WILMINGTON, Del. — For the first time Tuesday, first son Hunter Biden’s notorious “laptop from hell” — whose scandalous contents were first reported by The Post nearly four years ago — was shown to a jury of his peers, with federal prosecutors making it a key part of their case accusing the president’s child of illegally owning a gun while addicted to drugs.
The pivotal moment unfolded after prosecutor Derek Hines brought out a plastic-wrapped laptop, walked it across the courtroom and presented it to his first witness, FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen.
Jensen took the MacBook Pro 13 and verified — after looking at the serial number on the back — that it had, in fact, belonged to President Biden’s son.
Prosecutors from the office of special counsel David Weiss must prove to jurors that Hunter, 54, intentionally lied on a gun application form by claiming he didn’t do drugs when he purchased a Colt Cobra revolver on Oct. 12, 2018 — a time when prosecutors say he was in the middle of a serious crack-cocaine dependency.
The feds were quick to begin using information extracted from the laptop to lay out a timeline of when they say Hunter was using before and after he bought the firearm — which he only owned for 11 days.

Not a Colt Cobra revolver.
That (Berretta 86?) clearly is not. Wonder if the media will point that out.

The laptop first exposed ...
The laptop that has been in the possession of the FIB for years ...
The laptop that has a head drive that has been so sanitized that one could do open heart surgery on it ...
The laptop that has no known chain of custody since it was ‘acquired’ by the FIBs ...
Yeah ... that laptop is prime evidence ... (/sarc)
One has to wonder if any juror is intelligent enough, neutral enough, to see that the same government who denied the existence of the laptop and is now presenting the very thing, lies to them consistently and can be expected to lie at trial.
It SHOULD be a revelation. I won’t hold my breath.
Did they clean up all the child porn before presenting it as evidence?
The online version of that laptop has had all the child porn blacked out.
If Hunter was in possession of child porn, that should have been the indictment. In some states, possessing child porn is almost ( and rightfully) a capital offense.
