All hell broke loose in Biden World the day TheβPost broke the first bombshell emailβfrom Hunter Bidenβs abandoned laptop, on Oct. 14, 2020, three weeks before the presidential election his father would win.
βBIDEN SECRET E-MAILSβ read the front page exclusive, revealing a 2015 email from an executive at the corrupt Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, thanking Hunter for introducing him to Hunterβs then-VP Βfather in Washington.
βDear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together,β wrote Burisma board adviser Vadym Pozharskyi on April 17, 2015, less than a year after Joe Biden had forced the Ukrainian government to fire the prosecutor investigating the corrupt company that was paying Hunter $1 million a year.
The story put the lie to Joeβs Βrepeated claims that he knew nothing about his sonβs overseas business dealings β and risked sinking his presidential campaign.
But as soon as it broke online at 5 a.m., panicked phone calls and messages started flying between Hunterβs business partners and their advisers, even as social media giants Facebook and Twitter moved to censor the story and lock The Postβs account, while candidate Biden went into hiding.
Fear of DOJ probe
In one communication that day, Hunterβs then-business partner James Gilliar, a former British Special Forces officer with ties to UK intelligence services, βcalmly reassures an unnamed person who is concerned that βa Senate committee, the DOJβ might start investigating Hunterβs foreign deals and then βHunter and/or Joe or Joeβs campaign [will] fire a shot at us.β
βIt would be crazy to do that with all the information and all the facts we have [but what happens if] they try to make it βOh, we were never involved. That was [Joe Bidenβs brother] Jamesβ idea .β.β. and try to basically make us collateral damage?β the person asks Gilliar in a message provided by a whistleblower to Republican congressional investigators and obtained by The Post.
Gilliar is unconcerned about potential backlash from the Biden family and Joeβs campaign: βI donβt see how that would work for them,β he replies.
βI think in the scenario that he wins they would just leave sleeping dogs lie.
βIf they lose, honestly, I donβt think that the Big Guy really cares about that because heβll be too busy focusing on all the other sβt he is doing.β

The communication, obtained by The Post Wednesday, is significant because it bolsters the claim by ex-Hunter business partner Tony Bobulinski that the Big Guy was a code name for Joe Biden.
The reason the identity of the βBig Guyβ is important is because it adds to the weight of evidence suggesting that Joe Biden not only knew about Hunterβs international influence-peddling scheme, but allegedly was cut in for a slice of the profits.
In an email written by Gilliar to Hunter on May 13, 2017, the βBig Guyβ was allocated a 10% stake in a lucrative joint venture with Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.
β10 [percent] held by H[unter] for the Big Guy,β Gilliar wrote.
Three years later, Bobulinski, a Navy veteran, held a press conference to say βthere is no questionβ that the βBig Guyβ is Joe Biden.
βHunter Biden called his dad βthe Big Guyβ or βmy Chairman,β and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing,β Bobulinski said in October 2020.
Key info for grand jury
Joe was called the βBig Guyβ in other emails on Hunterβs laptop or in WhatsApp messages on Bobulinskiβs phones. In one case, a Serbian associate of Hunter, Vuk Jeremic, past president of the UN General Assembly, who was on a $330,000 retainer from CEFC, referred to Joe as βBig Man.β
The identity of the βBig Guyβ is important enough to form a part of the grand jury investigation in Delaware into Hunterβs business dealings. At least one witness has been asked who the βBig Guyβ is.
Hunterβs partners were always careful not to mention Joeβs involvement.
Gilliar warned Bobulinski, in a WhatsApp message on May 20, 2017, about the need for discretion: βDonβt mention Joe being involved, itβs only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid.β

Hunter Bidenβs biz partner called Joe Biden βthe Big Guyβ in panicked message after Postβs laptop story
Based in the Czech Republic, Gilliar was dubbed βMI6β by Bobulinski, after the British foreign intelligence service, because of Gilliarβs covert manner. He also told Hunter he had worked with British intelligence and introduced a prospective partner in Oman as βformer MI Six head of regionβ in the Middle East. Gilliar wanted to hire the former British βdiplomatβ David Holtom to help with an Oman energy project they were working on for CEFC.
The MI6 angle is intriguing because another British spy, Christopher Steele, was at the center of the Russia collusion scheme cooked up by Hillary Clintonβs campaign to paint Donald Trump as a Russian agent. Steele was the former head of MI6βs Russia desk.
In a biography on Hunterβs laptop, Gilliar gives his background as βspecialist training in Civil / Military security operations and analysis, counter terrorism, close protection and firearms, armed and unarmed combatβ with expertise in βsecurity and intelligence-based analytics and systems.β
His first appearance on the laptop is a Feb. 23, 2016, email CCβd to Hunter discussing his upcoming visit to Beijing to meet with the CEFC board and pitch a takeover of US Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
Gilliar would become the driving force behind Hunter and uncle Jim Bidenβs multimillion-dollar payments from CEFC.
Through 2015, 2016 and 2017, Gilliar traveled the world, using the Biden name to open doors for CEFC in Oman, Romania, Georgia, Kazakhstan and beyond. Sometimes he was accompanied by Hunter, Jim or another business partner, Rob Walker, a Biden family friend and former Clinton-administration official whose wife, Betsy Massey Walker, was Jill Bidenβs assistant when Jill was second lady.

2015 meeting with mogul
The first evidence on the laptop of a meeting between Hunter and CEFCβs billionaire chairman, Ye Jianming, is in late 2015. A meeting with Ye and his associated, CEFC Executive Director Jianjun Zang, was scheduled in Hunterβs diary for Dec. 7, 2015.
βDinner with CEFCβ was in Hunterβs diary on Aug. 11, 2016, at CafΓ© Milano in Georgetown, DC, an Italian restaurant where he entertained foreign clients.

Joe went to at least one such CafΓ© Milano dinner when he was vice president, on April 16, 2015, when he met with Hunterβs Ukrainian benefactor Pozharskyi, emails on the laptop show. Also invited to the dinner to meet the VP that night was Russian billionaire Yelena ΒBaturina.
The national security implications are staggering.
Joe Biden repeatedly has said that he knew βnothing about my sonβs overseas business dealings.β
But the laptop is full of evidence to the contrary. The FBI has had possession of the laptop since December 2019, when laptop repair-shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac handed it over.
