Washington-. A supposedly found Hunter Biden laptop with data that could incriminate him over obscure business activities promises to be a headache for United States President Joe Biden, his father, in the near future.
Republicans, optimistic they will return to Congress as a “red tide” in November, say they have Hunter’s laptop in their possession, which Congressman Darrell Issa says contains “hidden treasure.”
Issa, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, told Fox News the day before that his party is preparing to launch an investigation if he wins next November’s election.
In a country where “dirty laundry” is used as a political gain, the old conspiracy to “follow all traces of the great” is being revived, the Republican said, referring to the 46th President.
“We’re going to need a special prosecutor, but right now we’re looking into that,” Issa said, insisting, “We have the laptop, and the laptop is a treasure trove of the obvious.” Although the conspiracy is far from over, the CNN network back then, the computer left in a Delaware repair shop would contain evidence of direct communication between Hunter Biden and his father, who was then the Vice President of the United States.
Despite the fact that Biden denies any connection with this political “soap opera,” there is evidence to the contrary in the alleged data from the electronic device.
According to reports in US media, the laptop would also store alleged evidence of Hunter’s drug use, which put the son of the current White House chief in a vulnerable position to blackmail by foreign intelligence agencies.
After the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, the investigations into the lawyer and lobbyist and second descendant of the president have become more acute.
Biden Jr. served on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, a major Ukrainian natural gas producer, from 2014 to 2019, and his operations in the Eastern European nation were the subject of a journalistic scrutiny, reported by the New York Post.
The Justice Department began investigating business activities and financial transactions, particularly deals with Ukraine and other countries that are heating up, CNN noted.
A month after the November 2020 presidential election, Hunter issued a statement confirming the existence of the probe. At the time, he expressed his confidence that “a competent and objective examination” would show that he had conducted his affairs “lawfully and properly, also with the help of professional tax advisors”.
But federal prosecutor in Wilmington, Delaware, David Weiss, is trying to determine whether Biden’s son and his associates violated laws including money laundering, tax and foreign lobbying, and gun regulations.
At the beginning of his presidency, Biden assured that he would not interfere with the independence of the Justice Department and decided to keep Weiss, appointed by ex-President Donald Trump (2017-2021), in office.
What follows in the script of this soap opera remains to be seen, but it’s clear that it has all the ingredients to stoke the fire in November’s campaigns.
Recently, the conservative Fox News newspaper revealed the existence of a number of documents on the funding of biological laboratories in Ukraine, according to filings dating back to 2007-2008.
While the Russian Defense Ministry revealed that it has Hunter Biden’s correspondence, confirming his important financial connection to the military bio-labs in Ukraine.
Earlier this month, Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik vowed that if her people regain the House of Representatives, they will serve “to counterbalance the failed Biden administration,” which she pointed out begins “with a quote from Hunter Biden.”
