This probably deserves its own thread.
Started out as a story so sketchy that the author would not even put his name on it.
Just in the last couple of days it seems that one of Hunters old business partners has validated some of the emails.
But just when it seem to be gaining some legitimacy the story breaks about Trump also doing business in communist China. That, plus the fact that the China business involving Hunter took place after Joe was no longer Vice President, kind of cut the legs out from under that element of the story.
The Ukraine element of the story never really had any legs because the removal of Shokin was official US foreign policy and supported by the World Bank and most of the European Union. Everyone who gave aid to Ukraine wanted him removed, so it had nothing to do with Hunter Biden and Burisma.
The claims that Hunter received #3.5 million from a Russian source are pretty murky. There allegedly were payments to a consulting firm called Rosemont Seneca Thornton, but Hunter Biden denies being a part of hat business. Biden co-founded a company called Rosemont Seneca but that is a different entity. They say the records of ownership of these companies are not public record, but that does not sound right to me. Also the Senate report that originally made the claim has not provided any documentation to prove that the payments were even made.
But even if all these business claims are true there is no evidence that Joe Biden or Hunter Biden did anything wrong. If doing business in China or Russia is wrong then Trump is just as guilty as the Bidens.
I am sure there will be a constant stream of new information all the way up to the election, but the story will not have the impact that the right originally anticipated because it seems to be full of holes and Trump is the only one hiding his tax records.
