This is the second installment of the series called "This Day in Hunter Biden's Laptop." The first installment was in West Coast, Messed Coast™ — Hunter Biden Sex, Drugs, Tax Evasion Edition. We'll take a date out of Hunter's emails or from the Report on the Hunter Biden Laptop by Marco Polo and tell you what he was doing on this day in a not-so-long-ago year.
I'm serious when I say that anyone who has an issue with the lewd and lascivious should not go to the source information. I will not include the disgusting and violative photos of Hunter Biden's antics on this website but I will tell you what's newsworthy about them.
Disgusting and violative photos aren't the only evidence proving the laptop is real, which is the issue we'll take up today. PJ Media readers are by definition a wiser and more conservative bunch, and you want to see the receipts to be reminded of why there's no question the laptop is Hunter's.
In April 2019, Hunter Biden brought a laptop to a Wilmington, Del., computer shop to get it fixed. It had sustained water damage and he wanted access to important information. He signed a receipt, was reminded of the shop policy that if he didn't pick it up in 90 days the shop owned the product, and went on his way. Multiple attempts to contact him to retrieve the computer went unanswered.
The owner of the shop turned the laptop over to law enforcement when he saw evidence of what he thought were serious felonies on the hard drive. He retained copies of the laptop and it's a good thing he did. The FBI took possession of the laptop in December 2019 and hid it from the public. In September 2020, weeks before the election, the FBI conducted a "prebunking" of the laptop's veracity at the Aspen Institute confab bringing together media, government, and others, calling it a hack-and-dump operation by the Russians. Yoel Roth of Twitter 1.0 attended.
Michael Schellenberger, one of the reporters allowed to cull through the Twitter Files, outed the U.S. intelligence operation to convince the media that the Hunter Biden laptop was a pre-election Russian hack-and-dump operation.
Later, 51 intelligence community officials at the behest of the Biden campaign's Tony Blinken, through former Acting CIA chief Mike Morrell, declared that the laptop had all the signs of Russian election tomfoolery.
The FBI had possession of the laptop and knew it was real at this time.
Hunter Biden admitted it was real. First, Hunter agreed in a CBS News interview in April 2021 that the laptop might be his but he doesn't remember if it's his or if he dropped it off at a repair shop, drugs and all that, old chap. Then, Hunter as much as admitted it in a lawsuit against the shop owner and Trump World when he claimed "invasion of privacy" and "publication of private information" by the repair shop owner.

But it was hard to argue against the laptop's provenance. It contained a constellation of private contact information of some of the biggest hitters in politics and Hollywood. There were pictures of Hunter's identification, including a photo of his social security card; copious emails containing information that no one could make up, and then there were the photos. A man who was Vice President Joe Biden's stenographer says there were technical mistakes he made in transcripts that were in the laptop and the Russians would never have known to do that.
But there was much more information to authenticate the laptop.
Marco Polo, the nonprofit organization that culled through the laptop and prepared the Report on the Hunter Biden laptop had two forensic cyber teams go through the laptop. Maryman and Associates noted that if it wasn't Hunter's laptop Apple iOS then why did his devices continue to synch with his laptop?
Maryman and Associates founder Brad Maryman worked at the FBI "for over 29 years. During that time, Mr. Maryman conducted and supervised investigations, served as an Information Systems Administrator, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Security Programs Manager." He and his partner, a University of Southern California associate professor, Dr. Joseph Greenfield, wrote a degree program at the university in cyber forensics.
They concluded that the "operating systems timestamps appear to be authentic" and "no indications were found that would suggest the data [were] manufactured."
But that pesky authenticity problem wouldn't stop the FBI from telling the media an entirely different story.
The Mainstreams think it's mean to look at the Biden family world of high finance. PJ Media believes knowing the truth is necessary for a Constitutional Republic. And that's why I've been green-lighted to bring you a daily dose of Hunter's laptop this year. This rather longish story won't be the norm — sometimes the stories will be short — but I believe it's the framework you can use to understand this man's world — because it's also his dad's.
