CBS ‘confirms’ Hunter Biden laptop is real 769 days after Post broke story

It only took them 769 days.

CBS News said Monday that it confirmed the authenticity of data from Hunter Biden’s former laptop — more than two years after The Post first revealed its contents — as the first son’s lawyer complained he didn’t “consent” to the release.

The laptop links President Biden to his son Hunter and brother Jim Biden’s foreign influence-peddling, but high-ranking former spy agency officials claimed before the 2020 election it was likely Russian disinformation and the story was censored by Twitter and Facebook.

Most news outlets ignored the laptop’s contents until recently. CBS’s report follows belated verification of the laptop in March by the Washington Post and New York Times.

CBS correspondent Catherine Herridge reported that she received a copy of Hunter Biden’s hard drive from former Delaware computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac, and that Minnesota computer scientists led by former Secret Service computer crimes expert Mark Lanterman said the files appeared legitimate.

Lanterman’s firm determined that the laptop’s contents accumulated over the course of time, as would be expected, and that there was no evidence that the documents were altered by outsiders.

Herridge did not specifically say which documents from the laptop were determined to be authentic. But she said that two sources confirmed to her that Joe Biden was the person identified as the “big guy” in an infamous May 2017 email that described a 10% side-aside as part of a deal with a Chinese government-linked company.

“Two of Hunter Biden’s former business partners, including Tony Bobulinski, who received the email, told CBS News that the 10% ‘held by H for the big guy’ was shorthand for 10% held by Hunter for his father,” Herridge reported. “The author [of the email, James Gilliar] has not responded to CBS News’s questions.”

A couple years ago, much of the material was on 4Chan.

I don’t recommend most ever go there though.

While it may not yet be time to throw Biden under the bus, it’s finally past the time where they need to protect him.

39 days until Jan 2023. Unless Biden dies or ends up in the hospital, he ain’t going no where.

That said, Impeachment is a joke, Dems proved that twice. If Repubs were smart, okay I know they aren’t, but if they are, in regards to Impeachment they should DO NOTHING. Dems own this disaster Biden, let them burn for it. Make Joey take himself out.

Don’t worry, as usual, RINOS will ride in to save the Dems and really F*CK things up.

Delay was due to an abundance of caution to assure validity.

The report was by CBS’s Catherine Herridge. Before the 2020 election, the network’s Lesley Stahl sat down with then-President Donald Trump, who asked her why she wasn’t covering the laptop. Stahl rebuked him: “Because it can’t be verified.”

Herridge and Stahl should turn in their credentials, they are NOT journalists, they are Leftist activists.

The long knives that are currently out for Trump will soon be redirected towards Brandon. Trump survives but Brandon does not.

Gee, just a short time after the mid-terms, and less than a week after Trump’s announcement. Biden just doesn’t seem to have the same immunity from the media than he used to have.

I guess it is not “NEWS” until CBS says it is news.
