Holy smokes is right:
Source close to Trump World texts, “honest question, can the media just ignore this too?”

Before we get too excited, the email is dated after Joe Biden left office and before he announced his run for the Dem nomination:
It’s worth noting that the email was dated May 13, 2017.

But the idea that Hunter was out using his father to get deals done and maybe holding equity in those deals in his own name? Yeah . . .that needs to be investigated further:
🚨🚨🚨
This is truly explosive.Source included on Hunter Biden emails confirms they’re real.
Discussing a Chinese energy company equity split, including “10” for “the big guy.”
“The big guy” is JOE BIDEN, according to source.

And the Biden campaign is going to have to issue a better statement than this:

Over to you, media:
The media CANNOT ignore this for 18 days.
A Source included on Hunter Biden emails confirms they’re real & that “the big guy” is referring to Joe Biden.
“The big guy” aka Joe Biden was listed to get a payout from a Chinese energy company. This is nuts.https://t.co/W9GaXBw8eN
