Hunter Biden Advisers Trying to Sling Some Spin With a New Twist on the Laptop

We’ve been covering the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop for a couple of years now and all the underlying stories that have come out from the emails. Some of the liberal media has finally caught up to some of the things that we have been reporting on for so long. The New York Times started the march toward reality for the liberal media in March, acknowledging the laptop was real. Others have jumped on board since.

That’s why it’s funny that at this point, suddenly, Hunter Biden’s ‘team of advisers’ now are trying to cast doubt on the validity of the laptop.

We reported how Kevin Morris — an entertainment lawyer who has represented the creators of “South Park” — had paid off Hunter’s delinquent taxes and was helping fund his lifestyle, according to the NY Post. According to CBS News, Morris was working on a documentary about Hunter, and Hunter engaged him as an “attorney and trusted adviser” to investigate how his laptop became public and events that have happened since the laptop became public.

A source from Hunter Biden’s team of advisers told CBS News the laptop now in their possession may be the key to determining if anything was altered or added to that second laptop discovered at a Delaware repair shop — or to the other hard drives that have journeyed through multiple sets of hands,

“We have the Rosetta Stone,” the adviser said.

“They can send us theirs and we’ll see what they have,” the adviser said, referring to news outlets and various critics of Hunter Biden who have copies of the laptop contents that first went public in the New York Post during the 2020 presidential campaign. “They should be the ones with the burden of proof in this nasty circus.”

What they seem to be talking about is that there was a laptop that Hunter left with his therapist.

The laptop was in the Newburyport, Massachusetts, office of Dr. Keith Ablow, when the office was raided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, an action unrelated to Biden. But his laptop was also taken by the DEA. A source close to Ablow confirmed this to CBS News and said Ablow then sought to have the laptop returned to Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden’s legal team is claiming that the laptop the computer repair guy, John Paul Mac, turned over to the FBI isn’t the same laptop. So? Who said it was? No one. So, I’m not sure what that argument proves, even if it were true.

Even CBS News didn’t sound like they were buying this effort at spinning.

The effort appears to be aimed at blunting the impact of an ongoing federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax records and business dealings by sowing doubts about that computer, which made headlines in 2020.

Their story notes that Hunter Biden’s team hasn’t produced any evidence that there have been any alterations to the drives that have leaked.

Plus, Isaac said that he turned over the original to the FBI; so, the FBI has the original drive. If they think they can blunt what the FBI has, it’s not going to work.

Moreover, Hunter hasn’t denied that it was his laptop all this time. Indeed, he admitted that it could very well be his laptop in an interview in April 2021. Hunter has never denied dropping it off at the computer repair shop. So seriously, guys, it’s a little too late to try to spin it as not his — or that you have some magical evidence to dispute it at this point. Points for gall for trying this tack at this point. But it isn’t going to change the facts or get him out of his legal difficulty.
