I wrote about Hunter Biden’s business dealings with the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma a few times. But there actually some more revelations about it, from a well-respected fact-checker called “Just Facts”. I watched the lead investigator do an interview on the Eric Metaxas show, and I also found an article on the Just Facts web site. Let’s take a look at it.

Here’s what it says:

Newly discovered emails prove beyond all doubt that the “true purpose” of Hunter Biden’s lucrative deal with a Ukrainian energy company was for Hunter to get “high-ranking US officials” to visit Ukraine and persuade the nation’s leaders to “close down” all criminal “cases/pursuits against” the firm’s primary owner, a notoriously corrupt oligarch with ties to Russia.

Documentation of this illegal scheme begins with a widely overlooked email on Hunter’s laptop in which a top executive of the Ukrainian firm describes the plan. Now, emails uncovered by Just Facts prove that Hunter and his partners:

• explicitly agreed to this deal.
• concealed the names of top U.S. officials to “be on the safe and cautious side.”
• affirmed that only Hunter could credibly promise to get those officials to shield the oligarch from criminal charges.

Just one month later, then-Vice President Joe Biden did exactly what those emails specified by visiting Ukraine and threatening to withhold U.S. aid unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter’s cash cow was fired. Moreover, Biden did this by going after two “key targets” identified in the emails: the “President of Ukraine” and the “Prosecutor General.”

The funny thing about Biden withholding U.S. aid is that this is the exact “quid-pro-quo” situation that Trump was accused of. This is using the power and wealth of the American people to help people who are helping your own family.

The article explains:

• how Hunter was being paid
• how much Hunter was being paid
• what the Ukrainian oligarch expected Hunter to do

This is the part about Joe Biden:

One month after the emails above were exchanged, Joe Biden did exactly what they specified.

In December 2015, Biden visited Ukraine and later recounted on video that he told Ukraine’s president and its prime minister on that trip that he would withhold a U.S. government “billion-dollar loan guarantee” unless they fired the “state prosecutor.” “If the prosecutor is not fired,” warned Biden, “you’re not getting the money.” Biden then added, “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.”

[…]Just two weeks after the court’s seizure order, the president of Ukraine forced the prosecutor to resign. White House phone logs show that Joe Biden talked to the president of Ukraine at least three times in the week surrounding the firing. The phone log for the last of these calls states, “The Vice President also commended President Poroshenko’s decision to replace Prosecutor General Shokin, which paves the way for needed reform of the prosecutorial service.”

And finally:

Two months later in May 2016, Ukraine’s parliament approved the president’s appointee for a new chief prosecutor, who Biden described as “solid.”

[…]Six months after Biden’s “solid” prosecutor was appointed, he dropped all criminal charges against the oligarch. The prosecutor also applauded the settlement as a “success” because the oligarch paid $7.46 million in back taxes and penalties. Far from being a prosecutorial victory, the oligarch praised these outcomes and stated that they would allow his corporation to increase production and “attract international companies to Ukraine.”

What about Joe Biden?

Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter’s illicit business deals is also evidenced by a 2017 encrypted What’s App message uncovered by the New York Post. In it, one of Hunter’s business partners wrote to another partner while discussing Joe Biden, “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid.”

What’s interesting is his list of the news organizations and tech companies that covered up for Joe Biden.

Here are a few that are documented by Just Facts:

• In October 2020, Twitter locked the New York Post’s account for reporting on Hunter’s laptop and pinned a post to the top of Twitter’s home page claiming that Joe Biden “played no role in pressuring Ukraine officials into firing the prosecutor,” a statement flatly disproven by the words of Biden himself.

• In October 2020, NPR managing editor Terence Samuels Public Editor wrote that NPR is not reporting on the NY Post’s expose of Hunter Biden’s laptop because “we don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”

• In October 2020, Facebook executive Andy Stone wrote, “While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.”

I really recommend reading the full article, so you can understand the full scope of how the mainstream news media and the Big Tech companies interfered in the 2020 election on the side of the Democrats.

In November, we have another chance to vote about what Joe Biden did, and about how the mainstream media treated the story. I would imagine that the Democrats think that the American people are too stupid to be following the facts of this case. If the Democrats lose the House and the Senate in November, maybe they will understand that the American people don’t rely on traditional sources of news anymore. We do our own investigating now.
