Adam Schiff claims Hunter Biden email stories come 'from the Kremlin'

'We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin.'

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Friday described revelations from a slew of emails in a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden as being part of a smear coming “from the Kremlin” -- amid claims the revelations are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

“We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin," Schiff said on CNN. "That's been clear for well over a year now that they've been pushing this false narrative about this vice president and his son.”

The California Democrat was responding to questions about the origins of emails, found on a laptop purported to belong to the son of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and first reported by the New York Post.

Those emails reveal that Hunter Biden purportedly introduced his father to a top executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings in 2015, while another appears to reportedly outline a payout for Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.

While Fox News has not independently verified the Post’s reporting, Fox has spoken to one of the people who was copied on the email about the Chinese energy firm, who confirmed its authenticity.

The Bidens' relationship with Ukraine came under special attention last year as House Democrats pursued an impeachment inquiry surrounding President Trump's July 25 call with Ukraine's president, in which Trump asked the president to look into Biden’s dealings in the country.

Trump in recent days has drawn attention to the new revelations from the Post, something that drew criticism from Schiff.

“The origins of this whole smear are from the Kremlin and the president is only too happy to have Kremlin help in trying to amplify it,” he said Friday on CNN.

I don’t get how the Russians could be involved if it is Biden’s own hard drive. This make no sense but then again it is shifty.

That was my first thought. I am sure Schiff has just as much proof ofhis claims as he did at the impeachment. Zero.

The article says that Fox has independently verified the emails by a third person who was CCed. When I first heard Brett Baier telling this story he said they had 2 sources that verified the emails were exactly what Rudy says they are. Anyone know the second source?

Maybe Schiff should be added to the Pelosi competency complaint.

They’re working on the counter narrative and that is the story that is going to get traction

Well, that answers the question. We now know for sure these email exchanges are real. Anything that Adam Schiff says, we know the opposite is true.

Hi Bitt!

"Adam Schiff claims Hunter Biden email stories come 'from the Kremlin'"

Might almost fly with the low information crowd, except for one small detail...

Apparently, Humper signed the service ticket

It could also be a doctored picture or a Russian agent who bears a striking resemblance to Crackhead Hunter! We’re all gonna get vertigo from the Democrat and media spin doctors on this one!

The computer repair shop in Delaware is a front for the Kremlin? Was it a front because they knew that Hunter would eventually bring his mac to the repair shop when he spilled his blow on it? Do Dem party elite think that party members have an IQ below freezing temperature readings? The last calculation was probably the only correct calculation they made because I see partisans quoting this Russian front crap all over the internet

When you have a significant number of elected office holders in the federal government who have no problem lying directly to the people, your nation is at immense risk.

Definitely what happens when you DON’T at least charge these people when you have the chance.

ALL of these slugs have been allowed to walk around - starting at the top of the BO tree and all they do is take potshots at the people who are ‘being nice’ to them and when one finally does act, the inevitable ‘excuse’ is ‘You must be being vindictive otherwise you would have charged (fill in the blank) long ago.

Those darnnRussians stoled Hunter’s computer, took it to the IT place and while the blind guy wasn’t looking they changed Hunter’s emails.

Schiff, Clapper and the Deep State claim it was Russia. And yesterday, the Daily Beast reported that it came from China.

These Dems need to get their conspiracy theories straight!

Adam Schiff? Now there’s a guy to go to for solid nonpartisan information. /s

Like “I have personally seen the documents proving Russia-Trump collusion that merits impeachment.” Except it didn’t exist.

“But well, then just listen to my transcript reading of the Ukraine call. This means impeachment and removal for sure.”
