Source on alleged Hunter Biden email chain verifies message about Chinese investment firm
By: Sam Dorman (Fox News)
One of the people on an explosive email thread allegedly involving Hunter Biden has corroborated the veracity of the messages, which appear to outline a payout for former Vice President Joe Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.
One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of "remuneration packages" for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as "Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC," in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.
The email includes a note that "Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate." A proposed equity split references "20" for "H" and "10 held by H for the big guy?" with no further details. Fox News spoke to one of the people who was copied on the email, who confirmed its authenticity.
Sources told Fox News that "the big guy" is a reference to the former vice president. The New York Post initially published the emails and other controversial messages that Fox News has also obtained.
The Bidens' relationship with Ukraine came under special attention last year as House Democrats pursued an impeachment inquiry surrounding President Trump's now-infamous July 25 call with Ukraine's president. In it, Trump asked President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the former vice president, who was suspected of abusing his authority to pressure the government into firing its top prosecutor.
Another email from May of 2014 shows Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to Burisma's board, allegedly shows him asking for the younger Biden's advice on how to stop "politically motivated actions."
"We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc. to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions," it reads. And less than a year later, a purported email from Pozharskyi shows him thanking Hunter Biden for an invitation to meet his father.
Biden's campaign has denied wrongdoing and claiming that the former vice president's schedule showed no meeting taking place. Politico later clarified that the campaign wouldn't rule out the possibility that the former vice president had an informal interaction with Pozharskyi.
Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates also said: "Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and political by a GOP colleague have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing. Trump administration officials have attested to these facts under oath."

I thought you didn't trust unnamed "sources", no? Or is that only when it's from the "MSM"? You seem to buy right in when it's right wing media "unnamed sources" don't you.
Exclusive — ‘This is China, Inc.’: Emails Reveal Hunter Biden’s Associates Helped Communist-Aligned Chinese Elites Secure White House Meetings
Well, looks like the media will have to double down on their censorship..
We can pretty much count on that!
It's actually not explosive because only like two or three media sources will cover it. Not only will the rest of the media not cover it, they are actively trying to prevent other people from spreading the story.
I mean hey, maybe an analysis of the story will reveal that there is no scandal here, but don't bury it. That just makes me think they all believe it should be a big deal.
Facebook Zips Up Your Free Speech – Ben Garrison Cartoon
FACEBOOK ZIPS UP YOUR FREE SPEECH
Facebook has banned real, legitimate political speech on its platform. A lot of people get their news from Facebook as well as Google and Twitter, but now the Silicon Valley companies run by billionaires think we no longer deserve a First Amendment. Like the communist tyrants in China, they want to dictate what can be said and what can’t. Zuckerberg, like the other social media moguls, loves China’s system of thought control. The Facebook billionaire even asked President Xi to name his child...
