Joe Biden’s son Hunter has been tried on three felony counts related to purchasing a firearm while knowingly being addicted to illegal drugs. The jury quickly found him guilty based, in significant part, on evidence found on his once-disputed laptop. The authenticity of this device was a determining focal point in the 2020 election where those supporting Joe Biden claimed the information on the laptop was disinformation. And yet, the prosecution introduced it as a major part of its evidence against Hunter. Approximately 15% of Biden’s voters reported had they known the truth of its authenticity, they would have refrained from voting for him — an election-changing event which, under a Trump presidency, would have saved us from economic inflation and an invasion of our southern border.
Some are saying that Hunter’s conviction proves our justice system isn’t biased or one-sided, but they are ignoring the full story. It’s been uncovered that Hunter and his family used dozens of shell companies feathering their nest to the tune of tens of millions of dollars without any evidence of having legitimate business products or services. The Justice Department let the statute of limitations expire on all these meaningful tax and other charges long ago, choosing to turn a blind eye to the Bidens’ activities. Censoring history by mainstream news, Americans were left in the dark. If it had not been for two Democrat IRS employees who became whistle-blowers after the fact, the truth might have been buried forever.
Just weeks before the election, and a few days before the famous 2020 Trump-Biden debate, The New York Post carried a story about the existence of the laptop with its incriminating evidence of pay-to-play schemes; implicating payments were made to then-candidate Joe Biden through the use of terms such as the “big guy” or “pops.” After the Post article, now Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, arranged a letter in which 51 so-called intelligence experts proclaimed, without any evidence, that the story about Hunter’s laptop was likely Russian disinformation. In the last 2020 presidential debate, Biden used the letter to mislead the American public claiming Trump’s valid claim — of the Biden family using its position for profit — was false. Enough Americans believed him and voted for Biden.
John Soloman, an award-winning investigative reporter, later testified he contacted the FBI in March 2020 about the computer’s authenticity. He was clearly told it was authentic. The American public was told otherwise. The 51 intelligence “experts” either participated in real election interference or were seriously duped.
Even today, none of the living “gang of 51” members admit guilt or wrongful doing. They decided not to reveal that they had never checked the facts when they claimed it had the earmarks of being a Russian operation. We find this amazing. Integrity, which it looks like the “gang of 51” lacked, demands complete disclosure, not deception.
The real story of Hunter’s trial? The FBI entered the laptop as unaltered and impeccable evidence of Hunter’s and the Biden family’s behavior, proof of a cover-up in which governmental officials and the mainstream media were active players.
