Well to be pedantic he listed Lt which is O3, which is a good record for 4 years, on track for further promotion no doubt. The Navy likes to get their Officers up there to Lt pay on their first hitch so that they have an incentive to stay in.
But I'm not going to defend the guy's career further to this crowd. None of you seem particularly qualified to understand why he bothered to mention what he did, those qualifications are impressive and besides already being part of the Officer Corps he has further endorsement as being a smart guy and handling classified material. Those things count in the real world if not here.
O-3 is a Lt in the Navy, but a Captain in the Air Force, Army, and Marine Corp. To make O-3 in 4 years is a really impressive feat. Even in the quick promoting Air Force, it usually takes 8-10 years to make O-3, and often twice that in the Marine Corp. To make O-3 in the Navy in 4 years means the guy was really on his game.
Let's look at what we know:
He's being accused of collaborating with Hunter Biden as his business partner. It's a sinking ship and for him to remain credible, he's got to come clean, tell the entire truth, and retain his integrity by doing so. When he's completely investigated by the FBI and Senate Intel Committee, they will verify that he's telling the truth and he'll likely retain all of his security clearances. If he doesn't clear it up and tell the truth, he may end up under the same criminal indictments that Hunter may be facing at which point his clearances will be toast.
1. Hunter's attorney asked for the hard drive to be returned. They have the letter proving this.
2. The computer guy gave sworn statements and the FBI admitted they've had the hard drive since Dec. 2019. This is criminal on the part of the head of the FBI Chris Wray, because the information on the computer proves that Biden was the criminal all along, and the Trump impeachment was false as Trump was doing the right thing. The laptop would have exonerated Trump and ended the impeachment. Wray had to have known this and will now have to answer why he illegally held that information back.
3. Rupert Murdock and the New York Post went over all of the information and vetted it to prevent themselves from getting sued for libel if they published the material. They deemed it completely credible after pouring over the information and emails for months.
4. Tony Bobulinski, Hunter's business partner is now testifying that the data on the laptop is accurate and he has additional files and emails to prove it
5. Bevin Cooney was another business associate of Hunter and is cooling his heels in a Federal Prison. He only has a month left on his sentence. When this all went down, the Feds moved him from his easy going Club Fed prison to a hard core undisclosed maximum security prison where is reportedly in solitary confinement. They don't want him collaborating anything or getting any information out. He's locked down.
6. James Biden (Hunter's brother) may have implicated Obama's involvement in the scheme, by sending an email to associates potentially referring to Obama.
7. The Ukrainians have a laptop of one of Hunter's coworkers that backs up the information on Hunter's laptop; emails, receipts, etc. They also have all of the information about Joe withholding funds (something they falsely accused Trump of doing) until they fired the Prosecutor who was investigating his son Hunter. Joe bragged about this event on TV.
8. Financial records exist that show that Hunter took $3.5 million from the wife of the ex-Mayor of Moscow. He was traveling with his father and had a Secret Service detail at the time.
9. Hunter took upwards of $1.5 billion from a Chinese investment group with the promise that they would give him half of the equity in the fund, and Joe Biden would receive 10% off the top of any investment returns. He was traveling with his father and had a Secret Service detail at the time.
10. There are upwards of 25,000 pictures on the laptop, including a 12 minute video of Hunter engaging in sex acts with prostitutes while smoking a crack pipe. Those same prostitutes have been implicated in illegal sex trafficking.
11. There are pictures of Hunter naked in the company of a 14 year old female family member
12. There are topless pictures of that same 14 year old female family member and the FBI child porn investigating group is involved as well as the Delaware State Police
13. There are receipts from money received from Burisma, including funds and money laundering through many foreign countries in an attempt to disguise the origin of the funds
14. There is an email where Hunter is complaining about having to relinquish "half" of all funds received to "Pop" and complains to his sibling that it's the standard family arrangement.
15. Hunter was kicked out of the Navy for testing hot for cocaine
16. Hunter turned in a rental car, leaving a crack pipe that tested hot for cocaine, his dead brother's State Attorney General ID which he had allegedly been using, and a couple Secret Service business cards. They swept it under the rug and he was not prosecuted.
This is just the start of it and new information is being released every day. This is credible and verifiable information. Hunter's Attorneys and Joe Biden haven't come up with a statement other than to blame it on Russian disinformation. They don't deny the laptop exists. They are doing hard core damage control, but there is still more to come.
