It doesn't matter, Joe could be strapped into a straight jacket and wheeled off stage at the next debate and the Trump haters would still give him their vote

Joe, “I never discussed my son’s overseas business dealings” Biden with new friends.

Oops! New emails reveal that Hunter was busy in Kazakhstan, too, and guess who met with the intrepid businessmen? (Hunter’s business partner, John Kerry’’s daughter, also cashed in, and got a million dollar “investment” from the same people, but her father’s not running for president)

The Mail can reveal that between 2012 and 2014, Hunter worked as a sort of go-between for Kenes Rakishev, a self-styled 'international businessman, investor and entrepreneur' with close family connections to the kleptocratic regime of his homeland's despotic former president Nursultan Nazarbayev.

(Nazarbayev is a name readers may be familiar with: he's the dictator famed for taking Prince Andrew on occasional goose hunts.)

Emails passed to this newspaper via anti-corruption campaigners from the Central Asian country reveal that Biden Jr held extensive meetings with Rakishev, who was looking to invest a portion of his personal fortune in New York and Washington DC. He also travelled to the Kazakh capital of Astana to hold business discussions.

Hunter Biden then attempted to persuade Rakishev to buy into a Nevadan mining company, brokering a series of meetings with the firm, before convincing him to invest a cool million dollars with Alexandra Forbes Kerry, the film-maker daughter of Democrat Senator and former Presidential candidate John Kerry.

Rakishev, who wrote messages in broken English, appears to have become intimate with the Vice President's son, calling Hunter 'my brother!' and 'my brother from another mother!'.
