The New York Post’s series of exposes, based on a hard drive that Hunter Biden left with a repair shop and never reclaimed, have thrown a joker into the deck of the presidential election. Of course, the issue isn’t Hunter–a sad, drug-addled case–but rather the light that the documents shed on the corrupt career of Joe Biden.
The Post’s documents show a level of corruption that is remarkable even by Swamp standards–for example, Joe Biden proposing to take equity in a Chinese company secretly, through a 10 percent stake held on his behalf by Hunter. But how do we know that they are genuine?
First, because Biden hasn’t denied that the hard drive belonged to Hunter, and the documents contained thereon are real. His calling the Post’s stories a “smear” was a non-denial denial.
Second, because there is a witness. The Democrats have to be careful, because there is a real, live repair shop owner who is ready to explain what happened and to vouch for the integrity of the hard drive. I think this is largely why Biden et al. have gone to ground rather than seriously contest the corruption to which Hunter’s files testify.
At Townhall, Rudy Giuliani explains the provenance of the Hunter Biden hard drive:
“The way I came to have this was my lawyer was contacted by this gentleman who owns this store that fixes hard drives. Hunter Biden had come into the store probably a year ago, turned over three devices. The guy couldn’t fix one, fixed the other immediately and had to keep the hard drive,” Giuliani explained. “Hunter Biden came back in two days and brought him some kind of keyboard that would help and within a fairly short period of time he had it fixed. He started calling Biden to pick it up. Couldn’t get any answer, any response, didn’t get paid.”
“For some reason Hunter Biden never showed up. One of the reasons may be, the gentleman says, Hunter Biden was so drunk that he had a little trouble even getting his name out. And since I’ve now looked at the hard drive I find that to be very credible because – and this may be an exaggeration – but he looks like he’s high on crack every other day for the last five or six years.”

According to Giuliani, the computer store owner made four copies of the hard drive but turned the original over to the FBI. He gave two copies to his friends in case he was killed. He waited four or five months before he sent letters to various Republicans asking if they would be interested in the data.“We were the first to respond, or the only ones to respond,” the president’s personal attorney explained.
Giuliani’s attorney, Bob Costello, met up with the store owner and spent about a week reviewing the information it contained to make sure it was legal to release. The contract Hunter Biden signed said that if the computer wasn’t picked up in 90 days it would be considered abandoned and the owner would obtain possession.
The information, however, wasn’t validated until Giuliani received a copy and reviewed the information. Based on dates and information from a confidential informant, Giuliani was able to validate it was, in fact, Hunter’s computer.
More details at the link. One wonders, why hasn’t the FBI done anything, given that it has had Hunter’s hard drive for ten months?
Based on what’s known, Giuliani stated Hunter Biden should be in prison for failing to register as a foreign agent, which is what Paul Manafort went to jail for.
Good point! Did Hunter register as a foreign agent? Giuliani says that he didn’t. Is that still a crime, or was it a one-time-only expedient to be used against associates of President Trump?
Joe Biden is perhaps the ultimate swamp creature. What we know about his corruption is plenty bad enough, but my guess is that what has come to light is only the tip of the iceberg.
UPDATE: I should add that Joe Biden is now facing questions over his business dealings with an oligarch in Kazakhstan.
Hoe indeed, when it comes to Hunter Biden.
More like ho, ho, ho. Joe's got to go!
If the laptop and emails were fake, the Biden’s would be saying they are fake. They are real and they will lead to criminal charges (someday).
‘
Did they Verify anything in the Get Trump Ops?
The other end of email recipients Verified the emails and matched to the millisecond.
.
It’s ‘Humper Biden’.
Fox just showed the receipt that Hunter received when he dropped it off. They also showed the receipt from the FIB when they took it a year ago.
right, may have been he didn't remember WHERE he left it. or, may have determined that: "it's just a laptop..I'll get another one."
the guy, hunter, may have a lot of money, but he seems like an idiot..Everything he has been near has turned to manure.
I'm waiting on bidens cell phone records to show he was at the shop on the day the show owner says he was..
A guy drops off a laptop with sensitive emails on it, then never picks it up. Only someone on crack would do something like that.
Hope he made Forensic Bitstream Copies
They won’t or can’t deny it. That’s how.
But there are recipients on the emails who confirm that they are real.
Hoe lee fuk.
Doesn’t the money transfers tell the story?
5.56mm
Yes, you are write. I also think Biden has lawyered up.
But those receipts have no metadata!!! /s
Write = right
They’re fake according to Adam Schiff. More Russian information is his claim. Russia, Russia, Russia!
In a video Rudy did he gave a third way we know it’s real.
Two days after this went public Hunter’s lawyer both called and emailed the repair shop asking if he had a copy he could give them.
Brilliant lawyer! LOL
