You can't hate the NY Times and the MSM enough.
As long as 'good old' Joe was running again, they [MSM] ran a protection racket of him and the Biden family.
Now that Joe is [forced] out, they are abandoning them and telling the truth.
What else is the NY Times or the rest of the MSM covering up for Democrats.
Go figure. It's amazing what some actual reporting -- and a withdrawal from a presidential election -- can shake loose, no?
Just four short years ago, we were all assured by the Protection Racket Media that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, and that allegations of influence-peddling by the Bidens were just political dirty tricks, right? Right? Wrong. The New York Times' Ken Vogel reports that Hunter's efforts to sell influence within the administration were well known during Joe Biden's term as Vice President. It's even about Burisma, the company that we were told paid Hunter a lot of money for his energy-industry expertise.
Oh, and the records of it got "withheld" by the Biden administration for "years," too:
Well, we did have records in October 2020. Hunter Biden kept records of these dealings on his laptop, which he abandoned in a repair shop. When the New York Post reported on the contents of the laptop, including a number of emails that made clear he leveraged his fathers office to sell influence at Burisma and elsewhere, the media ignored it -- even though one of Hunter's partners (Tony Bobulinski) publicly authenticated the messages when asked.
Nearly four years later, the NYT gets around to the truth. And if you're questioning the timing, you have good company, because Vogel appears to be somewhat curious about it as well:
Go figure again! It's as if the cover-up extended as long as Joe Biden had electoral interests to protect. Now that Biden has pulled out of the race, there's no need to keep covering up for Biden Inc. We'll get back to timing in a moment, which I'mm sure that's just a coincidence. Right? Er ...
This is still curious as well, though:
Why isn't Hunter getting prosecuted for FARA violations? The Department of Justice got very enthusiastic about pursuing such cases in 2017-2019, as we all can recall now. This is precisely the kind of corrupt activity that FARA is designed to prevent, and that the DoJ is supposed to pursue. Could it be that prosecuting these cases could reveal more corruption in Biden Inc ... perhaps leading to the White House?
We'll probably never see a smoking gun, but it's clear that these Biden Inc schemes only work if Joe Biden is actively engaged in them. That's why the Biden family used almost two dozen LLCs to filter income and payments from their various enterprises, none of which actually produced an independent service or product.

Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, according to newly released records and interviews.
The records, which the Biden administration had withheld for years, indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member.

The department’s release of documents to The New York Times came shortly after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race, and as his son prepares to stand trial next month on charges of evading taxes on millions of dollars in income from Burisma and other foreign businesses.

This is still curious as well, though:
Hunter Biden has not been charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which requires people to disclose when they lobby the U.S. government on behalf of foreign interests.
In a court filing last week, in what was perceived as a pressure move, prosecutors indicated that they did not intend to add a FARA charge, but noted that they had evidence that Mr. Biden had reached out to the State Department on behalf of a different foreign client, a real estate magnate facing corruption charges in Romania. Mr. Biden did not register under FARA as a lobbyist for the Romanian developer or Burisma.
His outreach to the U.S. Embassy in Rome on behalf of Burisma, which has not been previously reported, echoes other episodes for which he has been criticized for implicitly leveraging his father’s political clout to try to advance his foreign business.
