Neil W. McCabe, the national political editor of The Star News Network, interviewed veteran Washington journalist John Solomon, who is now the founder and editor-in-chief of Just the News about his coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop.
Solomon said that more than 50 senior national security Democrats confirmed for him that the laptop was legitimate when they released their Oct. 19, 2020 letter ascribing the laptop and its release to a Russian information operation.
Although mainstream media reporters and outlets quoted the letter as saying that the laptop was part of a disinformation campaign, the actual wording of “information campaign” tipped off Solomon that these national security leaders and experts had accepted that the laptop was real, but being exploited by the Russians, rather than something invented and or forged by the Russians.
Now the public knows that the content on the laptop is not only real, but worse than anyone could have imagined, he said.
Over time, the journalist and editor said his reporting on the laptop and the reporting of others has been vindicated, and the so-called experts have been exposed as making a partisan guess to affect the election. “History has evolved.”

TRANSCRIPT
McCabe: Hunter Biden’s laptop is an inventory of how President Joe Biden and his family mixed public service and private gain. Veteran Washington reporter John Solomon told The Star News Network how it was senior national security Democrats who confirmed the laptop’s validity.
Solomon: There’s been a false narrative out there. We saw people write letters, 50-plus national security experts saying, now this is very important, it gets misinterpreted. They never called it Russian disinformation.
McCabe: The October 19, 2020 letter, signed by more than 50 national security officials and intelligence officers, was a direct response to the New York Post expose of contents from Hunter Biden’s laptop five days earlier. Solomon said the letter itself was a clever manipulation of language.
Solomon: Disinformation means you create a false reality and then you spread it. Information means you take something that’s real, but then you try to use it to Russia’s advantage. They said it was used as a Russian. It had the hallmarks of Russian information, by the way. They had no actionable intelligence. This was just a guess on their part.
McCabe: The veteran Washington journalist said he seized on this as confirmation of the laptop, just as the mainstream media was pushing exactly the opposite.
Solomon: What that really means is the stories that I and others are writing were real. The Russians were just going to try to take advantage of “well, that’s what the Russians do.”
McCabe: With the mainstream media’s protection, candidate Joe Biden could dismiss questions about his family’s activities without fear.
(Joe Biden clip plays)
There’s overwhelming evidence from the intelligence community that the Russians are engaged.
McCabe: In fact, the day the letter came out, it was President Donald J. Trump facing hostile questions about the laptop from the press.
(Trump clip plays)
He is a criminal. He’s a criminal. He got caught. Read his laptop. And you know who’s a criminal? You’re a criminal for not reporting it.
McCabe: Solomon said time has proven him and others right.
Solomon: We get called conspiracy theorists, we get all these things, and then history has evolved. Hunter Biden did do things wrong, whether they’re criminal or not, the U.S. attorney will – but he’s been under investigation – at the time I and Peter Schweizer and others were being attacked. Everything we were saying was not only true, it was actually worse than we were saying.
McCabe: Reporting for The Star News Network, Neil W. McCabe, Washington.
I’m assuming this U-turn on the significance (not legitimacy, which I don’t think ever was in serious doubt) of the laptop is an indication that Brandon and Dr. Jill’s days in free government housing are numbered.
It went from an private email account to an email server in the bathroom to classified information on an unsecured email server and finally to classified information on pedophile Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
What came from this? Nothing
We know Hunter and Joe are depraved and corrupt. We have seen the evidence.
But what will come from this? Nothing.
They will get Joe to say he is not running for re-election and all this will go away.
They will not go quietly........................
Due to Hunter’s ties to the CCP, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Chinese had infected his laptop with spyware via email correspondence that would allow them access to everything Hunter did with his computer. Including pass codes to alleged secret state department files.....
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. So Hunter Biden’s laptop will soon be released. Ok let’s see the links on where it will be available for all to download and see. Till then i will be skeptical. It clearly needs to made 100% public and let the public have it’s opinion. I would expect that by now republicans already have papers of impeachment drawn up to be introduced on day one when the new congress is sworn in. Anything short of that is a failure.
Lap Top = Whitewater
Media fodder to feed hungry writers
Oh I’d wish for continued public housing—just a change of neighborhood. Not that it will ever happen, but in my fantasies—”C’mere, Bubba, let me smell that hair...”

It certainly seems there has been a major case of ‘gaslighting’ going on here.

This reminds me. What happened to the laptop guy that is taking safe harbor in Sweeden and claimed he was going to release all the laptop emails online? Wasn’t that suppose to happen 2 or 3 weeks ago?
They will probably call in Hillary to wipe it down soon...

Ditto, very true, very sad
You mean Jack Maxey, in Switzerland...the so-called “Fabricator”?
Will some patriotic soul in the loop please download that laptop on the WWW. It would be the bravest thing done since they raised the flag on Mt. Surabashi.
The really disgusting parts were put up on a Chinese porn site but were taken down, probably by the ‘authorities’............
That’s the best case scenario.
The worst case scenario is that this iState. a modified limited hangout, and Deep State has no intention of giving up the ship (of state).

I’m betting on the latter. 😔
On Fakebook now you can see posts of Joe Biden cavorting with nude young girls. I am surprised Fakebook has not taken them down, or at least covered it up with a claim that their “Fact” Checkers deem it false. But so far, not yet!
Ping
Just a bit of coverage and the election results would have been at minimum +1% for Trump and -1% for Biden nationally - enough to flip the Electoral College in Trump’s favor (Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania), regardless of any shenanigans that may have been pulled. So infuriating all of these massive disasters that occurred would not have occurred with an objective free press.
