The Hunter Biden Story Was Always About Joe’s Corruption

As Dan O’Donnell explains, now that The New York Times has confirmed that the Hunter Biden emails are genuine, it’s time to revisit the story and understand that the President of the United States was engaged in international bribery while he was Vice President.

If politics was the “Encanto” soundtrack, Democrats and their media enablers would have been singing “We Don’t Talk About Hunter” for the past 17 months. It was nearing Election Day and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky; no clouds allowed in the sky save for Joe Biden’s lowlife son and his infamous laptop.

When The New York Post reported in October 2020 that the younger Biden had been using his father’s position as the Obama Administration’s lead on American-Ukrainian relations to apparently enrich them both, the rest of the media refused to follow up or even mention the story. Social media took this blackout a step further, as Facebook limited the ability of users to share the article and Twitter suspended the Post’s account.

The report, a “bipartisan group of intelligence officials” claimed, was “had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation,” and this justified the censorship of it. In this absurd narrative, the Russians were interfering in the 2020 election just as they had in 2016, and again with the intention of electing Donald Trump.

The media, desperate to prevent this, dismissed the story out of hand instead of trying to corroborate it, and with Big Tech making it nearly impossible for people to share the Post’s reporting, it was effectively buried.

Only now, nearly two years after Joe Biden was safely elected, can the media confirm that in fact the Post’s story was correct all along. In an update on the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s obviously corrupt business dealings, The New York Times reported this week that “emails from a cache of files” that form the basis of this investigation came “from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.”

Well then. Can we finally talk about Hunter? What the traditional and social media censors knew from the outset of the scandal was that its center was never a deadbeat drug addict with a penchant for getting lucrative overseas work; it was the Vice President of the United States using said deadbeat drug addict as his bag man in what may be one of the most significant cases of international influence peddling in American history.

In April 2019, Hunter Biden dropped off his laptop at a repair shop in Delaware and then, being a deadbeat drug addict, forgot all about it. After the owner of the shop decided it was abandoned, he powered it on and was so shocked at its contents that he alerted the FBI and then President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani.

Both the FBI and the Trump team launched investigations, with Giuliani traveling to Ukraine to follow up on the leads the laptop provided and President Trump calling new Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” Trump said. “Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me.”
