The question is when, not if,
Hunter Biden’s laptop will bring
down Joe Biden’s presidency

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 7/8/2021 6:36:15 AM

Thanks to a series of leaks from the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop computer, we know there is more than enough evidence to appoint a special counsel, or at least convene a grand jury to investigate bribery, tax fraud, and probably several other categories of crime involving the Biden Crime Family. (snip) A mildly curious US Attorney ought to be able to get a grand jury to subpoena the financial records of the Biden clan on this basis. (snip) We understand why none of this is happening – yet. Biden is serving his purpose (snip) But the drip, drip, drip continues and accumulates.

They have to get rid of Kamala first. She would lose on 2024

I find it interesting that the Xiden crime clan is not using the Clinton SOP - deny, deny, deny, delay, delay, delay. Neither Dopey Joe nor anyone else in his family had denied a single thing that has been published concerning what is on Humper’s laptop.

This is easily predictable. Horizontal Harris will suddenly develop 'ineligibility'. Easy to prove in any court including SCOTUS so ordered by 0bama. Standing or fear of riots will not be an issue. The Beast or the Mooch will be installed. Then all hell will break loose.

Stop it, just stop it. I have had it with all the promises of this and that. Nothing has happened. NOTHING. It is all a ruse to keep us sending in money to the lawyers and the politicians in the hope we get our Country back. America, as we knew it, is gone. All the hope and promises will not bring it back. Only one thing will bring it back and we are not willing to go there. Voting for the lesser of two evils took awhile, but now it has blown up in our faces. Mark my words, the worse is yet to come. If you want real hope, turn to God. Nothing else you do will work. Have a blessed day.

Pardon my total cynicism but.........the Press will never report on this. or push for any kind of real investigation, the Democrats certainly won't, and the Republicans stay pretty well mum..........and we all know about social media. And meanwhile, we have the hapless Bill Barr, a man I initially thought was brave and honest, calling any problems with the Presidential election bull---- and Durham, HIS appointee, disappearing into the sunset on ANY kind of probe, something that was beyond predictable once Trump. "lost" the election. Talk about anger in the country....all of this is a REAL reason...we have lost faith in Govt in general ,certainly the FBI, the CIA, the FISA Court, the IRS...and as to the Presidency, it is Weekend at Bernies.

Joe is bringing down Joe's presidency. The FBI has had that laptop for a much longer time than Joe has claimed to be president but they have an ulterior motive, which is to serve the Deep State, not the American people. Otherwise Joe and Hunter would be residents of Guantanamo Bay. (Psssst, NSA, here's a juicy tidbit to pass on.)

FTA: "All of this is uncomfortably banana republic territory: powerful, unseen forces pulling strings and deciding the fate of the nation’s leadership by manipulating corrupt media and officialdom." The Biden election and how it was orchestrated as well as his presidency itself feels like something out of a television drama involving corrupt cops or pols or both. My gut tells me something bigger is pulling the strings and I don't mean God. I don't want to think that way. But it is hard not to do so.

My main takeaway from this article is that any and all deep-state government, congressional, and major media entities have control over the President and his administration by means of blackmail. Although Biden’s corruption has been exposed to us, it is not really exposed until the major media, Justice Department, or Congress says it is. They will tell Joe when it is time to leave. As the author says, “That’s where we ae today.”

The FBI is the praetorian guard of the Democrat Party (when they're not returning captive Princesses to their despotic fathers). They will never take any serious investigative action against a sitting Democrat. They will stage a show investigation and conclude that the law doesn't apply to Democrats. So, no, I don't believe anything will happen.

The Monty Python boys, dressed in red frocks, once irreverently boasted, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! ... Amongst our chief weapons are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope!" If you switch "pope" to "woke" and the "Spanish Inquisition" to "Authoritarian Imposition," I think that old comedy sketch nails our present situation in America pretty well. Consider how our D.C. despots, with their stern expressions of disapproval and general sense of entitlement, have responded to 75 million Trump voters who insist on auditing the 2020 election.

When Tucker Carlson first said that the National Security Agency (“NSA”) was spying on him, various leftist media outlets had a good laugh. However, that laughter became a bit forced when the NSA issued a letter that merely denied “targeting” Tucker. The obvious implication was that the NSA had gotten to him as an incidental person while targeting someone else. The NSA also didn’t bother to explain how it was that it unmasked Tucker. There’s no laughter now, though. It’s clear that the NSA did spy on Tucker, that it illegally unmasked him, and that it even more illegally leaked to one or more media outlets the information it gathered.

When Catherine the Great of Russia traveled in the late 18th-century, her former lover, Grigory Potemkin, would travel ahead of her and build hasty facades along the main thoroughfares in impoverished, bedraggled villages to create the impression of a prosperous nation. Thus, a Potemkin village is a fake that artificially puffs up a leader’s competence and popularity. Two recent videos, one of Biden’s fans turning out to greet him in Michigan and another of Trump’s fans turning out for him in Florida, show that Biden is a Potemkin president. It’s all fake.

Haitian government officials said they’ve asked the United States to deploy troops in an auxiliary effort to help shield Haiti’s infrastructure from attack amid the political turbulence the country is experiencing after President Jovenel Moïse’s sudden assassination Wednesday. They requested U.S. forces to help protect Haiti’s port, airport, gasoline reserves, and other facilities. There are concerns that the leader’s murder could exacerbate the already fraught situation in the country, which is afflicted by civil unrest, economic instability, gang violence, and a COVID public health crisis, among other woes.

The administration of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania has ordered counties not to comply with a Republican state senator’s request for voting data to be used in an audit of the 2020 election. The Pennsylvania Department of State said in a two-page directive that the request by state Sen. Doug Mastriano of Franklin County, an ally of former President Donald Trump, “jeopardizes the security and integrity” of the counties’ voting systems. " Such access by third parties undermines chain of custody requirements and strict access limitations necessary to prevent both intentional and inadvertent tampering with electronic voting systems,” the department said.
