Biden email episode illustrates risk to Trump from Giuliani
The Associated Press ^ | October 17, 2020 | By ERIC TUCKER (D-AP)

Posted on 10/17/2020 6:07:09 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

A New York tabloid’s puzzling account about how it acquired emails purportedly from Joe Biden’s son has raised some red flags. One of the biggest involves the source of the emails: Rudy Giuliani.

Giuliani has traveled abroad looking for dirt on the Bidens, developing relationships with shadowy figures, including a Ukrainian lawmaker who U.S. officials have described as a Russian agent and part of a broader Russian effort to denigrate the Democratic presidential nominee.

Yet Giuliani says foreign sources didn’t provide the Hunter Biden emails. He says a laptop containing the emails and intimate photos was simply abandoned in a Delaware repair shop and the shop owner reached out to Giuliani’s lawyer.

Frustration about Giuliani in the West Wing has long run rampant, with those around the president warily watching Giuliani’s efforts to bring down the Bidens and fearful they could boomerang back on the president.

Giuliani was central to advancing a discredited theory that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 election. His shadowy efforts to get Ukraine to launch investigations into the Bidens helped create the impeachment case against Trump.

Some around Trump fear that the case being made against the younger Biden has been weakened because Giuliani has become its face.

The Trump campaign has been pushing allegations of corruption against the Bidens for more than a year, with the president advancing the widely discredited theory that the vice president sought to force out Ukraine’s top prosecutor to protect his son from scrutiny. Though Trump associates believe a case can be made that Hunter enriched himself by selling access to his father, they fear that Giuliani’s lack of credibility will cause the allegations to implode.

The BiteMe camp has yet to issue any denials.

Jonathan Turley is right. The dog that isn’t barking tells us a lot.

The source of the emails is Hunter Biden’s laptop. Then it went to the repair shop owner. Then it went to Guliani’s lawyer. Then it went to Guiliani. Then it went to the New York Post. Copies were said to have been sent to Senator Mike Lee and the FBI. I am wondering why nothing came from Mike Lee.

The risk to Trump is small. The risk of becoming misinformed from the Ass******* Press is high.

I had my doubts about Rudy, and his travels overseas. Who knew he would end up redeemed by the stupidity of Hunter? Good for Rudy and the NY Post. The FBI ignored the probable crimes. THIS is the kind of thing the FBI should be involved with.

Serious spin job occurring here. It’s an indication the MSM knows this is damaging to Biden.

Yep. Notice that no one, including the Biden campaign, is countering the actual information, just the providers of it. And I saw yesterday they have started the Russia! meme already.

Rudy Giuliani: Federal Crimes Uncovered In Biden Hard Drive |

Nice rhetorical gambit by Rudy....stacking up Hunter's crimes alongside organized crime.
Yet, the Biden Crime Family Syndicate is 1000 times worse than o/c.......

They are rank opportunists.

The Bidens get rich sucking off the backs of working class Americans struggling to make a living.

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

AND NOW THE WHINING BEGINS----the moaning about poor widdle Hunter is starting to surface. The guy was
brought up to see himself as privileged and untouchable by normal laws and morality. Whatever he wanted, he got...

Hunter was an arrogant, amoral creep from the start, encouraged by his father because Hunter’s activities were
useful to the Biden Crime Family's bank balance and for Joe Biden’s obsession w/ political power. Hunter’s only
regret seems to be that he had to share the proceeds of his crimes with his father....Joe demanded 50% as his cut.

Hunter was resentful and angry even though it was his father’s influence that enabled him to rake in the bucks doing odd jobs......
and to party and satisfy his lust the rest of the time. (h/t livius)

“...Biden was on a deep cover secret mission.”

What a patriot!! To save our nation from the Russians, he has had to ignore his basic decency and pretend to enjoy sleeping with strippers and whores. To maintain his cover, he has used crack and meth, all To create the illusion to foreigners that he was someone who could be bought.

In the upside down world we live in, this article’s fear mongering and “look the other way” tone confirms that everything G has is very much real.

They really are scared. We are close.

Undoubtedly the AP is afraid to go after the person who turned the information over to the NY Post. Most likely the left is still smarting about all the lawsuits being won by Nick Sandmann. Giuliani, being a public figure, is an easy target.

The laptop computer will be easy verified since it is most likely the serial and model number were registered at the time of purchase.

Twitter and Facebook should never have suspended the accounts. Now the left have to come up with something to deflect the info.

Not buying it, either. IMHO, yhe case has become stronger with Giuliani involved. He took out the mafia from NYC, so he’s an expert at taking care of business when it comes to crime families.

Rudy gets a grand jury for alleged jaywalking. Real evidence of serious Democrat federal crimes is hammering us over the head and we get nada from the “Trump” DOJ.

One side wants to win. The other does not. The GOP Senate is giving the Biden campaign an in kind contribution right now by failing to provide oversight of the rogue DOJ. We need to hold them accountable for that.

Imagine if we had a GOP Senate that was not giving top cover to Biden. This isn’t hard. The evidence is overwhelming. The DOJ is broken/corrupt and the GOP refuses to perform it’s Constitutionally given oversight duties.

I’m not. Lee didn’t even vote for Trump. Lee chairs an important Senate committee and rather than engage Big Tech for bias he has chosen to stuff his pockets with Democrat cash. Mike Lee and the GOP Senate are playing for Team Biden right now.

If Biden gets elected you can count on these Biden stories to grow legs. Kamala is the ultimate goal for all if them. Biden is a patsy.
