Greed, Grift & Debauchery
Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide
By Miranda Devine
A “disheveled man, smelling of booze and cigarettes” drops off a laptop for repair at a Wilmington, Delaware, computer shop. After examining the liquid-damaged device, the proprietor, John Paul Mac Isaac, asks for the owner’s name and has him sign the work order. Later, Mac Isaac retrieves the data from the laptop and makes several unsuccessful attempts to contact the owner.
The disheveled owner of the laptop was Hunter Biden.
Several months later, Mac Isaac examined the laptop data and discovered a decade of corporate documents, emails, text messages, photographs, and voice recordings. Shocked by much of what he found, Mac Isaac contacted the FBI.
Laptop from Hell is the 210-page story of the Biden family as recorded on Hunter Biden’s laptop. The device provides us with a glimpse into a family brew of cronyism, greed, grift, and debauchery, mixed with a variety of drugs. In the opening pages, Hunter Biden rents the garden cottage by the pool of the Chateau Marmont for $820 a night. To ramble around town, Hunter rents a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder for $650-per-day. As the author, Miranda Devine, states, “While Joe Biden waged a war on white privilege from the White House, his own family was the living embodiment of the worst of it.”
The information on the laptop might have swayed enough voters to prevent Biden from winning the presidential election. We’ll never know. Big tech, the mainstream media, and others that should have known better deemed the laptop to be disinformation or “Russian propaganda.” Now, seventeen months later, even some left-leaning media outlets are admitting the information on the laptop is real. The New York Times has declared the story newsworthy and is reporting on the material. Miranda Devine covered this story early on with an in-depth series of articles in the New York Post.
The book is a disturbing chronicle of political venality. Laptop from Hell expands upon Devine’s reporting and, through texts, emails, and corporate records, reveals the corrupt details that the Chinese, Russians, and others have known about Hunter Biden and his associates. Now, they are gaining wider awareness.
According to texts and emails on the laptop, Hunter leveraged his father’s status to schedule clandestine meetings and garner high-paying deals with corrupt foreign businesspeople in Ukraine, Romania, Monaco, Mexico, and China. Did Joe Biden know about his son’s corrupt deals with foreign officials? A few texts and emails recorded in the book imply Joe Biden knew but, Hunter worked hard to provide his father with plausible deniability while using the income to support the lavish lifestyle of the family and his cocaine habit.
Devine does weave some of the threads together with the needed background, but much is left unsaid because the book limits its narrative to the ten years recorded on the hard drive. Before I read Laptop from Hell, I thought of myself as a cynical person. Like Clinton Cash, a book that I read years ago, Laptop from Hell opened my eyes to new levels of cronyism, greed, and grift. I recommend Americans read both books and then take a long shower.
