Hunter Biden's Laptop

[Captante]

lol you don't say!!

We're not laughing with you.... we're laughing AT you.

 

[Pohemi]

Well, that’s my understanding of it but some of these people seem very adamant that there’s obvious evidence of major crimes up to and including treason so I’d love to see this evidence. They obviously would want to share it far and wide so I don’t think it’s a big ask.

Two words for you: buttery mails.

Another word: Benghazi.

At least those actually involved a candidate, and not just their child.

Vox had a great roundup of where we are with the laptop story:

The return of Hunter Biden’s laptop

A recent New York Times story has made it the subject of discussion again.

www.vox.com

To summarize:
- Nothing on the laptop shows any hint of Joe Biden doing anything corrupt. His son may have tried to trade on his name to make dinner introductions and may have communicated an offer for a stake in a Chinese energy company that was turned down.
- Mainstream media never slept on the story. They opted not to report certain aspects as fact due to troubling chain of custody of said laptop. Instead, they worked diligently to verify the authenticity of certain texts/emails
- The only real controversy over the initial story and response was social media (Twitter/Facebook) limiting the spread of the story prior to the election. Big Tech opted to err on the side of heavy handedness given what transpired in 2016.
- If you really want to know what the laptop says about the Bidens, all you need to read is this: https://nypost.com/2020/10/16/texts-show-raw-intimate-exchange-between-joe-and-hunter-biden/. Basically, Hunter's gone through some shit, and drugs made his situation worse. His daddy still loves him and reminds Hunter that he will always have his family and shouldn't blame himself if daddy loses the election.

So Hunter and Joe are running a ring of international assassins who use the basements of pizza restaurants to meet with Putin and plot the downfall of western civilization while eating the brains of free thinking conservatives off of American flags they have pissed on?


Those are all basically equivalent

Never saw one of them but I have a used Compact with a 1 Meg external Bernoulli external storage device hooked up to it when I was working at the Groton site.

Hey Chucklehead, you never gave details or explained the last time(s) you made this claim, no less than three or four times. What "damning" emails? What's so damning, and where were they "blasted all over the internet from the start" ? How did you find copies of them before anyone else? Was it maybe because they were fake?

I know you won't answer these questions, Chucklehead. You can crawl back in the clown car now.

That won't happen. It's Chucklehead after all, truth and facts (and intelligence) are anathema to them.

As a lifelong 3 Stooges fan, I approve of the Mo Howard invective.

Few facts; the laptop is real. It is not "Russian disinformation" as the media, and Dems (same people really) tried to claim it was. Over and over this was their battle cry, and it worked. Because they worked with big tech doing so. Big tech blocking a story on the laptop, blocking any attempt of trying to report on it, being blocked just before the election, is election tampering. Banning people reporting on it. The story would have swang votes, so they didnt want it. All this time later, the very same people who called it Russian disinformation admit its real, and the story was true. If big tech blocking a news story, from a reputable outlet, doesn't worry you then you have problems. No matter who you wanted to win the election, BANNING a credible story because you didnt want it to hurt your candidate is a terrible road to go down. Same goes for the people who destroyed the guy who ran the shop Hunter left it at. He has had his life turned upside down and ruined because the left was mad at him for turning it in.

The leftist media totally ignoring Tony Bobulinski is ridiculous.

Hunter is simply an idiot. Every family has one. A troubled drunk and high son, who was struggling with addictions. Good on him for trying to get clean. I hope he continues and gets 100% clean from drugs and sex addition. But according to Biden he is, "the smartest person I know". If that doesn't tell you all you need to know.

The same people years ago believed 100% in the golden shower pee tape, deny this laptop. One is an actual solid piece of proof, the other never happened and has never been even remotely proven. All of this would have been handled MUCH differently if it was Trump Jr. And that is an irrefutable fact.

Claiming a "few facts" is being generous. All I see is one fact (the first sentence) and the rest is conspiracy theories and opinion.

Fine it’s all true. Why didn’t Guilanni release it when he got it? And when Carlson got a copy of the HD, why print out the contents and ship it by courier across country? And why this story has come back out again, why didn’t Bongino just flat out reveal the “scandal” live on TV instead of blaming MSM from not covering this blockbuster story?

Prove it was a laptop and not data from an iCloud hack.

Prove ALL the data in the dump is authentic, and no fake data added to the original.

They didn't ban the story. They didn't find it credible.

Let’s start with an easy one (the bolded). I haven’t heard of this narrative before, show me examples of main stream media making that claim as well as any elected democrat making such a claim. Show me these claims were made when this story first broke and has been repeated recently.

You're snorting way too much concrete dust. Seek help.

He has not been charged with any crime. There are several moving pieces, though, which I think bear reviewing (which I have attempted to do so in an objective manner below).

According to the NYT:

Tax Investigation:

• An inquiry was launched in 2018 into Hunter Biden's alleged failure to pay federal taxes.
• The inquiry was later widened to "include possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to the people familiar with the inquiry."
• After the federal inquiry was reported publicly, Biden paid off a "large tax liability" of more than $1 million in late 2020. Unclear whether it was related to the inquiry.
• Some have alleged that Biden is deep in debt due to his substance abuse problems. In 2019 he was sued by the mother of one of his children for failure to pay child support. The case was settled outside of court.

The Laptop and Burisma:

• The laptop allegedly contains emails from Biden to a former business associate, Devon Archer, and emails to other partners about conducting business with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. The emails also show Hunter Biden wanted to ensure his potential business relationship with Burisma did not violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
• From what I can find, it is not clear how or whether his dealings with Burisma are related to the federal inquiry. I also do not see anything to suggest that these emails indicate illegal activity, however from what I gather from NYT, some of the emails could be interpreted as Biden using his position as the president's son as an appeal to Burisma to develop a business relationship.
• Most media outlets did not report on the laptop initially because they were unable to verify the authenticity of the emails. The NYT later verified the authenticity of the emails after individuals familiar with the situation confirmed their authenticity.
• Biden has released a statement saying all of his affairs have been conducted "legally and appropriately" and he has committed no wrongdoing.
• Devon Archer, one of Biden's business partner for the Burisma partnership, was recently convicted of fraud in an unrelated matter in which Archer invoked Biden's name to bolster his own credibility between 2014 and 2016 as he defrauded the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation through the sale of $60 million in tribal bonds.

One final thing to note is that for some conservatives, the laptop story has become bigger than just a story about a laptop. Many conservative news outlets are angry about how other news outlets refused to cover the story. They claim that the lack of coverage is a shining example of "mainstream media bias," which treats negative stories about liberals or democrats differently than negative stories about Republicans.

You do realize that mainstream media IS Republican right?
Like the percentage of Left wing media across the country VS right wing across the country is DISPROPORTIANLLY large. This includes Television, Radio and straight up content creators.

Do you recall that just before the election of 2020 and this information first was released that not only did the mainstream media ban any mention of this information, but that the New York Post article and additional articles were banned from multiple platforms? Do you recall that members of prior administrations lied about this information as if it was a Russian plant? It was a scripted political coverup by party activists along with willing members of the media to hide, lie about and conceal the facts in this case so it wouldn't impact the election.

Dude, do you remember BENGHAZI? I mean like really remember it? They held so many tax dollar wasting investigations, and never made a prosecution. Against a Secretary of State EVEN.

Dude, your talking about a kid, using his dad's name, and trying to say his dad committed TREASON.

REFER to my first quote.

Republicans had FULL fucking control for what 2 years, and never got nothing out of it. Had both houses since 2010 AND NEVER got anything out of it. NO prosecutions of SoS. Don't you think if they had proof they would HAVE locked her up???

Get out of the YouTube Conspiracies. JFC.

Why should I care about Hunter or his laptop? He is not running for office and nothing on the Laptop incriminates his father in anything. He went to Yale Law School (which is probably one of THE hardest schools to get into), he most likely would have made a lot of money without his father's connections. There is a story here about how connected people trade on their connections, but Trump's children would probably be case #1. But it is pretty shitty that the Republicans have decided that people's families (who decided not to be in the public eye) are fair game.
