Key points:
“Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.” But the two pages in the report that deal with this transaction are considerably more nuanced, never saying outright that Hunter Biden received this money and making no claim that any laws were broken.
The GOP report itself does not provide evidence to back up the claim that became a talking point — and our reporting has unearthed the best explanation about what really happened. It’s a complicated story, involving a web of corporate entities, that eventually leads to the purchase of millions of dollars worth of real estate in Brooklyn by the Russian billionaire. We found no evidence that Hunter Biden was part of those transactions.
Hunter Biden’s laptop does not contain significant evidence of direct interaction between Hunter Biden and Baturina, according to a review of emails that have been verified by experts working with The Washington Post as well as emails that the experts were unable to verify.
Besides the allegation about Hunter Biden, the GOP report made other claims about payments from Baturina to Rosemont Seneca Thornton. But that part of the report showed sloppiness in the reporting and calls into question the thoroughness of the investigation. The report critically misidentified the recipient, mixing up two entities with virtually the same names.

The military must have made a mistake throwing him out for drug use and it's quite common for foreign governments and businesses to hand out huge sums to this kind of upstanding individual.

verify "The Big Guy". How many times does the word reportedly or suggest (right wing media 2 favorite words) apply in just these 2 paragraphs? Do better.
The term reportedly doesn't always clearly reference the president in the discovered emails, but there are at least two associates in the emails who refer to Joe Biden as "Big Guy." One of the references reportedly goes back as far as 2013.
A 2017 email from Hunter Biden's business associate, James Gilliar, which mentions the "Big Guy," suggests President Joe Biden was secretly involved in an alleged Chinese influence operation he was set to profit from, DailyMail.com says.
dealings. Bottom line, Big tech, the media, and the Dems worked together to bury the Hunter story on an eve of an election. Then there’s the 51 paid partisan hacks that said Russian disinformation. This all played into helping Joe win. So where were the fact checkers back then? Where were they when Joe said during the debates that the Biden’s never made money off of China business dealings? Why is the reporting one sided? I’m sure if the shoe were on the other foot, the story would have been blasted everywhere just like the Russian collusion hoax. The fact checkers are biased towards the Dems. A republican and a dem could both shoot a person. For the republican, the fact checkers would say “true”. For the dem, the fact checker would say “not totally true” and would split hairs to justify that conclusion.
The emails reportedly suggest it, but it's balderdash! Totally the right wing media just making stuff up! Thank you for highlighting the pertinent wording. This just smells like Qanon shenanigans!
Thanks for keeping us all straight on this stuff Quest. I mean really. Bang up job!
All of you!
Not like us though Quest! Only the truth, nothing but the truth. The constant and sustained insinuation and testimonies that the Big Guy is indeed Joe is just crap! Probably some straight up racist shit too! Cracker-assed crackers!
You stay on it boss! You're like a blood hound, sniffing out the righteous truth!
