The reporter who broke the New York Post's bombshell story on the Hunter Biden laptop speaks out after the legacy media rejected the scandal during the 2020 election.

    The original claim in 2020 was that the laptop contained emails that showed corrupt deals being made between (then vice president) Joe Biden and Ukrainian officials to protect his son’s business interests in a Ukrainian gas company.

    This claim was put forward after Trump had been impeached for making corrupt deals with Ukrainian officials. Republicans wanted to impeach Joe Biden for the same thing. Unfortunately, the laptop doesn’t contain anything that could be seen as evidence of corruption.

    It does have dick pics and drug stuff on it though, and it’s illegal to own guns and drugs at the same time. Since Hunter owns guns, he probably broke that law. A bit of a step down from Joe Biden being corrupt.

      Yes the laptop does not contain communication between Hunter and Joe discussing corrupt deals. It does contain details of Hunter making corrupt deals that Hunter claims Joe was party to. Joe’s knowledge of those deals would need to be corroborated by some other source. It’s not just dick and drug pics on the laptop.

          I don’t need to see the laptop my self it has been authenticated and contents given to the NY Post who published them. Hunter himself confirmed the emails to be authentic under oath.

          The dipshits in congress have been trying for almost a year and a half to find anything to pin on Biden and have failed spectacularly. The laptop might have incriminating stuff about Hunter, but Joe Biden is famously a different person, and is clean.

          But hey, if you want to be outraged at the blatant corruption displayed by Trumps daughter and son in law as they held official positions in the federal government, something that Hunter never has, then we can at least pretend to care about the idiotic laptop. Oh yeah and also the convicted felon and rapist Donald Trump himself.

          But you won’t. So it’s fine.
