In this episode of “The Never-Ending Hunter Biden Laptop Story, and the Lying Liars Who Did Their Damnedest to Cover It Up to Protect Joe Biden’s A** Right Before the Election”…

Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson on Sunday blistered The New York Times, as reported by the New York Post (see: “karma,” below), for finally coming clean and confirming the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop on Wednesday.

The NY Post broke the story in October 2020 and continued reporting on Joe Biden’s crack head son Hunter’s foreign business dealings, and connection to Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, while daddy was vice president.

As RedState reported on Thursday, initial reports on the laptop were met with widespread claims of “disinformation” and censorship. Among the “best in show,” we had the shameless, lying California Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff, who infamously declared in October 2020:

We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin. That’s been clear for well over a year now that they’ve been pushing this false narrative about this vice president and his son.

During an interview with ​host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Johnson first went after the NYT, as the NY Post, no doubt gleefully, transcribed.

I am just amazed that the New York Times just now came to the conclusion that the Hunter Biden laptop was genuine. Where have they been? That was pretty obvious within a week or two of the New York Post’s stories.

T​​he FBI had to know that. They wouldn’t tell us when we were offered the laptop. I couldn’t take it because I had to do my due diligence. The FBI knew. We reached out to the FBI. They wouldn’t tell us it was genuine. They should have. But they didn’t. People should be outraged.

Johnson called on the NYT to apologize (sure, it will), as well as the 51 so-called “intelligence experts” (none have done so, as Nick Arama wrote on Saturday) who originally rushed to dismiss the laptop as Russian disinformation in a letter released just days after the NY Post’s exclusive reports.​

The New York Times is finally, quietly, covering its tracks. Where are all the other apologies? Where is the apology from the 5[1] intelligence … operatives?

What they really said was that the laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. I had absolutely no information whatsoever, no evidence that this was Russian disinformation. So, you have all these intelligence operatives confirming … a false story.

It was obvious very early on that the Hunter Biden laptop was genuine. They never should have tainted the process with that letter, but they did. Are they going to apologize for it? I’m not holding my breath.

You better breathe, senator. When CNN pundit and professional liar James Clapper — who was nearly charged for perjury for lying to Congress — signs a letter saying the laptop “has the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” that guy, of all guys, is not about to apologize for getting caught lying his partisan ass off.

Near the end of the segment, Johnson observed what we’ve known for decades about the so-called “mainstream” news outlets —  and over the last six years, the lapdog media’s efforts to destroy Donald Trump:

My main point is that the mainstream media, their bias, their corruption, their complicity in the Russian collusion hoax, interfered with our elections.

Had a far greater impact on our elections than anything Russia or China ever could hope to accomplish. But they’re never held accountable because they have to hold themselves accountable, and they are not going to do that.

Bingo, Senator Johnson. Incidentally, which was better, to finally be vindicated for the work you’ve done on this slimy episode, or to know it all along and be ignored by the “mainstream” media sock puppets?

I suspect the latter.
