They also met to talk about... Burisma.
Have the norms been restored yet, NeverTrump? At long last, have the norms been fully restored?
Covert liberal propaganda corporation Fox:
Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a meeting with Hunter Biden at the State Department in July 2015 when he was serving as the deputy secretary of state in the Obama-Biden administration and Hunter was on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, according to emails reviewed and verified by Fox News Digital.
The ties between Blinken and Hunter Biden could face increased scrutiny after former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell testified to the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees last week that Blinken, as President Biden's then-campaign senior adviser, "played a role in the inception" of the public statement signed by intelligence officials claiming Hunter's abandoned laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
Emails from the infamous abandoned laptop that Blinken sought to discredit show that Hunter has ties to Blinken and his wife, Evan Ryan, dating back over a decade, having scheduled meetings with him while he was on the board of Burisma and Blinken was deputy secretary of state.
"Hunter Biden has ties with your wife" is the "the AIDS lab called but they didn't say why, they will only talk to your personally" of the 2020's.
(That's a great joke. You can steal that. I know you're going to, anyway. And I don't blame you one bit.)
In an email on May 22, 2015, Hunter tried to schedule a meeting with Blinken, so he could get the deputy secretary of state's "advice" on some things.
"Have a few minutes next week to grab a cup of coffee?" Hunter asked. "I know you are impossibly busy, but would like to get your advice on a couple of things."
"Absolutely," Blinken replied. "I'm just about to land in Tokyo en route back DC from Burma. I'll be in office from Tuesday on. Copying Linda in my office to find a good time. Look forward to seeing you. Tony."
Hunter then forwarded Blinken's response to his business partner and fellow Burisma board member, Devon Archer.
"I'm trying to schedule you after Tony's afternoon White House meeting, are you available around 345 or 4pm, TBC?" Landers, wrote. "Can you come to the Department for coffee, and see his new digs?"
"I should be-let me know and I'll be wherever is easiest for him," Hunter responded.
So the current Secretary of State -- and the man who helped kill the Hunter Biden laptop story to get the hob of Secretary of State -- was meeting with Hunter and his "business partners" in the State Department in 2015.
Anthony Blinken immediately began flirting with Hunter:
"You will love this," Blinken wrote to Hunter on July 22, 2015, "after you left, Marjorie, the wonderful african american woman who sits in my outer office (and used to be Colin Powell's assistant) said to me: 'He sure is pleasant on the eyes.' Tell you wife."
It's unclear what was discussed during the meeting. Fox News Digital's inquiries sent to the White House, Hunter's lawyer and the State Department on Sunday were not returned.
I think they discussed the logistics of getting Hunter Biden's Deliverables into Blinken's wife's Accounts Receivable.
Below, Hunter and "Evan" Ryan -- Blinken's "wife" -- chat about making plans.

In August 2010, Ryan emailed Hunter asking if he was still in New York City, prompting Hunter to say he was at "office in TriBeCa" referring to the neighborhood in New York City and that he was taking the Acela train home that evening.

The revelations of Hunter's ties to Blinken and his wife come amid House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, sending a letter to Blinken last Thursday, notifying him that the committees are "examining that public statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials that falsely discredited a New York Post story regarding Hunter Biden's laptop as supposed Russian disinformation."
"In his transcribed interview, Morell testified that on or around October 17, 2020, you reached out to him to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story," they wrote. "According to Morell, although your outreach was couched as simply gathering Morell's reaction to the Post story, it set in motion the events that led to the issuance of the public statement."
"Morell further explained that one of his two goals in releasing the statement was to help then-Vice President Biden in the debate and to assist him in winning the election," they wrote. "Based on Morell's testimony, it is apparent that the Biden campaign played an active role in the origins of the public statement, which had the effect of helping to suppress the Hunter Biden story and preventing American citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election."
