NY Post’s ‘smoking gun’ Hunter Biden email 100% authentic, forensic analysis concludes

By Andrew Kerr

An email Hunter Biden received in April 2015 from a Burisma executive discussing an introduction to then-Vice President Joe Biden, which lies at the heart of a New York Post investigation, is unquestionably authentic, a cybersecurity expert told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday.

The DCNF obtained a full copy of Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday. The DCNF provided Robert Graham, the founder of the cybersecurity firm Errata Security, with a copy of the email and its metadata for forensic analysis.

Graham, who has been cited as a cybersecurity expert in The Washington Post, the Associated Press, Wired, Engadget and other news and technology outlets, told the DCNF that he used a cryptographic signature found in the email’s metadata to validate that Vadym Pozharsky, an advisor to Burisma’s board of directors, emailed Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015.

In the email, Pozharsky thanked Hunter Biden for “inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together.”

The New York Post first reported the email in October, describing it as a “smoking-gun” showing that Hunter Biden had introduced his father to the Burisma executive in 2015.

The email was sent less than a year before Joe Biden pressured former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire a prosecutor who was reportedly investigating the gas company in return for a $1 billion loan guarantee.

Graham previously told the DCNF that emails sent from Gmail, such as Pozharski’s message to Hunter Biden, can be “absolutely verified beyond a shadow of a doubt” by testing its contents against the unique DKIM signature found in its metadata.

Graham used the DKIM signature within the email to verify with a private key on Google’s servers that the sender, recipient, subject, date and body of the message that the DCNF obtained from Giuliani were unchanged from when the email was originally sent in April 2015.

Graham said the only way the email could have been faked is if someone hacked into Google’s servers, found the private key and used it to reverse engineer the email’s DKIM signature.

Email metadata on its own does not provide any indication of whether hacking had anything to with the email’s release, Graham noted.

“Of course, committing criminal hacking doesn’t make true information any less true, so no matter how illegitimately they gathered emails, the contents are provably legitimate,” Graham said.

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign said in a statement that his schedule indicates that no such meeting as alleged in the email took place. However, the campaign later told Politico that they could not rule out the possibility he had a cursory encounter with the Burisma executive.

The email came from a computer that Hunter Biden reportedly dropped off at a Delaware-based computer repair shop in April 2019. The repair shop owner provided Giuliani a copy of the hard drive after it went unclaimed.

Hunter Biden has not denied giving his laptop to the Delaware repair shop.

Giuliani had initially refused to provide the Daily Caller with a copy of the hard drive in mid-October, saying that questions surrounding the veracity of its contents were “pettifogging nonsense” pushed by the “liberal press.”

The Biden campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.

  1. The Federal Bureau Of Inaction

    In the closing days of the most consequential presidential election of our lifetimes, the New York Post has dropped a bombshell into this race. Whether Democrats or the mainstream media want to admit it, serious concerns have been raised about Joe Biden and his family – and the evidence is now pouring out to the public.

    The question Americans should be asking is, “Why are we only now hearing about this?”

    Let’s take a step back first. We’ve all known for some time that Joe Biden’s troubled son, Hunter, cashed in on his father’s powerful position as vice president to rake in big money from shady overseas business deals.

  2. Has there been a worse candidate in history than Joe Biden?
    When this election is over, the books revealing what went on backstage will be illuminating.
    But the truth is there for anyone with eyes to see.
    Take Biden’s car rally in Flint, Mich., Saturday, with a star-power assist from Barack Obama.
    Awkward barely covers it.
    Obama, effortlessly cool, gave a warmup speech to the assembled cars before ramping up to a dramatic introduction: “My friend, the next president of the United States of America: Joe Biden!”
    Moments ticked by, but there was no sign of the candidate.
    “Joe Biden!” Obama repeated, a little less confidently. But still no show.
    Obama tried a third time: “Joe Biden!”
    Biden at last emerged from a nearby building and did a pantomime slow jog to the stage.
    The worst part came later.
    After Biden had shouted his way through a short teleprompter speech, Obama came back onstage, perhaps to escort him off, because Biden did not seem to know where he was.

    WATCH THE VIDEO.

  3. On Friday, October 30, Biden said it was a Russian hoax, and a smear campaign.

    If Biden lies now, how much lying will he do after the election and for the next four years?

    Biden has the US and VT Media in his corner.

    They say go ahead and lie Biden, and we tell everyone it’s true.

    That way the people will never know what is up or down.

    Hell, they are all deplorables
    Screw them.
    They do not need to know.

  4. US MEDIA SILENCE AMOUNTS TO ELECTION INTERFERENCE

    Traditional Media NOT Covering the Story: The traditional US, Europe and Vermont media have decided not to mention the grafting and grifting of the Biden clan in Ukraine, Russia and Moscow.

    It appears, the US Media, VT Media and Facebook and Twitter are interfering with the election in favor of Biden by preventing the free exchange of information between voters. In that sense, they appear to be colluding with the FBI.

    The NYT, WSJ, WaPo, LAT, etc., mentioned NOT ONE WORD about this EXPLOSIVE NEWS.
    They are in cahoots with the DEEP STATE folks at the FBI, “Justice” Department, State Department, intelligence agencies, etc.

    Is that the way the US people are allowed to elect their PRESIDENT?

    This makes the RUSSIAN HOAX-1, instigated by Hillary and her discredited, DNC-financed Steele report (even the FBI has stated the report is bogus), look like a Sunday school picnic.

  5. THE DEEP STATE

    Yes, the DEEP STATE and FBI/Obama holdovers, who are still around, have been HIDING Hunter Biden’s computer in secret FBI vaults to protect Joe Biden (Hunter calls him The Big Guy in his emails), since DECEMBER 9, 2019, more than TEN MONTHS.

    FBI “Slow-Walking” Releasing the Biden Hard Drive Dirt: Not a peep from the FBI for 10 months.
    Wray, FBI Chief, likely knew about the computer, but kept it a secret.
    He should be questioned by the US Senate ASAP. What did he know, and when did he know it, and why did he keep it a secret?
    Barr, Attorney General, likely was kept in the dark, even though the FBI is a part of the US Justice Department!!!
    Barr likely would have immediately told Trump.

    FBI Using Leverage: The FBI was previously involved in an illegal plot to take down Trump
    Its Deep State elements would assuredly love to see Joe Biden succeed him in January, because the FBI could blackmail him.
    FBI director J. Edgar Hoover used “dirt files” on politicians for leverage.
    This enabled him to remain bureau chief for as long as he wished.

    FBI Probe Regarding Russian Connection: An Oct 17, 2020, Bloomberg article, by Chris Strohm, states, the FBI had probed if the Biden hard disc info was part of a “Russian disinformation operation”.
    Shifty Schiff immediately picked up on that.
    That Bloomberg article looks like a red herring to divert attention. A Russian Hoax-2?
    Russian Hoax-1 was Hillary’s. See Note and below.

    Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on October 19, 2020, said the information contained on Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed by the NY Post last week “is NOT part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”
    https://nypost.com/2020/10/19/john-ratcliffe-info-on-hunter-biden-laptop-not-russian-disinformation/

    NOTE: Bloomberg is spending $100 million in Florida to sway Florida into Biden’s column.

    Senate Investigation: On October 17, 2020, a letter from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs requested the FBI provide information regarding the computer to compare its hard drive and the New York Post copy. The FBI refused to provide the information, likely to run out the clock to protect Biden.
    The hard drive and copy comparison likely would prove them to be identical

    The FBI had the computer during the impeachment process, which was about a phone call during which President Trump asked Zelensky, Ukraine President, to provide information regarding Biden’s dealings in Ukraine.
    Trump smelled a rat and was right ALL ALONG.

    According to emails, the hard drive contains info that would have supported Trump’s position, i.e., influence peddling by Hunter Biden, which was fully known by VP Joe Biden.

    Hunter arranged for a top Burisma executive to meet with VP Joe Biden; such a meeting likely would NOT appear on any OFFICIAL records.
    Sure enough, the Biden campaign is claiming “the meeting is not shown on OFFICIAL records”
    Joe Biden still claims he never discussed business dealings with Hunter, his son, even though the Hunter emails describe otherwise.

    Why did the FBI not speak up during the impeachment process that it possessed EXONERATING EVIDENCE?
    Was the FBI shielding “the Big Guy”, who shows signs of dementia while running for President?

    Are you kidding me? Right here in the USA?

  6. VT MEDIA

    The VT Media has been acting dumb regarding the Biden decades-long grifting and grafting, as if nothing has happened.
    It is treated as a non-event to help touchy-feely, smiling/grinning, conniving Biden become President.
    Nothing to see here folks.
    Just move on.

    Had this involved Trump, it would have been written about all over the place for days.

    The Vermont Media is doing yeoman-duty for the DEEP STATE.
    Nobody can make comments on VTDigger when people were 10 to 1 against GWSA
    Nobody can make comments on SevenDays, when people were 10 to 1 against GWSA
    The foundations financing their “mouthpieces” threatened to withhold their support.

    Leahy did not have to pay $25,000 for his daughter’s wedding, because it was held at Sky Peak, FOR FREE, courtesy of EB-5.
    Shumlin and his girlfriend got to stay for 3 days in a multi-$million penthouse in New York, FOR FREE, courtesy of EB-5.

    ALL THIS IS HIGH ORDER CRAPOLA.
    It stinks to high heaven.

    NOTE: The NYTimes still has not released the source of Trump’s tax returns, but had full-page write ups about them for days, making statements that no one could VERIFY.

  7. BIDEN HISTORY OF PLAGIARISM, FABRICATION, AND EXAGGERATION

    In 2016, the US Media, favoring Hillary, dug up all sorts of negatives on Biden, but in 2020, they do not cover Biden’s impeachable crimes while VP, i.e., sharing 50/50 with his son’s influence peddling in Ukraine, Romania, China, Kazakhstan, and Russia. Here is a summary obtained after some googling.

    Biden Near the Bottom in Law School: Biden claimed he finished in the top half of his class.
    It was later revealed Biden was near the bottom of his law school graduating class at the low-ranked Syracuse University’s College of Law (111 out of 141).
    Biden graduated 76th out of 85 students.

    Biden the Plagiarizer: Biden also admitted that he had plagiarized during his first year in law school.
    “I was mistaken, but I was not in any way malevolent,” Biden explained.
    The plagiarism tag would follow him into politics.
    Eventually it was also revealed Biden had used quotes in speeches as a U.S. senator from Bobby Kennedy, John F. Kennedy and Neil Kinnock, a British Labor Party leader, without any attribution.

    In a 1988 speech, Biden referred to “my ancestors, who worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours.” That line was plagiarized from a speech by British politician Neil Kinnock, whose family actually did work in the mines.

    Biden Climate Plan: In early 2020, Biden faced plagiarism again when it was revealed his 2020 climate plan lifted some passages from other documents without attribution. The campaign corrected the error.

    Biden the Civil Rights Marcher: In 1987, Biden said he marched during the civil rights movement, but some media outlets pointed out that was not the case.
    “I was not an activist,” Biden explained at a news conference at the time. “I was not out marching.”

    These controversies eventually forced Biden from the 1988 presidential race in September 1987.

    Biden the Civil Rights Activist: Biden has repeated the claim that he was involved in civil rights activism during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary on a few occasions. And his some of the most awkward apologies he’s been forced to make involve the issue of race.

    During his 2008 run for president, Biden apologized for referring to his then-rival Sen. Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

    Biden the Racist: While campaigning in New Hampshire Biden told a supporter that “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts in Delaware, unless you have a slight Indian accent”.

    And in May 2020, Biden told radio host Charlamagne the God, ”If you have a problem voting for Trump or me, you aint black”, which sparked controversy. He later apologized for that statement too.

    Biden Shot at in Iraq: In 2007, Biden claimed he was “shot at” during the Iraq War while visiting the Green Zone, the heavily guarded area in the middle of Baghdad where the United States embassy is based.
    “Let’s start telling the truth,” he said. “Number one, you take all the troops out — you better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the Green Zone, where I have been seven times and shot at.”
    When asked for details about the shooting, a Biden campaign aide told the Hill that the then-senator was staying at a hotel in the Green Zone when a mortar landed several hundred yards away.
    “A soldier came by to explain what happened and said if the mortar fire continued, they would need to proceed to a shelter,” the aide said.

    Biden “Forced Down” Afghanistan: Biden claimed his helicopter was “forced down” near Osama bin Laden’s lair in Afghanistan. Turns out, Biden, John Kerry, and Chuck Hagel were on a Senate junket in Afghanistan when their helicopter crossed paths with a storm, according to reports. The pilot landed as a precaution, and a U.S. military convoy picked up the senators and took them to the main American airbase.

    Biden the Coal Miner: While running for president in 2008, Biden told the United Mine Workers that he was a coal miner.
    “I hope you won’t hold it against me, but I am a hard-coal miner, anthracite coal, Scranton, Pennsylvania,”

    Biden the Campaigner for President: In 2019 during Biden’s Democratic primary run, the Washington Post reported that the former vice president told a fake war story. PolitiFact rated the story he told as false. Biden has dismissed the criticism.

    Biden Arrested in South Africa: In March 2019, Biden claimed he was arrested in South Africa, while trying to see the anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela.
    His campaign later said it didn’t happen after the U.S. ambassador who was with him on the trip said the arrest story wasn’t true.

    Valerie Richardson wrote in The Washington Times, “Since the start of the 2020 campaign, Mr. Biden has been caught on numerous occasions spinning false and even ludicrous yarns, a tendency that has prompted head-scratching from his supporters and exasperation from conservatives stunned that his tall tales have yet to torpedo his salt-of-the-earth image.”

  8. The Bidens are knee-deep in corruption, and time will show the world real soon,
    let’s see how sleepy Joe handles that pressure, hopefully, he won’t be in his
    basement but in a jail cell, along with his crack head son and crooked Brother.

    The three stooges ” Joe, Hunter, Jim ” now that’s a real cast of characters, but
    then again Joe states ” Hunter ” is the smartest man he knows, that says it all.

    And this fool thinks he can run the country…..God Help us.

    • Not only the Biden”s but also Kerry’s kin, Romney”s kin, Pelosie”s and even slo joes

      number 2 doodoo Kameliaon name has shown up on email strings…It’s a swamp effort with

      slo joe playing the godfather…

    • I sincerely hope that no one is losing sight of the fact that even if, God forbid, Biden is elected next week, he will not be running this country, regardless of what the fool thinks.
      If Biden is elected, he will be a puppet, a president in name only. This country will be run by Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Schiff, and the gang of four. And all of the Big Tech, big money interests that fund them. Pay attention people.
