I was the first journalist to authenticate Hunter Biden’s laptop using top cyber forensics experts in early 2021. I have followed his story ever since.
Now that he’s been convicted of three felonies, the most important thing to know is this: Hunter Biden doesn’t matter.
He is not a public servant. He is not running for office.
But he and his infamous laptop provide a window into the inner circle of our nation’s president. And that is extremely important.
So when I looked out that window, what did I see?
Evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s shady foreign dealings and has been lying about it ever since.
Hunter Biden himself is not important and whether he escapes conviction for three felonies is of no great importance to the nation.
As the first journalist to authenticate Hunter’s laptop using top cyber forensics experts in early 2021, all I saw was evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s shady foreign dealings and has been lying about it ever since.
One email lists ‘the big guy’ as a possible 10% partner in a deal with CEFC, a company the Justice Department has proven to be part of a Chinese government influence operation.
Text messages between partners in that deal caution against mentioning that Joe was indeed involved.
Hunter texted his Chinese business partners telling them Joe was sitting next to him and wanted to know why they hadn’t transferred $10 million yet, while geolocation data shows Hunter was at Joe’s house that day .
A voicemail from Joe from 2018, after the New York Times wrote a tentative story suggesting Hunter might be involved with CEFC, expresses neither shock nor dismay.
Instead, Joe read the story and told Hunter, “I think you’ve got it straight.”
Joe repeatedly dined with Hunter’s business associates, met with them at the White House, and spoke with them on speakerphone with Hunter.
And an anonymous whistleblower told me he was on a conference call with then-Vice President Joe, Hunter and others discussing “revenue projections” for a Latin American online gambling company.
That’s why I keep writing about Hunter.
I think we should pursue evidence of public corruption, even if it leads to identifying the preferred presidential candidate.
Amid all the shocking messages involving Joe Biden, arguably the most important email of the 154,000 found on Hunter’s abandoned laptop is the infamous “big guy” email, written by Hunter’s partner, James Gilliar, which suggested the president was secretly involved in and intended to profit from an alleged Chinese influence operation
The experts concluded that no evidence was found that “suggests that the data was fabricated.” Pictured: A selfie of Joe and Hunter (left) and former Biden associate Tony Bobulinski (right)
Hunter’s serious gun crimes can be viewed through the same lens: They are important to the extent that they reflect Joe Biden.
If it weren’t for the First Family, Joe might have been a prosecution witness last week.
He had lunch with Hunter five days before purchasing the gun and three days later told him in a voicemail that he needed to “get help.”
‘What did you see, President Biden, during that lunch that prompted you to tell your son to get help?’ a prosecutor might have asked.
Joe not only knew that Hunter was an addict; There is compelling evidence that he knew at the time that Hunter purchased a gun.
According to the gun store owner, Secret Service agents showed up demanding Hunter’s purchase form.
Are we to believe they never briefed former Vice President Joe? Or that Hunter or Hallie never told him?
And yet, the president has previously stated that his son “has done nothing wrong.” Now it seems he knew that was false.
Hunter, known for having struggled with drug abuse, was found guilty of lying about his addiction on a federal form he used to purchase a firearm on October 12, 2018. He is pictured posing naked with a gun.
Text messages between partners in that deal warn against mentioning that Joe was indeed involved
Joe attempted to take a moral stand last week by telling ABC that he won’t forgive Hunter (note, however, that he didn’t say anything about commuting his son’s sentence).
It was a statement designed to provoke a comparison with his political opponent Donald Trump, who complained that his own trials were “rigged” and has been happy to wield the power of the presidential pardon for his own purposes.
But Joe’s pious acceptance of Hunter’s conviction also serves to distance him from his son’s actions, when on every level the two are closely linked.
Even now, Joe says he supports his son appealing his conviction based on the Second Amendment.
Once again, Hunter himself is not important. Whether he deviates from his conviction is of no great importance to the nation.
But if Hunter wins on those grounds, he will set a legal precedent that could prevent the prosecution of drug addicts who buy guns. And that, I would say, is contrary to the security of Americans.
The irony of Joe learning that Hunter was convicted of gun crimes while at a gun control event in Atlanta on Tuesday was lost on no one.
The emails, text messages, photographs and documents uncovered by DailyMail.com have added to a growing body of evidence suggesting Joe had links to his son Hunter’s shady dealings.
He highlighted that supporting his son in his appeal to the Second Amendment is nothing short of hypocrisy.
Yet the Bidens’ investigation has been deemed unimportant, morally reprehensible or slavishly partisan.
This has been the message from Democrats and the left-wing media, who present themselves as morally superior to their right-wing rivals.
Venerable newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post turned a blind eye for years to the trove of information on Hunter’s laptop that pointed to the possible corruption of our current president.
They dismissed the laptop as “Russian disinformation,” a claim proven false once again by the FBI’s paper trail presented at Hunter’s trial last week.
So, I admit, it’s a low bar to claim moral superiority over Trump, who lied on his loan applications, falsified payment records to a porn star to keep quiet about his alleged affair, and pushed baseless election fraud conspiracy theories.
But America’s best and brightest media outlets have doggedly and skillfully investigated those misdeeds. They should apply the same treatment to ‘Big Guy’.
