‘2000 Mules’ and America’s Open Sore:
Doubts About Election Integrity
By Mark Hendrickson
I watched Dinesh D’Souza’s film “2000
Mules” weeks ago, and I can’t get it out
Of my mind.
I WOULD THINK THAT ANY AMERICAN
, REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL AFFINITIES, WOULD
FIND THIS MOVIE DEEPLY DISTURBING. IF
YOU’RE A DEMOCRAT AND BELIEVE THAT THE
2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS THE
CLEANEST, MOST HONEST ELECTION IN
AMERICAN HISTORY, THEN YOU WILL SEE “2000
MULES” AS THE MOST WICKED SLANDER. IF YOU
THINK THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN, YOU
WILL LOOK AT THE VISUAL EVIDENCE
PRESENTED IN THE FILM AND BE UPSET
ABOUT AT LEAST TWO THINGS—THAT THE
ELECTION WAS COMPROMISED, IF NOT STOLEN,
AND THAT PERPETRATORS OF THAT HEIST ARE
GETTING AWAY WITH IT DESPITE VISUAL
EVIDENCE CATCHING THEM IN THE ACT.
THE SUSPICION OR BELIEF THAT THE ELECTION
WAS STOLEN HAS BEEN GNAWING AT OUR
POLITY SINCE THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION IN
2020. THE JAN. 6 MESS AT THE CAPITOL WAS
THE MOST VISIBLE MANIFESTATION OF THAT
BELIEF, BUT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE
SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT THE ELECTION’S
INTEGRITY. THIS ADDS MEGA-DOSES TO THE
PARTISAN POISON THAT IS WRACKING OUR
BODY POLITIC.
AT PRESENT, “2000 MULES” IS EXACERBATING
THE PARTISAN DIVIDE. D’SOUZA EXTRAPOLATES
THE ALLEGED FINDINGS OF TRUE THE VOTE AND
MAKES IT APPEAR THAT IT’S A MATHEMATICAL
CERTAINTY THAT THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION WAS STOLEN. BUT WHAT CAN BE
DONE? AS WAS SO PAINFULLY EVIDENT IN THE
DISQUIETING DAYS BETWEEN ELECTION DAY
AND JAN. 6, OUR CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM HAS
NO MECHANISM OR PRESCRIBED PROCEDURE
FOR REVIEWING AND POSSIBLY OVERTURNING A
NATIONAL ELECTION.
OUR COUNTRY HAS A HUGE NEED FOR
RESOLUTION AND CLOSURE ON THE ISSUE OF
100 ELECTORAL FRAUD IN NOVEMBER 2020. IT’S
TOO LATE TO REVERSE THAT ELECTION, EVEN IF
PROOF OF SUCH CHEATING EVENTUALLY
EMERGES ON A SCALE WHEN EVEN SOME
DEMOCRATS CONCEDE THAT THE ELECTION
REALLY WAS STOLEN. THE MOST PRESSING
NEED NOW IS TO REPLACE THE CURRENT
WIDESPREAD DISTRUST IN ELECTION INTEGRITY
WITH CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE ELECTORAL
FAIRNESS.
I BELIEVE THAT “2000 MULES” HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO PUSH US CLOSER TO AT LEAST
PARTIAL RESOLUTION IF IT IMPELS LEGAL
AUTHORITIES TO EITHER VERIFY OR DEBUNK
THE MANY SCENES IN THE MOVIE THAT DEPICT
WHAT APPEAR TO BE BLATANT INSTANCES OF
ILLEGAL BALLOTING. THOSE SCENES ARE
POWERFUL, BUT THE KEY QUESTION IS: CAN IT
BE PROVED THAT THESE REALLY WERE ILLEGAL
ACTIONS, OR WERE THOSE SCENES SOMEHOW
FAKED OR MISCHARACTERIZED?
ATTORNEYS GENERAL AND SECRETARIES OF
STATE IN THE FIVE STATES FOCUSED ON IN THE
MOVIE—ARIZONA, GEORGIA, PENNSYLVANIA,
MICHIGAN, AND WISCONSIN—SHOULD CONDUCT
FORMAL INVESTIGATIONS, HEARINGS, AND
TRIALS TO ADJUDICATE THE ALLEGATIONS THAT
D’SOUZA AND COMPANY MADE IN THE FILM. IF
NOTHING IS DONE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE
ALLEGEDLY NEFARIOUS ACTIONS DEPICTED IN
THE FILM ARE SOUND OR BOGUS, THEN
MILLIONS WILL APPROACH THE 2024 ELECTION
CONVINCED THAT ELECTORAL FRAUD CAN BE
COMMITTED WITH IMPUNITY. THINK ABOUT IT: IF
PEOPLE CAN BE CAUGHT ON FILM CHEATING
AND NOBODY EVEN ATTEMPTS TO BRING THEM
TO JUSTICE, WON’T THAT JUST ENCOURAGE
SUCH CHEATING ON AN EVEN LARGER SCALE
IN THE NEXT ELECTION? THESE CASES OF
ALLEGED FRAUD SIMPLY MUST BE
INVESTIGATED BY THE PROPER LEGAL
AUTHORITIES. TO NEGLECT TO DO SO WOULD BE
EGREGIOUSLY IRRESPONSIBLE.
AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS IT MAY BE, ONE SIDE OR
THE OTHER IS WRONG ABOUT THE 2020
ELECTION, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
DESERVE TO KNOW WHICH SIDE IT IS. CAN
D’SOUZA’S FILM BE DEBUNKED? I HAVE READ
THAT AT LEAST ONE SO-CALLED MULE WAS
MERELY DROPPING OFF BALLOTS FOR FIVE OR
SIX FAMILY MEMBERS. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
CELL PHONE PINGS SHOWING THESE MULES
VISITING MULTIPLE BALLOT BOX LOCATIONS
, NOT TO MENTION THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT
OFFICES WHERE THEY ALLEGEDLY RECEIVED
BALLOTS? THE “PING TRAIL” SEEMS
CONVINCING. BUT IS IT IRREFUTABLE PROOF, OR
ARE THERE OTHER POSSIBLE WAYS TO
INTERPRET THE PING PATTERNS? THERE ARE
THREE POSSIBLE CONCLUSIONS THAT A
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION COULD LEAD TO: (1)
THAT THE PINGS PROVE THAT MULES VISITED
MULTIPLE BALLOT BOXES; (2) THAT THE
CONCLUSION DRAWN BY THE FILMMAKERS IS
ONE OF SEVERAL PLAUSIBLE POSSIBILITIES,
HENCE NOT CONCLUSIVE PROOF; (3) THAT THE
PING DATA RECORDS WERE MISUSED, EITHER
INNOCENTLY OR DELIBERATELY. WE, THE
PEOPLE, DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT
THE PINGS, AND IF, BY CHANCE, IT CAN BE
PROVED THAT THE FILMMAKERS WRONGLY
USED THE DATA, THEN THEY SHOULD BE
DISCREDITED AND, IF IT WAS DONE
MALICIOUSLY, THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
ON THE OTHER HAND, IF INVESTIGATIONS
CONVINCINGLY PROVE THAT THERE WAS INDEED
WIDESPREAD ILLEGAL MISCHIEF PERPETRATED
BY MULES IN COLLUSION WITH NOT-FOR-
PROFITS, THEN THE GUILTY INDIVIDUALS
SHOULD BE PUNISHED. IT NEEDS TO BECOME
COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT PEOPLE WHO
SUBMIT FRAUDULENT BALLOTS WILL PAY A
PRICE FOR SUCH MISCHIEF. IT WON’T UNDO
2020, BUT IT SURELY WILL DETER OTHERS FROM
COMMITTING SUCH MISCHIEF IN FUTURE
ELECTIONS.
A DIGRESSION: WHAT WOULD BE A “FAIR PRICE”
FOR SOMEONE TO PAY FOR CHEATING AND
POSSIBLY STEALING A U.S. PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION? PERSONALLY, I FIND A JAIL
SENTENCE LESS THAN SATISFYING. JAILS ARE
SUCH VILE PLACES, DUMPSTERS FIT ONLY FOR
SUCH SUBHUMAN CREATURES AS MURDERERS
AND RAPISTS. NOR WOULD I BE ENTHUSED
ABOUT ASSESSING BIG FINES. OUR RAPACIOUS
GOVERNMENTS ALREADY SPEND AND TAKE TOO
MUCH MONEY. MY FAVORED PUNISHMENT ISN’T
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, AND IT WOULD BE
IMMENSELY CONTROVERSIAL, BUT MAYBE WE
SHOULD THINK ABOUT INTRODUCING IT IN THIS
COUNTRY. I AM REFERRING TO THE ANCIENT
ATHENIAN PRACTICE OF EXILING
MALEFACTORS. IN MY EYES, SOMEONE WILLING
TO TRY TO STEAL AN ELECTION DOESN’T
BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN VALUES OF
HONESTY, FAIR ELECTIONS, THE SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY, AND THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
(AS LIMITED BY THE CONSTITUTION). IN OTHER
WORDS, SUCH A MISCREANT ISN’T A TRUE
AMERICAN. SO, SHIP THEM OFF SOMEWHERE
(WITH THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS INTACT) MAYBE
TO A PLACE WHERE UNDEMOCRATIC PRACTICES
PREVAIL—RUSSIA, CHINA, CUBA, OR
VENEZUELA COME TO MIND. OK, OK, THAT MAY
BE CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT RUNNING
AFOUL OF THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT. MAYBE WE
COULD GET CANADA OR NEW ZEALAND TO TAKE
THEM OFF OUR HANDS.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: TO IGNORE “2000
MULES” AS IF NOTHING IRREGULAR HAPPENED
IN THE 2020 ELECTION WOULD BE A MISTAKE. IT
WILL ALLOW THE OPEN WOUND OF DOUBTS
ABOUT THAT ELECTION’S INTEGRITY TO
CONTINUE TO FESTER. AS DISTASTEFUL AS THE
TASK MIGHT BE, DULY CONSTITUTED OFFICIALS
NEED TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE WHAT
D’SOUZA’S FILM CLAIMS, FERRET OUT THE
TRUTH, AND CALL TO ACCOUNT WHOEVER IT IS
WHO HAS BEEN TRYING TO DECEIVE OR CHEAT
US. WE HAVE TO RESTORE TRUST IN OUR
ELECTIONS.

SAME THING HAPPENED HERE IN SAVANNAH:
+++
NYC prosecutors quitting their woke
Bosses' offices "in droves"
BY JAZZ SHAW
DESPITE REFORM EFFORTS INTENDED TO
CRACK
DOWN ON CRIME PUT IN PLACE BY NEW YORK
CITY MAYOR ERIC ADAMS, WE RECENTLY
LEARNED THAT THE NYPD IS STILL LOSING
POLICE OFFICERS AT AN ALARMING PACE. IN
THEIR EXIT INTERVIEWS, MANY OF THE
DEPARTING COPS CITED THE FACT THAT
THE CRIMINALS THEY MANAGE TO ARREST ARE
GENERALLY BACK OUT ON THE STREETS THE
NEXT DAY THANKS TO THE SOFT-ON-CRIME
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AND PROSECUTORS IN
THE BIG APPLE. NOW, IN WHAT MAY SEEM LIKE A
BIT OF IRONY, IT’S BEEN REVEALED THAT
GOTHAM IS LOSING PROSECUTORS AT A
SIMILAR PACE THROUGH EITHER
RESIGNATIONS OR EARLY RETIREMENT. AND
THE REASONS GIVEN BY MANY OF THEM SOUND
SUSPICIOUSLY SIMILAR TO THOSE OFFERED BY
THE DEPARTING COPS. (NY POST)
THE NUMBER OF PROSECUTORS FLEEING THE
CITY’S DISTRICT ATTORNEYS’ OFFICES HAS
SPIRALED IN THE WAKE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE
REFORMS THAT HAVE CREATED WHAT ONE EX-
TOP PROSECUTOR CALLED “INSANITY.”
SIXTY-FIVE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, OR
ABOUT 12 PERCENT OF THE STAFF, HAVE
RESIGNED SO FAR THIS YEAR FROM
MANHATTAN DA ALVIN BRAGG’S OFFICE, UP
FROM ABOUT 44 THROUGH THE END OF MARCH.
DURING ALL OF 2021, 97 ADAS QUIT…
WHEN BRAGG TOOK THE HELM OF THE
MANHATTAN OFFICE IN JANUARY, AT LEAST
NINE LAWYERS QUIT IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS,
THE POST REVEALED.
THE TREND CAN DEFINITELY BE TRACED BACK
TO THE DAY THAT MANHATTAN DISTRICT
ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG WAS SWORN IN. HE
ISSUED A NOW-INFAMOUS “DAY ONE MEMO”
DESCRIBING HOW HE WAS GOING TO
PROSECUTE AS FEW PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND
NOT KEEP PEOPLE BEHIND BARS IF IT COULD
BE AVOIDED. AS NOTED ABOVE, NINE
PROSECUTORS QUIT HIS OFFICE IN THE FIRST
TWO WEEKS. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS LATER,
SIXTY-FIVE PROSECUTORS HAVE DEPARTED
. THAT ADDS UP TO MORE THAN 10 PERCENT OF
THEIR ENTIRE ROSTER OF PROSECUTORS
THE NEW AND EQUALLY WOKE BROOKLYN DA
ERIC GONZALEZ HAS PRODUCED THE SAME
SORT OF EXODUS. 67 OF THE ROUGHLY 500
PROSECUTORS THERE HAVE QUIT. THEY
REPRESENTED 13% OF THE AVAILABLE
PROSECUTORS. THE BRONX DA’S OFFICE LOST
ALMOST SIXTY AS WELL.
NOT ALL OF THE DEPARTING PROSECUTORS ARE
SOLELY BLAMING THE WOKE DAS, HOWEVER.
THEY ARE CASTING BLAME ON THE STATE
GOVERNMENT’S LEGISLATURE ALSO. NEW
CRIMINAL JUSTICE “REFORM” LAWS REQUIRE
PROSECUTORS TO TURN OVER REAMS OF
MATERIAL TO DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ON A
COMPRESSED SCHEDULE. THOSE RULES
RECENTLY RESULTED IN A SERIAL STABBER
FROM THE BLOODS STREET GANG BEING
RELEASED FROM JAIL YET AGAIN AFTER
ATTACKING ANOTHER VICTIM. OTHER SIMILAR
CASES WERE CITED BY SOME OF THE
DEPARTING DAS.
THIS IS TURNING INTO A VICIOUS CYCLE. THE
COPS ARE LEAVING BECAUSE THE CRIMINALS
AREN’T BEING KEPT BEHIND BARS BY THE
PROSECUTORS. SOME OF THE PROSECUTO
RS ARE LEAVING BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT BEING
ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOBS. AND SOME OF
THE PROSECUTORS WHO WERE WILLING TO
STICK AROUND AND AT LEAST TRY ARE BEING
IMPEDED BY THE STATE’S WOKE “CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM” LAWS.
YOU KNOW WHERE THAT LEAVES US, RIGHT?
EVEN IF YOU ARREST EVERY GANGBANGER OUT
THERE EVERY DAY, IF YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH
PROSECUTORS TO HANDLE THE CASE LOAD,
THEY’RE GOING TO BE TOSSED BACK OUT ON
THE STREETS ANYWAY. THE LONGER THIS
PATTERN HAS CONTINUED, THE MORE WE’VE
SEEN THAT IT’S NOT JUST THE COPS AND THE
PROSECUTORS WHO ARE LEAVING. THE LAW-
ABIDING CITIZENS WHO YOU CAN NO LONGER
PROTECT ARE BAILING OUT AS WELL. IF THAT
GOES ON LONG ENOUGH YOU’RE GOING TO
HAVE A CITY POPULATED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY
BY CRIMINALS AND POLITICIANS. AND IT’S
ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO TELL THEM APART
AS IT IS.

NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE DETAILING THE
YOUNGER BIDEN’S DEALINGS WITH A CHINESEOIL TYCOON ACCUSED OF ECONOMIC CRIMES –
TELLING HIM, “I THINK YOU’RE
CLEAR,” ACCORDING TO A REPORT MONDAY.
INFAMOUS DISCARDED LAPTOP, WOULD APPEAR
TO CONTRADICT PRESIDENT BIDEN’S CONTINUED DENIAL THAT HE EVER
HIS OVERSEAS BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
— AND WAS AWARE THEY COULD BE IMPROPER.
“HEY PAL, IT’S DAD,” JOE BIDEN SAID, THE DAILY
MAIL REPORTED. “IT’S 8:15 ON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. IF YOU GET A CHANCE JUST GIVE ME A
CALL. NOTHING URGENT. I JUST WANTED TO
TALK TO YOU.”BIDEN THEN MADE HIS
INTENTIONS CLEAR.
“I THOUGHT THE ARTICLE RELEASED ONLINE
, IT’S GOING TO BE PRINTED TOMORROW IN THE
TIMES, WAS GOOD,” BIDEN CONTINUED. “I
THINK YOU’RE CLEAR. AND ANYWAY IF YOU GET
A CHANCE GIVE ME A CALL, I LOVE YOU.”
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ATTENDS THE G7
LEADERS' SUMMIT AT CASTLE ELMAU IN ELMAU,
NEAR GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, GERMANY,
MONDAY, JUNE 27, 2022. JOE BIDEN
REPORTEDLY SPOKE TO HUNTER ABOUT HIs
DEALINGS WITH A CHINESE OIL TYCOON
ACCUSED OF ECONOMIC CRIMES.LUKAS
BARTH/POOL VIA APPHONE BACKUP CONTAINED ON HUNTER
BIDEN’S INFAMOUS DISCARDED LAPTOP.
DURING A CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE IN IOWA IN
SEPTEMBER 2019, JOE BIDEN SAID, “I HAVE
NEVER SPOKEN TO MY SON ABOUT HIS
OVERSEAS BUSINESS DEALINGS.” HIS FORMER
PRESS SECRETARY, JEN PSAKI, AND HIS CHIEF
OF STAFF, RON KLAIN, HAVE BOTH REPEATEDLY
ECHOED THAT SENTIMENT.
THE UNEARTHED VOICE MESSAGE RENEWED
CALLS FOR A PROBE OF THE NOW-PRESIDENT’S
HANDLING AND KNOWLEDGE OF HIS SON’S
OVERSEAS DEALINGS.
“JOE BIDEN SAID HE ‘NEVER SPOKE’ WITH
HUNTER ABOUT HIS BUSINESS DEALINGS. THAT
ISSIMPLY NOT TRUE. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT
JOE BIDEN KNEW AND WHEN HE KNEW IT,” REP
. ELISE STEFANIK (R-NY), THE NO. 3 REPUBLICAN
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOLD
THE POST MONDAY.
“THIS VOICEMAIL IS JUST THE TIP OF THE
ICEBERG WHEN IT COMES TO THE EVIDENCE
MOUNTING AGAINST THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY.
WHEN REPUBLICANS TAKE BACK CONGRESS,
WE WILL USE OUR CONGRESSIONAL POWER OF
OVERSIGHT TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH FOR
EVERY AMERICAN AS A MATTER OF NATIONAL
SECURITY.”
THE BIDEN VOICEMAIL FOLLOWED A TIMES
REPORT ON DEC. 12, 2018, DETAILING HUNTER’S
DEALINGS WITH YE JIANMING, A “FAST-RISING”
CHINESE OIL TYCOON WHO HEADED
CEFC CHINA ENERGY COMPANY IN 2016 BEFORE
BEING ARRESTED TWO YEARS LATER AMID
ALLEGATIONS OF ECONOMIC CRIMES.
THE POST REPORTED IN APRIL THAT YE, WHO
WAS NAMED NO. 2 ON THE FORBES “40 UNDER
40” LIST IN 2016, HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE HIS
ARREST AND MANY OF THE NOW-BANKRUPT
COMPANY’S ASSETS WERE SEIZED BY THE
GOVERNMENT.
IN OCTOBER 2020, EMAILS FIRST OBTAINED BY
THE POST SHOWED THAT ONE OF HUNTER
BIDEN’SBUSINESS PARTNERS, JAMES GILLIAR,
OUTLINED THE PROPOSED PERCENTAGE
DISTRIBUTION OF EQUITY IN THE COMPANY.
THE PLAN INCLUDED A PROPOSED 10 PERCENT
SHARE FOR HUNTER FOR “THE BIG GUY,” AN
APPARENT REFERENCE TO JOE BIDEN, WHO
WAS THEN THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT, ACCORDING TO ANOTHER FORMER
HUNTER BIDEN PARTNER, US NAVY VETERAN
TONY BOBULINKSI.
“I HAVE HEARD JOE BIDEN SAY HE HAS NEVER
DISCUSSED HIS DEALINGS WITH HUNTER,”
BOBULINSKI HAS SAID. “THAT IS FALSE.”
BUT FILES FROM HUNTER’S ABANDONED LAPTOP
SHOW HE STRUCK A DEAL WORTH MILLIONS
WITH CEFC AFTER TOUTING HIS DEEP AND
MONIED FAMILY CONNECTIONS. ONE OF YE’S
TOP LIEUTENANTS, PATRICK HO, WAS ALSO
CONVICTED IN NEW YORK OF BRIBING AFRICA
OFFICIALS TO HELP IRAN EVADE OIL
SANCTIONS.
THE TIMES REPORTED IN 2018 THAT HO CALLED
JOE’S BROTHER, JAMES BIDEN, FOLLOWING
HIS ARREST, BUT JAMES TOLD THE NEWSPAPER
HE BELIEVED THE CALL WAS ACTUALLY
MEANT FOR HUNTER BIDEN. JAMES BIDEN SAID
HE PASSED ON HIS NEPHEW’S CONTACT INFO,
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT.
“THERE IS NOTHING ELSE I HAVE TO SAY,” JAMES
BIDEN TOLD THE NEWSPAPER IN 2018. “I
DON’T WANT TO BE DRAGGED INTO THIS
ANYMORE.”
THROUGH AN ATTORNEY, HUNTER BIDEN
DECLINED TO COMMENT FOR THE 2018 REPORT,
WHICH INDICATED IT WAS UNCLEAR WHETHER
HE STRUCK ANY BUSINESS DEALS WITH CEFC
OR YE.
BUT THE NEWLY DISCOVERED VOICEMAIL
, FOUND ON A BACKUP OF HUNTER’S IPHONE XS
STORED ON HIS LAPTOP THAT THE POST FIRST
REVEALED, SEEMINGLY CONTRADICTS
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S REPEATED DENIALS.
HUNTER’S FRIENDS, MEANWHILE, RIBBED HIM
ABOUT JAMES BIDEN’S COMMENT TO THE TIM
ES LINKING HIM TO HO. DEVON ARCHER, A
FORMER BUSINESS PARTNER SENTENCED TO A
YEAR AND A DAY IN PRISON IN FEBRUARY FOR
DEFRAUDING A NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBE,
TEXTED HIM THE NEXT DAY, THE DAILY MAIL
REPORTED.
“NICE QUOTE FROM UNCLE JIMMY,” ARCHER
TEXTED HUNTER BIDEN. “I HOPE YOU THANKED
HIM FOR THAT.”
HUNTER REPLIED: “TOOK IT TOTALLY OUT OF
CONTEXT [ACTUALLY] THE TEXT ITSELF THAT IT
WAS SAID IN. EITHER WAY YEAH I’M DELIGHTED.”
HIM A $1 MILLION RETAINER TO REP HIM AS
HIS ATTORNEY, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT.
FEDERAL AGENTS AT THE TIME WERE
MONITORING HO AS A POTENTIAL SPY FOR
CHINA AND HUNTER ACCIDENTALLY RECORDED
HIMSELF REFERRING TO HO AS THE “SPY CHIEF
OF CHINA,” THE DAILY MAIL REPORTED.
“I HAVE ANOTHER NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER
CALLING ABOUT MY REPRESENTATION OF THE
, LITERALLY, DR. PATRICK HO – THE F—KING SPY
CHIEF OF CHINA WHO STARTED THE
COMPANY THAT MY PARTNER [YE], WHO IS
WORTH $323 BILLION, FOUNDED AND IS NOW
MISSING,” HUNTER REPORTEDLY TOLD A
FEMALE FRIEND IN MAY 2018. “THE RICHEST
MAN IN THE WORLD IS MISSING, WHO WAS MY
PARTNER.”
THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY
RETURN A MESSAGE SEEKING COMMENT
MONDAY.
TEXT MESSAGES ON HUNTER’S LAPTOP ALSO
REVEAL HE BEGAN PANICKING WHEN THE NEW
YORK TIMES STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS AS
TO WHY HO CALLED JAMES BIDEN LOOKING
FOR HIM.
OTHER MESSAGES ALSO SHOWED HUNTER’S
ATTORNEY, GEORGE MESIRES, BOASTING
ABOUT STEERING TIMES REPORTER DAVID
BARBOZA AWAY FROM HUNTER AND JAMES’
INVOLVEMENT WITH CEFC.
“BARBOZA SAID THAT THERE IS ‘VERY LITTLE
ABOUT HUNTER’” IN THE STORY, MESIRES
WROTE.THERE WAS MORE GOOD NEWS
, ACCORDING TO MESIRES.
“NO REFERENCE TO JOE BIDEN SPECIFICALLY
RELATIVE TO CFEC’S EFFORTS,” MESIRES
TEXTED.HUNTER BIDEN LATER PRAISED
MESIRES FOR HIS EFFORTS, TEXT MESSAGES
SHOW.
“YOU DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF KEEPING THIS
BASICALLY TO A BIG FAT NOTHING,” HUNTER
TOLD HIM IN ONE MESSAGE.
“AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK PEOPLE
JADEDLY SAY, ‘THIS IS HOW THE WORLD
WORKS,’” MESIRES REPLIED
HUNTER BIDEN REMAINS UNDER FEDERAL
INVESTIGATION FOR POSSIBLE TAX FRAUD
STEMMING FROM HIS OVERSEAS BUSINESS
DEALINGS. HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE SAID
THEY WANT HIS LONGTIME PARTNER ERIC
SCHWERIN TO TURN OVER DOCUMENTS THEY
BELIEVE LINK THE PRESIDENT TO THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS.
