Ep. 5439 – Peter Van Buren on the Revelations from Hunter Biden’s Laptop – 1/7/2021
https://youtu.be/WVfFIoAB7Dk
Peter Van Buren discusses Hunter Biden’s lost laptop and the shocking documents it contains. He begins by pointing out that many American voters never heard about this story at all: the mainstream media refused to cover it, the tech companies silenced almost anyone who wanted to talk about it and the “intelligence community” quickly united behind the position that the laptop was likely a Russian disinformation tactic. But Van Buren has been able to look at a copy of the hard drive himself. First, he notes that Biden’s hard drive contains lots of unsavory material from his personal life, but concedes that that has little to do with his father’s election as president. More importantly, the laptop has records of many of Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including, most notably, hundreds of millions of dollars from companies in Ukraine and China. In the case of both countries, Hunter was peddling the appearance of access to his father—meetings and photo ops with the Bidens in turn granted these foreign companies political connections within their own countries. But in China’s case in particular, the activity might be even more nefarious. Van Buren found evidence that Chinese companies were paying Hunter Biden’s consulting firm hundreds of millions of dollars in “fees,” which Hunter would then transfer back into Chinese-owned bank accounts in the United States, thus laundering the money across the Pacific without U.S. government scrutiny. The rest of Van Buren’s findings are detailed in his recent piece at The American Conservative.
