If Joe Biden is as nasty and irascible with his staff as reports suggest, that wrath must reach the next level regarding his son, Hunter. This irritation might only occur when the president is lucid, which comes and goes like the tides. But Hunter Biden is why we’re having multiple committee hearings into the Biden family’s allegedly corrupt dealings, and it was because the crack cocaine-addicted disgrace of a son forgot to pick up his laptop at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware. 

Hunter dropped the laptop off in 2019. He never picked it up, leading to the shop owner, who is legally blind, making copies of the hard drive, which he later shared with the FBI and a few Republican operatives. It was the October Surprise of 2020, corroborating the allegations made by former Biden associate Tony Bobulinski, who claimed the Biden family was compromised. Bobulinski had details about the CEFC China Energy deal the first time we were introduced to the “big guy,” who we know is Joe Biden. None of this would have been possible if Hunter wasn’t a strung-out mess.

That device is a treasure map into the sordid and corrupt dealings of a family that thinks it’s above the law. The Bidens have used the veneer of middle-class appearance and the charm of an increasingly decrepit president who cannot keep up with the daily schedule, and yet, we would never have known about all these potentially illegal activities if Hunter picked up that laptop. 

It’s sheer luck because, without Hunter Biden’s gross incompetence, we wouldn’t have materials that could detonate the Biden presidency – if we’re dealing in a fair world. The ghost of Burisma could come back to haunt this family. We knew Hunter was on that energy company’s board despite having zero experience. He was paid $50,000/month. We knew why, but now we have the FBI’s report from its confidential human source, who says the Hunter arrangement was to provide legal protection, which the company got. As vice president, Joe fired a prosecutor looking into the firm, which permitted a massive aid package to be transferred to Ukraine.

In 2015-16, both Bidens got paid $5 million each for their services from the co-founder of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, who has allegedly kept phone records and a ledger of the payments. Zlochevsky is also reportedly an asset to Russian intelligence. And the first reports about the Biden Crime Family from the FBI’s source was filed in 2018. With millions flowing into the coffers, Hunter, thinking he was above the law, had some wild expenditures he tried to pass as tax-deductible; frolicking with prostitutes isn’t a legitimate deduction.

The IRS tried to investigate, with one Joseph Ziegler, a 13-year veteran, wanting to bring charges against the president’s son. The cumulative effect of the illegalities was too significant to ignore. Still, the Justice Department, teeming with political bias, blocked all potential charges from any probe into Hunter. Ziegler isn’t a Republican operative. He’s a gay Democrat. Special Agent Gary Shapley, another IRS whistleblower, was apt to observe that the agency’s investigations were hamstrung because some roads led to Joe Biden. That was a correct assumption. 

Attorney General Merrick Garland might be neck deep in the interference, as he’s offered testimony that contradicts the facts regarding charges for Hunter. He claims Delaware US Attorney David Weiss had the sole authority to file charges, which Mr. Weiss tried multiple times to do but was blocked. Garland should be impeached for perjury. Garland claimed Weiss had the authority to file charges anywhere, seemingly suggesting that the US Attorney has powers beyond that of a special counsel, though that’s another issue. If Weiss had tried to file charges in another jurisdiction, he would still need a letter from Garland authorizing that move. Where’s the letter? 

And it’s not just this Burisma arrangement. The Biden clan created multiple shell companies to move the proceeds from their government access deal with the Romanians. On paper, for years, Joe Biden was one of the least wealthy members of Congress, an oddity. What we know now from the laptop is that Joe and his son dispersed the millions of dollars across various channels, keeping the cash stashed safely away from the eyes of the government for the “big guy’s” retirement. An ex-vice president, longtime senator, and one of the faces of the Democratic Party, you know Joe was going to get a speaking gig, along with book deals and media contracts. There were plenty of ways to launder the dirty cash in this scenario. 

But Joe threw a curveball with the 2020 election. Most thought he was done with public life but decided to jump into the ring and become president. Then, Hunter’s laptop got exposed. It was authenticated, and now everyone has a roadmap into what this gruesome twosome did for years, trading away government access to the highest bidder, getting beaucoup dollars for it, and then trying to funnel the monies. 

Impeaching Joe Biden or accusing him of corruption might have seemed like a longshot at any point during his time in Washington. Thanks to Hunter hitting the crack pipe, there’s a case to impeach him.
