A 2017 What's App message given by one of Hunter's business partners to the New York Post provides written, explicit evidence of Joe's direct involvement with Hunter's illicit business deals. In it, one of Hunter's partners wrote to another partner while discussing Joe Biden, "Don't mention Joe being involved, it's only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid." In addition, emails on Hunter's laptop and eyewitness testimony prove beyond all doubt that Joe took actions that accord with textbook definitions of bribery and obstruction of justice to help Hunter accomplish his deals. Yet, major media outlets, big tech companies, so-called fact checkers, former U.S. intelligence officials, and active government officials within the FBI and Department of Justice have played major roles in keeping this information from the public.
