"10% for the Big Guy" is on Hunter's Laptop. It's part of the "payout structure" of Hunter's Company.

Storing,

"10 held by H for the big guy?" was a proposal in an email from one of Hunter's business associates at the time, James Gilliar, a British guy who's as shady as the day is long.

Background:

The House Oversight and Accountability and Judiciary committees, which were conducting an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, obtained an email in which James Gilliar, a business associate of Hunter Biden, discussed the possible equity for the partners in a business deal that involved Hunter and CEFC, a Chinese energy conglomerate, and referenced, “10 held by H for the big guy?”.

Republicans on the committee pointed to this as evidence that Joe Biden had a financial stake in his son’s overseas business deals. But as we wrote, the final draft agreement setting up the venture made no mention of Joe Biden.

“I would like to clear up any speculation that former Vice President Biden was involved with the 2017 discussions about our potential business structure,” Gilliar told the Wall Street Journal in 2020. “I am unaware of any involvement at any time of the former vice president. The activity in question never delivered any project revenue.”

In his testimony on Feb. 28, Hunter Biden was asked if “the big guy” was a reference to his father.

“I truly don’t know what the hell that James [Gilliar] was talking about,” Biden said. “All I know is that what actually happened. All I know is that what was executed in the agreement, and the agreement didn’t have anything to do with my father. My father’s never been involved with my business. He’s never benefited from my business, and he’s never taken an action to benefit me or any of my business.”

Biden said it was likely “pie in the sky” thinking by Gilliar, “Like Joe Biden’s out of the office. Maybe we’ll be able to get him involved. Remember, again, is that Joe Biden, for first time in 48 years, is not an elected official and is not seeking office. And so James is probably, like, wow, wouldn’t be great if a former vice president could be in our business together? And I say you’re out of your mind. My dad knows less about doing cross-border blah, blah, blah, than he does about — I mean, it’s just ridiculous. It’s absolutely ridiculous.” ... “And so I shut it down, and the evidence of me shutting it down is the actual things you have as evidence,” Biden said. “Remember that. The agreement, the executed agreement, the executed agreement to create a company that was never operated, that’s what happened. That’s the evidence you have. You have the evidence of the executed agreement between Hudson West Three, me, and Mr. Ye. You have that. Nothing to do with my dad, zero.”

FWIW, I asked Grok:

In the email that James Gilliar sent to Hunter Biden that mentioned "10 held by H for the big guy," did the sentence have a question mark at the end, i.e., "10 held by H for the big guy?"

Grok's answer:

Yes, the sentence in the email sent by James Gilliar to Hunter Biden on May 13, 2017, regarding the proposed equity split for a business venture with CEFC China Energy, included a question mark at the end. The exact phrasing, as reported by multiple sources, is: "10 held by H for the big guy?" This question mark indicates that the statement was posed as a question or suggestion, rather than a definitive assertion.

Storing,

Perhaps you missed this on the "Republicans" star witness, Tony "Big Bozo" Bobulinski:

And I almost forgot about Alexander Smirnov. You remember him, don't you?

A friendly bit of advice for Herr Storing:

Maybe you should concentrate on trying to prove your Kremlin-approved "Huge Gates" theory, instead?

LOL!

Herr Schicklgruber I mean Herr Smith,

Ghislaine Maxwell told Todd Blanche she didn't commit the crimes for which she is incarcerated.

Do you believe her?

If not, why, then, would you believe what she says about anything?

"If she had anything on Italian Mafia-connected and Russian Mafia-connected Trump, she would have snitched on him during the Biden Administration."

Really?

Regarding "Russia Collusion," google the names "stone" "schlanger" and "caddy" simultaneously.

But here's the thing:

Whether or not The Traitorous Orange Bird (rhymes with "Xxxx") colluded with your boy, "former" KGB officer Vladimir Putin, to get "elected," the fact remains that your boy, "former" KGB officer Vladimir Putin, waged a widespread hacking and influence campaign to ensure that Clinton would lose and that The Traitorous Orange Bird (rhymes with "Xxxx") would "win."

Republican Robert Mueller and the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committe both arrived at that conclusion.

Perhaps you missed their reports because you were too busy reading Ayn Rand, "The Daily Stormer," and the latest "Q drops," or some-such thing.

The old circle of lunacy.  Comrade Tomsky suggests that anything that is said that he doesn't like is a lie.  Not only that but that the lie itself is the proof of a conspiracy.  Therefore, even a denial of Trump's involvement is confirmation of his involvement.  And his logic is amusing.  Maxwell is lying about her own involvement.  Implying that she had detailed firsthand knowledge of Epstein's crimes.  In which case she should know if Trump was involved.  She says he wasn't.  Another Trump conspiracy melts away like the snow.

Neville Chamberlain couldn't have said it any better.

You might check your history books comrade.  Chamberlain made a deal in an attempt to AVOID a war.  The war in Ukraine has been going on for years.  Ukraine does not have the capability, as the Allies did during WWII, to defeat the enemy.  At best, they can create a stalemate that goes on year after year (as it already has) killing thousands and costing billions.  There is no end game, however.  It is endless war of the type waged in places like Vietnam and Afghanistan.  The sunk costs pile up making it more and more difficult for the politicians to admit a mistake.  Eventually the will to wage the war ends with the same settlement that could have been achieved years beforehand.

Dear Herr Schicklgruber I mean Herr Smith,

Whether or not the likes of Roger "I Have a Back Channel to Trump" Stone colluded (either on his own or with the help of someone like pro-Russia Harley Schlanger of the Lyndon LaRouche organization) with "former" KGB officer Vladimir Putin to get The Traitorous Orange Bird (rhymes with "Xxxx") "elected," the fact remains that "former" KGB* officer Putin waged a widespread hacking and Internet-based influence operation during the 2016 campaign to ensure not only that Hillary Clinton would lose, but that the compromised-by-KGB* Traitorous Orange Bird (rhymes with "Xxxx") would "win."

Why do you suppose that was, Herr Schicklgruber I mean Herr Smith?

  Hillary lost because she was a horribly flawed candidate. Collapsing into the gutter, calling 1/2 the electorate "deplorable", along with basically being a Shrew. She financed the Trump/Russia Conspiracy, and I'm not even gonna get into her Vince Foster stuff. Horrible person.

The QAnon-zombified MAGATs who stormed the Capitol on 1/6 are deplorable, Storing.

Were you there, by any chance?

Did Hillary and Bill murder Vince Foster?

Did The Traitorous Orange Bird (rhymes with "Xxxx") make fun of a physically handicapped journalist during the campaign?
