Miranda Devine has found something interesting in Hunter Biden’s emails that indicate he may have been in possession of classified information he “almost certainly” obtained through his father.
Devine said that one email found on Hunter’s laptop relating to Ukraine stands out enough that it needs to be cross-matched with classified information pertaining to Ukraine, the UK, and Iran that was discovered at his father’s Wilmington home.
According to Fox News:
Devine told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" it is interesting to note the connection at least on a subject-matter level between what has been revealed about the first tranche of classified documents found at Biden's Greenville, Delaware, estate, and the email between the first son and his then-business partner Devon Archer.
The email, from April 13, 2014, was sent one week before then-Vice President Biden was to meet with then-Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Host Tucker Carlson remarked the email read like no other missive on the laptop, but could have been mistaken for one written in official State Department jargon or the like.

The email, that Devine says reads like a classified document, states, in part: “The strategic values to create a land bridge for RU [Russia] to Crimea. That won't directly affect Burisma holdings, but it will limit future UK exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular. It will also further destabilize the UK nationally and for whatever government is in power and the US will respond with even stronger sanctions. Those sanctions will threaten the tenuous support of the EU, which does not have the political will to incur steep energy price increases.” Devine made note that Hunter used the diplomatic “RU” abbreviation for the “Russian Federation.”
"There's information in there that is not readily available. He sounds very knowledgeable and very breezy about it. And you have to remember that this is at a time – a month before he joined the Burisma board. He needed money desperately, to feed his drug habit, and they were going to pay him $83,000 a month to do not very much," Devine added.
She said that if Hunter were to have had access to classified information, that would drive "his price much higher" on the foreign business front.
Devine added that it will be easy for authorities to tell if Hunter had access to his father’s classified docs - if we can trust them to actually do that.
