Putin rejects Donald Trump's criticism of Biden family business
Reuters ^ | 10/25/2020 | Andrew Osborn

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Biden’s past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of Donald Trump’s attack lines in the U.S. presidential election.

-snip-

“Yes, in Ukraine he (Hunter Biden) had or maybe still has a business, I don’t know. It doesn’t concern us. It concerns the Americans and the Ukrainians,” said Putin.

“But well yes he had at least one company, which he practically headed up, and judging from everything he made good money. I don’t see anything criminal about this, at least we don’t know anything about this (being criminal).”

Putin also reacted with visible irritation when asked about comments Trump has made concerning Putin’s ties to the former mayor of Moscow, and to an alleged payment made to Hunter Biden by the ex-mayor’s widow. Putin said he knew nothing about the existence of any commercial relationship between Hunter and the woman.

Oh come on, Vlad. You know the truth but don’t want to tell it because the Bidens are your assets.

Its likely that the kind of graft that Biden engaged in is commonplace and expected in Russian, China and elsewhere.

I guess it doesn’t matter if Putin involves himself in our
politics if it’s on behalf of Biden.

Oh, so now Reuters believe Putin. what an amazing transformation after 4 years of them castigating Putin as perhaps the most evil man alive on earth today. Oh wait, that dubious honor goes to the bad orange man who collude with Russia to steal an election. The weak minded, read that as dumb as a box of rocks, Americans will obviously now hail Putin as a terrific leader now that the shoe is on the other foot.

By Russian standards, the Bidens were probably totally within the bounds of common operating procedure.

But by American standards, there are issues of Hunter registering as operating on behalf of a foreign country, There are also issues about the payments made to these “business” entities which bear all the marks of payoffs with money laundering to protect the “Big Guy”.

Putin owns Biden and doesn't want to see his investment squandered.

I don’t remember POTUS connecting Putin to the Mayor of Moscow, or his wife.

He never mentioned them together in a sentence, to my memory.

I just saw Lesley Stahls interview of Trump on 60 minutes...Incredibly she said his campaign was never spied on, no evidence of it and there’s no evidence of any corruption of the Bidens. That’s when Trump walked, freakin’ unbelievable bias. I shut it off

Putin is just preparing for a scenario where he may have to work with a president Biden. It’s diplomacy.
