    The latest conservative effort to smear Democratic presidential nominee has now been debunked by a reporter at Fox News.
    On Thursday night, President Donald Trump invited Tony Bobulinski, an ex-business associate of Hunter Biden, to accuse Joe Biden of lying about his knowledge of his family's overseas business dealings.
    Part of his case against the Democratic nominee was a series of text messages in which Hunter Biden referred to consulting with someone known as "The Chairman" about an investment in a company called SinoHawk Holdings.
    In Bobulinski's telling, "The Chairman" referred directly to Joe Biden.
    However, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich combed through all of the texts and emails released by Bobulinski and determined that his claims about Biden being "The Chairman" were false.

    Wow. Even Fox News is calling this story as Complete BS.

    How much more convincing does Trump need that this story is ALREADY dead in the water and going nowhere?

    The timing of this whole story should have already told anyone intelligent that they have nothing. If they had anything, they would have shouted it from the rooftops since months.

    Of course, it also tells us how poorly they think of the electorate. They think the electorate is stupid enough to be swayed by this B$ smear two weeks before the election? Good luck with that.

    Fox news debunks it? Where is the link to Fox news? Just a link to the left wing noise machine "Raw Story". I guess ole "Big Guy gets 10%" Joe stripping a few gears during the last debate has the left in panic mode.

    Oh so some obscure reporter "combed' thru the info and determined it was false? Hahaha!

    Then let's see the proof. If not then we know it is true.

    The Chairman is China according to her? Wow... is it actually better?

    The Bidens' chairman is China, ladies and gentlemen. An American Vice President and Presidential Candidate's Chairman is China, no less.

    Wow!

    Like the obscure computer repair guy combed through Hunter's supposed e-mails and knew there was illegal stuff in there? Right, very believable.

    Exactly.

    And to add some Obvious Context:

    1) 3/4 of America (those outside of the Faux/Trump Bubble) either Don't Care about (or, in most cases, haven't even heard of) the "Hunter Laptop".

    2) The 1/4 of America who actually "cares" about this FAKE BS (those influenced by the Faux/Trump Bubble) are already 100% voting for Trump.

    3) Taking 1) and 2) into account, this FAKE "story" has Zero Chance to move the Electoral Needle.
    ^That is, simply, a Fact.

    4) The 1/4 of America who actually comprises the Faux/Trump Bible is exponentially overrepresented online.

    5) Thus, it is inevitable that a place like PF (where the Faux/Trump Bubble is exponentially overrepresented), this FAKE Hunter Laptop BS is being given much more oxygen that it is being given in the Real World (where 3/4 of America could not care less).

    Joe hasn't denied the emails. DT asked Joe directly last night if he was the "big guy" referenced in the emails and Joe wouldn't answer. Bobulinski, Hunter's former business partner, says that Joe was the big guy referenced in the emails.

    of course he didn’t know if it was illegal or not...hence why he turned it over to the proper authorities to investigate

    Out of the frying pan and into the fire. :lol:

    Anyhoo, that makes sense. H was holding 10 for the Big Guy, not the Chairman.

    So? Joe didn’t write those emails. And anyway, is it illegal to have business interests?

    Well, it did fool the rubes in 2016 when he smeared Hillary so they figured they’d try again.

    Why would you turn something over to the authorities if you don't know if it contains illegal stuff? Just for the fun of it? Or, because you are a Trump fan and it has the name Biden on it? Why do you go to the FBI, and not the police? Why do you get Giuliani involved? The whole story is totally unbelievable.

    Because I don't know what it is, but I think it maybe questionable

    FBI instead of police? Easy, because it's dealing with the VP and foreign nations.

    Giuliani? Why not, he's on the news talking about some shady stuff in regards to the Bidens...maybe he'll pay me if I give him a copy of the stuff I found.

    Story seems pretty believable...at least to the FBI that subpeonaed Hunter's computer as part of their money laundering investigation, and now have scheduled an interview with the Bidens former business partner.

    I think, while he was VP, the answer may be yes. Unethical at any rate. He shouldn't have used his position as leverage, if it turns out that he did.

    These questions don't really matter. The impeccable timing does make me wonder if someone has been sitting on this for a while. But that doesn't make it untrue. It certainly sounds like there is some evidence and now the talk is of money laundering. I wonder if Biden might go to jail.

    Computer repair guys find a lot of stuff on your hard drive while they are troubleshooting it. They can find files that you deleted, like all of your porn for example. They look for anything that might be causing a virus to wreck your system. IT guys are also smart; they know what illegal stuff looks like. So the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop is not that farfetched at all.

    Very true...and if crack head Hunter had no been on another bender, maybe he picks up the laptop on time, and the IT guy doesn't take position and turn it over

    I don't think Leftists know what "debunked" means.

    [​IMG]

    The retired Naval Officer confirmed Joe Biden was "The Chairman" and "The Big Guy".

    China Joe is as corrupt as they come. Just ask those caught by his payback to the Credit Card Industry with his toughened bankruptcy laws he forced through.

    "Big Guy" MAYBE gets 10% equity in a company AFTER he leaves office . . . and? You guys said long ago that you don't care about a political figure having foreign business deals even while in office, so why pretend now that you care about someone possibly having a foreign business deal after they leave?

    Sorry, but the only panic mode here is happening on the other end of the screen.

    The "big guy" email was from 2017. Biden was no longer in office. Trump, meanwhile, maintains foreign business deals even while in office. This is fake concern.

    It's been corroborated by one of Hunter's pals and recipient.

    Nothing illegal so far has been "corroborated" by this man, as both the WSJ and Fox have pointed out.
