CNN’s 54-year-old news host Jake Tapper admitted that Trump was right about Hunter Bdien taking large some of cash from foreign government back in the 2020 campaign. Coordianted attacks by CNN and other liberal media outlets said reports of Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, especially any ties to 80-year-old President Joe Biden, were Russian disinformation. Reputable broadcast and print outlets like CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post and others, refuted a headline story in the New York Post that said Joe knew all about Hunter’s overseas business dealing despite swearing on a stack of bibles he knew nothing. Hunter’s former business partner for Chinese transactions Tony Boblilinsky said Oct. 22, 2020 that Joe was present at business meetings with Hunter. Now Jake Tapper admits for some reason that Trump was right about Hunter Biden.
What other obscure facts that relate to the 2020 election, including the origin of the deadly novel coronavirus, were 100% accurate, despite the press mobbing Trump what false accusations about conspiracy theories. “I mean, Trump was right. I mean, he [Hunter] did make a fortune from China, and Joe Biden was wrong. I don’t know that he was lying about it. He might not have been told by Hunter. But this blind spot is a problem,” Tapper said, drawing groans for CNN executives and other liberal news sources protecting Joe. Bobulinky directly contradicted Joe’s statements, saying Joe was intimately involved in Hunter’s foreign transactions, but, more importantly, cash went to the “Big Guy” to designate President Joe Biden. Tapper and CNN political editor Jeff Zeleny said they don’t think the Democrat base is too concerned about any business ties Joe had with his 53-year-old son Hunter.
Tapper and Zeleny admitted that House Republicans led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) were very focused on Hunter’s overseas business deals and Joe’s involvement with his foreign transactions. “But is there a blind spot directly around him and the campaign are incredibly interested and like to make this a central part of their campaigning, beginning with next week’s Republican presidential debate,” Zeleney wondered. CNN’s political analyst Kristen Anderson agreed that it could dominate the GOP debate. “It’s a problem, one, because Republicans aren’t going to let it go, that’s for sure,” Anderson said, concerned that Hunter’s overseas business deals and Joe’s knowledge will become a campaign issue. Democrats can’t dismiss the charges as Russian disinformation this time around in the 2024 campaign.
Tapper feels guilty that he went right along with CNN’s defense of Joe Biden in 2020, attributing the Hunter Biden laptop story and foreign business dealings to Russian disinformation. Tapper participated for years in the Russian hoax, delivering former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2016 talking points that Trump was a “Putin puppet” and “Russian asset.” It took years for an FBI’s counterintelligence investigation and Special Counsel investigation, to exonerate Trump, after Democrats and the liberal press accused Trump of colluding with the Kremlin for years. CNN’s Tapper played right along while Trump’s reputation was wrecked by the press, all over Hillary’s paid opposition research AKA the Steele dossier, accusing Trump of inappropriate Russian ties to win the 2016 election.
Tapper’s beginning to wonder whether he compromised his journalistic integrity to accuse Trump of serving as a Russian asset. Admitting that Trump was right all along about Hunter was a big admission for Tapper, knowing her promoted the Russian hoax for years. Not too many liberal hosts have admitted they framed Trump for years about his ties to Moscow. Tapper raises the very real prospect that the Justice Department and Special Counsel Jack Smith continue to frame Trump with a variety of Democrat charges. When it comes to the classified documents case, Smith takes old classified docs found in moving boxes at Mar-a-Lago and tries to make a federal case for violation the Espionage Act. When it comes to charging Trump with defrauding the U.S. government, Smith makes even more of a stretch, accusing Trump of knowingly deceiving the public about the 2020 election.
Tapper puts chink in Smith’s case against Trump because of admitting he was right about Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings. If Trump was right about Hunter, what else was he right about with Democrats and the press framing him for a wide variety of fake crimes? Smith knows that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller had to come to grips with the fact that Trump was telling the truth about his alleged ties to the Kremlin. Mueller knew that even after his final report March 23, 2019, former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) insisted he had categorical proof that Trump collude with Moscow. Schiff, who’s now running for Senate in California, never offered any proof of Trump’s guilt because there wasn’t any. So when it comes the Smith’s case against Trump, he must show that the past witch hunts against Trump was not part of a government conspiracy.
