Hunter Biden’s laptop was distributed to Congressmen and the media by a source who has left the United States for Switzerland. This source left the country concerned that he could be killed by the Biden administration.
Early in 2021, Jack Maxey sent journalists a copy of the hard drive from Hunter’s abandoned laptop.
Moreover, he sent copies and information from it to the Washington Post, New York Times, and Senator Chuck Grassley, acting in his role as ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee but he claims they all took months to look at it.
Maxey has been hiding in Zurich for the past two weeks as he works with IT experts to retrieve more data from the ‘laptop from hell’
The former co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast claims that he and his colleagues have found more than 120,000 archived emails, and ‘450 gigabytes of deleted material’ including 80,000 images and videos.
Within the next few weeks, he intends to make them searchable online in a comprehensive database.
Hunter left his laptop behind at a Delaware computer store in 2019. John Mac Isaac, the owner, provided a copy to Rudy Giuliani, who gave it to Maxey.
‘I came here so that we could do a forensic examination of Hunter’s laptop safely in a country that still respects human liberty and the ideals of liberal democratic principles,’ he explained to reporters.
‘I do not believe this would have been possible inside the United States. We had numerous attempts on us from trying to do things like this there.’
Former US intelligence officers Maxey shared copies with said they received strange calls after he contacted the media about the laptop last year. He also noted that black SUVs turned up outside his house after he contacted the media.
‘I showed this to a friend of mine in desperation in February [2021] because nobody would listen to me. No news organizations would take it. In fact, the very first major news organization to take it was the Daily Mail,’ he added.
‘Very dear friends of mine, the sharp tip of the spear, were making welfare calls to me every day, basically to see if I was still alive.’
After getting the hard drive in 2020, Maxey said a former intelligence agency official told him: ‘If you don’t release enough of this, so that they know you can release all of it, I’m telling you brother, you’re a dead man.’
Maxey heeded their advice in October 2020 and posted batches of emails and other files from his laptop on file-sharing websites.
However, the links were removed about an hour later.
It is Maxey’s belief that the US government has been hunting down files from the laptop that were posted online and flagging them for companies.
‘There were five drop boxes: two in the United States, one in New Zealand, two in the UK. All the same drop boxes in which they tell us child pornography is shared around the globe without any consequence because they can’t look at it.
‘These are all Five Eyes countries, English speaking countries in an intelligence sharing agreement. And they were all ripped down.
‘So this means that our intelligence services, who still have not even acknowledged that they have Hunter Biden’s laptop, were obviously diligently doing cache searches across the internet to find out if any of this stuff was being released.
‘That should terrify every single decent person in the West.’
He chose Switzerland as a hiding place because Swiss Transfer, a file-sharing service located in historically politically neutral Switzerland, was the only file-sharing service that hadn’t taken the laptop files down.
His anger is directed at the FBI, which he believes stalled their investigation into Hunter and delayed entering the laptop they acquired from Isaac into evidence for months.
The New York Times reports that evidence from Hunter’s laptop has been incorporated into his federal prosecution for alleged tax evasion, money laundering, and illegal foreign lobbying.
There is a wealth of information on the laptop, including emails and documents that demonstrate Hunter’s connections with Burisma, the gas firm at the center of Trump’s first impeachment.
He is alleged to have pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to initiate a corruption investigation into the Bidens and Burisma.
As Maxey argues, the FBI would have vindicated Trump if they had come forward with emails showing Hunter’s work for Burisma in 2020.
‘The FBI had this on the ninth of December 2019,’ he stated. ‘I suppose the first person betrayed was a sitting US president in an impeachment hearing, when the FBI had the exculpatory evidence in their hands to have that end instantly, and they did nothing.
‘The second group of people to be betrayed were all of the Democratic candidates in the spring primaries that year,’ he continued.
‘The American people were utterly betrayed, because I guarantee you that Joe Biden couldn’t run for dog catcher if the American people knew about this laptop.’
Several emails from Hunter’s hard drive allude to Joe’s involvement in a multimillion-dollar deal with the Chinese state-owned energy company CEFC.
