole Burisma scandal this whole time, they let journalism fall victim to a fascist level of political protectionism. They even let the FBI get away with covering this up.

And make no mistake, black-listing honest journalism to hide the political corruption of one's favourite party is even worse than book-burning. 

When the NYT stood by and let that happen, they were no better than the people who sat on their hands and watched the Nazis take over Germany.

So what is the NYT trying to do with their latest admission?

Are they turning the corner from "Let's get Joe off the ballot", to "Let's get Joe out of the WH"?

Joe isn't running the country anyways, so officially removing him from the WH is no different from changing the drapes.

If they install Kamala now, is it being done to keep her off the top of the ticket in 2028?

Is she eligible to run again in 2028 if she takes over the presidency now and then serves a "second term" from 2025-2029?

I don't know how that rule works in relation to "1.08 terms as president". Technically, Jan 2025 would be the start of her "second term".

^Lost touch with REALITY. Hunter's contact with the US embassy in Italy was NOT REPORTED previously.

The odd thing is you believe merely requesting assistance is unethical. No proof ANY was PROVIDED.

Blah, blah, blah. The toothpaste is outta the tube now, robo. There's no going back.

Now even you have to acknowledge that Hunter WAS hired to get Burisma's fat out of the fire, period.

That means that when his dad fired the prosecutor who froze Zlochevsky's assets - and then unilaterally appointed the new prosecutor who let Zloch off the hook - Joe Biden was using power vested in him by the VPOTUS seal to act on behalf of the same guy who his son was hired to protect by enlisting the gov't of the USA.

Do you think that Hunter asked the State Dept but he didn't ask his own dad?

Do you think that Joe's extraordinary level of help for Burisma was all just a coincidence now? 

C'mon robo, give us your honest opinion now.... This is just getting good!

You are utterly deluded. 

Get this through your fat, thick skull: It is not a violation of the law to write a letter to the State Department asking them to help your business arrange a meeting. Sorry, f*cko, but no law was broken, no corrupt act occurred, it's a nothing burger. Hunter (not Joe) wrote a letter to the State Department consulate in Italy, and they did not take any action in response to the letter. Nothing happened.

He wrote a letter. He didn't ask anyone to break any law. He was allowed, by law, to write a letter. I thought you'd know that, but now you know that it is perfectly legal to write a letter.  

Oh, and one more thing: Joe Biden is not running for President.

This is just more proof that Hunter was only hired to enlist the help of the US gov't, while his dad was the VP.

They want to tie harris to biden. She's trying to distance herself (without looking like she is) and the GOP wants people to remember they don't like biden and that means they shouldn't like her by association (or the like). She was there for and supported his shenannigans and they don't want her walking from that. 

Basically,

Is it a crime for a company to hire someone who has a high profile? 
 

The State Department determined that they couldn’t act on Hunter’s request because Burisma was on a Commerce Department approved list. But what if they were?  Then, yes, if Hunter’s request was something the U.S. government could do in its normal course of operations, the fact that the request came from the VP’s son may indeed have gotten it through the bureaucracy faster.  Is that illegal?

Do you have a reason for supporting the most corrupt politician of our time? Between Bob, this guy in DC and Joe, the dems have a real problem with their leaders taking bribes.

What does it mean to you when the VPOTUS uses his office just to enrich his own family? Is that why he was elected?

What does it mean to you when Biden lied over and over about his knowledge of/assistance to the companies that Hunter worked for overseas?

What does the fact that the MSM covered up for him all this time mean to you?

^Still no evidence that Joe did ANYTHING to help Hunter with Burisma. You're beating a LONG DEAD horse.

The claim: Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine to assist his son, Hunter Biden

Quote

Joe Biden leveraged aid to remove top prosecutor as part anti-corruption efforts

It's true that Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid to persuade Ukraine to oust its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016. But it wasn't because Shokin was investigating Burisma. It was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians.

1. Hunter was hired by Burisma 3 weeks after Joe's first official visit to Ukraine. Hunter didn't have any prior experience in the energy sector and he doesn't speak Ukrainian
2. Shokin won court orders seizing assets from Burisma's CEO
3. Biden threatened to withhold $1B in loan guarantees if Shokin wasn't fired
4. Shokin was fired, as per Biden's orders
5. Biden "put a new guy in his place that was solid" - Joe's own words
6. The new guy that Biden appointed let Zlochevsky off the hook, and re-united him with his assets. 

Hunter was also asking for help from the State Dept for Zlochevsky, but according to leftards "he probably didn't ask his own dad".
