THREAD. The porn dropping tonight is useful only in as much as it 1) validates the laptop is Hunter's, and 2) demonstrates Joe is vulnerable to blackmail by our adversaries. That said, it's better to focus on Biden's actions in Ukraine when looking to disqualify him.

Over just 3 months (Feb-Apr 2014) Russia annexed Crimea, Joe became Ukraine "point man" for Obama admin, and Hunter joined Burisma board for a 5-year term @ ~$50k / mo (that's more than 2x what a US public company director earns for an utterly unqualified Hunter).

Hunter joined the board as part of Burisma's plan to employ US influence to kill a corruption investigation into its oligarch owner (Zlochevsky). Predictably, a month later, Burisma emailed Hunter looking for "advice" on how to use his "influence" to stop the investigation.

All the while, Joe was talking to the Ukrainian President 4-5 times a month. A year later in April 2015, Hunter got an email from Burisma exec thanking him profusely for setting up a meeting for him with Joe in DC. Biden campaign's defense...the meeting wasn't in his calendar.

In Nov 2015 the Burisma exec emailed Hunter/Archer with comments on their proposed "scope of work" to close down Zlochevsky investigation, wanting to confirm it included "meetings/communications" with US officials so they'd persuade Ukrainian authorities to drop the case.

In March 2016, Joe Biden withheld $1bn in US aid unless the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Bursisma (Viktor Shokin) was fired. Unsurprisingly, Shokin was immediately fired. Dopey Joe later bragged about it on video in a conference hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations.

We don't know (yet) whether Joe personally profited from this episode, but we know his drug-addled son did. And we know Burisma hired and overpaid his son with the express purpose of shutting down the investigation. And we know Joe shut it down using US taxpayer $ as leverage.

More facts will surely come out, but it's inconceivable Joe did not know 1) Hunter was employed by a corrupt oligarch for an inflated salary, and 2) the oligarch was trying to use Hunter as leverage with his father who was running point for the US in Ukraine.

There are texts & emails suggesting all communications re Joe's involvement were to be done only in face to face meetings, nothing in writing. There are indications Joe was cut in on the action (10% for the "big guy"). The MSM vacuum on this story is outrageous. This is bribery.

All in all, it's sad the Dems chose to prop up a corrupt candidate with so many skeletons in his closet. It's journalistic malpractice the story hasn't been covered. And IMO it's a major reason Biden will lose the election in November. He can't be trusted with our security.
