Intetesting timing...

If they appear to disagree it's only to confuse us.

Wow

Everyone knows he sees nothing criminal anywhere as long as he gets a cut. How weird for him to say that. Perhaps he's trying to distance himself from showing his obvious Trump favoritism.

...as he attempts to butter up our next president. I don’t think this one’s gonna fall for it, though

Putin's goal is to de-stabilize American society. By weighing in on Hunter Biden he gets a win win. He gets Dems second guessing the veracity of the claim, simply because it came from Putin.

Plus, while they are certain that Hunter did nothing wrong, having Putin say it creates a conundrum. Accept Vlads proclamation, then you have to justify why he's es right about this, but wrong about everything else. A dammed if you, damned if you don't prospect.

Likewise it pisses the Repubs because it counters their desired narrative. For Putin its a win-win.

Kicking Donnie to the curb, is he?

While neatly putting the subject back out on the front page. Well done, Vladimir.

This is just another way to try and influence the US elections by mentioning the non-story of Hunter Biden once again.

Hunter Biden is not running for President, and he won't have an office in the West Wing if Biden wins- unlike Ivanka Trump and her husband, who were installed as "senior advisors" despite lacking any expertise whatsoever other than their relation to Trump. They're the kids we should be talking about.
