Democrats and many of their willing acolytes in media have been doing everything they can to spin the influence peddling scandal surrounding Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

After the NY Post’s story of Hunter’s laptop dropped, the left tried to claim that it was somehow “Russian disinformation.” This of course made no sense as there was nothing to link Russia to any part of the story about the laptop. But it was all the more ironic given that in face in the 2016 election it was Democrats, the DNC, and the Clinton team who paid for what was likely Russian disinformation to undermine a political opponent.

As my colleague Bonchie and I have both noted, there were already a lot of indications that the laptop and the emails were real, from verified email addresses, pictures and videos of Hunter Biden, even people on an email thread verifying the email.

But now, Rudy Giuliani has made their spin just a little bit harder.

The Hunter Biden hard drive is authenticated by:

The NY Post,

My attorney Bob Costello

A receipt SIGNED BY HUNTER BIDEN.

It’s also been authenticated by Biden’s attorney who called the merchant a day before it appeared and asked for Hunter Biden’s computer.

So he’s saying Hunter left the laptop with the store owner to be fixed and signed a receipt, and they have that receipt. Plus on top of that, Hunter’s attorney, George Mesires, called up the store owner and tried to get it back.

There’s more evidence that adds weight to that claim as well as journalist Adam Housley explains.

Hunter Biden’s attorney called John Paul’s shop a few days back and asked for Hunter’s computers back. FYI. You don’t ask for someone else’s computers…you ask for your own. FYI

The attorney also contacted the shop owner by email and they have that email, which you can see here, which just has private information redacted by Adam Housley.

Here ya go….this is the email sent to John Paul by Hunter Biden's lawyer. It is in reference to returning the laptops. Also…the attorney said Hunter dropped em off in 2017. Nope..try April 2019. He didn't even know when he left em there. Redactions on this document are mine https://t.co/QszglOJV1d pic.twitter.com/VvEguJ0Cec

So at this point, it’s getting more than difficult to spin this as “Russian disinformation” unless Democrats are going to claim George Mesires and Hunter Biden are both Russian agents, too?

But they’re still trying, despite the fact that it makes no sense and all the facts have piled up against it.

Meanwhile Biden himself has refused to entertain questions about the scandal and has failed to even deny that the laptop was Hunter’s. We previously reported that he attacked the first reporter to ask him about it, Bo Erickson and accused him of a “smear campaign.”

I asked Joe Biden: What is your response to the NYPost story about your son, sir?

He called it a “smear campaign” and then went after me. “I know you’d ask it. I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.” pic.twitter.com/Eo6VD4TqxD

Today he completely refused to answer and stomped off when a reporter tried to ask.

Now, Biden has even gone into hiding until the debate, hoping to avoid questions.

When they still can’t even deny the laptop was Hunter’s, you know they’re in trouble.
