He was VP from 2009 to 2017.

Try to find dates beside the years

In the end of the wiki page following is written:

"Joan Donovan, the research director of the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy at Harvard University, said that "This is arguably the most well-known story the New York Post has ever published and it endures as a story because it was initially suppressed by social media companies and jeered by politicians and pundits alike" "

I can't remember saying my name when I entered our local computer store with my laptop who had been acting weird.

From memory
Hi I have a laptop(toke it up from my bag)and lay it on the desk. then I explain the problems and he asked what my phone number was and he would contact me-When they have discovered the problems and what the price would be.

So WHY was it so important for this person to say he was Hunter Biden ?

Sorry Dowly.

You might have had a point if it did not refer to a business deal that happened when Biden was still in office or if it was not part of a pattern of influence dealing that goes back to when he was still a senator.

He was VP from 2009 to 2017

Can't say from which month and day to which month and day

From Jan. 20 2009 till Jan 20 2017. That would be the entire two terms of President Obama.

Of course

Which also mean Dowly could be right.

I don't know how it's done in Europe, but here in the U.S. it is customary to leave name, number, & address when leaving real property in the care of a business. It is also known as "contact information", and ensures that the property gets released back to the rightful owner, and not just anybody that walks in off the street.

Even if it was all fake wouldn't there be a story of interest and a desire to investigate who, why and when it was created?

The statement Dowly is referring to was made about 4 months after Biden left office. However it refers to a payoff from a deal that was struck before he left office. It is also not the first time that the current potus was referred to by that name, at least one going back to 2013.

The (alleged) email refers to a deal they started planning in May of 2017.


Can we now get back to how the Twitter Files weren't a big deal or do you want to continue this?

Which refers to making a prior deal permanent:


Quote:
Another email — sent by Biden as part of an Aug. 2, 2017, chain — involved a deal he struck with the since-vanished chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, for half-ownership of a holding company that was expected to provide Biden with more than $10 million a year.
Ye, who had ties to the Chinese military and intelligence service, hasn’t been seen since being taken into custody by Chinese authorities in early 2018, and CEFC went bankrupt earlier this year, according to reports.
Biden wrote that Ye had sweetened the terms of an earlier, three-year consulting contract with CEFC that was to pay him $10 million annually “for introductions alone.”

Maybe you are right. 'cause I knew this computer guy very well and he knew who I was.
