Report: Washington Post Buried Proof of Joe Biden's Bribery

This written record reveals how Washington really works. Politicians, bureaucrats, and lobbyists manipulate US policy for the benefit of themselves, their families, their clients, and their political allies. And they get away with it because major media outlets like the Washington Post don't report the actual facts to the public.

However, the paper's lead "fact checker" Glenn Kessler, continues to deny that Joe Biden engaged in bribery and obstructed justice—even though the emails prove that he did.

While weaving this tale, Kessler unwittingly raises issues that cement Biden's guilt and implicates the Washington Post in burying the evidence.

The Context

In April 2014, while Joe Biden was the vice-president, he traveled to Ukraine and publicly promised its legislators that the US would help Ukraine increase its fossil fuel production. In the very same month:

• the owner of the largest private natural gas company in Ukraine—a notoriously corrupt oligarch named Nikolai Zlochevskyi—appointed Hunter Biden and one of Hunter's business partners to the company's board.

• the company began making a series of payments totaling at least $3.3 million to a Delaware corporation that gave $708,312 directly to Hunter and $2.5 million to entities associated with Hunter.

• the oligarch's London bank accounts were seized in a money laundering investigation.

• Hunter sent an email to his business claiming that "we will not and cannot intervene directly with domestic policy makers" while setting up a secret communication channel: "Buy a cell phone from a 7/11 or CVS tmrw and ill do the same."

This and other incriminating emails from Hunter Biden's laptop—falsely labeled as "Russian disinformation" by Joe Biden and the media—have been broadly and indisputably verified as authentic.

The Smoking Gun Emails

One year later in April 2015—after the oligarch's company had paid the Delaware corporation at least $2 million—one of the oligarch's top executives met with Hunter and Joe Biden at a restaurant near the White House named Café Milano.

Despite multiple emails proving the meeting happened, the Biden campaign, Kessler, and numerous media outlets cast doubt on this fact until a photo and testimony from one of the attendees confirmed that both Bidens dined that night at Café Milano with the gas company executive and several of Hunter's other business partners.

Seven months after that in November 2015, the same executive sent a graphically incriminating email to Hunter and his partners in which he:

• told them to "proceed immediately" with getting "high-ranking US officials" to "visit" Ukraine and convince "the highest level of decision makers" to "close down" all "cases/pursuits against" the oligarch.

• identified the "President of Ukraine" and the "Prosecutor General" as two of their "key targets."

• reminded them that ending these criminal cases was the "true purpose" and the "ultimate purpose" of their "engagement" and "all our joint efforts."

Hunter's partners then discussed the executive's email among themselves while making clear that Hunter and anonymous high-ranking US officials would handle the matter, writing:

• "I would tell" the executive that we "deliberately" didn't mention the names of the top US officials who will shield the oligarch from prosecution "to be on the safe and cautious side."

• "Hunter, You need to deliver that message."

Hunter then replied to the executive, "Looking forward to getting started on this," and Joe Biden proceeded to do exactly what the emails specified word-for-word:

• Almost "immediately" after the Hunter wrote that he was "getting started," the US Embassy in Ukraine announced eight days later that "Vice President Biden"—a "high-ranking US official"—"will travel to Ukraine" within a month.

• During that trip, Biden pressured "the highest level of decision makers" in Ukraine to fire the nation's chief prosecutor by singling out "key targets" in the email. Biden threatened Ukraine's president and prime minister that he would withhold a US billion-dollar loan guarantee unless the "state prosecutor" was fired. "If the prosecutor is not fired," warned Biden, "you're not getting the money." Biden then bragged, "Well, son of a bitch, he got fired."

• The replacement prosecutor—who Biden called "solid"—then agreed to drop all criminal charges against the oligarch if he paid back taxes and penalties. This led the oligarch to praise the deal, saying that it would allow his company to increase "production" and "attract international companies to Ukraine."

Given the crystal clear words of these emails, the actions of Joe Biden align with textbook definitions of bribery, extortion, and obstruction of justice. Yet, the Washington Post's chief "Fact Checker," Glenn Kessler, is denying these implications.

The Post Knew

Even though Tucker Carlson exposed the first of the smoking gun emails in October 2020, the establishment media completely ignored Carlson's report and the entire cache of related emails for the next 31 months.

During this media blackout, Just Facts found the replies from Hunter and his partners, proving beyond a reasonable doubt in August 2022 that Joe Biden obstructed justice and engaged in bribery.

For nearly a year after that, Just Facts asked dozens of journalists, editors, producers, commentators, and elected officials to address this evidence, but few would. Among those who did were the Bongino Report, radio hosts Eric Metaxas and Rich Valdes, and Just Facts' syndication partners like the the Heartland Institute, Grabien, the Tennessee Star, the Thinking Conservative, Issues & Insights, and Zenger News.

Then in July 2023, Fox News answered the call with an explosive article featured at the top of its website with quotes from Republican lawmakers like these:

• "There can be no doubt about Burisma's motives for paying Hunter Biden millions despite his lack of industry expertise, it's right there in black and white." – Senator Chuck Grassley

• "Putting personal interests ahead of American interests is not just a dishonor of the office, but treasonous. It is a major scandal unprecedented in the annals of our history and the House Oversight and Accountability Committee will investigate and expose as much of the ugly truth as possible." – Congressman Paul Gosar

• "Our President is compromised, he should resign and be forever condemned, and the Democrat Party should begin rebuilding itself." – Congressman Clay Higgins

This prompted the Washington Post to finally acknowledge the emails existed, the first and only major news outlet besides Fox and the New York Post to do so. In the WaPo's article, Kessler reported that the "explosive" emails were "verified by two security experts," hyperlinking to a March 2022 article in the Post as proof of this. This 2022 article reported that the experts verified "some" emails "from Hunter Biden's work" with the "Ukrainian energy company" but that the:

Post's review of these emails found that most were routine communications that provided little new insight into Hunter Biden's work for the company.

That statement is an abject falsehood, as evidenced by the actual content of the emails. These facts show that the Post was aware of the smoking gun emails and knew they were authentic for at least 16 months. Yet, the Post described them as "routine" and failed to report what they contained, effectively burying them.

Nevertheless, Kessler begins his piece by painting Republicans as disingenuous. He does this by writing that "Republican lawmakers expressed outrage" over the "email chain" even though "Tucker Carlson, then a Fox News host, devoted an entire show to this email in October 2020." Kessler claims this proves "the Hunter Biden saga apparently can be endlessly recycled for maximum impact."

To the contrary, Google shows that the media ignored the email chain unearthed by Carlson and Just Facts so broadly that no members of Congress publicly commented on them before the recent Fox News article—more than two years after the existence of the laptop was revealed by the New York Post.

Kessler is also wrong that Carlson devoted an "entire show" to the email. In reality, Carlson spent a portion of one segment on it, or about a seven minutes.

More importantly, Kessler fails to note that Carlson only reported on the first email in the chain, which reveals that the gas company executive wanted Hunter and his partners to stop the criminal cases against the oligarch. The rest of the emails uncovered by Just Facts prove that Hunter and his partners:

• agreed to do what the executive wanted.
• concealed the names of top US officials who would protect the oligarch to "be on the safe and cautious side."
• wrote that only Hunter could credibly promise to convince the officials to protect the oligarch.
