I find it interesting that no one on here wants to acknowledge that Hunter Biden did admit that "The Bug Guy" is in fact Joe. But hey ... I'm sure those emails were written when he was high on drugs and didn't actually know what he was saying when he made sure 10% went to said "Big Guy."

I only see Hunter denying ever having used that term with regard to his father and pointing out that he didn't know what the email writer who used the term was talking about.

Of the guy who wrote that email, Tony Bobulinksi, Hunter pointed out:

And that's why Tony is a bitter, bitter man that did not get in on a deal that he wanted to get in on, because I thought that he was both incompetent and an idiot. And he's proved himself to be so by the complete misstatements that he's made. I do know that Tony said that he was never at a meeting with Mark Meadows at a rally in, I forget where it was in Missouri and that he never wore a ski mask until the next day you get a picture with Mr. Meadows behind a car with Tony Bobulinski with a ski mask.

Oh, sorry I think the email was from James Giliar to Hunter and Tony but Tony testified to Congress earlier about the email and Hunter was pointing out that you couldn't believe everything Tony testified to:

It's from James Gilliar to Tony Bobulinski. Rob Walker and yourself. Have you seen this email before?

I have. I've seen it, I think, as we all have, 8,642,300 times.

Yeah, one guy--Gilliar--used the term in an email he sent to Bobulinski:

I want to come back to exhibit 16, which is the last exhibit my Republican 7colleagues introduced, the email from James Gilliar to Tony Bobulinski, cc'ing Rob Walker and you, in which he has that question at the end, "10 held by H for the big guy?"

One person referenced "the big guy" in an email.

As far as I can tell, Tony didn't mention the term in an email, only in his comments to Congress and elsewhere, which is why Hunter pointed out that Tony has been known to lie.

Pg 117-118.
Asked if BigGuy was father...
Hunter never says no. But says his father has never been a part of his business dealing.
Implying that yes BigGuy is his father.

No, Hunter doesn't imply any such thing. Here is what Hunter said on pp 117-18:

Q One final question, because our round is up, I know everyone's disappointed 20 by that. 21 But the reference to the big guy, you would agree, is a reference to your father?

A I truly don't know what the hell that James was talking about. All I know is that what actually happened. All I know is that what was executed in the agreement, and the agreement didn't have anything to do with my father. My father's never been involved with my business. He's never benefited from my business, and he's never taken an action to benefit me or 2 any of my business.

A couple of other things about the big guy email: 1) it was sent on May 13, 2017 when Joe Biden was neither in office nor running for office, and 2) the email Gilliar sent to Tony B was preceded by a text message exchange on May 11 , 2017 between the two of them where they strategize on how to get the business deal pushed through before trying to get Hunter to bring his dad into the mix. pg 123:

Q And then there's this other text message from James Gilliar, exhibit 18, in which he tells Mr. Bobulinski, "Later Bro. Man, you are right. Let's get the company set up. Then tell H and family the high stakes and get Joe involved." Now were you aware on May 11th at the time these text messages were being sent that Mr. Gilliar and Mr. Bobulinski were having this conversation?

A Absolutely not.

Q And is it clear from reading this that what they appear to be discussing between themselves behind your back is a plan to try to convince to you get your father, Joe Biden, involved?

A It appears that that's the case.

Bottom line:

From the text and emails in evidence it looks to me like that Tony B and Gilliar were the ones hoping/trying to get Joe Biden to enter into the deal with them. They are the ones who came up the the idea and then tried to get Hunter to agree to the plan.

His argument's rot.
