New Hunter Biden Disclosures Feature
$100,000 Donation Of Former FBI Director Freeh
To The Biden Grandchildren
By Jonathan Turley
July 05, 2021 "Information
Clearing House" - We
recently discussed the latest disclosures from
the laptop of Hunter Biden showing new business
dealings leveraging access to his father — and
further contradicting President Joe Biden’s repeated
denials of any knowledge or involvement with his
son’s deals. Now there is
a new disclosure of $100,000 given to the Biden
grandchildren by former FBI Director Louis Freeh,
who was seeking business deals with the Bidens. As
usual, there remains a virtual blackout on the Biden
laptop or the mounting evidence of Hunter Biden’s
influence peddling. Beyond a couple outlets like the
New York Post, voters have to rely on the
foreign press for coverage of the disclosures.
Freeh reportedly made the gift in April 2016 to
the trust for the children of Hunter’s late brother,
Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015. The
donation would well be a humanitarian gesture.
However, it was the contemporaneous pitches for
business deals with Hunter that has attracted the
attention of some. In July 2016, he contacted Hunter
and said that he “spoke to Dad a few weeks ago.” He
tells Hunter “I believe that working together on
these (and other legal) matters would be of value,
fun and rewarding.”
Freeh keeps pitching work with the Bidens. In
another email, Freeh writes “I would still like to
persuade him to associate with me and FSS—as we have
some very good and profitable matters which he could
enhance with minimal time.”

Freeh later wrote to say on July 8, 2016. “I
wanted to thank you again for referring Gabriel to
us and we have finalized an attorney letter of
engagement with him.”
On April 24, 2017, Freeh writes Hunter to say
that there were problems with the $100,000 and
pledging “a new $100k gift” and having the trust
“reimburse the foundation by paying it $100k.”
There is nothing here that is clearly criminal.
Freeh was clearly trying to tap into the Bidens for
business, not that type of rainmaker dealing is
common in Washington. What is most interesting
about the emails (beyond the $100,000) is that Freeh
understood that Hunter Biden was the window to deal
with the Bidens on deals. Keep in mind that, during
these years, Hunter Biden says that he was a wreck
dealing with drug and alcohol abuse. Biden admits
that he was still
a crack addict running into his father’s last
presidential campaign and the photos from China show
him passed out and doing drugs as well as sexual
trysts with various women, including possible
prostitutes.
In this book, Hunter
admitted that he was still a crack addict and
alcoholic: “[d]rinking a quart of vodka a day by
yourself in a room is absolutely, completely
debilitating” as well as “smoking crack around the
clock.”
Both Hunter and his uncle are repeatedly
referenced in a variety of deals as conduits to Joe
Biden. Tony Bobulinski stated that he personally
met with Joe Biden to discuss the business dealings
of his son and brother. Bobulinski has been
supported by these emails and is
repeatedly praised by Hunter Biden in the emails
and identified as the person in control of
transactions for “the family.” He has directly
contradicted Joe Biden’s denial of any knowledge or
involvement in his son’s dubious dealings. He has
never been called a liar by the Biden and Hunter
admits that the laptop
“might” be his — or they might be entirely fake
Russian propaganda. The mainstream media has no
interest in determining which is true — or to
recognize the fact that third parties confirmed that
these emails are real.
There are
more serious disclosures raised in these emails
that not only reveal influence peddling in details
but contradict the repeated denials of President Joe
Biden. While the Bidens are not claiming that these
emails are fake, the media has a blockbuster story
in either case: either this is the greatest frame up
of all time or it is the greatest cover up. The
problem is that, if it is a cover up, the media
played a major role in it.
While the media assigned teams of investigators
and reporters to cover every possible shady deal of
the Trump children, most media outlets are
continuing to bury the laptop story. If they do not
report on it, it did not happen. That has fueled
concerns that we have a type of state media by
default where reporters follow a narrative not by
legal coercion but personal conviction. In the age
of echo journalism and advocacy reporting, shaping
the news has become acceptable, even commendable. At
this point, the mounting evidence of self-dealing
and influence peddling by the Bidens cannot be
reported without being an indictment of not just
this conduct but that of many journalists and
columnists.
