Meetings

Back in the 80's during the S&L scandal former Senator John McCain got in trouble and later said it was one of his biggest mistakes. There was meeting to limit the liability that the government would have toward poorly run S&L's. This was a regularly scheduled meeting that senators did not normally attend. When Senator McCain showed up everyone knew that they were to extend the time to these S&L's and that delay of almost a year cost the government additional billions. The point is that McCain never said word. The fact that he was present was enough to set the course for the meeting. This sort of thing happened with Hunter and Joe Biden. Hunter would hold meetings with his business partners and during the meeting he would call his father and ask his dad to say hello to the group. He would do that and then say goodbye and hang up. He did not discuss any business with anyone present but everyone in the meeting knew that Hunter could contact his dad whenever he wished. This is not a new and clever strategy. This is what people who don't want to leave any evidence do. This is so common in has a name, plausible deniability. While this is done with a wink and a nob there is no smoking gun. In fact this kind of behavior adds credibility to the meeting.
