Hunter Biden is now trying to deny that he downloaded his infamous laptop in 2019 at a Mac repair shop in Delaware.
“Didn’t you download a laptop in Delaware to repair?” he was asked on Sunday at a softball interview on CBS, the same Democratic media conglomerate that paid him for the memoirs he is currently promoting.
“No. Not at all that I remember it. Anyway.”
He at least admitted that the laptop could “definitely” be his.
His concession exposes the bias of Twitter and Facebook, which censored the New York Post’s coverage last October of laptops documents that influenced Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence.
Let’s never forget that Big Tech and most of the media teamed up to suppress a story that less than three weeks before the 2020 presidential election badly reflected on their preferred candidate.
It’s always been Hunter’s laptop, and they knew it.
We have the receipts to indicate that he unloaded the MacBook on April 12, 2019 at a Wilmington repair shop. There is his distinctive signature on the recovery file that appears with the signatures on his driver’s license and other documents. There is his personal cell phone number on the file.
There’s the testimony of the store owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, who repaired all three of the water-damaged laptops that Hunter brought that night, who met with Hunter again when he returned to pick up two of the computers and who tried to contact him. thereafter to ask him to collect his remaining device and pay his bill.
Above all, we have the unmistakable contents of the laptop, the hard drive that Mac Isaac handed over to the FBI in December 2019. Eight months later, he gave a copy to Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Hunter made himself known in the CBS interview: “Not that I remember it.”
This is a convenient excuse for a self-described years-long crack addict. Still, in his memoirs, “Beautiful Things,” he can tell vivid details about his drug use, from his first glass of champagne at age 8 to his months-long crack bends at Chateau Marmont at $ 830 a night. He was eventually blacklisted in 2019 for excessive drug use.
Hunter spends a lot of his book telling you what an amazing man he is. But more illuminating than the self-hagiography are the omissions.
Somewhere in Arkansas, there is a 2-year-old girl he refuses to acknowledge as his daughter, even after a paternity case determined she was.
‘Hunter Biden is. . . the father of three daughters [and a] son, ”declares the bookcase of his book and erases the fourth of his five children with sincerity. She might one day read those words and be cut to the core.
Hunter says he can not remember the child’s mother, Lunden Roberts, 28, the stripper he met at one of the cunning clubs to which he spent thousands of dollars a night.
“I had no recollection of our meeting,” he writes.
Unfortunately for him, the laptop tells a different story.
Hunter knew Roberts well enough to add her to his phone contacts on June 4, 2017.
He knew her so well that he slipped her through a back door through a back door late at night three months later, so often that the building manager wrote to him asking that he check in after-hours visitors through the front door security.
Hunter gained the upper hand and shot back a 1700-word name-calling diagram to the building’s general manager, Cecilia Brownings.
He describes Roberts in that September 21, 2017, email as “my youngest daughter’s basketball mentor. She worked with Maisy and Sasha Obama when they played together in the rec league. Hunter even adds a “partial bio” by Roberts that includes her basketball stats since high school.
“Lunden is in her final semester at George Washington University’s National CSIS Masters Program and is in first place in her class,” he wrote.
His relationship with Roberts was therefore not a fleeting encounter. He had clandestine assignments for a period of at least five months before she became pregnant with his child in November 2017. This was at a time when he was in a relationship with his brother’s widow, Hallie, with whom he had moved. a waterfront home in Maryland in August.
The point of all this is that the book, like many Biden family mythologies, is a very unreliable reminder, especially when it comes to financial misdeeds, as evidenced by the receipts on Hunter’s laptop.
Among the contradictions:
- Hunter does not mention the time in October 2018 when Hallie threw his gun in a trash can outside a store in Greenville, Del., But he does admit that he has been in chronic drug abuse in previous years. In other words, when he bought the gun two weeks earlier, he was lying on the firearms transaction record when he answered ‘no’ to a question about previous drug use. In fact, the infamous “crack pipe” photo on the laptop, of Hunter sleeping with a glass pipe in his mouth, had been taken just eight days earlier.
- He dismisses it as “[Donald] Trump’s conspiracy theories’ claim that he ‘ran $ 1.5 billion from China’ after flying with his father to the Air Force in 2013 with his father to Beijing. He claims that the private equity fund he and his Chinese partners set up at the time raised only $ 4.2. million and that its 10 percent stake is worth $ 420,000. Documents on the laptop say otherwise. According to the White House, the BHR Partners fund managed $ 2.5 billion in assets in 2019 and still held about 10 percent.
The reason it all matters is because Hunter’s father is president and that there is no evidence that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s business when he was vice president thereafter.
A 2017 email describes how Hunter would keep 10 percent of the proceeds of a lucrative Chinese deal for ‘the big man’. Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski testified that the ‘big guy’ was Joe Biden.
The laptop backs him up, with a number of other emails in which Joe is referred to as ‘the big man’ or in one case ‘big man’.
Hunter describes in his book how relieved he was when his father won the 2020 election. A Trump victory, ‘seemed like a threat to my personal freedom. If Dad did not win, I’m sure Trump would continue to pursue me in the criminal way he adopted. ”
Hunter now says he is “100% sure” that the Department of Justice’s investigation into his finances will remove him from any offense. Happy guy.
Release the Capitol riot desk jockey!
Save a thought for Arkansas window installer Richard Barnett, who is still languishing in a federal prison in the city nearly three months after the riot in the Capitol.
He has public enemy no. Became 1 after he displeased Nancy Pelosi by walking to her open office and putting his foot on the desk of one of her co-workers. The photo went viral.
His lawyers will file a new motion on Monday to be released for the trial of his trial at home, and also someone who does not threaten the community. And Barnett, a 60-year-old Trump supporter with health problems and no criminal record, is no threat to anyone.
Joseph McBride, Barnett’s chief advocate, points out that there are many cases that show a clear pattern of the release of violent protesters, such as Elizabeth Duke, who bombed the U.S. Capitol in 1983 and jumped on bail in 1985. only to her case which was dismissed in 2009 under then-President Obama. ”
‘We also offer more recent cases regarding protesters who fired police stations / police vehicles in 2020, as well as a litania of the 6th Capitol case. . . where release has been released in terms of the Bail Reform Act. . . ”
Barnett’s long-term detention is an insult to the presumption of innocence, which ‘is at the expense of our constitutionally protected rights. . . The government has substantiated facts and criminalized perfectly lawful actions in order to overcome the strong suspicion of conditional detention against the bail reform law. ”
The zeal of the Biden administration’s law enforcement arm to track down and lock up every last person who entered the Capitol on January 6 is starting to look fearless.
Federal prosecutor Michael Sherwin, who is conducting the DOJ’s investigation into Capitol riots, even cheerfully described the arrests on CBS’s ’60 Minutes’ as a ‘shock and awe’ mission. He seems to enjoy more than anyone in his position should do.
