And if the laptop is real, as everyone now must admit, then the texts and emails in which Hunter references his dad’s role in securing payments and taking a 10 percent cut are also real. Those claims have already been bolstered by witnesses. > Circumstantial evidence and common sense already tells us that family business couldn’t be pulling in a dime without the participation of the president. Any responsible press would be highly curious about how the Biden family was pulling in millions from Chicoms and Ukrainians, while Joe was bragging about forging policy in that nation — among dozens of other shady issues. > They won’t be. Which is why we shouldn’t forget that the most important part of Hunter’s trial isn’t his bogus martyrdom or addiction, it’s the cover up.
