This could very well be the work of foreign intelligence. However, as I discussed this morning in the Hill, that\u00a0<strong>does not mean that the emails and photos are fabricated<\/strong>. Many of us have long denounced Hunter Biden\u2019s work as a classic influence peddling scheme. That does not make it a crime, but it is common form of corruption in Washington.<strong>\u00a0These emails however, if true, would contradict Joe Biden\u2019s past statements of his lack of knowledge or involvement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Moreover, it would shatter Joe Biden\u2019s repeated assurance that his son did \u201cnothing wrong.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 One can argue over whether this is a crime, but few would say that there is nothing wrong with raw influence peddling worth millions with foreign entities.<\/p>\n<p>Now however the question is\u00a0<em><u><strong>how other journalists will respond.<\/strong><\/u><\/em>\u00a0 ABC has yet to even air the allegations and failed to ask a single question to Biden on it during the recent town hall event. Whether these emails are fabricated or authentic, this story is major news.\u00a0<strong>The question is whether there are major news organizations willing to report it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/biden-slams-cbs-reporter-asking-about-hunter-biden-scandal\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/biden-slams-cbs-reporter-asking-about-hunter-biden-scandal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden Slams CBS Reporter For Asking About The Hunter Biden Scandal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32240\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
