This seems new:

:…Earlier in the interview, **Bobulinski** explained that “in Oneida Holdings, LLC, the equity is broken up 20% Hunter Biden, 20% Jim Biden.”

“So **Joe Biden is vetoing your plan for putting stricter governance** in the company,” Carlson noted. “I mean — and it’s right here in the emails.”

“Yes, Tucker, I want to be very careful in front of the American people,” Bobulinski said. “That is not me writing that. That is not me claiming that. **That is Hunter Biden writing on his own phone** , typing in that I spoke with ‘my chairman,’ **referencing his father**. If the world thinks that that ‘my chairman’ is not his father, then Hunter Biden would come forward and go on record and state to the world.”

Maybe he should accuse Hunter Biden of being a pig-fucker. He may get more traction with soliciting that denial.

I’m shocked that when **agzem** said the defenses were similar, they were actually different.

This is also **VERY** new:

"…Bobulinski said he asked **Jim Biden** directly, “ **How are you guys getting away with this?** Like, aren’t you concerned?”

“He looked at me, and he laughed a little bit and said, ‘ **Plausible deniability**.’"

> Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski claimed that Joe Biden’s brother Jim said he and Biden’s son were relying upon “plausible deniability” as they pursued a lucrative deal with a Chinese Communist Party-linked company.

Plausible deniability sounds like the defense that Bobulinski will use in the defamation or perjury case when he backtracks his claim that Joe was “the chairman”.

I think it’s probably pretty safe to say that:

- Nothing that the Trump administration (or the campaign or its surrogates) has _ever_ accused anybody else of has ever proven to be true, and

- Nothing that the Trump administration has been credibly accused of has not been extremely well supported by endless compelling evidence (including testimony given under oath), despite no end of obstruction _from_ the administration

If you exit the RW echo chamber for some air … it’s pretty hard to argue against that.

Here’s the problem for the Trump administration. For years and years they’ve been emitting lie after lie after lie. A torrent of lies. A hurricane of lies. So at this point, people just don’t believe anything that comes out of it.

Why are you replying to my comment with that? Intellihub (??) **has nothing to do with anything I posted**. I’ve never heard of that site before.

It is actually the site that you linked to. Newsbreak was just an aggregator for the intellihub story.

If you go to the site that you linked to, and click where it says “Read Full Story” it takes you to the intellihub site.

Did you not check your own sources?

The reason you can’t find anything is, for example, the NY Post has been censured by Facebook and Twitter. And the MSM won’t touch the story because Biden is their boy. Did you see the Senate’s grilling of FB and Twitter today on their censures? It would answer a few questions on motivation as to the lack of coverage. Otherwise, I think you can go directly to the NY Post, there is some coverage on it in the WSJ and of course FOX. But that’s it for now. The story should be covered, true or false, and there is some pretty damning evidence out there that is more than bogus, as you say. And there is a seemingly legit witness. The FBI has opened a money laundering investigation. So they must have at least as much evidence as they had in the provenly bogus Steele dossier leading to an impeachment.

Yes and the linked site is **also an aggregator** that links to the original. That story has been posted in many places.

And you, being aware of all of this, didn’t link to the original, why exactly?

Why can’t Jim Biden or Hunter Biden simply make a statement to that effect? Seems that would clear things up. This interview corroborates a lot of what was found on the laptop. I don’t understand why they can’t just come out and deny all this.

You dont deny crap like this. Any fool in politics knows that. LBJ made that very clear.

I see. So if they did come out and denied it, I suppose that would put the entire subject to rest for you and you’d move on believing there was nothing to the accusations. Case closed. Right?

That’s probably not the case (yet). Even conservative site “RedState” is casting doubt on that:

"…The designation on the property receipt is — for all practical purposes — useless based on the known information.

**A 272D matter is about as “generic”** as the FBI can be with regard to an unknown form of white-collar crime. For practical purposes, it serves as a “ **placeholder** ” until more information is known."
