Miranda Devine
February 6, 2025 9 mins
Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” is at the centre of the reckoning that Donald Trump is bringing to Washington. Almost the first action of the freshly sworn-in president was to sign an executive order stripping security clearances from the 51 former intelligence officials who, in October 2020, signed a letter claiming that emails from the laptop were a “Russian information operation”. Last week, he added a memorandum banning most of the former spooks from entering secure federal facilities. The Hunter Biden censors have, literally, left the building.
Uncritically reported by Politico at the time, their claims helped legitimate the Big Tech censorship of the New York Post — America’s oldest continuous daily newspaper, where I serve as a columnist — which broke the laptop story. The emails put the lie to Joe Biden’s claims that he knew “nothing” about his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings and apparent influence peddling, not least Hunter’s 2015 role in connecting his father, then Barack Obama’s vice president, with executives from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm on whose board Hunter served.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Twitter (now X), Facebook, the mainstream media, and the Deep State, all this was buried, and Biden eked out a win.

Uncritically reported by Politico at the time, their claims helped legitimate the Big Tech censorship of the New York Post — America’s oldest continuous daily newspaper, where I serve as a columnist — which broke the laptop story. The emails put the lie to Joe Biden’s claims that he knew “nothing” about his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings and apparent influence peddling, not least Hunter’s 2015 role in connecting his father, then Barack Obama’s vice president, with executives from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm on whose board Hunter served.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Twitter (now X), Facebook, the mainstream media, and the Deep State, all this was buried, and Biden eked out a win.
Four years later, a resurrected Trump piled on the punishments for the “spies who lied”, as the Post dubbed the 51 officials. “The signatories willfully weaponised the gravitas of the Intelligence Community to manipulate the political process and undermine our democratic institutions”, he wrote in his Day One executive order, followed by last week’s memorandum banning them from secure buildings.
Trump believes that the actions of the ex-spooks was a major reason why he lost the blisteringly close election of 2020, in which fewer than 45,000 votes in five states made the difference. Yet with Biden out of office, it’s all too easy to lose sight of the magnitude of the crisis that goes beyond a single election: the corruption of both America’s security apparatus and its establishment political class as embodied by the Biden family.
In hindsight, the letter signed by the 51 spies should be seen as a domestic CIA election-interference operation in cahoots with the Biden campaign. It was part of a coordinated Deep State effort to ensure that Donald Trump wouldn’t win a second term and that the sins of Joe Biden remained hidden from the American people.
Five former CIA directors or acting directors signed the letter: Mike Hayden, Leon Panetta, John Brennan, John McLaughlin, and Mike Morell. That last was the principal author, who hoped he would lead the CIA if Biden won the election. In all, 41 of the 51 signatures came from the CIA.
Morell told congressional investigators from the House Judiciary Committee in 2023 that the letter had been solicited by the Biden campaign adviser and future secretary of State, Antony Blinken, in a call to Morell, who quarterbacked it through the CIA classification review process in record time.
We now know, thanks to Andrew Makridis, then the CIA’s chief operating officer, testifying before the Judiciary committee last year, that the letter was cleared for publication by then-CIA director Gina Haspel, a protégé of Brennan’s, who also had her fingerprints on Operation Crossfire Hurricane. The operation was the foundation of Russiagate, which framed the 2016 Trump campaign for “collusion” with the Kremlin, when she was CIA station chief in London in 2016.
Morell told colleagues in an email that the letter was timed to appear on the eve of the final presidential debate to give Biden a “talking point to push back on Trump on this issue”. It worked like a charm, allowing Biden to deflect the bombshell revelations about his family’s international influence peddling.
“Look, there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant”, Biden coolly told the debate moderators. “Four, five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage”.
Trump kept harping on the laptop, with all its evidence of diamonds and millions of dollars that Hunter was paid by Chinese energy company CEFC, whose executives Biden had met in Washington. But Joe Biden denied it all: “My son has not made money in terms of this thing about — what are you talking about? — China”. He concluded his performance by looking down the barrel of the camera and addressing American voters at home: “You know his character. You know my character. You know my reputation is for honour and telling the truth. The character of the country is on the ballot.”
Yes, it was.
Getting Biden to his false vindication during the debate took a months-long team effort. In one of the regular meetings the FBI conducted with social-media companies to sound the alarm about supposed disinformation in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, somebody warned of a “hack-and-leak operations” by “state actors” involving Hunter Biden and “likely” to take place in October, according to a sworn declaration by Yoel Roth, who headed Twitter’s trust and safety department at the relevant time. The warnings were so specific that when the Post’s scoop first appeared, Facebook and Twitter recognised it and immediately throttled its reach.
Twitter claimed the story violated its “hacked-materials” policy. Officials with the company claimed that they couldn’t permit the release of journalistic material not authorised by the subject — a stance that would have rendered impossible the Pentagon Papers, the Abu Ghraib disclosures, and every other legendary scoop celebrated in journalism seminars across the land.
In the event, the laptop hadn’t been hacked. Rather, Hunter Biden had abandoned the waterlogged device in April 2019 at a Delaware repair shop without paying for services, granting the owner what lawyers call “constructive ownership.” Moreover, Twitter executives knew even at the time that their hacked-materials excuse was so much bosh, as we now know thanks to Elon Musk’s disclosure of the #TwitterFiles. But that didn’t stop them from locking the Post’s account for two weeks, silencing the newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton.
Something similar unfolded at Facebook. “Right on schedule,” a Facebook employee said of the timing of the laptop story in an internal chat obtained by the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on the weaponisation of government. “FBI tipped us all off last week that this Burisma story was likely to emerge,” an unidentified Microsoft employee wrote in another internal message.
The FBI, too, knew the Post story was not Russian disinformation. The agency had had possession of the laptop for 10 months, as prosecutors would tell a Delaware court during Hunter’s 2024 gun trial. The FBI’s forensic analysis, moreover, had concluded that the device belonged to Hunter, had not been tampered with, and was fit for use as evidence in court. CBS News reached the same conclusion after commissioning its own independent analysis of the laptop in 2022.
How did the FBI have possession of the laptop so much earlier? The Delaware store owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, became alarmed by content he found on the computer that he feared was a national-security risk. He handed the laptop to the FBI in December 2019. Nine months later, Mac Isaac handed Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, a copy of the hard drive, believing a batch of Ukrainian invoices would exonerate Trump during his first impeachment.
At the time, the Internal Revenue Service was investigating Hunter for tax violations related to his international dealings. But every time investigators Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler tried to follow a trail of evidence that led to Joe, they were obstructed by prosecutors in the office of the US attorney for Delaware, David Weiss, as Shapley and Ziegler would later tell Congress.
After they blew the whistle, Shapley and Ziegler were dismissed from their jobs. Still, their testimony derailed the suspicious sweetheart plea deal that the Biden Department of Justice had stitched up with Hunter’s lawyers, which would have amounted to probation on a couple of tax misdemeanours and immunity from future prosecution over other crimes.
The FBI knew something else, too. It had been spying on Giuliani in 2020 using a covert surveillance warrant on his iCloud. Agents thus had access to an email from Mac Isaac to Giuliani, from August 2020, disclosing information from the laptop that would damage Biden’s campaign. The FBI also would have had access to messages between me and Guiliani two months later, indicating that the New York Post was interested in the story.
To sum up all this in other words: The American security apparatus knew that the laptop was authentic; and that buried in the laptop’s treasury of bank statements, corporate documents, and homemade porn were emails that made the Democratic nominee for president look pretty bad. Nevertheless, intelligence officials at the highest levels pretended that the laptop was “disinformation” and prevailed upon Big Tech to censor the Post, with the mainstream media dutifully justifying the censorship in the name of protecting democracy.
Which brings us to Joe Biden’s grift. Depicted through the adventures of Hunter and his fast-talking uncle, Joe’s brother Jim Biden, the scale of the family’s corruption has slowly dripped into the public consciousness over the last four years. This is mainly thanks to congressional committees with subpoena power that sprang into action once Republicans retook control of the House in 2022.
But back in October 2020, the Post was on its own. In its first story, the paper revealed a 2015 email from an executive of Burisma, the Ukrainian energy firm, which was then paying Biden’s son $83,333 a month to serve on its board (his pay was cut in half after his father left the vice presidency). Vadym Pozharskyi, the executive, thanked Hunter for “the opportunity to meet your father” the previous evening in Washington.
That meeting, we later discovered, was a dinner organised by Hunter in a private room at Café Milano in Washington on 16 April, 2015, at which his powerful father met some of his colleagues from Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan. Upon the story’s publication, Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates told the media: “They never had a meeting”. Months after the election, the White House admitted that Joe Biden did attend the Café Milano dinner.
It was just one of the dozens of meetings he had during his vice presidency with his son’s foreign partners, after which millions of dollars would flow into the family coffers. Hunter would also call his father and put him on speaker phone when he wanted to impress a prospective client or partner, according to Devon Archer, Hunter’s former business partner. Another email published by the Post described a plan to allocate 10 percent of a lucrative Chinese venture to “The Big Guy” — the code name Hunter’s partners used to refer to Joe Biden.
It would take another three years for James Comer, chairman of the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee, to identify 20 shell companies created by Hunter and his partners, into which more than $30 million flowed from Chinese and other foreign entities after Joe Biden became Obama’s vice president. Incremental payments were made from those companies to at least 10 Biden family members, including Joe Biden himself.
Comer released bank records revealing that “Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered China money from the account of his brother, James [Jim] Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check”. He uncovered another $200,000 check to Joe from Jim. Both checks were labeled “loan repayment,” and the White House maintained that Joe had kindly helped his brother when he was in need; Comer could find no proof to suggest otherwise.
Even so, evidence from the laptop suggests that Hunter had paid for upkeep and maintenance of Joe Biden’s Delaware estate, as well as the monthly bill for his father’s private cellphone. Hunter footed the bill for a lot of family expenses through the years and often griped in family discussions that he never got sufficient credit. In one message on the laptop, he complains that he has had to “pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years”.
For months after Joe was sworn in as president, Democrats and their media allies ignored the laptop. Some were still in denial right up until the moment last December, when Joe Biden broke his promise not to pardon Hunter.
Days before Hunter was to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware and felony tax fraud in California, Joe Biden gave his son an unprecedented “full and unconditional pardon” for any crime he might have committed stretching back 11 years to January 2014, the year of Ukraine’s Maidan Revolution, which brought the country under the influence of the vice president from Delaware and opened the door to Biden-family self-dealing.
The pardon timeline covered all the Ukraine grift, and most of the China grift, everything that would implicate Joe Biden in Hunter’s influence-peddling. That’s another way of saying that Joe Biden effectively pardoned Joe Biden.
Then, on 27 December, new photographs emerged from an activist lawsuit against the National Archives showing then-Vice President Biden introducing Hunter to Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Chinese Communist Party dignitaries in Beijing a decade earlier. To Chinese eyes, it was clear when Hunter followed his father off Air Force Two that this was American power come to do private business. A few days later, Hunter would receive a 10 percent stake in the Chinese equity firm BHR. Hunter’s business partner in the venture, Jonathan Li, is pictured in several Beijing photographs gladhanding Joe Biden.
But the scope of Biden’s pardons went far beyond Hunter. Preemptive unconditional pardons were also granted to his brothers Jim and Frank and their wives, and his sister Val and her husband. Jim, who was deeply involved Hunter’s China dealings and had been under investigation by the Department of Justice over various deals invoking Joe’s name. Frank, the youngest, spent years avoiding paying a court-ordered $1 million to the children of a Florida man killed in a high-speed hit-and-run. A few years later, at age 49, he was arrested for shoplifting in a Florida Blockbuster when he allegedly stuffed two DVDs down his pants.
As with Hunter, Joe pardoned his siblings for all nonviolent crimes they may have committed going back to January 2014, in what seems to many like an implicit admission of guilt for the period when Joe’s power and influence in the world garnered a fortune for his family.
For many Democrats on the day of the pardon, disappointment with Joe turned to bitter rancoor. Big Tech, the Deep State, and the corporate media conspired to suppress evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption, and then he made fools of them all. He refused to give up power when he should have, and when they discarded him too late, he snookered them with an unelectable nominee, Kamala Harris, whom he had selected as his veep to fulfil a pledge to hire a woman of colour.
“No one fucks with a Biden,” he is reportedly fond of saying. You could see in the old man’s sly, lopsided grin as he turned away from the camera one last time after his party’s election drubbing, that the muscle memory of a machine politician was in full working order. In his one last act of political bastardy, Joe Biden blew up the Democratic Party. Now, as Donald Trump lays waste to all their works in Washington, they only have themselves to blame.

SubscribeI gather some Americans have the temerity to criticise Mr Trump, yet this Biden fellow seems to plumb the depths of depravity as do most of his kith and kin.
Why are so many Americans in denial that Biden is, to use the words of the late Sir John Simons KC “A piece of human refuse”?*
*Rex v Malcolm, Old Bailey. 1917.
Because to do so would be to indict the entire DEM machine and it’s Chinese and cartel backers.
I think it is because, in this era of highly partisan politics, Democrats do not want to confront the possibility that their man is not, and never was, anything but a vacuous party player. I think it may be the case that Democrats/liberals, whatever you want to call them, are as delusional as Donald Trump and his followers.
Always remember, Biden was installed by DEM leadership (Obama). They knew he was enfeebled in 2019, when he announced. They knew in an open primary Bernie was gonna win (just as he did in 2016.) So we get covid and the cabbage could run a campaign from his basement. Remember Max Headroom?
No, obviously both Democrats and Republicans are grifters .
The one sided blindness of the right as they are
sanctimoniously brainwashed into the belief
that it is only the left that takes your money !
Gosh MAGA wants still use a government system
that they told you was very easy to rig and cheat upon.
How much more blatant can the Trump con job be !
I didn’t vote for Trump in 2020, but just after that election, I sent a message to some liberal friends: “Don’t think that Biden is a good guy” — for which, I was unfriended. I imagine that in light of cumulative and especially recent events, they have washed their hands of him… but they are probably like the frog in boiling water, denying that he is/was bad, refusing to admit their mistakes.
If your friends are anything like the ones I know, they are like the frogs.
Why are so many Americans in denial that Biden is, to use the words of the late Sir John Simons KC “A piece of human refuse”?
A number of reasons. Many want to save face for their support for him and other Donkeys. Some were involved in minor ways and are merely covering their asses. Very many have a deep loathing of Trump because he is crude, vulgar, and successful against their political preferences. And quite a few are merely ignorant drones nodding along with their favorite MSM talking heads, who have never really thought about him or listened to any negative things about him.
A real mixed bag of deplorables.
What about the rest, particularly the Clintons.
I see USAid stands accused of channelling millions to the Chelsea Clinton

This is why the left is going apoplectic about the defunding of USAID. It has degraded into the official slush fund for a very tangled web of not-for-profits and NGOs that hired the children, nieces and nephews and various other DEI candidates of allies with taxpayer money. $73 billion is a very large sum. Yet when it comes time to highlight the “shut down the government” crises, we are told that essential services to the aged and sick were on the chopping block if we don’t swipe the National credit card yet again, but never this corrupt organization of bureaucrats. Few Americans even knew this criminal enterprise even existed. A full list of projects and a roster of employees needs to emerge soon.
This is a very useful tool. You put in the name and it gives you the salary.

I typed in the name of our very own Rory Stewart, surprise, surprise. No wonder he was rooting for Kamala
Good work indeed Sir!
$314,400. QED!
No wonder as you say that RS was backing Ms Harris. How does he “get away with it”? Next stop House of Lords?
$314,440 for 10 months of work, he left in October 2023.
He received $139,549 for the year 2022 when he join the NGO as president in September 2022.

Was Obama any better? He chose Biden, and supported him during Biden’s presidency, way beyond the point where Biden stopped being an active, in-charge president.
Was not Obama the de-facto president.
That us my belief.
Since Joe Biden pardoned everyone up to and including the family cat, I’d have to say so. There are somethings our betters will never let us have an answer to, I suspect this is one of them, while Trump has bigger fish to fry.
I took a leaf out of Joe’s book and photoshopped a Presidential pardon for my son. I even had it framed.
What’s the use in having a father if he can’t give you a Presidential pardon?
Presidential pardons don’t apply to state charges.
Joe could still be brought to heel if the DoJ pursued him. All of those he pardoned are prevented from pleading the 5th amendment, so can be compelled to testify. Their testimony would not be pardoned when they perjure themselves, which is quite likely since there is an email trail that they will want to obscure or deny. Don’t know if Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi will follow up. I wish they would.
I’m not sure what the cat did, if anything. 😉
Miranda Devine – you broke and stood by this story when so many in power conspired against you. With this essay you’ve again shown the depth of our institutional corruption. Sign me – grateful.
“You know my character. You know my reputation is for honour and telling the truth.”
Yes, as a long-time Delaware resident, I knew Joe’s reputation and he would do and say anything to get what he wanted. As a flag, he would go in whatever direction the wind was blowing. To me he is and was not ethical, honest, or trustworthy. I regret I voted for him once, back in the 1972 election.
This is masterfully and unequivally laid out, more concisely than I’ve seen the story told. Thank you.
Wish I could live long enough to write the mini-series this story will spawn.
Why wouldn’t you live long enough, Richard? And by all means, write your book. “Buy green bananas”, as they say ….
This piece fails to mention the Obama machine behind, and enabling Biden. Not once.
One could reasonably conclude Biden is/was Obamas flack while he started the dismantling of USA. A process which restarted in a big way during Obamas third shadow term.
But, but … Orange Man bad … surely?
Two things can be true at once. Still, no other Republican – or human? – could have led this revolution thru the past 10 years.
The rise of Caesar springs to mind, and I do hope it doesn’t have the same disastrous ending.*
*13 years of Civil War.
So far, mercifully, the Anglo-American ability to talk, less war, has held this revolution to be bloodless. Since 2008. So far….
It came very close on the 13th of July* last, I think you will admit?
*Two days before the Ides.
Let’s all look forward to MAGA counterrevolution lasting well beyond Trumps term. With no bloodshed.
Yes indeed, that would be splendid for all concerned.
In the end maybe it’s for the best Trump didn’t win in 2020. He needed to be ready for the things he’s doing now – very different President from 2016 – and the country needed to be ready for Trump 2.0
I’ve had the very same thought. I write this, on the one hand horrified by some of his foreign policy positions, and on the other hoping he and his nominees (Gabbard, Patel, RFK jr.) will carry out a wholesale cleaning of the stables in Washington, D.C.
Where O where are the likes of David French and others who insisted on the importance of “character” in our top elected official when Trump ran against Biden?
Silent.
I hope Trump throws the book at them all (including the Clintons). Corrupt through and through.
Uncritically reported by Politico at the time — and what have we learned about Politico in the USAID fallout? Oh, that’s right; it’s essentially a front operation that is paid for by the Deep State.
I doubt anything will happen to anyone named Biden, just as nothing will happen to the likes of Fauci. The left is being exposed but will rely on blind supporters and its media sheepdogs to provide cover.
Things are unraveling so quickly it is hard to keep up. The latest is the deep state sent $84 million Chelsea Clinton’s way in the belief it could never be traced. And then Elon happened.
Brilliant piece. I’d understood bits and pieces of the Hunter Biden story, but this lays it out clearly . As others have said, it’d make a great HBO miniseries, but I can’t believe it would get made.
Excellent article and the clearest summation of this string of events I’ve read anywhere. If this history was submitted as a movie script it would be rejected as completely implausible.
Lindsay Graham said it best when he confronted Dems during the Kavanaugh Senate confirmation hearings/lynching; “Boy ya’ll want power and I hope you never get it!”
Still holds true as this piece demonstrates.

Miranda Devine’s article on the Bidens seems to have disappeared from view.
Please accept our apologies—should be fixed now.
It is not appearing.
It seems to have been much worse than I had imagined. Who knows how many political decisions were bought with all of this money? How much damage was done for money?
Ole’ Joe was but a tool in the Leftists plan to undermine Western Liberal Democracies. I’m actually glad it turned out the way it did as President Trump is much more powerful and prepared to carry out a clear mandate than he would have been in narrowly winning a contested election in 2020.
The thing is with this whole Biden crime family saga, it makes Watergate look like a fairy tale.
And yet none of these clearly criminal people will go to prison it would seem at the moment.
And as bad as it is, I’ll bet it’s the tip of a very large iceberg in the DNC.
Biden may have pardoned his family. But he cannot pardon something that hasnt happened. So Trump could easily get Biden charged afresh.
Thanks for this clear, straightforward article.
and now we know Politico is/was funded by USAID (a CIA front)
Brilliant article. The type of reporting which is very rare today.
This needs to be condensed to a 1-minute video with diagrams and pictures so that the hoi-polloi can understand it.
It’s not for nothing that the Marxist/Democrat/Hate America Party is considered by many to be no more than a criminal organization.
To Champagne Socialist:
Is that it? Is that all you have, ad hominems? But of course, that’s all you have because you can’t really quarrel with Devine’s most excellent article, one presented by someone who actually is a serious journalist. Do yourself a favor, would you? Stop embarrassing yourself by revealing just how empty-headed you are. Nothing you insert into the comment section on UnHerd will ever influence our readers. You’re better placed on the John Stewart Show.
We have no democracy, bar what the likes of the wonderful Miranda Devine can secure us. Thank you. Always my favourite journalist in Australia.
Miranda you are Divine!
I have no doubt that the Spies who Lied were indeed spreading an untruth that swayed enough voters to change the election result, so in that sense the election was stolen from Donald Trump. However the end result is good because the Donald has now been elected with a righteous wrath. And, as that wonderful choir sang at the inauguration, his enemies will (hopefully) soon “feel the vengeance of his terrible swift sword”.
A valuable encapsulation, with fascinating details. I’ll now never be able to forget the image of Joe Biden’s 49-year-old baby brother Frank stuffing dvds down his pants to steal them from Blockbuster! Now with DOGE running through the USAID and other agencies’ funding, I want to know the details on Hunter Biden’s involvement with EcoHealth Alliance and biolabs in Ukraine.
Reply to Terry M:
While I completely agree with your identification of the various supporters of the Dems and the Biden family in the face of obvious and blatant deep state corruption, I would also include a legacy media that has disgraced itself as nothing more than a western version of Pravda, the prominent bought and paid for tech lords who willingly suppressed any stories about Biden’s corruption, the FBI, Justice Department, CIA, and other tools of the treasonous Democrats. No one or any government agency should be defending those unamerican bureaucrats from Wray to Brennan to the rulers of New York Times.
At least some of those americans who naively bought the Russian disinformation BS were misinformed by a well organized group of political thugs and thus can be partially understood as misled, bamboozled, or otherwise denied the truth by a group of political conspirators who should be in prison for their collusion. A pity that there are still those who would defend those agencies and political terrorists even now when Biden and the Dems are guilty of a perfidy that is now as obvious as the extortion engaged in by Biden’s son. Sheesh!
The Dems have no way to reconcile their beliefs even today with the truth that the New York Post exposed. And yet, there are millions of people who will say they didn’t vote for Biden. Of course!
Ctrl-F “Smirnov” = no results. Go kick rocks.
As always, nothing will happen to the Democratic Party miscreants.
Perfect! Bring it on.
Quite a story. Biden claims to be Irish (one of his grandmothers told him to play the Irish card when he joined the Democrats) but I’m glad to say he is mostly not Irish.
I’m trying to resist schadenfreude, but oh, it’s hard, it’s hard.
“Trump believes that the actions of the ex-spooks was a major reason why he lost the blisteringly close election of 2020”
You lost me right there. Since when does Trump admit that he lost the 2020 election?
Yep. Both sides are 100% corrupt. Burn it to the ground.
I took a moment to look at some of the comments below – my, oh my, you people really get riled up about this nonsense. Its almost as if you are complete morons who wil believe everything a convicted felon and his grifter sidekicks tell you!!!
Surely you aren’t that dumb – are you?!?!?
Despite your quite impressive efforts this article is much too devastating for you to counter with any effect whatsoever – in the absence of any specific factual rebuttals from you.
Wow, I would submit that question to you. Also, it is apparent that you are trolling shill for the Dems or whatever “elite” is paying to post this poorly formed opinion. Who is the moron now?
Biden defeated Trump by a landslide in 2020.
This laptop fantasy is comical Let’s not forget that Trump is a convicted felon as well as a sex criminal.
If Trump can escape justice, why shouldn’t Biden?
More TDS
He has not. He was convicted of 34 felony counts for a small bookkeeping error, remember? A veritable crime against humanity! And impeached twice! Please lessen your dependence on MSNBC. You must be one of the 12 or so viewers still left.
Because Trump, whatever his misdemeanours, is not guilty of treason. It’s pretty clear that Biden has been taking money from foreign interests for years.
Funny, I would put it exactly the other way around. Trump is on record as trying to subvert the election result, and fomenting insurrection. At the moment he is systematically breaking the law to empty out the government and fill it with his loyalists instead, and accepting bribes from multibillionaires. And there is no reason to think that he will ever be tried, for any of it.
As for Biden, I doubt he is clean – no US politician is clean when they need those huge campaign contributions, but I have yet to see anything that remotely justifies your accusations. I’d ask you for evidence, but it is not worth it. With your attitude nothing you could say or point to would be reliable anyway.
‘Trump is on record as trying to subvert the election result, and fomenting insurrection.’
Thousands of people arrested, and the FBI would have trawled through all of their phones and laptops, but have never found one thing that implicated Trump.
Trump challenged the 2020 election result but was unable to get a court to even look at the evidence. When this last election’s votes were cast there was an interesting trend from 2016 to 2020 to 2024. Numbers in 2016 and 2024 were very similar but 2020 vote count for Dems was around 20m more than the other 2 years. Considering he spent the entire campaign in his basement that’s quite a result!
Wow. This article is pure right wing propaganda. The author is a well known right wing provocateur. I knew that unhinge leans right, but this herding the sheep the wrong way. Time to cancel my subscription. Best of luck.
Haha! All with great detail and documentary evidence. Unlike most of the Donkey propaganda.
It is such propaganda that you failed to provide even a single example, relying instead of ad hominem.
Be sure the door doesn’t hit you on the way out.
I see that you are upset.
Nonetheless, will be eagerly waiting for you to share with us all the facts that would disprove everything stated in this article.
Please do it before cancelling your subscription.

What was said which was untrue?
