Showing Original Post only (View all)Report: Joe Biden’s Son Hunter’s Email Linked to Ashley Madison Account [View all]
[center]
[/center]
An email account belonging to Hunter Biden was used to register an account on the extramarital affair website Ashley Madison, according to a report on Breitbart News.
Breitbart, which last week published a deeply-flawed and racist hit piece on black activist Shaun King, claims an account with the the name Robert Biden was registered on the adultery website using an email address belonging to Biden. The account, allegedly discovered in the recent dump of Madison information, reportedly has Bidens correct birth dayFebruary 4but lists his year of birth as 1980 (Biden was born in 1970). Below, via Breitbart, is a screenshot of the accounts information that, among other things, reveals that the purported Biden was seeking relationships where Anything goes.

While Biden acknowledged to Breitbart that the email address belongs to him, hes denied registering the Ashley Madison account.
I am certain that the account in question is not mine, he said in a statement. This account was clearly set up by someone else without my knowledge and I first learned about the account in question from the media.
This is, unfortunately, not the first time that someone has used my name and identity to try to discredit me, he added. From my understanding through press accounts, it is very easy to set up an account without someones knowledge as there is no requirement that an email address be verified and I am certain that is what happened in this case.

Source. FYI the link is Gawker not Breitbart... hit pieces everywhere.
I guess the Republicans are taking Biden's potential run seriously...

OP
If Ashley Madison didn't verify email addresses, they have opened themselves up to a massive lawsuit

IRL, an identity thief opened up a credit card with just my name,birthdate, and an old address.

Just an email address proves nothing. They don't verify email addresses. The IP is Orlando.

That's my point. The screen shot may be a bogus paste-up job, especially considering its source.

Embarrassing for him, and it seems more than likely that he signed up for Ashley Madison.
