Biden's Laptop: It's real, and it's spectacular

@George-K said in It's real, and it's spectacular:
Hunter talking about his stepmother, the First Lady, Jill Biden, using a word that we can't repeat on the air
Doctor
He called her a doctor
That makes some people crazy, Tucker was kind enough to keep it quiet.
-
And Tucker tonight made it clear that he believes the files on the laptop are evidence that the Bidens, Joe, Jimmy and Hunter have sold out the USA to China.
Pretty strong stuff
And again, the real story is the silence.
Maybe because the whole thing is not real. But if it is, we have a problem.

Laptop shows dozens of meetings with dad, business partners
Hunter Biden met with his father at least 30 times at the White House or the vice president’s residence, often just days after he returned home from overseas business jaunts.
The breakfasts, lunches and other gabfests between 2008 and 2016 raise questions about whether Hunter was relaying messages to his father on behalf of foreign clients, and cast new doubt on the president’s repeated denials that he had any role in his son’s shady overseas business dealings.
The meetings were found in a review of the personal calendar on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.
Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter Biden’s investment company Rosemont Seneca Partners, is named as a calendar invite recipient on 21 of 30 listed meetings, with a green check frequently indicating his confirmed receipt of the invite for meetings with the vice president. Schwerin was a longtime Hunter Biden business confidante, and had access to the elder Biden’s personal financial information.
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik — who has promised to subpoena Hunter Biden should Republicans win back control of Congress in the 2022 midterm elections — said it was more evidence of corruption.
“Hardly a day goes by without another revelation about how intimately involved Joe Biden was with his son Hunter Biden’s corrupt foreign business dealings. The fact that Joe was in meetings with senior foreign leaders on behalf of Hunter and his business associates while Vice President further proves that Joe has been lying to the American people,” Stefanik told The Post.
Hunter Biden met Daniel Kablan Duncan, the Prime Minister of Côte d’Ivoire, on April 15, 2016 in Washington D.C., his calendar shows. The 8:15 a.m. sitdown was quickly followed by a 9 a.m. confab with Vice President Biden at the Naval Observatory. The purpose of his meeting with Kablan is unclear.
Between Feb. 15-18, 2012, Hunter Biden was wined and dined by billionaire oligarchs in Moscow, including one now wanted for murder. Four days after his return, Hunter Biden met with Vice President Biden, again at the Naval Observatory.
On Nov 14. 2015, Hunter Biden met with Romanian ambassador to the United States George Maior, before heading off for meetings in that country. He returned Nov. 17, and had breakfast with his father at the Naval Observatory two days later. Just months after the trip, he teamed up with former FBI Director Louis Freeh to help Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu avoid jail time.

Er, no.
In other words, the son of the Vice President met with him discussing business deals days before and after meeting with cronies overseas.
Remember when Biden said, "I don't get involved with my son's business?"
Yeah.
There are currently 150 active investigations of impropriety in business dealings with the lesser Biden. What do you think the odds are that NONE of them involve Biden, the elder?

CBS News: "Credible Whistleblowers."
"Highly credible" whistleblowers have come forward to a senior Senate Republican alleging a widespread effort within the FBI to downplay or discredit negative information about President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, according to letters reviewed by CBS News.
"The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI's receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI's false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation," GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley wrote FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland on July 25. "The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their credibility and necessitate this letter."
Grassley, the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the whistleblowers alleged that legitimate streams of information and intelligence about the president's son were characterized as likely disinformation or prematurely shut down leading up to the 2020 presidential election.
CBS News first reported in April that more than 150 financial transactions involving either Hunter or James Biden's global business affairs were flagged as concerning by U.S. banks for further review. CBS News previously reported the U.S. attorney in Delaware has been investigating potential tax fraud, money laundering and foreign influence peddling.
[...]
A spokesperson for Delaware U.S. attorney David Weiss declined to comment on whether he was aware of whistleblower allegations that credible reporting about Hunter Biden was allegedly labeled misinformation by the FBI and whether these allegations had been factored into his probe.
In the correspondence, Grassley cited a 2020 FBI intelligence assessment that was "used by an FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation." He continued, "Based on the allegations, in at least one instance, verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation."
In October 2020, one month before the election, "an avenue of derogatory Hunter Biden reporting was ordered closed" by a senior FBI agent at the bureau's Washington Field office. An earlier letter from Grassley identified the agent as Timothy Thibault.January is going to be interesting.

How fast do you think they can get a committee together?

Secondly, when they do, let's have a hearing, not a kangaroo court.

Yeah bad things in the past.
John Paul Mac Isaac said two federal agents came to his Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del. in December 2019 to recoup the laptop following a subpoena, he details in his new book “American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth.”
The repairman, who had volunteered to hand the laptop over to the feds two months earlier, said the alleged threat came after he made a joke, telling them: “Hey, lads, I’ll remember to change your names when I write the book.”
“Agent Wilson kept walking but Agent DeMeo paused and turned to face me,” Paul Mac writes of the encounter.
Isaac said the agent then told him: “It is our experience that nothing ever happens to people that don’t talk about these things.”
The owner said he locked the door after the agents walked out, leaving him to “digest the encounter.”
“Was I being paranoid, or had what the agent just told me been a direct threat, or at best a thinly veiled one?” he writes.

That's because it is a threat.

I think the GOP is overestimating how much the country will care about the failings of the black sheep son in the Biden family who has had no role in the administration.

As far as your statement goes, I agree. However, it might just be about much more than Hunter's indiscretions.
Might.

Welcome to the party, CBS. Better late than never.
Even the NYT acknowledged this about 8 months ago.
Anyone think this is the beginning of a whispering campaign to discredit Biden for 2024?
Two years too late. A crack news organization...
Now, let's tie the influence peddling to The Big Guy.

Frum said something like “this will be a repeat of the Clinton investigations where the true parts were uninteresting and the interesting parts were untrue”.

Frum has become an absolute idiot and I wouldn't put a lot of credence in his prognostications.
