The media blackout on Hunter Biden’s laptop remains in force this week despite a major new development with the release of a videotape that purportedly shows Biden claiming that one of his laptops was stolen by Russians for blackmail purposes. He allegedly recorded the statement after filming having sex with an alleged prostitute in a Las Vegas hotel. This is major news from any standpoint. Either the President’s son admitted that Russians have blackmail material on him or the media (or others) have created a fake videotape and falsely framed Biden. One would expect, if it is the latter, that the Biden team will be announcing a lawsuit today. However, like the coverage in most major news outlets, there are only the familiar sound of crickets.
On the videotape, Biden is reportedly shown having sex with a woman identified as a prostitute in the coverage. In the midst of this sordid scene, Biden describes how he went on a Vegas bender with Russians — “going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite.” He stresses that the penthouses cost $10,000 a night.
The videotape has Biden describing how he passed out in a hot tub “hangs over the edge of the f***ing top floor, with glass, it’s ridiculous.” He then says
“I wake up and the only people that are there are Miguel, the guy frantically running round gathering things up, ok – and Miguel, and Pierce, this guy, his friend.
They had kicked everybody out. And they had cleaned up the entire place, everything ok? And they were getting ready to leave, and I woke up. And there was this Russian 35-year-old, really nice, pure brunette.
She refused to leave and they wouldn’t call an ambulance. And they didn’t know whether I was dead or not, at first.”
He then states that the Russian took the laptop filled with compromising photos and material:
“I think he’s the one that stole my computer. I think the three of them, the three guys that were like a little group. The dealer and his two guys, I took them everywhere. F***ing everywhere, crazy out of your mind sh**…
They have videos of me doing this,’ he said, referring to the filmed sex he just finished. ‘They have videos of me doing crazy f***ing sex f***ing, you know…
They have videos of me doing this. . .They have videos of me doing crazy f***ing sex f***ing, you know.
My computer, I had taken tons of like, just left like that cam on. And he would always put in a passcode and all that, you know what I mean? It was f***ing crazy sh**. And somebody stole it during that period of time. He did all this kind of like pretend search and sh**.”
When the woman asks if Hunter Biden was worried the Russian alleged thieves would try to “blackmail” him, Hunter replies “Yeah in some way yeah.”
As usual, most Americans have not seen the story which is running largely on foreign media. This is likely to result in yet another run of President Biden to the nearest ice cream store.
Before the election, the national media and social media companies imposed a virtual blackout on the Hunter Biden story. Even when Biden’s laptop emerged with highly embarrassing and incriminating emails, Democratic politicians and the media pushed a conspiracy theory that the emails might be Russian misinformation, even though the recipients of the emails confirmed their authenticity and American intelligence dismissed the theory. Worse yet, a key business associate of the Bidens, Anthony Bobulinski, confirmed the authenticity of the emails and accused Joe Biden of lying about his involvement. Bobulinski detailed meeting with Joe Biden in a hotel to go over the dealings.
Social media companies like Twitter responded by barring the original New York Post story before the election. The media (which exhaustively investigated any story involving the Trump children) simply ignored the growing evidence that Joe Biden lied repeatedly for months in claiming to have had no knowledge of his son’s business dealings. The media refused to investigate the story even after Hunter himself contradicted his father’s repeated denial.
Soon after Biden was safely elected, the media began to reluctantly acknowledge that the laptop might be authentic while avoiding the obvious questions about millions acquired from influence peddling or Joe Biden’s apparent lying to these reporters.
The laptop revealed that, while receiving millions from the Chinese and other foreign sources, Hunter was an utter mess. He admits that during this period he was a crack addict and alcoholic: “[d]rinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating” as well as “smoking crack around the clock.”
The new emails contain additional information directly contradicting Joe Biden. In addition to earlier pictures from golf trips and references to his involvement or knowledge, the new material refers to an actual dinner arranged in Washington, D.C.
It would be easy to dismiss these stories as the record of a hopeless addict. However, Biden was receiving massive payments from dubious foreign figures from China to the Ukraine to Russia during these years. The claim was that they needed his guidance on issues like energy development and financial dealings. Yet, Hunter Biden says that he was a wreck dealing with drug and alcohol abuse. Biden admits that he was still a crack addict running into his father’s last presidential campaign and the photos from China show him passed out and doing drugs as well as sexual trysts with various women, including possible prostitutes. In this book, Hunter admitted that he was still a crack addict and alcoholic: “[d]rinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating” as well as “smoking crack around the clock.” Why would these sources be forking over millions to a self-admitted hopeless addict other than buying access and influence with his father?
The irony is considerable in this latest disclosure since Hunter Biden is referring to losing a series of laptops on the laptop that he would later abandon at a computer repair shop.
Now you have the son of the president saying that he believes the Russians have blackmail material on him but the media continues to struggle to avoid the story. Imagine if a laptop contained videos of Donald Trump Jr. having sex with an alleged prostitute while talking about how Russians likely have blackmail material on him. The media would reach critical mass with wall-to-wall coverage. Yet, most major media outfits continue to minimize or ignore such stories.
If this videotape is real, it is a breathtaking admission that directly impacts the President of the United States in relations with a major hostile power. If it is fake, it is proof of a concerted conspiracy to frame Hunter Biden and spread misinformation. It is a major story either way, right? Not in the age of advocacy journalism.
Here is the transcript published on foreign news sites.
I have been excoriated by my fellow conservatives for saying this but I feel tremendous pity for Hunter Biden. This guy is so messed up it’s not even funny and what people always forget is that messed up kids come from somewhere. Hunter and Beau were both in the car accident in which their mother was killed when they were just kids. Then, rumors abound as to what they were subjected to but you only have to look at Hunter to see that this is a profoundly wounded individual and yes, he should still be held accountable. But the tone of his voice (which if you close your eyes and listen is almost identical to JB so yes I would say the video is authentic) is so pathetic as he tries to make some kind of emotional connection with a hooker, I couldn’t finish watching the video for pity. Rudy Giuliani also said he felt bad for Hunter whose father has always used him as a “bag man” according to RG. Personally I think this particular rotten apple didn’t fall far from the even more rotten tree and if and when any sort of justice is attempted it had better not be the kind where Hunter is crucified and the rest of the family skates because that would be the final abuse.
nothing new here…but what about Jared Kushner and big loan?
“This guy is so messed up it’s not even funny and what people always forget is that messed up kids come from somewhere. “
One needs to look at the family, the Biden Crime Family. It all comes from the top. That is Joe Biden who so happens to be President of the United states. Likely he did a lot of things to destroy the fabric of his family much like he is destroying the fabric of the US.
Afghanistan is rapidly disintegrating with dismal news for the last 10 days and worse news today.
The Middle East looked like peace could prevail until Joe biden caused the war where Hamas attacked Israel.
Things don’t look good on the Iranian front. They spit on Joe Biden and using violence in the sea.
We were oil independent, but now Biden is begging in the Middle East.
The Russians will be pumping to Germany while our activities are stopped
Russia and China are moving closer militarily and pushing their weight in respective areas.
The border is wide open, Covid spread by illegals, gangs, murderers and rapists permitted to enter.
Trump’s economy continues but can’t keep up with Democrat theft and spending.
There is so much more but I am tiring of speaking to the blind, deaf and dumb. Biden and the Democrats have changed the nation from a free nation to a fascist one run by an oligarchy.
Good for you. You focused on what’s important: Biden’s destructive *policies*.
“Russia and China are moving closer militarily and pushing their weight in respective areas.”
Did you notice China’s recent announcement of a “complete reunification” with Taiwan?
Weren’t there a number of other such “reunifications” throughout the 20th century?
“Did you notice China’s recent announcement of a “complete reunification” with Taiwan?”
Yes. Biden is President so now it is time for the Chinese to act. I don’t think it will happen during the first half of this administration. General Milley is all prepared to defend Taiwan. He will quote from Kendi’s book.
Right now he is with Biden looking in Kendi’s book to figure out why things fell apart in Afghanistan so fast.
I wonder, has General Milley ever won a war?
No, all we have had in the last 24 years are loser Republican Wars of Political “Greatness”. Look up “greatness” and George Dubya Bush together and find out why we invaded Iraq.
Wars and the creation of wars occur over time.The same occurs with peace. Obama and Biden have dismal records regarding peace and dealing with our biggest enemies. GWB screwed up in Iraq, but I never liked him.
Presently we have a loser in office that is costing America its future.
“[H]as General Milley ever won a war?”
Apparently, you didn’t get the memo: That’s no longer a job requirement.
And, so it seems, neither is threat assessment:
“Milley insisted that Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country, and the U.S. would continue to support them. ‘The future of Afghanistan is squarely in the hands of the Afghan people,’ he said, ‘And I’ve said this before, a negative outcome — a Taliban automatic military takeover — is not a foregone conclusion.'”
Spoken a mere three weeks ago, as the Taliban were overrunning the country.
Maybe That Republican War for the “greatness” of Dubya was a bad idea.
Were you aware of the Office of Special Plans and “Curveball”?
Look them up.
Can America survive this insanity the Democrats and their minions are sowing on our GREAT nation? Do we have enough time for corrections that will be required once they are cast to history’s dump of morons? We have a President that is wildly making proclamations detrimental to America, a Congress full of self loathing, spendthrift and sanctimonious individuals (Democrat and Republican Alike). Then there are School Boards, Teachers Unions, Universities, and a host of other institutions, bureaucracies and businesses dividing the citizenry into racial groups. Federal Money managers printing money with abandon. Internet Platform thinking they can control speech and judge fact from fiction. Consider news organizations that have tipped so far there about to topple over. Governments at all levels full of Tyrants dictating citizen’s everyday life routines yet disregarding their own arbitrary edicts. All this portends a bleak future for the United States, with the tides washing ashore one Dictator after the other. It’s time to speak up and stop pretending that the Democrats have the best interest for the average citizen in mind.
When it comes to Russian blackmail, it appears the never-materialized ‘Trump tape’ is actually the Hunter tape. Joe and Hunter Biden are purchased and owned by Russia, China, and Ukraine. Those countries could release ruinous data or blackmail the Bidens. This is very dangerous for America.
DOJ is now whitewashing the John Durham Report to eliminate the Obama, Biden, attempted Coup attempts against Donald Trump. As the Democrat Socialists have failed in all attempts with Russia collusion, Impeachment Removal, and on down until now, no charges on Tax Fraud or Financial statement Fraud crime charges: DT will be running in 2024. But the Biden et al Socialists damage to America will be so extensive, that it will be beyond the point of no return. Selah
I think this proves that hunter was not lying when he said his laptop could have been stolen by the Russians. Which particular laptop was never specified. Poor hunter everyone always calling him liar.
“Don’t forget 10% for the Big Guy”
If the leftist have their way, you cant forget if you are never informed
The end game of leftists is Ignorance. With only one source of information, the Government.
And the leftist that comment on this site, actively support the end game.
(OT — though Biden related)
First, Biden hobbles America’s energy producers — with the predictable results: Supply dwindles and prices skyrocket.
Now he begs OPEC to increase their production of oil.
And thus his administration’s slogan: “Make America weak again.”
Yes, we were energy independent under Trump with gas under $2 a gallon and now Biden is begging OPEC for oil.
Also Biden related….
Nearly 80 percent of Americans blame Biden for inflation surge: poll results —->

The President recommended that Cuomo resign, I wonder what Cuomo recommend the President and the press do regarding this topic?
And here I thought Jonathan Turley truly believed in freedom of speech. He has censored several of my comments in in the past and he has censored two of mine so far because he doesn’t like the word / and or words I use for the Chinese. So, once again I run into somebody that is a hypocrite.
I’m finding out more and more that I belong to an extremely small fraternity of men that are true believers in real, and I mean real freedom of speech. I believe in using any word you like including any word to describe me because I wouldn’t care, and I do not care what anyone online thinks of me. Feels about me. They are an online entity. Lol.
Why would I? you’re just a stranger to me online and you have no power over me whatsoever. And I’ve had people use all kind of language to describe me or call me names and I laugh at them lol. I’ve seen people get so upset, so been out of shape over what a complete stranger thinks, of them. Why, I ask. Why do you allow somebody to take so much control of your emotions. Somebody that is online and, and doesn’t know you one bit.
Garland,
This blog has its rules. I agree that Turley is hypocritical. In his criticism of Facebook and YouTube for removing objectionable content, to my knowledge, he overlooks the fact that the uploaded material violated its terms of service which previously had been agreed upon by the uploader.
Turley is an expert on Constitutional law. I guess he does not specialize in Contract law.
Turley: “However, like the coverage in most major news outlets, there are only the familiar sound of crickets. ”
***
We have no ‘major’ news outlets.
Although, we do have major “news” outlets
Given Hunter’s previous behavior and videos, this one is believable.
Why does the mainstream media continue to carry water for the Biden family? Who is protecting them?
Does the media think Americans are incapable of seeing, and understanding, the difference between its treatment of Biden and Trump? Do they not understand why their viewership is rapidly falling? Or why 80% of Americans now say they do not trust mainstream media?
Obviously, the mainstream media does not care and is willing to sacrifice their credibility for Joe and Hunter Biden.
Spanky,
I’d like you to post a link or citation to that 80% of Americans poll, if you can.
I saw a news item about a 2020 poll with the headline:
“Gallup poll finds 84% of Americans say media to blame for US political divide.”
“Media” was to blame which does not exclude Fox, Newsmax, OAN and Infowars. The poll did not single out the MSM.
It also found:
“Those polled, however, have a greater concern about the bias of other media outlets, with 69 percent of respondents saying they worry about news sources that aren’t their own. By contrast, just 29 percent worry about the bias at their top choice for news.”
Gallup Poll: Only 16% Of American’s Trust Mainstream Media’s TV News
https://fyi.com/news/national/gallup-poll-only-16-of-americans-trust-mainstream-medias-tv-news/
Spanky,
Are you trying to pull a fast one?
“Gallup Poll: Only 16% Of American’s Trust Mainstream Media’s TV News”
The headline was doctored by FYI Networks by adding “Mainstream.”
Here is the headline of the same poll from Fox News:
“New Gallup poll shows consistent distrust in media, but bump in confidence for police”
No *Mainstream* qualifier. Typical fringe Right disinformation.
Nice try, Spanky!
Perhaps you’d like to hear it from the horse’s mouth…
Americans’ Confidence in Major U.S. Institutions Dips
https://news.gallup.com/poll/352316/americans-confidence-major-institutions-dips.aspx
FWIW, it’s not the headline that counts — not that CNN, MSNBC or Fox would ever use a sensational or misleading headline, I’m sure.
% Who have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence [in]
2019 2020 2021
Newspapers 23% 24% 21%
Television News 18% 18% 16%
Hopefully my formatting will work. If not, just click the link and read the table for yourself.
Sorry about your lame attempt at a gotcha… Seems it was public confidence in mainstream news — newspapers and television — the Gallup poll was gauging.
Spanky,
The poll did not differentiate between the MSM and Fox. The “television news” included Fox, but the headline from the fringe network you read deliberately gave the false impression that Americans distrust the MSM as opposed to Fox, et.al.
Enjoy torturing logic, jeff?
All the poll does is track public confidence in television news and newspapers. Television news includes CNN, MSNBC, ABC and Fox — mainstream television news. That you do not consider Fox to be mainstream isn’t relevant. If you’re in doubt about this, why not ask Gallup?
As you’ve noticed, I like quotes…
I don’t distrust the 3-letter agencies because I believe in the rule of law, our impartial and independent courts, civilly disobedient whistleblowers and the 4th estate to keep them in check. — jeffsilberman
No fool like an old fool, eh jeff?
About 80% of Americans apparently disagree with you, as far as trust in the 4th estate is concerned, as well as the criminal justice system (and 64% lack confidence in the USSC). Moreover, it seems that patriotic whistleblowers are being prosecuted by the U.S. government under the Espionage Act — Daniel Hale was just sentenced for blowing the whistle on the drone program killing many civilians, including children, to Jeremy Scahill at The Intercept. Perhaps you caught the extensive coverage in the mainstream media?
Too bad Gallup doesn’t gauge public confidence in 3-letter agencies.
By the way, your double negative “I don’t distrust…” should be written as “I trust the 3-letter agencies…”, for clarity’s sake. It’s just my opinion, of course, but I bet you’re one of the few Americans who does…
Spanky,
We are beating a dead horse. You are making my point that “Television News” does NOT exclude Fox!
BUT Fox does NOT consider itself a part of the MSM! Hello? Do you ever watch Fox News?? Fox coined the term “mainstream media” in order to distinguish itself from all the other TV networks. Where have you been? In Rightwing circles, MSM does not include Fox. Hence, the deliberately misleading headline from that alt-Right website.
I couldn’t care less what the masses think as far as what I think, for the masses are the asses. Do I think I am among the elite? I sure hope so; otherwise, 7 years of higher education was for naught (you can spare me the put-downs). I am not a better than anyone here, just more educated than many and less so perhaps than some.
As far as I can tell, all television news is mainstream… But, truth be told, I don’t own a television and haven’t watched for many, many years.
All I did was take the first search engine hit when you asked for a citation. Your focus on the FYI headline and whether, or not, Fox is a mainstream news source is merely disingenuous and argumentative — it served no purpose other than to muddy the water. But that seems your stock-in-trade, judging from your other posts — taking minor points of no real consequence and attempting to create mountains out of molehills while ignoring important facts and dismissing logical connections and conclusions.
If that is the best seven years of higher education has served you, you deserve a refund.
As far as caring about what “the masses” think, that is entirely up to you. But if you only think or hope you are a member of the elite, rest assured — you are not.
How can one tell? The elite are not ideological, nor can they afford to be — they are opportunists and control both sides of the political fence.
The late historian Carroll Quigley, Ph.D., concluded that the wealthy, including individuals, corporations and other institutions representing great wealth are “really above parties” and “much more concerned with policies than with party victories.” Moreover, the wealthy “have been the dominate element in both parties since 1900 and practiced the political techniques of William C. Whitney and J.P. Morgan.” These political techniques include making generous donations to both parties and rival candidates so that no matter who wins, the desired policy gets primary consideration and implementation.
…the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in details of procedure, priority, or method… — Carroll Quigley, c. 1967
Peddle your partisan bullsh*t elsewhere. It tells me that you are either a useful idiot (and there are many, plenty, of those) or a propagandist — the former is a believer, as ardent as any religious fundamentalist, and the later a deceiver, with no principles nor conscience.
Spanky,
You don’t own a TV? Ever hear of a computer, the internet and streaming? And to think all this time I was talking to a hillbilly living off the grid.
What a waste of my time.
Hunter Biden Vs Andrew Cuomo….Who is more evil?
Salvatore “Sammy The Bull” Gravano gets into a political analysis in this video. It bothers me that he’s Italian.
Why the surprise. Time and time again, the media and the deep state show that they are in the bag for Biden and were out to get Trump. Trump has plenty of flaws, but they all got magnified. Biden has plenty too, but we never hear about them. The WP says democracy dies in darkness. I guess it is dying.
Papper,
Trump has plenty of flaws, you say? What are you, a Never Trumper?
How many ;Laptops has Hunter lost?
Hunter. Deer hunter?
Thank you for being willing to use your platform and speak about things people of power want silenced. Your courage is noted and should go down in the history books of hero’s.
Or maybe Obama and the others who are really calling the shots have decided it is time for the demented and frail Biden to go, and Harris, who was always their choice back to 2019, to ascend to the Presidency.
And the dopes around here we worried about model citizens by comparison, Ivanka and Donald, Jr. Facts have their own justice — and irony.
I sometimes feel like Sir Edward Gibbon but instead of writing the book, I’m living it. According to Gibbon, Roman era’s declension was a “place where “bizarreness masqueraded as creativity.” No one could have said it better about today.
Mespo– There are also disturbing similarities to the progression into madness in the French Revolution. You (we) may be living that one too.
“I’m living it.”
Tragically, true.
The Bidens are reenacting Caligula. Father is Caligula’s horse; son, the debauchery.
Father is more Dapple than Incitatus!
I believe anyone who knows anything about drug addiction and a river of money feels for Hunter but addicts cannot be trusted to be the family bagman on the other hand maybe drug addiction is plausible deniability
Anony:
“I believe anyone who knows anything about drug addiction and a river of money feels for Hunter ….”
*************************************
I do and i don’t. I try to reserve my limited pity for addicts who aren’t born to wealth and privilege.
I couldn’t agree more with your entire comment my friend!!!
“Drug addicts are far far worse than your garden-variety alcoholic when it comes to trust. And alcoholics, in and of themselves, are just barely one step above Addicts pertaining to trust.”
I think at this point for the health and security of the nation in general it would be better if he just got it over with and OD’d.
Joe needs to eat a banana split on this one. And social media need to ban any mention of Hunter Biden.
Don’t worry, they will. It will be memory holed just like the lap top he left at the shop in Delaware that got banned from being spoken of on Facebook and Twitter (not to mention any of the propaganda news networks and alphabet channels.)
