IS THERE A REAL HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP
WHERE DID THE LAPTOP STORY BEGIN
A computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware had three broken laptop computers dropped off to see if any could be repaired. The repair order was signed by the name Hunter Biden. The repairman was not familiar with Hunter as being the son of a presidential candidate. The repair man was not familiar with the physical appearance of Hunter, and could not on the basis of visual recognition , say the man was Hunter.
One of the laptops was able to be repaired. The repairman sent a notice to Hunter that he could pick up the computer.
Hunter did not come back for the computer, and the repair man noticed that there were emails involving Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Joe’s brother Jim Biden as well as other important people.
It appeared to the repair man that there were millions of dollars of pay offs. The repair man was suspicious that possibly illegal activities were referenced.
The repair man asked a friend what he should do about the suspicious email messages and the computer.
The friend thought the email messages related to possible crimes. The friend contacted the FBI and related the concerns about possible criminality. The FBI then took possession of the laptop and notified the repair man that they started an investigation.
Before handing the laptop over to the FBI, a copy was made of the entire hard drive.
After taking possession of the laptop and starting an investigation, the computer repairman heard nothing further from the FBI. The repairman was afraid nothing was being done.
The friend was consulted again, and this time it was decided to send a copy of the hard drive to the New York Post.
The NY Post relased an article that Hunter’s PC was obtained, and part of some emails on the hard drive were published. The published emails indicated that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s foreign business affairs.
Joe Biden said to reporters that he had never been involved in his son’s business affairs. Joe said he had never even discussed business affairs with his son. Joe Biden said he had no knowledge of any of Hunter’s business deals.
As a result of Joe Biden’s denials, other news media as well as social media companies concluded the story about Hunter’s laptop was nothing but Russian disinformation.
After the presidential election, more was learned about the laptop.
The emails have now been proven to be authentic to a court’s satisfaction. Emails were sent to multiple addresses, and each of those addresses received the message. That is something even a top notch Russian Hacker could not hack.
After the emails could be proved, that left no doubt of the laptops reality.
Now that it is known the laptop exists
DOES THE LAPTOP REVEAL FACTS THAT PROVE A CRIME?
At this time a court has not ruled that a crime was committed, but some of the facts appear to be concerning.
Below are some facts to analyze.
Forming a Chinese Business
In 2013 Hunter flew with his father Joe (the vice president) to China on an official US business flight using the Air Force 2 plane. While in China with the vice president, Hunter made an arrangement with Chinese business representatives. An agreement was made that a business would be formed in China for Hunter and his partners. That company could receive funding from Chinese companies. This company would ostensibly help the Chinese with business in the US. Within 10 days of the Biden trip, the Chinese had a fund created and licensed for the Bidens to use. That is quicker than most companies were able to negotiate a license to do business in China. For some other companies, that process could take years before the Chinese would be convinced that company would be in the best interest of the Chinese government.
Hunter and his partners expected to get some kind of financial gain from that Company. An email on Hunter’s laptop indicated the partners and the division of gains they were to receive are as follows:
RW ... Rob Walker 20
JG ... James Gilliar 20
TB ... Tony Bobulinski 20
JIM ... Jim Biden 10
H ... Hunter Biden 20
BG ... The Big Guy 10
The Big Guys 10% share is to be distributed to him by way of Hunter
There is testimony and other emails identifying the Big Guy is Joe Biden.
This email plus many others can be read on the web site: https://bidenlaptopemails.com/
It is not a crime for a vice president to share profits from a company with his son and his brother.
It is not likely however, that the Joe’s son, brother, and 3 other investors in the company would share profits with Joe, without Joe even knowing what business his son was participating in.
The Loan That Need Not Be Paid
Tony Bobulinski, is an investor who contributed to the Democrat Party, and was naval officer with a high security clearance. Tony agreed to be CEO of Hunter’s investment fund. Tony said that the Chinese did not provide the amount of investment funds the group expected, but did provide for generous financial remuneration for the group. Instead of making a payment to Hunter’s group, a loan of 5 million dollars at zero interest, that did not need to be paid back was given. This type of remuneration concerned Bobulinski. Another concern is that Joe Biden repeatedly said that he had never discussed Hunter’s business activities with his son. Tony said he personally met with Joe and Hunter to discuss business, and was concerned about his reputation for honesty. He left Hunter’s group.
The analysis of this might indicate that Joe Biden fibbed when he told voters that he had never discussed any of his son’s business dealings with him, and he was unaware of what foreign businesses his son might be involved in.
It is a serious crime to fib to a government investigator, but it is not a crime for a politician to fib to voters.
The facts present in this email do not prove a crime according to court standards. The facts might indicate a hint of dishonesty to many people.
There is no statute against accepting a loan, even a loan that does not need to be paid back. It is not proof of a crime, but some feel that such a payment has an inappropriate appearance.
Burisma and Ukraine
Prior to 2014 Ukraine had a reputation for corrupt businesses, and Burisma was a business in Ukraine who was suspected of paying bribes to politicians and bureaucrats in several countries. Burisma was even suspected of bribing World Bank personnel.
In 2018 The US News & World Report published an article involving an investigation that was made over several months. The article reported how kickbacks, bribery and payoffs were involved in projects around the world. The report estimated that more than 20 percent of the loans distributed by the World Bank were associated with corrupt practices.

In the end of 2013 and the begining 2014 there were mass protests by Ukrainians about the massive corruption in the country. Over 80 people were killed, but the protesters were successful forcing the Ukranian government to make progress with fighting corruption. On Feb 21, 2014 the corrupt Ukranian president Viktor Yanukovych was forced to flee the country. Soon thereafter an arrest warrant was issued for Yanukovych’s arrest. The protests by the Ukrainians was referred to as “The Revolution of Dignity”.
British authorities investigated what they suspected was rampant corruption involving Burisma. In April of 2014 British authorities froze $23 million from bank accounts of Burisma’s head “Mykola Zlochevsky”. Zlochevsky hid out of the country, so there was no trial. In 2015 the confiscated money was returned.
In April of 2014 Zlochevsky, who had millions of assets frozen by British, that same month hired Hunter Biden.
Hunter was paid $83,333 per month ($1 million per year). Hunter could not speak the Ukranian language, and had little or no knowledge of the business Burisma was in. Some people speculated Hunter’s value was his political connections, especially with his father the vice president of the United States. In 2017 when Hunter’s father lost the vice president position, within two months Burisma reduced Hunters remuneration to $41,500 per month. Some speculated that this is because Hunter’s political connections were less valuable.

The Ukranian government also proceeded with an investigation of corruption by Burisma. In 2016, the lead prosecutor accumulated enough evidence for Ukranian courts to seize all of Zlochevsky’s assets in the country of Ukraine. Zlochevsky had left and remained out of the country to avoid personal arrest.
In 2015 the Vice President of the United States requested Ukraine should tell the Ukranian prosecutor (Viktor Shokin) who was investigating Burisma to stop the investigation of that company. Ukraine initially refused to do that. Ukraine had Russia militarily invade Crimea. Ukraine was dependent on friendly relations with the United States for financial aid and security from Russia. In late December, the vice president told Ukraine that if they did not fire the head prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, that the United States would cut off Ukraine’s aid.
Ukraine fired the prosecutor. The new Ukranian prosecutor (Yuriy Lutsenko) agreed to stop the investigation of Burisma, and returned the seized assets to Zlochevsky.
Analysis: Is there proof of a crime?
Did Zlochevsky commit a crime?
The owner of Burisma was suspected of paying millions of dollars in bribes to politicians and bureaucrats. This would be a crime in at least some countries if proved. There was no trial resulting in a conviction. Accusations and suspicions without a trial are not proof of a crime.
Did Hunter commit a crime?
Simply receiving millions of dollars of remuneration for a person with no experience in the business, and who can not speak the language is not a crime. The payment might look suspiciously high, but there was no trial to prove that the payment was intended as a political bribe.
Did Joe Biden commit a crime in forcing Ukraine to cease their investigation.
It is unusual for the vice president to order another country to cease an investigation of corruption.
The vice president said he was convinced the allegations and suspicions of corruption on the part of Burisma were totally false. He says he forced Ukraine to terminate their investigation because it was unethical to investigate an innocent company or person. There is no proof that this was done because of Burisma payoffs to Joe’s son Hunter and others.
This may not be proof of a crime, but some believe there is a suspicious inappropriate appearance of forcing another country to drop a criminal investigation.
