WaPo’s Matt Viser says Hunter Biden’s laptop doesn’t have ‘much’ implicating his father

On Wednesday, Hunter Biden seemed to confirm that his laptop and all of the information on it was genuine, as his lawyers sent out “blistering” letters urging criminal investigations of those who accessed and disseminated his personal data. His lawyers backtracked quickly, saying Thursday that letters requesting an investigation into the laptop repair store owner, Rudy Guiliani, and others, are NOT an acknowledgment that the laptop is, in fact, Hunter’s.

The Washington Post’s Matt Viser was on MSNBC Thursday with Nicolle Wallace and downplayed the news story, saying there wasn’t “much” on the laptop (that may or may not be Hunter’s) that tied President Joe Biden to any wrongdoing.

Well, as long as there’s not “much” then we probably should just drop it. #journalisming

Laptop shows Joe:

1) Met w/ head of Burisma (later got Ukrainian prosecutor investigating him fired)
2) Met w/ CCP & Chinese billionaires, via Hunter
3) Took 10-50% of Hunter’s foreign dealings
4) May have committed tax evasion, broke Presidential Records Act, FARA … https://t.co/SWiMSAV6RV

Translation: There’s a ton of stuff that ties the president to wrongdoing so the media will be running cover for him.

There “isn’t much to tie the President to wrongdoing”? Hmmmm. Isn’t the standard now to investigate even if there is a hint of wrongdoing?

If he wasn’t the son of a Senator/VP, would anyone select Hunter for lucrative board seats and consulting deals? We all know the answer. Hunter’s only asset was what the Big Guy could do for his clients. The whole scam has all the classic hallmarks of influence peddling.

He really expects people to believe that they have gone to this much trouble to conceal the contents and it’s a nothingburger?

“There’s nothing that I’ve seen…”

– 10% for the big guy
– Hunter works from home where class docs found
– Hunter took money from Ukraine, China, Russia for…. um… consulting??
– whistleblowers saying he was peddling influence

If you ignore all the witnesses and evidence, there’s really not that much.

LOL….”Isn’t much”…Damn, dude, what did you pay for that journalism degree. You should return your diploma.

So far it’s been up to the New York Post to do most of the heavy lifting in investigating the contents of the hard drive. Remember that it took until March 2022 for the Washington Post to confirm the emails on the laptop were authenticand the crack reporter breaking that news? Matt Viser.

NEW: Thousands of emails purportedly from the laptop computer of Hunter Biden are authentic communications that can be verified through cryptographic signatures from technology companies.
