The interesting thing is that the Biden e-mails were not that revealing. The New York Post story's principal point of emphasis was an e-mail by Pozharskiy thanking Hunter Biden for the opportunity to meet with his father. Still, it contained no proof that the meeting ever took place (Joe Biden says there was no meeting, and none was on the official schedule).

In addition, of course, Rudy Giuliani, the guy who passed the Hunter Biden emails to the NYP, had just been on a fishing expedition in Kyiv where he had met with known FSB agents who passed him all kinds of made-up material on Biden/Burisma, hoping it would affect the 2020 election.

It didn't. The material was bogus and from tainted sources. The main source, Andriy Derkach, aka "Ukraine's Putin", fled to Moscow shortly thereafter. One of Rudy's helpers, Lev Parnas, later apologized to the Bidens for his role in faking up misinformation about Biden/Burisma. In addition, Aleksandr Smirnov was sentenced to six years in jail for falsely testifying to the FBI about the same Biden/Burisma bribery allegations. https://www.reuters.com/legal/ex-fbi-informant-who-fabricated-claims-about-bidens-sentenced-6-years-2025-01-08/

So, as usual, it's the Benghazi strategy, where MAGA partisans try to fake up "evidence" to prove evildoing by Democrats. Same old same old.
