Republican claims of bribery do not stack up, but uncomfortable details do
, a right-wing tabloid, reported that the three names were all pseudonyms used by Joe Biden on email when he was vice-president, including to communicate with his sonturned up evidence of Mr Biden’s alter egos while searching through the contents of Hunter’s laptop hard-drive, which he had abandoned at a computer repair shop in Delaware in 2019.
Their case, in essence, is that the emails will prove that Mr Biden did in fact know in detail what his son was up to in his role between 2014 and 2019 on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian oil-and-gas firm. According to Mr Comer, one email already found on Hunter’s laptop shows that: “Joe Biden was using a pseudonym and he copied his son about a shady, shady transaction.” The rest, he inferred, would show the president intimately tied into a scheme of “influence peddling”.
It is the latest in an investigation which so far has overpromised and underdelivered. Mr Comer has alleged that Joe Biden had taken bribes personally while serving as vice-president. In July, pressed by a Fox News anchor on whether he could prove that, he said, “I sure hope so.” Much of what he has turned up shows the younger Biden suggesting to his clients that he could influence his father. But nothing shows that it was much more than a bluff.
