Joe Biden's son emailed shop owner about hard drive to 'get it back': Former Trump chief
Sky News ^ | 18th October | Sky News Australia

Posted on 10/18/2020 5:15:54 AM PDT by Candor7

Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, has revealed Joe Biden's son emailed a shop owner who had his hard drive in an effort to get it back. The revelations come as the New York Post this week released an expose detailing links between Joe Biden and his son who was paid at least $50,000 a month to sit on the board of a Ukrainian energy company who allegedly set up a meeting with the then-Vice President.

Information regarding Hunter Biden’s relationship with the Ukranian energy company was sourced from a collection of emails recovered from a laptop that was allegedly dropped off at a repair shop in 2019 and later given to the FBI.

It was a water-damaged MacBook Pro and the person who dropped it off never paid for the service and didn't retrieve it or a hard drive on which its contents were stored - according to the shop owner who said he repeatedly tried to contact the customer.

Sky News host Sharri Markson said the owner of the repair shop in Biden's home state of Delaware says when he did not hear back from the FBI, he made a copy of the hard drive and gave it to Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

Emails on the laptop revealed that Hunter Biden had planned to introduce his father – the then-Vice President – to an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma, a company where Hunter served on the board of directors. Publicly, Biden has said he's never spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings. These emails seem to indicate otherwise.

In one message sent by Vadym Pozharsky in April 2015, he wrote: "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 honour and pleasure."

In response to this news, Facebook and Twitter both censored the article from the New York Post, advising they were "limiting the distribution" of the story on their platforms until a third-party contractor can "fact check" the article. Mr Bannon told Ms Markson, “Hunter Biden’s lawyer has come to us both with phone calls and with emails saying, ‘hey, I’ve got to get the hard drive back’.” “This is not some Russian intelligence operation; they admit it’s their hard drive,” Mr Bannon said. “We have the emails from the Lawyer, if we need to release them, we’ll release them.”

Australain News carries the full Biden crime story and interviews Steve Bannon. Excellent exposure.

Australia was negatively impacted by Biden's criminal activity in Red China

The Australian 60 Minutes interviewed the Biden staffer he sexually harassed years ago. Aired the full interview. It’s never been covered in the press here. I found it on YouTube.

Australia still has a free press. America does not.

Folks ought to tune on the Australian Sky News channel on youtube, their coverage is far better than any US mass media coupled with solid disdainful humor Aussies are noted for. Good info, solid opinions, and at times, good laughs. Some James Wood class zingers thrown in.

I definitely agree with you. Fred Nerks, a great Ozzie FReeper, has many Australian News Sources at her finger tips and shares them when they scoop the propaganda news services here in America.

Why would the shop owner give a copy of the HD to Giuliani? Does he know him personally?

Probably because he knows the MSM would tank the story had he contacted them, and Rudy is an attorney, which helps ensure any info distribution is done legally. That’s my take and it seems logical.

In other articles I have read on F.R. it was Hunter’s lawyer, not Hunter himself, who tried to retrieve the lap top and only after the evidence was given to the N.Y.P.

another lengthy Sky News report from Andrew Bolt.
there should be more on Sky once the main presenters return to their shows after the weekend:

Youtube: 13m09s: 16 Oct: Sky News Australia: ‘Disgrace’: Twitter, Facebook censor Hunter Biden story
Sky News host Andrew Bolt has condemned Twitter and Facebook for running a “protection racket” for Joe Biden after they censored a report on explosive emails revealing an alleged meeting between the former vice president and a Ukrainian businessman.
“Twitter and Facebook – they’re running a protection racket for Joe Biden and keeping news from you using their incredible market power,” Mr Bolt said.
“It is a disgrace and a threat to democracy.”
The New York Post said it received a copy of a hard drive from a laptop, left at a repair shop, via the Trump campaign which included emails and candid images of Mr Biden’s son, Hunter...

Mr Bolt pointed out the contrast between how the social media giants manage content about Mr Biden and President Donald Trump.
“When did Twitter and Facebook ever apply those same standards to protecting Donald Trump?” he said.
“Trump’s tax records the other day were stolen and leaked, Twitter and Facebook didn’t mind, no warning there, no bans.
“And for years the media published, promoted, talked up a faked dossier that Democrats had paid for.”

Mr Bolt said the social media giants had gone to “astonishing” and “frightening” lengths to stop the public reading about the story.
“The excuses Twitter and Facebook gave for this political censorship, let’s be honest about it, that’s all it is, changed during the day,” he said.
“Oh, look the link was unsafe, no the material was stolen, these emails, no, no actually it was private information, it was false, whatever.

He gave the computer to the FBI, who told him to STFU about it. Then the FBI sat on it. After 6 months and Biden’s nomination, the guy realized how much danger he was in. He made four copies which he distributed to Giuliani and some friends, as he says “in case the FBI killed him”. The shop owners foresight allowed him to avoid meeting Seth Rich‘s fate.

UT OH......Steve Bannon told Sky News:

“Hunter Biden’s lawyer has come to us with phone calls and with emails saying, ‘hey, I’ve got to get the hard drive back’.”

BANNON: “.....they admit it’s their hard drive. We have the emails from the Lawyer, if we need to release them, we’ll release them.”

The lawyer is stupid.....he is on-record....proving the abandoned laptop belongs to Hunter.

====================================

We now have proof-positive Hunter's activities exquisitely detailed via mails are not a product of some Russian intelligence operation.

Something is funny about the behavior of the shop owner. The FBI does pay computer repair shops for incriminating evidence. What I have seen indicates that many of them must be routinely running forensic software on that machines they repair. Perhaps he is trying to not blow that arrangement.

Emails on the abandoned laptop revealed that Hunter Biden planned to introduce his then-VP father
to an executive of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma......labeled as the most corrupt company in Ukraine.

Hunter was making big money serving on the board of directors. Looks like making introductions to corrupt Democrats was Hunter's main job.

Joe Biden has asserted time and again that he's never spoken to his son about Hunter's overseas business dealings.

These emails seem to indicate otherwise.

======================================

And do not ever forget----Obama was Biden's boss----every Biden move HAD to be okayed by Obma.

Ive seen a number of text exchanges between a friend of mine and the shop owner. The lawyer apparently has been the one contacting him — both by email and phone.
