Habitual liar Hunter Biden used Tucker Carlson’s – Latest News
For Hunter and Joe Biden, mendacity turns into so ordinary they finally lose grip on actuality. Joe had energy so people have been inclined to consider his fabrications. Hunter is a former crack addict, deadbeat dad and pardoned felon so the one people he can get to swallow his lies are podcasters hungry for views.
Hence his newfound fame, this week courtesy of Tucker Carlson.
The degenerate former first son shapeshifts to go well with the proclivities of every interviewer, so he performed to Carlson’s newfound paranoia about Israel, insinuating “Netanyahu” or “Mossad” have been concerned in hacking/stealing/fabricating his laptop computer/cloud, despite the fact that he beforehand blamed Russia.
My colleague Steven Nelson has already listed some of the flagrant lies within the interview. Garrett Ziegler of nonprofit Marco Polo is set to release a video itemizing 100 lies.
It’s a tiresome however obligatory process to make sure Hunter doesn’t rewrite historical past as delusion with the help of his new media buddies.
Hunter’s central lie is that he by no means took three waterlogged laptops for restore at John Paul Mac Isaac’s pc restore store in Wilmington, Del.
“I have literally zero recollection or memory of ever dropping off a laptop at John Paul Mac Isaac’s,” Hunter informed Carlson.
Overwhelming proof
Then he launched into a meandering mélange of half-expressed falsehoods, throwing up Ukrainian, Russian and Chinese names, and, for Carlson’s benefit, the title of an Israeli-American “[Yaacov] Apelbaum.” More on him later.
“There is no such factor as a laptop computer. The laptop computer that [Mac Isaac] finally turns over . . . to the FBI, the factor that [he] claims that he bought off of a system was a onerous drive . . . What he finds by this man Apelbaum is Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Bob Costello . . .
“There’s no possible way all of the information that was eventually labeled as my laptop came from one laptop. It’s way too large . . . They hacked my cloud . . . There’s the Netanyahu side, the Israeli side. There is a Russian Ukrainian side of it. And then there are the US actors that include Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Miles Guo and a whole bunch of — Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman and all of these guys.”
Carlson’s response to this incomprehensible nonsense is: “I agree.”
By mendacity concerning the provenance of the laptop computer, Hunter hopes to solid doubt on the proof of corruption it accommodates.
But the chain of custody is rock stable and documented.
Hunter’s signature is on the restore receipt (“Quote #7469”) for $85 from Mac Isaac’s store, for “Attempt data recovery from 3 macbook pros.”
The FBI seized the laptop computer on Dec. 9, 2019, after Mac Issac contacted them. Two brokers arrived at his store with a subpoena signed by Delaware Assistant US legal professional Lesley Wolf, whose boss David Weiss was operating a money-laundering and tax fraud investigation of Hunter that had been launched by the IRS. The brokers gave Mac Isaac a receipt for the laptop computer and a onerous drive.
The FBI geo-located Hunter’s cellphone to trace him to the Sikar Cigar Lounge in Wilmington, simply across the nook from Mac Isaac’s store on April 12, 2019, proper earlier than he dropped off the laptops at 6:50 p.m., in keeping with DOJ filings and forensic proof launched by prosecutors in Hunter’s 2024 federal gun trial in Delaware. Prosecutors used financial transaction historical past and site logs to corroborate Mac Isaac’s timeline. Mac Isaac is legally blind, however he can see up close. He acknowledged Hunter when he informed him his title and smelled booze and cigar smoke on him.

Tucker’s flip-flop
The FBI’s Computer Analysis and Response Team verified the authenticity and possession of the laptop computer, assessed that “it was not manipulated in any way,” and deemed it match to be used as proof in courtroom, in keeping with IRS Agent Gary Shapley’s 2023 testimony earlier than the House Ways and Means Committee. Federal courtroom filings at Hunter’s Delaware trial validated Shapley’s testimony.
The silver MacE-book Pro 13 was exhibited to the jury within the Wilmington courtroom on June 4, 2024 by prosecutor Derek Hines earlier than he confirmed it to his first witness, FBI Agent Erika Jensen, who confirmed it was Hunter’s laptop computer from the serial quantity on the back. I used to be in courtroom that day. Hunter and his attorneys have been there, too, and didn’t object to the use of his laptop computer. The jury within the Bidens’ hometown took three hours to seek out Hunter guilty on all three felony costs,
Pretrial courtroom filings for Hunter’s September 2024 tax fraud felony trial in California show prosecutors meant to make use of the laptop computer as proof however Hunter pleaded guilty to all 9 costs on the primary day of the trial earlier than the jury was chosen. Three months later his father gave him a retrospective presidential pardon protecting all offenses dedicated from Jan 1, 2014, the beginning of the Ukraine grift.

It’s inexplicable that Carlson went together with Hunter’s deceptions. When he was at Fox News, he was among the many most cogent and well-informed prosecutors of the case after this newspaper broke the story on Oct. 14, 2020, three weeks earlier than the election.
He invited me on his Fox show for seven of the subsequent eight days to current proof from the laptop computer that confirmed Joe Biden had participated in his household’s influence- peddling scheme during his vice presidency. Hunter, Joe’s brother Jim, and companions made tens of hundreds of thousands of {dollars} monetizing Joe’s energy in corrupt nations the place he was pointman for the Obama administration.
Back then, Carlson railed in opposition to the Dirty 51 coverup, Big Tech censorship and the media blackout on the story.
Corruption whitewashed
But now he has joined the Bidens in casting doubt on the provenance of the laptop computer.
“The official story comes out about how . . . you left a couple of laptops in a laptop repair store,” he informed Hunter.
“But the story did not make sense. Meanwhile, we get approached by Israelis connected to Benjamin Netanyahu who are shopping this stuff to me at Fox News . . . The laptop is real . . . But the way that it entered the bloodstream of the American media was not real.”
Neither Hunter nor Carlson explains how “Netanyahu” was concerned, however the chain of custody reveals no Israeli enter. Hunter was at all times dropping his gadgets.
The one Israeli title Hunter tossed out was Apelbaum, an Israeli-American “computer guy” who met with Mac Isaac on October 18, 2020, 4 days after The Post broke the story, when he was besieged by media and scared for his life.
Mac Isaac informed me that a buddy of his father’s, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, launched Apelbaum as his “computer guy” who might help affirm that the laptop computer was reputable.
After assembly Mac Isaac, Apelbaum contacted Carlson in late October to provide him a file from the laptop computer. Apelbaum didn’t reply to my questions, so I don’t know why he needed to contact Carlson who was already airing the story each night time. Apelbaum just lately received a defamation lawsuit in opposition to somebody who known as him an Israeli spy.
The pity is that by putting doubt on the origins of the laptop computer, the Biden corruption that Mac Isaac risked a lot to show is whitewashed.
Carlson as soon as cared about that.
