Biden Says He Never Discussed Hunter Biden’s Ukraine Deal. Hunter Says He Did

[DAILYCALLER] Former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
Joe <q>Foreign Policy Whiz Kid</q> Biden

...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
claimed he never discussed Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
a July article from The New Yorker belies that contention.

"I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," Biden told Fox News news hound Peter Doocy on Saturday in Iowa before calling on President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
to be investigated over a phone call he made to Ukraine’s president.

The New Yorker article, titled "Will Hunter Biden Jeopardize His Father’s Campaign?" is an in depth look at Hunter Biden’s life and business dealings. It also contains a segment where Hunter apparently recalled discussing Ukrainian natural-gas producer Burisma "just once."

In December, 2015, as Joe Biden prepared to return to Ukraine, his aides braced for renewed scrutiny of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma. Amos Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, raised the matter with Biden, but did not go so far as to recommend that Hunter leave the board. As Hunter recalled, his father discussed Burisma with him just once: "Dad said, ’I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I said, ’I do.’ "

The inconsistency was pointed out on Twitter by Daily Mail U.S. political editor David Martosko:

During a July 25 phone call, a whistleblower claims President Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at least eight times to investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings in the country.

However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
a senior administration official told Fox News’ Ed Henry that the call contained "no quid pro quo," and that it would be "in the president’s interest" to release the call transcript.

#10 Well, if Gropey Joe became President, he could always pardon Hunter. If.

#9 My guess he'll be dropping out within a few days due to stressful medical issues. Staying in the race paints a bullseye squarely on Hunter's young arse.

#8 "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," Biden told Fox News...

Not even when son is flying with dad on Air Force One to son's business meetings in China.

Biden's finished. His ridiculous tales are not just contradicting reality anymore. They're contradicting themselves.

Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived

#2 Biden made Ukraine fire top prosecutor investigating son’s firm

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.
