Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have been charged with corruption, but...

Something incredibly unusual happened this week – Australian news outlets worldwide received initial information on US presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

As American media wrestles over whether to release information provided by the President’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, Sky News Australia, The Daily Telegraph and the Australians like to broadcast and publish their thoughts.

Although Mr Bannon is currently charged with his alleged involvement in a massive fraud program, the front page features major cover stories based solely on his testimony.

These stories, in which corruption is alleged on the part of the Biden, are partly behind President Donald ’s latest campaign chant: “Lock him up”.

At a rally this week, Mr Trump beat up the Biden family over the story, which is based on a laptop allegedly owned by Hunter Biden.

“Joe, he’s corrupt. And you know what? You found the laptop.

What are these stories about?

First of all, it must be noted that the central premise of the stories is wrong.

Since 2018, Messrs. Giuliani and Trump have alleged that Mr Biden acted corruptly during his tenure as Vice President and accused him of campaigning for the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor who is investigating Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company that employs his son, Hunter Biden .

The inherent problem with this isn’t whether Mr Biden requested the prosecutor’s dismissal – he did and bragged about it on a public forum in 2018.

The problem is that the prosecutor didn’t investigate the gas company his son worked for.

Viktor Shokin served as the Prosecutor General of Ukraine for one year from February 2015 to March 2016.

During this time, he did not prosecute a single person for corruption, although corruption was a widespread problem, particularly in the energy industry.

Instead, Mr. Shokin allegedly spent his time in the office, shaking people off for bribes.

It was wonderfully lucrative, not only for him but also for his employees.

When the homes of some of his executives were searched, they were found to be full of sacks of cash and diamonds.

When this came out there were protests demanding that he be fired. In addition, a sniper shot Mr. Shokin three times while he was in a meeting in his office.

The US State Department, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund urged Ukraine to fire Mr Shokin, arguing that he was preventing the country from emerging from its corrupt past.

Senate Democrats and Republicans, including Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, have jointly written a letter calling for urgent reform of the Attorney General’s office.

When they met resistance, Mr. Biden was sent to deliver the final message. Mr. Shokin was eventually released.

This version of events was supported by U.S. State Department officials, such as Trump-appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, who testified last year under oath that Mr. Biden was conducting official U.S. government policy.

Despite multiple media and government investigations into this series of events, a year-long campaign has been launched to claim that something corrupt has happened.

Who is behind the story now being driven by the Trump campaign?

The work of moving the story forward was led by Rudy Giuliani and a very suspicious cast of characters.

There are two Ukrainian-American men who ran a fake company registered as a “Fraud Guarantee” and are currently awaiting trial for violating campaign funding.

There is the Ukrainian oligarch with alleged Russian mob connections, who lives in exile in Vienna and is fighting against extradition to the USA.

And there is the Ukrainian politician, who was sanctioned by the US Treasury Department for his close ties to Russian intelligence and for “complicity in foreign interference in an attempt to undermine the upcoming 2020 US presidential election”.

These men worked together on a plan that resulted in the direct impeachment of Mr Trump in 2019 after he urged the Ukrainian President to open an investigation into Joe Biden, based on findings from Mr Giuliani and friends.

Then, beginning in early 2020, it was reported that Russian government hackers had gained access to Hunter Biden’s emails and were planning to release them before the 2020 elections in order to inflict maximum damage on his father’s election campaign in a direct replay – Run of their 2016 US election campaign.

The reporting did not make it clear whether they would publish the information themselves online, through a WikiLeaks-like intermediary as in 2016, or otherwise.

With that in mind, let’s talk about Hunter Biden’s laptop, the new piece of the puzzle that hit the Australian newspapers and led to the chants of “Lock ’em all up”.

The laptop that revived history

Last week, the New York Post reported that emails from Hunter Biden had surfaced tying Joe Biden to Burisma.

The emails appear to have proven, according to the leading paragraph, that: “Hunter Biden introduced his father, then Vice President Joe Biden, to a senior manager of a Ukrainian energy company less than a year before the elder Biden put pressure on government officials in Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who is investigating the company. ”

The email, which allegedly came from the Burisma executive and is only provided in screenshot form, reads, “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving me the opportunity to meet your father and to spend [sic] some time together. It’s real estate [sic] an honor and a pleasure. “

This is the bullet.

The story falls over in the first paragraph. As mentioned earlier, the prosecutor did not investigate Burisma.

The story goes on to say that “other material extracted from the computer includes a slippery 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter admitting to struggling with addiction problems and smoking crack while dealing with a unknown woman has sex than numerous other sexually explicit images. “

How did the New York Post get this material?

It is said that the files on a laptop were dropped off at a computer repair facility in Delaware in April 2019.

The shopkeeper is “legally blind” and can’t be sure who dropped the laptop in, but suspects it was Hunter Biden as his name was listed as a contact.

But whoever dropped it off never came back to pick it up.

The shopkeeper looked inside the laptop and was apparently so horrified by what he found that he alerted the FBI, although the FBI has not confirmed it.

He then got in touch with Mr. Giuliani via means that were still unclear.

The Biden family did not comment on whether the laptop was really given in by Hunter Biden.

Mr. Giuliani told the New York Times that the reason he told the New York Post the story was because “Either no one else would take it, or if they did they would spend all of their time trying to get it contradict before they do. “delete it”.

New York Post journalists have told the New York Times and New York Magazine that they are concerned about the veracity of the story.

There are a few possibilities for what happened here. One is that, although Mr. Giuliani lied about this story repeatedly recently, it was really by incredible accident that he came into possession of these materials.

The other is that Russian intelligence hacked into Hunter Biden’s information and then washed what they found through a laptop and a drop in a friendly computer store.

In any case, the information on the laptop is highly questionable.

Because of this, American news outlets were reluctant to touch this.

But Australian media has not shown any such concerns.
