The laptops are real. The FBI has known this since 2019, when it first took possession of them. When the New York Post attempted to report on them, dozens of the most senior national security officials in the United States lied to the public, claiming the laptops were likely part of a Russian “disinformation” plot. Twitter, Facebook, and Google, operating as fully integrated branches of the state security infrastructure, carried out the government’s censorship orders based on that lie. The press swallowed the lie and cheered on the censorship.
The story of the laptops has been framed as many things, but the most fundamental truth about it is that it was the successful culmination of the yearslong effort to create a shadow regulatory bureaucracy built specifically to prevent a repeat of Trump’s 2016 victory.
It may be impossible to know exactly what effect the ban on reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptops had on the 2020 vote, but the story was clearly seen as threatening enough to warrant an openly authoritarian attack on the independence of the press. The damage to the country’s underlying social fabric, in which paranoia and conspiracy have been normalized, is incalculable. ...
While the laptop is the best-known case of the ruling party’s intervention in the Trump-Biden race, its brazenness was an exception. The vast majority of the interference in the election was invisible to the public and took place through censorship mechanisms carried out under the auspices of “election integrity.” The legal framework for this had been put in place shortly after Trump took office, when the outgoing DHS chief Jeh Johnson passed an 11th-hour rule—over the vehement objections of local stakeholders—declaring election systems to be critical national infrastructure, thereby placing them under the supervision of the agency. Many observers had expected that the act would be repealed by Johnson’s successor, Trump-appointed John Kelly, but curiously it was left in place.
Son of U.S. pResident Sues Marco Polo
We have been subjected to egregious & expensive lawfare for publishing the truth.
Marco Polo, our nonprofit research group, released the Report on the Biden Laptop. The infamous device contains, at the very least, 459 violations of state & federal laws & regulations. Our motives & budget for writing the Report were clear, & thousands of Americans financed its production. The Report is simple, but dense: 640+ pages, 2,020 footnotes. It's broken up neatly into 7 sections with the biggest section—the most important section—being Business-Related Crimes. We believe it's the deepest digital colonoscopy ever performed on a sitting U.S. first family, & it's free to read on our website: BidenCrimes.info.
So, as a result of this Report (& our free repositories of the data from the abandoned device, namely, BidenLaptopEmails.com & BidenLaptopMedia.com), the American first family & their degenerate benefactors have waged a vicious lawfare campaign against us. The lawyers for the pResident's son have sent letters to at least 5 different government agencies demanding that we be criminally prosecuted for simply publishing the authentic data from the device. These disgusting demands were recently compounded by an egregiously over-broad subpoena, which was issued in [a] civil lawsuit in Delaware & more critically—& the reason for this update—is [that] 2 SLAPPs [Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation] have been filed against us in whichMarco Polo & myself, Garrett Ziegler, are named as defendants.
The first, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, is the result of the bankroller of the U.S. first family, a very degenerate but wealthy lawyer named Kevin Morris. The case number for that is 23-SMCV-01418, in the L.A. County Superior Court.
The second, just filed yesterday and, again, the reason for the update—is [that] the son of the U.S. pResident, Hunter Biden, has filed a civil case against us in the Central District of California, 23-CV-07593, & it alleges ridiculous claims about us hacking his iCloud & other things that are so far from the truth I don't even know where to start. Winston & Strawn should be embarrassed of themselves—that they put their name on this. This is slop.
But I wanted to thank you, first of all, for the over two years of support. We've done exactly what we told you that we were going to do with your grass roots army. The reason why we've been able to do this—& the reason why we're being sued—is because we're effective! And we're effective because we're grass roots funded, & I just want to thank you so much for standing behind us in this lawfare. You can always get updates at marcopolo501c3.org.
Godspeed.
Except that the DOJ is irredeemably corrupt.

Recent Treasury documents purport to expose alleged transactions between Hunter Biden and an “Eastern European prostitution ring,” during a period known for his self-admitted substance abuse.
The documents reveal Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) scrutinized by DailyMail.com, highlighting that Biden’s accounts were closely monitored, extending to December 2019, according to an exclusive report from The Daily Mail.
The examination came to light after financial crime investigators at Wells Fargo reportedly uncovered questionable payments between Hunter and his companies to suspected entities linked to sex trafficking in Eastern Europe.
Treasury documents unveiled details of transactions that seemed to conceal payments to sex workers, camouflaging them as business expenses.
According to a report submitted to the Department of Treasury on December 17, 2019, by Wells Fargo, nearly $7 million in dubious transactions were identified.
The document, sourced confidentially, stated, “Biden has sent money to individuals who may be part of an Eastern European prostitution ring.”
Hunter reportedly had an extensive history of spending on escorts, depicting transactions amounting to around $30,000 over five months.
These transactions were depicted in SARs, signaling the presence of alarming financial activities that may be associated with “prostitution and or drugs.”
And his brother, too.

Last year, Joe Biden and the democrats passed a megalithic bill with the Orwellian moniker of “the Inflation Reduction Act.” Among other historic largesse, it awarded the IRS $80 billion dollars to hire the world’s largest army of 80,000 new IRS agents to “go after wealthy tax evaders.”
Some folks have wondered just how many ‘wealthy tax evaders’ Biden thinks there are.
They might not need to look very far. One of the wealthy tax evaders could even be living in Biden’s house in Maui right now. The irony of Hunter’s tax problems has completely escaped the corporate media, which have wasted tons of chances to sprinkle some sly humor into their otherwise-obsequious stories.
House Oversight Committee releases video explaining how Joe Biden allegedly got $40,000 in laundered Chinese money
It's a slow news day and CBS/ABC/CNN/MSNBC aren't going to run this story, but you should see it.
Remember 10% for the Big Guy?
Remember how Hunter Biden threatened his Chinese associate by telling him his father was sitting with him waiting for his phone call?
Rep. James Comer lays out the financial evidence that all of this is connected:

Here's a handy diagram the Oversight Committee made with the connections:
Joe literally got 10% of the $400,000 that landed in Hunter's account!
Any journalists care to ask Joe about this shady setup?
Any at all?
Biden campaign, Blinken orchestrated intel letter to discredit Hunter Biden laptop story, ex-CIA official says
April 21, 2023
Brooke Singman
Fox News
A former CIA official testified that then-Biden campaign senior adviser, now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken "played a role in the inception" of the public statement signed by current and past intelligence officials that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, and revealed that Blinken was "the impetus" of the public statement signed in October 2020 that implied the laptop belonging to Hunter Biden was disinformation.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, sent a letter to Blinken Thursday, notifying him that the panels are "conducting oversight of federal law-enforcement and intelligence matters within our respective jurisdictions."
"We are examining that public statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials that falsely discredited a New York Post story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop as supposed Russian disinformation," they wrote. "As part of our oversight, we have learned that you played a role in the inception of this statement while serving as a Biden campaign advisor, and we therefore request your assistance with our oversight."
Why does the omnipotent deepstate even allow this prosecution?
RWSGFY says
Why does the omnipotent deepstate even allow this prosecution?
What prosecution? This "investigation" has gotten Hunter out of the Congressional examination and will be slow walked. Now watch for more stepped up phony prosecutions on Trump.
Why the sudden change? Why couldn't they keep on keeping it under wraps?
