No one in the Biden camp has denied the veracity of a single e-mail thus far. Yet, as of this writing, The Post\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> account was still frozen, and most major <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> outlets won\u2019t report the story.<\/p>\n<p>The next deflection was to play on your emotions: \u201cHow dare you mock a father struggling with the addiction of his son?!\u201d This isn\u2019t about Hunter\u2019s addictions, predilections or life choices, but about his favor-trading and whether a presidential candidate benefited from them during his tenure as vice president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>A Wisconsin reporter finally asked Biden what he thought about Sen. Ron Johnson accusing his family of profiting from Hunter\u2019s shady arrangements. Biden teed off on Johnson, who he claimed \u201cshould be ashamed of himself\u201d for suggesting that the Bidens \u201cprofited off\u201d the family name \u2014 an indisputable fact, and one that Hunter himself has admitted.<\/p>\n<p>Biden claimed the \u201cvast majority of the intelligence people have come out and said there\u2019s no basis at all\u201d \u2014 a complete fabrication. What he didn\u2019t do was answer any specific questions.<\/p>\n<p>Even during Thursday night\u2019s debate with President Trump, Biden claimed he hadn\u2019t been in business with his son but again failed to answer the more pertinent question of whether he had ever benefited from those relationships.<\/p>\n<p>If all of this is really wild and crazy conspiracy theory \u2014 \u201cspaghetti being thrown at the wall,\u201d as one CNN host claimed \u2014 then Biden would be champing at the bit to dispel it. In fact, he very well might have some good answers to the questions that journalists ought to be asking him. For instance:<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, you bragged that as vice president you had threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko with the withdrawal of United States aid if he didn\u2019t fire state prosecutor Victor Shokin. You called Poroshenko on Feb. 11, 12, 18 and 19 and demanded he fire the prosecutor \u2014 only days after the prosecutor had seized Burisma\u2019s owner\u2019s property.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know at the time that Shokin was investigating Burisma, the oil company that was paying your son Hunter more than $50,000 a month? Did you ever talk to your son about Shokin?<\/p>\n<p>Last year, in an interview with Axios, you claimed you had no idea what Hunter was doing at Burisma. Yet in 2015, two Obama administration officials had raised concerns to the White House about Hunter\u2019s relationship with the oil company, worried that the relationship undermined the administration\u2019s anti-corruption message.<\/p>\n<p>Did you hear about these complaints at the time? Were you troubled that Hunter\u2019s leveraging of the Biden name might look like influence-peddling? Why did you think he was making so much money?<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, though you have claimed that you had no idea what Hunter was doing at Burisma, an e-mail found on Hunter\u2019s laptop \u2014 now verified as authentic by Fox News \u2014 shows an executive from the oil company thanking your son for facilitating a meeting between you and he while you were still vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Did you take that meeting? If so, did you talk about Hunter\u2019s work? If not, what did you talk about with the executive?<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever financially benefited from Hunter\u2019s relationship with Burisma or any Ukrainian company \u2014 or has he held money for you in trust from any such deal?<\/p>\n<p>Again, you claimed in the past to have no idea about Hunter\u2019s business, yet he accompanied you on an Air Force Two flight to China in 2013. Two years earlier, you reportedly met with Chinese Communist Party members and favored billionaires in Beijing as vice president, in a meeting facilitated by Hunter\u2019s associates. What did you discuss at this meeting?<\/p>\n<p>Hunter\u2019s e-mails claim you would be getting a 10 percent share in a deal he struck with a Chinese energy firm \u2014 that he secured trading in on the Biden name. Did you ever benefit financially from this deal or any other deals made by Hunter in China, or has he held money for you in trust from any such deal?<\/p>\n<p>There may well be excellent answers to all these questions. Journalists, of course, won\u2019t even investigate these incidents now, much less put the presidential candidate on the spot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Twitter: @DavidHarsanyi<\/em>\n            <\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more News articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/23\/questions-joe-biden-should-answer-about-hunters-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Questions Joe Biden should answer about Hunter&#8217;s deals&#8221; First, Joe Biden\u2019s Praetorian Guard in the media argued that The New York Post\u2019s Hunter Biden scoop was \u201cRussian disinformation.\u201d The DOJ, FBI and DNI each publicly disagreed.
