Hunter complained that he had to
“pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” assuring her that unlike “Pop” — the family’s name for Joe — he wouldn’t take
“half your salary.” In right-wing circles, these texts have been construed to suggest there was a formal revenue-sharing agreement between Joe and Hunter.
There is the "big guy" quote > . In 2017, Hunter and his partners formed a corporate entity to pursue business ventures with Ye Jianming ’s company, including a later-scuttled $40 million investment in a natural-gas project on Monkey Island in Louisiana. A 2017 email from a representative for one of the partners (subject line: “Expectations”) was allegedly found on the laptop. It proposed a corporate structure in which Hunter would own 20 percent of the company, with another 10 percent
“held by H for the big guy.” The big guy, many on the right believe, was Joe Biden.
Ye later struck an agreement that paid nearly $5 million in legal and consulting fees to entities controlled by Hunter and his uncle James Biden.
the present stalemate, in which one side treats the subject with polite indifference while the other side foments and fundraises off it, is unsustainable. Maybe it will be broken by the Justice Department, which is reported to be conducting a wide-ranging criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, examining whether he
violated various tax, money-laundering, and lobbying-disclosure laws.
(The laptop has already been entered into the
Congressional Record on a motion by Florida Republican
Matt Gaetz.
The group Marco Polo founder Garrett Ziegler, believes it has uncovered a total of 459 documented violations of state and federal laws on the laptop.
It includes 140 alleged business-related crimes, 191 sex-related offenses and 128 drug-related crimes.
