Third World Style Corruption

Hunter Biden is waging lawfare against those who exposed the disgraceful and perhaps criminal contents of his forfeited laptop, in what Jonathan Turley calls a “dirty political trick.”

Turley references a column he wrote for

… the New York Post on the letters sent by Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell calling for criminal investigations, the removal of tax exempt status, and other measures targeting critics and media. It also appears to confirm that the laptop is indeed Hunter’s. However, the next day, Lowell told NBC “These letters do not confirm Mac Isaac’s or others’ versions of a so-called laptop.” It is a curious position when asking for criminal investigations like asking police to look for people who may or may not have stolen a car that may or may not be yours. The defamation and privacy claims suggested in the letter are dubious and ill-defined. However, Hunter is apparently asking for money to pay for his high-priced legal team. It is not clear if these donations would also be used to fund his cruel and craven effort to prevent his daughter from using his surname. Nevertheless, Hunter is outraged that the computer that he abandoned has been used for what his lawyer calls “this failed dirty political trick.”

This sort of thing, siccing authorities on political enemies, abusing power via connections to those who can inflict such damage on political enemies, is nothing new for the Biden family. Tucker Carlson recently compared the Bidens to the family of Saddam Hussein:

You know you’re living in a non-democracy when it’s dangerous to displease the ne’er do well children of the supreme leader. If you were, for example, at a red light in pre-invasion Baghdad and Uday Hussein came screaming up behind you, drunk in his Lamborghini, you got the hell out of the way, and you did not complain about it. And you didn’t complain about it because Uday’s dad ran the place and you did not want to make him mad. You might wind up like the members of his personal soccer team who dared to miss penalty kicks.

That’s what third world countries are like. All citizens are not equal in countries like that. Power derives from proximity to power, and that means the second most powerful people in a country like that are the children of the president. And very often they don’t have jobs and are addicted to something. That’s the way it works in places like that. And for a long time, that system seemed very foreign to most Americans. They were used to living in a democracy. They could barely even imagine it.

Carlson also talked about how the Biden administration inserted the FBI into the issue of Biden’s daughter’s abandoned diary, carelessly left under a mattress at a home had she lived in, as a guest, after drug rehab:

And in that diary, Ashley Biden recounted how her father had taken showers with her when she was young, and she attributed her later sexual compulsions to that experience with her father.

So by any standard, that seemed like clear evidence of abuse and yet no law enforcement agency, so far as we know, ever asked Joe Biden about it. Instead, once Joe Biden became president, his FBI raided the home of journalist James O’Keefe and seized the evidence. Ashley Biden’s diary was taken by force and has never been seen again.

Turley’s column brings to mind yet another incident of the abuse of power involving a Biden son. The bare facts of that incident are told in this article:

• “Larry Sinclair accused then-Presidential candidate Barack Obama of engaging with him in drug use and homosexual acts.”
• “Larry posted a video on YouTube regarding his specific allegations of sex and drug use with Obama.”
• “Attorney General of Delaware (and the late son of Joe Biden), Beau Biden, filed an Indictment against Larry charging theft of less than $1,000 and, anomalously, for an extradition warrant.”
• Sinclair organized a Press Conference in Washington DC. “Immediately after the … Press Conference and while still at the National Press Club, Larry was arrested on the Delaware warrant and subsequently extradited to Delaware … [Biden’s home state]”
• “[O]n August 28, 2008, Beau Biden filed a “nolle prosequi” or dismissal of the criminal case against Larry citing to the Court: “Insufficient Evidence”.
• Sinclair’s lawyer stated that he “ordered the actual file of Larry’s Delaware Criminal case and paid to have it retrieved from the Delaware Clerk’s storage.  The Prothonotary of Delaware has refused to produce the file for my review despite my repeated requests. I believe that file will demonstrate that there was no evidence in support of the Delaware Warrant but rather it was a way for the Bidens to shut Larry up until after the election. It worked.

Curiously (or not), that very same week, Joe Biden was announced as Obama’s running mate. Quid pro quo?

You can view the Sinclair press conference here. Commenters seemed to agree that Sinclair’s allegations seem very credible. Sinclair made a statement after the charges were dismissed. Excerpts from his statement:

I was arrested in Washington, DC on June 18, 2008 by DC Police without ever being shown any warrant of any kind. DC Superior Court, Magistrate Judge A. Melendez, in cooperation with the office of US Attorney Jeff Taylor, ordered me held without ever producing any warrant, denied me medical access to prescribed medication, phone access to counsel and more.

On June 23, 2008 I was turned over to the custody of the Delaware Attorney Generals Office [that would be Beau Biden] and driven to Wilmington, Delaware with no ID, no wallet (which the DC Police refused to allow me to carry with me upon my arrest on 6-18-08), where I was released on PR Bond. I was forced to remain in Delaware until July 4, 2008 to appear at a 7-03-08 arraignment, paid $10,500 in Attorney fees, forced to return to Delaware for a hearing on 8-11-08 (travel expenses), been accused by the Delaware Attorney General’s office of sending their employees threatening and disrespectful emails (completely untrue), and have been smeared by the Delaware News-Journal with completely false claims, with the same done by Politico.com’s Ben Smith; HuffingtonPost.com; The New Republic; and more.

All of this by the way in the name of Barack H. Obama and Joseph R. Biden III.

To the January 6 arrestees, this would all sound quite familiar, being similarly treated as political prisoners by the Biden administration, in cooperation (once again) with the DC police.

A comprehensive overview of the case can be found at this link.

Political prisoners are nothing new with the Biden family, saintly deceased son included. Also nothing new is the recruitment/assistance of online trolls, aka “bloggers,” who were instrumental in having Sinclair arrested.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Typical M.O. for this “family.”
