(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) With the New York Times’ long-overdue admission that the explosive Hunter Biden laptop story they had been vigorously ridiculing for more than a year was, in fact, accurate, the torrid details of the laptop’s contents have sparked renewed questions in dire need of answers.
President Joe Biden and his caretakers had none, continuing to maintain that the story is nothing more than a smear campaign. It’s the same gaslighting and misdirection they used when the story first broke and before everyone, even the New York Times, had admitted its legitimacy.

Biden stuck to the same script this week, when he tried to laugh off questions about the laptop before hobbling off stage. When asked if he still thought the story was a smear campaign, Biden shook his head and flashed a smirk.
“Yes, yes, yes, God love you, man, you’re a one-horse pony,” Biden said, deftly conjuring another Bidenism out thin air.
“I promise you, my Justice Department will be totally on its own making its judgements about how they should proceed,” Biden said about the investigation into a laptop that he still won’t even acknowledge is legitimate.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to even consider answering a straight question about the laptop.
“I’ll point you to the Department of Justice and also to Hunter Biden’s representatives,” Psaki snapped. “He doesn’t work in the government.”
Q: “The president previously said that the [Hunter Biden laptop scandal]…was a bunch of garbage and that it was a Russian plant. Does he stand by that assessment?”

The contents of the laptop, which was discovered almost two years ago in a computer repair shop in Delaware, include myriad emails, texts and financial records that tie the Bidens to all sort of nefarious and suspect scheming.
All of which Joe Biden worked desperately to hide from the public during the rare moments he was coaxed out of seclusion during the 2020 campaign.

Kyle Martinsen notes why it was, and remains, critical for Biden to keep the public in the dark and the laptop preferably relegated to the ash heap.
