We all need to remember that had the Hunter Biden laptop story not been suppressed, millions of voters would have known about the alleged Biden family’s influence peddling found on that laptop. Trump would have been elected instead of Biden in the 2020 Presidential election. Biden would not be the President today; and Trump would be “Making America Great.”
Instead Biden and his policies are trying to destroy America piece by piece.
The good news is that the 2024 Presidential election is approaching very fast, and we voters have another chance to make our voices heard.
A newly energized public has pledged not to allow election rigging to occur this time around, and multi-millions of eyes are going to be watching every move that is made in voting locations.
If an overwhelming number of people vote for Donald Trump, we can overcome the graft and corruption of the Democrats.]

1.18.24 Epoch Times article:
Federal prosecutors have confirmed in a new court filing the authenticity of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop and that when investigators took possession of the device and searched it, they found its contents largely overlapped with records obtained from President Joe Biden’s son’s Apple iCloud account.
…But beyond the substance of the filing…the document also reveals new details surrounding the infamous Hunter Biden laptop that was at the heart of a censorship-by-proxy scandal ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP
Prior reporting indicates that computer shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, said that Hunter Biden dropped off three laptops at his Delaware-based shop in April 2019 and requested that data be recovered from them.
Mr. Isaac has said that Hunter Biden never returned to pick up the only laptop that was salvageable, while claiming he turned the device over to the FBI in December 2019.
In response to the warrant, Apple produced backups of data from Hunter Biden’s various electronic devices that he had backed up on the iCloud account.
“Investigators also later came into possession of the defendant’s Apple MacBook Pro, which he had left at a computer store,” the document reads…
“A search warrant was also obtained for his laptop and the results of the search were largely duplicative of information investigators had already obtained from Apple,” the court document reads.
This is significant because neither Hunter Biden nor his lawyers have ever acknowledged that the laptop was his…
…Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, did not respond to a request for comment on the court filing, which appears to confirm the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop and of which he has avoided acknowledging that it belonged to him.
…A twist in the saga of the infamous laptop came when Mr. Mac Isaac said he kept a copy of the device’s hard drive “in case he was ever thrown under the bus,” and later passed its contents to Mr. Giuliani, who gave it to the New York Post.
NEW YORK POST’S LAPTOP STORY SUPPRESSED
Several weeks before the 2020 election, the New York Post published a story on the contents of the laptop, alleging Biden family influence peddling.
The article was suppressed by companies like Twitter (now X), which claimed the story was based on hacked materials.
The New York Post’s story titled “Smoking-gun Email Reveals How Hunter Biden Introduced Ukrainian Businessman to VP Dad” was published on Oct. 14, 2020.
…Other efforts emerged to discredit the story, including a letter penned by former intelligence community members saying that the story bore the typical hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign possibly meant to sway the election.
Around that time, FBI officials repeatedly warned social media companies that Russia would be generating propaganda around the election.
Republicans have alleged that Twitter’s decision to block the spread of the article amounted to election meddling, with some polls indicating that if people had been aware of the laptop’s contents they wouldn’t have voted for President Biden.
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has alleged a broader conspiracy to bury the story.
“America witnessed a coordinated campaign by social media companies, mainstream news, and the intelligence community to suppress and de-legitimize the existence of Hunter Biden’s laptop and its contents,” Mr. Comer said at a Feb. 8, 2023, hearing in Congress.
Former Twitter executives have said that putting an extended lock on The New York Post’s account over the Hunter Biden laptop report was a mistake.
