In an hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson on Oct. 4, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, ripped the scab off a festering wound that the Biden family (and their many enablers) hoped had long been healed (and forgotten) forever.
For example, several of the emails retrieved included “a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month,” the Post reported. Pozharskyi thanked Hunter for his assistance in arranging a meeting with his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, in Washington.
Most important, given the explosive nature of the story, was the construction of a legacy media narrative that echoed the Russian disinformation nonsense, with zero investigative follow-up reporting conducted and the bombshell revelations quickly dropped down the media memory hole to minimize political damage to Biden.
All Roads Lead to Hunter
Biden’s elder son Beau was being groomed for a political career to replace his father in the Senate until his untimely death from brain cancer in 2015. Grooming younger son Hunter for politics wasn’t an option, given his long history of drug abuse and other hedonistic behavior, but that could have been why he briefly served as a public relations officer in the naval reserve until booted for testing positive for cocaine in 2014—to punch a ticket as a step toward replacing his gravely ill brother. But of course, his personal demons wrecked that possibility, so he continued his “lobbying career” and service as his family’s “bagman.”
Tony Bobulinski
Except for an occasional article from independent media, there has been near-total legacy media silence about Hunter’s laptop and especially Bobulinski to this very day. A simple web search of the name “Bobulinski” evinces zero articles by CNN, zero by CBS News, six by NBC News, with reporting ended on Oct. 30, 2020 (including three disparaging mentions in MSNBC show transcripts in October 2020), and eight by ABC News ending in a typical AP article on Oct. 28 that spun the story into a nothing-burger by claiming the emails and Bobulinski’s allegations “couldn’t be verified.”What happened to the vaunted legacy media investigative reporting that can somehow dig and spin dirt on Donald Trump incessantly for years but somehow can’t be bothered to investigate the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop? Not a single mention of Bobulinski has been made by any of these legacy media outlets since Oct. 30, 2020!
- A poll conducted by Newsbusters on Nov. 24, 2020, found that “full awareness of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led 9.4% of Biden voters to abandon the Democratic candidate, flipping all six of the swing states he won to Trump.” And nary a peep from the legacy media about that poll!
- After more than a year of denial, The New York Times finally admitted that the laptop is, in fact, legitimate, which the Times buried in a March 2022 story summarizing Hunter’s tax evasion investigation.
- Conservative commentators like Cal Thomas have called out The New York Times and others for their “dereliction of duty,” as reported by The Washington Times: “Not only did the Times and other major and social media ignore the story, in some cases the story was deemed fraudulent and blocked on several platforms.” Perhaps most insightful was this comment: “The tardy tacit admission by the Times that the New York Post was right will add to the view of many that today’s journalism is driven mostly by agendas and not facts.”
- A July 2022 Rasmussen poll reported that “fifty-two percent believed the [laptop] story was buried so as to not damage Joe Biden’s presidential aspirations [while] 32% say it was ignored because it was a ‘partisan hit job.’”
He reiterated Joe Biden’s complicity in and knowledge of Hunter’s various overseas business dealings. Silence from the legacy media!
Bobulinski confirmed again that Hunter committed fraud by diverting money from a Chinese company, of which he owned 20 percent, to an American LLC, of which he owned 100 percent. This was disclosed to the FBI in 2020. Where’s the indictment for fraud and tax evasion?
He stated that he voluntarily gave an interview to the FBI in October 2020, disclosing damning evidence, including emails, that confirmed all of his allegations made in the 2020 Tucker Carlson interview (and more).
While that five-hour FBI interview was being conducted, Bobulinski stated that he received a phone call from James Biden’s number but that no one spoke when he answered his cell phone. Who but someone at the FBI could have possibly tipped James Biden et al. that Bobulinski just happened to be in the middle of an FBI interview at that particular moment? Where are the legacy media investigative reporters beating down the doors of the FBI for the details on this bombshell?
Concluding Thoughts
The legacy media have yet to report on the Bobulinski interview with Tucker Carlson despite the damning allegations made of criminal conduct by the Biden family, as well as the apparent complicity of the FBI in continuing to cover up that criminality. It’s as if the Bidens, the corrupt FBI, and the equally corrupt legacy media have no play left other than to maintain the fiction that the Bidens are “innocent” of any crimes of fraud, corruption, or obstruction of justice, and that any allegations and evidence “simply can’t be confirmed.”The wound that Bobulinski reopened may not be healed without some serious indictments. And we should all thank him for exposing the legacy media’s continuing political corruption in service of Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
