Miranda Devine: New FBI chat logs reveal extraordinary ‘gag order’ senior leadership used to shut down any Hunter Biden laptop discussion

New chat logs released by the House Judiciary Committee this week show the extraordinary lengths the FBI went to behind the scenes to shut down any discussion of Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 after the New York Post broke the story.

The conversations, withheld by the FBI under Director Chris Wray, show that senior leadership issued an internal “gag order” on the laptop.

The FBI had been in possession of the abandoned MacBook Pro for 10 months by that stage, after computer repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac handed it over and warned of the potential crimes and national security concerns he had found.

The FBI’s forensic analysts quickly determined the laptop belonged to Hunter, had not been tampered with or altered in any way, and was suitable to be used in court.

Sure enough, four years later, evidence on the laptop was cited in tax fraud charges to which Joe Biden’s son pleaded guilty, and the device was displayed to the Delaware jury that found Hunter guilty of gun felonies.

Say ‘No comment’ ... senior FBI officials instructed agents to say “No comment” when asked about the laptop during regular meetings with social media companies before the 2020 election.

On Oct. 14, 2020, the morning the story was published, an FBI analyst confirmed to Twitter that the laptop was real but his bosses then “admonished” him and lamented in one message that “he won’t shut up.”

The deliberate silence of FBI senior managers allowed the false narrative to take hold

The FBI cover-up was not the only undeserved gift the addled and corrupt former VP received

They need to perp walk today, right now whoever it was that signed the order to cover up this crime. Send a cold chill across the landscape for these smarmy dug in career criminals.

Might give pause to those illegal activist judges with criminal conflicts of interest that they are next.

Also immediately lock up that sniveling weak James Comey, hes the low hanging fruit and even Hillary wants him in prison.

Broke Hunter Biden is a grifter who’s run out of grifts

Spare a thought for Hunter Biden, the grifter who’s run out of grifts. In a court filing, Hunter claims he’s “millions of dollars” in debt — so broke he can’t afford to keep pursuing his lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler for putting much of the content of his infamous laptop on the Internet.

Part of Hunter’s woes came from the LA fires torching his rental home, but the far bigger issue is that his income has slowed to a trickle. Wow: Now that the “big guy” is no longer in the White House, suddenly no one wants to buy Hunter’s art.

Buyers used to line up to shell out tens of thousands on Hunter Biden originals; Democratic donor Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali reportedly bought $42,000 worth in 2021 before Joe appointed her to a spot on the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022.

Buyers were supposed to be kept anonymous to avoid blatant pay-to-play, but Hunter’s own art dealer testified that the first son knew who bought up to 70% of his pieces.

It sure seems like that was the entire point, and the buyers knew it, since according to Hunter’s court filings, he sold 27 pieces at an average cost of about $54,000 (so reasonably priced!) in “the 2 to 3 years prior to December 2023” but only one piece since. Odd: What changed in 2024 that might have tanked the sales of these glorious examples of artistic genius? (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...

NY Post ace journo Miranda Devine @mirandadevine reports on the 2013 Beijing visit by Hunter and the obsequious Joe Biden with President Xi. VP son Hunter was given ten percent-—a billion dollar stake—— in the Chinese state's investment partnership BHR.”

This is excerpted from Devine’s must-read first book on the Biden Crime Family of grifters, “Laptop From Hell”............ an expose of whoring Hunter’s drug-fueled dissolute lifestyle.

Note well: This photograph was taken in 2013. It took court action to get the National Archives to release it. The photo predates the period granted by Hunter's pardon. Means you can go after Hunter hammer and tongs for offenses committed before 2014.
