Quote:How many times over the past few years has Joe Biden said he never spoke to his son Hunter about his business?

When that was found out to be untrue, Biden's team tried to change their phrasing and claimed that he never was in business with his son, and that he had always said that. That was some kind of an Orwellian switch: just accept what we say, and forget the prior evidence. That takes some kind of gall to pitch that position now, when we can all see what Biden and his team said before.

In addition to all the other evidence that Joe Biden was just spreading a lot of malarkey on this issue, now there's still more evidence that just blows up Biden's claim.

According to a new report, Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm traded more than 1,000 emails with Joe Biden's vice presidential office. The emails were discovered through a request to the National Archives (NARA) by America First Legal.

If that wasn't bad enough, NARA is trying to hold back 200 emails that reference Hunter's firm, claiming "executive privilege."

“Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors,” NARA informed America First Legal in response to its records request.

So I have questions here. How could anything be "confidential" or subject to "executive privilege," if Joe Biden didn't do business with his son? What is in those emails that they don't want people to see? I'm just going to take a wild guess and say they weren't talking about the weather or wedding plans. But the very phrasing of rationale indicates "business" and not just business, but business related to Biden's official capacity as Vice President. The very response from NARA cooks Biden's goose just a little bit more. You can't say it's official and then in the next moment say "Hey, Joe Biden wasn't at all involved."

Some of the emails that have been released show it was all about influence, such as the following exchange:

In one frantic December 2013 email, lobbyist Doug Davenport begs Hunter Biden’s former business partner Eric Schwerin for tickets, on short notice, to the White House Christmas tour, indicating that Rosemont Seneca’s level of access to the Executive Mansion was well-known.

“Hey guys……I am in a bad spot,” Davenport’s email begins. “I have a guy from Apple who is dying to take his 4 colleagues on a REGULAR WH Tour…see the tree, etc…..this Friday.”

“I know it is WAY short notice, but I would owe you my life if you could tell me any way possible to get my hands on some public tour tix for this Friday? Or am I just way out of line???” he adds.

Schwerin then directs a Rosemont Seneca employee to “check with our friends over there” and informs Davenport that the only way the request would be possible would be to get them to “the front of the line.”

Rosemont Seneca then contacts Joe Biden’s office and is able to secure Davenport’s last-minute request as a “Big favor for Hunter,” the email shows.

So for example, they get people into events and use the contacts to help the business. I don't know how you would call that anything other than influence peddling and Biden helping his son's business.
As the America First general counsel Gene Hamilton said, “These records provide even more evidence that no daylight existed between Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and the Office of the Vice President during the Obama Administration.”

If the Republicans are smart they will wait until the first of the year for the Impeachment Inquiry because 17 states have a deadline of the end of this year for candidates to be placed on the ballot.

You need a 2/3 majority vote to remove him from office. Democrats have 48 seats. It won't happen.

It's not about removing him from office. Nobody on the Right wants him removed from office. The whole point is to get the Democrats to want someone else on the ballot.

At this points, I disagree with impeachment...

If he's impeached and removed from office that leaves Kacklin' Kamala Harris and she gets to pick a VP to get confirmed. Not ideal.

Failed impeachment offers up sympathy for him, because that's how it'd be spun and the GOP is too weak and fearful to run dirty campaigns against it.

Let President Daisy run on his record against whomever is the GOP winner and see how it goes.

At this point that won't make a difference. There are no candidates that the Democrats could put up besides Biden.

Exactly. It's all about getting the evidence of all of his lies about the family business and making that the subject of the debates. Exposure.

Do you think it would matter to the Democratic voters? I don't. Many of them have the same view of Biden as the MAGA people have of Trump. He could kill an innocent baby in front of the White House and they'd still vote for him.

Yep.. Unfortunately my MIL is one of them.

She was worried about her retirement and investments.. She talked to her financial guy and asked his opinion in 2020.. He advised her that typically under a Republican her investments would do better because they focus on economic issues far more than Democrats who tend to focus more on social issues... She voted for Biden and within 6 months her investments had went way down and she complained because Trump didn't win.. I reminded her that she voted for Biden and what the guy said.. She said I thought I knew more than him because I have a Master's degree.. In History.. Not in finances, history. Her guy had a Bachelor's in Finances and hadn't lead her wrong or been wrong, but was mad cause she knew more than he did cause she had a higher degree... My FIL said it's baffling right? I don't have a degree and I understood the assignment..
