We’ve known since 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. The liberal media attempted to deny the fact that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. Twitter did everything they could to hide the news and prevent the NY Post article URL from being shared on their platform. They variously tried to claim they were doing it because it was “hacked” material (it wasn’t) and/or that it was “Russian disinformation.”
Kayleigh McEnany, then White House Press Secretary at that time was even blocked from her Twitter account because she shared the news. It should be noted that one aspect of the story at the time was that it proved that Joe Biden had lied about knowing nothing about his son’s business because one of the emails showed that Hunter had introduced a Ukrainian businessman, an adviser on the board of Burisma, to his father.
Blatant election interference was the purpose of this attempt to close down the story. This was real election interference and not the hoax Russia collusion story the Democrats supported. This interference did make a difference. As I previously reported, there was a statistically significant number of people — 4.6 percent who voted for Biden — who said afterward that had they known about this information beforehand, they would not have voted for him. The media achieved what they desired, and the U.S. is worse off for it.
The NY Times reported on Thursday that two years ago, they confirmed the existence of emails and laptops. Nice that they finally got around to what we already knew — what a great accomplishment.
So, will they do real journalism that they didn’t do before and ask Joe Biden about the laptop as well as the connections with Ukraine, Russia, and China? What about the fact that Biden denies this reality for over two years? As I covered previously, Biden made a bizarre comment about naked blackmail on Wednesday, and it brought back another story — one of the videos of Hunter allegedly saying to a prostitute that Russians might have blackmail on him. That’s extremely important at any time, but perhaps no time more important than now, with issues regarding Russia.
Biden has been avoiding answering the question on this topic for far too long. Here he was in December 2020, telling Fox’s Peter Doocy that it was all Russian disinformation and Doocy was a “one-horse pony,” whatever that means.

Following the NY Times report, media asked Jen Psaki (White House Press Secretary) what Biden had to say. They’re asking about Biden’s position and she refuses to answer saying, “Hunter Biden doesn’t work for the government.” Talk about bad body language — look at how many times she’s blinking — she doesn’t want to answer this question at all.
Q: [Hunter Biden laptop scandal]…was a bunch of garbage and that it was a Russian plant. Do you believe he stands by his assessment?”

If he doesn’t work for the United States, why were they putting out a defense on his behalf on the Biden transition website (paid for by the government — in other words, taxpayers)? The ethics surrounding his art deal were a matter of biden administration involvement. This means that they intervened to keep buyers’ names from the public. Joe Biden claimed that the emails/laptops were Russian disinformation, when in fact they were genuine. That’s on Joe, not Hunter.
Hunter might not work for government. Joe, however, does. It is possible that Hunter’s family has been hacked and that he may have connections with foreign governments. Plus the emails aren’t only about Hunter but about Joe and alleged influence-peddling.
The question was going to be asked and they had no choice but to answer it. That’s how bad you know it is — and that they have no real response if they were truly to be held to account on this.
