The laptop that 51 former intelligence officials said was Russian disinformation four years ago was just used to convict its owner.
On Tuesday, Hunter Biden was found guilty on all three felony gun charges, months before he’ll go on trial for federal tax crimes in September. After a week-long trial, Biden was convicted of violating an unconstitutional gun law, but he didn’t have to face the far more serious criminal allegations that are based on information revealed by his laptop (discovered by the New York Post in 2020). While Biden escaped prosecution on charges for crimes likely to implicate his president father, any trial of those crimes would have been propelled by the contents of the most embarrassing hard drive ever to go public.
Prosecutors in the Delaware gun case presented jurors with messages and photos from the laptop after the computer was accepted by a federal judge as evidence. In fact, according to the Washington Examiner, an agent from the FBI confirmed the authenticity of the hard drive at the trial, “as well as certain items of evidence from Biden’s computer data and excerpts from a memoir he wrote about his addiction battles.”
But the FBI refused to offer comment when asked by Fox News whether the agency had “any regrets” about rejecting the laptop’s authenticity. The agency itself, however, peddled the lie that the laptop was an instrument of Kremlin interference by preemptively warning social media companies to shut related stories down.
