After half a decade of deliberate inaction by the Justice Department, Hunter Biden now faces actual prison time, not just over the nine tax crimes he is currently accused of but also related to whether he failed to register as a foreign agent during his overseas influence-peddling, and nearly all the criminal comeuppance for the first son originated with the reporting on Biden’s abandoned laptop, a story that the corporate press and the intelligence community spent four years of concerted efforts to silence and discredit.

And yet, NBC News and the deep state flacks that tried to gaslight us all about the veracity of the laptop are now trying to take a victory lap over the indictment of FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who had nothing to do with the original laptop story.
