Whose idea was it, anyway, back in the spring of 2020, to retrieve this broken hack from the dumpster of discarded Democratic Party primary candidates and jam him into the role of nominee for president? You’d suspect Barack Obama, of course, since the former president had set-up a war-room across town from the White House during the Trump interregnum, and had openly bragged that he’d love nothing better than to someday kick back in a warm-up suit and phone-in governing orders to a stand-in dummy occupying the oval office.

Except Mr. Obama famously disdained his former veep. The few duties “Joe Biden” had in that role (under poor supervision apparently), he converted into a money-laundering and grift operation — most notoriously his adventures in pre-war Ukraine, where First Son Hunter played bag-man from his seat on the Burisma gas company board. That racket evolved quickly and neatly so that at just about every airport around the world that Air Force Two landed, Hunter and “Joe” were clocking-in fat bribes, supposedly for “influence.” That was the joke, of course, because “Joe Biden” had no influence with his President Obama, who regarded him as an idiot, a bumbling Inspector Clouseau, of whom he famously said, “Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up." ...

Despite the blob’s best efforts, the content of Hunter’s laptop was already leaking onto the Interwebs, photos of Hunter naked with whores, guns, and drugs, deal memos between shadowy foreigners and Hunter’s Rosemont-Seneca money laundromat. But, of course, the news media buried all that and social media censored it. ...

The slime trail of crimes he leaves behind would be easy to follow by law enforcement officials actually interested in crime. He’s likely to pardon himself at the last moment, and pardon a long roster of federal officials who have committed crimes with and behind him. One way or another, they are going to be found out, even if many manage to evade prosecution.

CBS' Catherine Herridge broke down a fascinating Biden bank record that the House Oversight Committee posted on Wednesday.

The bank record was a 2018 email purportedly written by a money laundering investigator who was raising questions about money flowing into accounts connected to Hunter Biden.

Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge has blown the whistle to reveal that CBS executives actively blocked coverage of the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” scandal, despite the story being ready to publish well before the 2022 midterms.

Herridge, a longtime national security and investigative reporter who previously served as Fox News’s chief intelligence correspondent, joined CBS in 2019 as a senior investigative correspondent.

She was fired in 2024 after probing the Hunter Biden laptop case.

The backstory of the infamous laptop dates back to April 2019.

At the time, Hunter Bide, reportedly intoxicated, arrived at the Delaware computer repair shop run by John Paul Mac Isaac with three damaged MacBook Pro laptops.

One device was destroyed beyond repair and returned to Hunter.

A second laptop required a keyboard that Mac Isaac loaned to him, a keyboard that was never returned.

The third laptop Hunter left behind for repair.

Hunter Biden never came back to retrieve it.

After repeated unsuccessful attempts to contact him, Mac Isaac lawfully took ownership of the abandoned device under his shop’s policy.

In October 2020, The New York Post published emails from the laptop.

The “October surprise” revealed evidence that Hunter Biden conducted foreign business dealings and acted as a financial conduit for Joe Biden as part of an international influence-peddling operation.

Herridge says CBS executives delayed reporting the story, despite the fact that her investigation was complete ahead of the midterms.
