Hunter Biden’s Latest Fairy Tale Is an Attempt to Rewrite History
Hunter Biden is once again attempting to rewrite one of the most thoroughly documented political scandals in modern American history.
Hunter Biden is once again attempting to rewrite one of the most thoroughly documented political scandals in modern American history. As Miranda Devine reported in the New York Post, Hunter is on a shameless media blitz promoting his latest documentary while resurrecting the same tired conspiracy theories that collapsed years ago and concocting some new ones.
This time, Hunter claims that the infamous laptop was somehow transformed into a collection of fabricated “mixed tapes” by a cast of villains that supposedly included Rudy Giuliani, Russians, former psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, and me.
That allegation is false. Let me state this as plainly as I possibly can. I never possessed Hunter Biden’s laptop. I never possessed the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop. I never communicated with Rudy Giuliani or anyone else about obtaining, reviewing, distributing, or publishing the laptop or its contents.
Everything I know about Hunter Biden’s laptop I learned by reading the New York Post and Ms. Devine’s two best selling books “Laptop From Hell” and “The Big Guy” just as millions of other Americans did.
Hunter’s effort to lump me into this fictional narrative is nothing more than an attempt to manufacture villains because he cannot escape the facts. Those facts are not in dispute.
Hunter Biden abandoned the laptop at John Paul Mac Isaac’s repair shop in Delaware in April 2019. When it was never reclaimed, Mac Isaac ultimately turned the device over to the FBI. FBI investigators possessed the laptop for months before the story became public. Independent forensic examinations concluded that the data was authentic. The laptop itself was later introduced as evidence during Hunter Biden’s federal gun prosecution. His own attorneys never succeeded in proving it was fabricated because it wasn’t.
The contents have been corroborated repeatedly by emails, text messages, financial records, photographs, videos, witness testimony, congressional investigations, and subsequent reporting. Those are facts not conspiracy theories.
Yet Hunter continues insisting that somehow everyone else is lying and he’s the only one who’s right. That strategy may work in Hollywood documentaries financed by wealthy benefactors eager to rehabilitate his reputation. It may appeal to sympathetic podcast hosts and friendly interviewers who never challenge his claims. It may even satisfy those who desperately want history rewritten. It cannot change reality.
The laptop revealed embarrassing details about Hunter Biden’s personal life, but it also exposed serious questions surrounding his overseas business dealings, his relationships with foreign interests, and the extraordinary access that appeared to accompany the Biden family name. Those issues deserved scrutiny then, and they deserve scrutiny now.
Instead of addressing those questions honestly, Hunter has chosen a familiar strategy: attack the messengers, invent conspiracies, and accuse innocent people of participating in some elaborate political plot. I refuse to allow my name to become part of that fiction.
The irony is impossible to ignore. For years, Hunter Biden and his political allies insisted the laptop was “Russian disinformation.” That claim has collapsed under the weight of overwhelming evidence. The authenticity of the device has been established repeatedly. Even major news organizations that once dismissed the story were eventually forced to acknowledge the truth.
Now that the “Russian disinformation” narrative has failed, Hunter has simply invented a new one. Apparently, facts are flexible whenever they become politically inconvenient.
Addiction is a tragedy. Recovery deserves respect. But neither addiction nor recovery erases documentary evidence. Neither does it change emails that were sent, business transactions that occurred, photographs that exist, or records that have been authenticated. Nor does it justify falsely accusing people who had absolutely nothing to do with the laptop.
Americans have watched this saga unfold for years. They are perfectly capable of distinguishing between verified evidence and public relations. History should be written from facts, not from documentaries designed to salvage damaged reputations.
Hunter Biden may be able to rewrite his script. He cannot rewrite history.
Once a person tries to refute overwhelming evidence, that person now has the burden of proof.
And so far, all of Hunter Biden's claims that attempt to refute the evidence have fallen far short of meeting that burden.
As an example: For him to make claims that those stories were "Russian disinformation" falls far short of refuting that point. One must be mindful that what those "intelligence" officials said was, "This story has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation." The disingenuous letter signed by those 57 officials never said it was Russian disinformation; they only said it appeared to have those traits. So if Hunter is trying to refute that story, he is, by circling back, saying that it is true.
Also, there is not now, nor has there ever been, any evidence that shows a different provenance for the infamous laptop than what Roger has cited in the article.
Another point about the "Russian disinformation" letter is that the person who was the ringleader in that letter was Antony Blinken, who later was appointed by Hunter's daddy to be Secretary of State. Was that a payback for his organization of the letter? I don't know. But it seems more plausible than any of Hunter's ridiculous statements about the laptop's provenance.
Notice how long it has taken to draft this carefully crafted narrative. Half the country is actively involved in deflection and gas lighting. Empirical evidence makes that task more difficult, hence the elapsed time. Perhaps our side will gain a small percentage of converts that are able to see the ridiculousness of the Biden crime family fiction.
Also, Hunter didn't devise this on his own. The Biden family has a very expensive team of "experts" that are, no doubt, still paid for by the American taxpayer.
