The New York Post’s bombshell story exposing Hunter Biden’s laptop with its trove of emails and other compromising materials has been widely ignored and censored by the mainstream media with the excuse of it being “unverified.” Likewise, it’s been censored by social media on the equally dubious grounds of it being hacked material and possible disinformation. Yet the story is proving to be anything but fake news or a conspiracy theory.

On Thursday, the email the Post cited that purports to show a Burisma executive thanking Hunter Biden for setting up a meeting with his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, was confirmed by a well respected cybersecurity expert as authentic. Frankly, the email could be read ambiguously to conclude that the meeting was only set up, or that it actually happened. Either way, and tellingly, the Biden campaign has denied only that there was no official record of it on Biden’s calendar, and Team Biden has never denied the authenticity of the email itself, or anything else on the laptop for that matter. What Biden, Democrats, and the media have done is falsely dismiss it as a Russian disinformation campaign — an assertion U.S. intelligence authorities have debunked.

Also yesterday, the Justice Department confirmed that the FBI opened a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden and his associates in 2019 over possible money laundering and that the investigation “remains open and active today.” The DOJ’s admission lends further credibility to Biden associate Tony Bobulinski’s claim that Joe Biden is lying when he denies having ever spoken with Hunter regarding his foreign business deals. Bobulinski further alleged that not only was Joe Biden well aware of Hunter’s foreign business dealings, but he was directly involved in them.

Bobulinski confirmed that, following his whistleblowing press conference last week, the FBI interviewed him, searched his cellphones, and listed him as a “material witness” in its investigation. Investigative journalist John Solomon also reported on Thursday that “there is activity … of the FBI contacting witnesses [and] talking to people” regarding Hunter Biden and the data found on his laptop.

In his interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, Bobulinski said that at one point during a meeting with Joe’s brother, he said, “I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying, ‘How are you guys getting away with this? Aren’t you concerned?’ He looked at me and he laughed a little bit and said, ‘Plausible deniability.’” That is precisely the strategy the Biden camp has employed, though it works only with a completely compliant news media that refuses to do any digging or even ask any questions.

Just how much impact this growing Biden corruption scandal will have on the outcome of the election with only four days to go is anybody’s guess. However, what is clear is that the mainstream media has decided to do everything in its power to ignore and downplay it through Election Day because of the erroneous and absolutely contradictory assertion that American democracy is at stake. Hopefully, a majority of Americans see through the lie.
