‘Blackmailing The Wrong Number’: Hunter Biden’s Explanation Of ‘Sitting Here With My Father’ Text Defies Logic

 Members of the House Oversight Committee removed first son Hunter Biden from office on Wednesday, and according to subsequent reports, some of the answers provided by the younger Biden raised even more questions.

One topic of interest was a WhatsApp text message – allegedly sent by Hunter Biden to Chinese business partner Henry Zhao on July 30, 2017: “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand that the commitments made will be fulfilled. Why hasn't it happened? Tell the director I'd like to resolve this now, before it gets out of hand, and now that means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the Chairman, I will make sure that the person sitting next to me and everyone he knows and my potential are forever are. Sadly you will regret not following my instructions. I am sitting here with my father waiting for the phone.

According to Axios congressional reporter Stephen Neukem, Hunter Biden's explanation to the committee about that message was as follows: "According to a source with direct knowledge, Hunter Biden said today that when he sent the 'Sitting here with my father' WhatsApp If so, he was drunk or drunk. message, sent it to the wrong recipient, and is now embarrassed by the message. He confirmed that his father was not sitting next to him.

But critics quickly pointed to other evidence, arguing that Hunter Biden's explanation wasn't quite right.

“There is no doubt that Hunter has made this claim, but there are some problems. She was photographed at her father's house on the day she sent the messages. They exchanged several messages with the Chinese recipient, which showed it was not an accident,'' said Chuck Ross of the Washington Free Beacon.

"Hunter Biden threatened 'wrong recipient' and they still sent him $5M+ days later? Wow – what a lucky break!" Brian Anderson added.

“It's definitely weird. Because just three days after the 'sent to the wrong recipient' text, a new company called Hudson West III was officially formed on August 2, 2017. CEFC's associates injected $5,000,000 of capital into the new company," Jeff Carlson posted to X. "Meanwhile, Hunter did not inject any capital into the new venture, although he owned 50 percent of the newly founded company. The operating agreement for Hudson III stipulated that Hunter would receive a $500,000 retainer and $100,000 per month. James Biden received $65,000 per month. This newly formed entity also processed major credit card payments for items purchased by the Biden family. Hunter's private company was paid a total of $4.8 million in just one year. In addition to the $65,000 per month paid to James Biden, payments were also made to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by James.
