IRS Whistleblowers Confirm Authenticity of Hunter Biden’s Laptop

IRS whistleblowers have revealed that the FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop in November 2019, almost a year before social media companies censored stories about it. They also claim that certain contents of the laptop were withheld during the criminal investigation.

Biden’s Relations with China

The whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and “Whistleblower X,” both IRS agents involved in the Hunter Biden investigation, made these claims. According to Shapley, the FBI became aware of the laptop in October 2019 and verified its authenticity in November of that year. The laptop was matched to Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID. However, there were limitations on the laptop contents that could be used in the inquiry.

Shapley further testified that the FBI contacted the repair shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, to obtain the device numbers. These numbers were then cross-referenced with third-party records, confirming that the laptop belonged to Hunter Biden. The FBI took possession of the device in December 2019 and notified the IRS that it likely contained evidence of tax crimes.

It is important to note that the laptop was considered abandoned property, allowing the FBI to obtain it through a document request rather than a physical custody warrant.

The authenticity of the laptop has been confirmed by cyber forensics expert Konstantinos “Gus” Dimitrelos, who conducted an examination of the device. He concluded that all the activity on the hard drive and its stored data were the sole responsibility of Hunter Biden.

Recently, Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun. IRS whistleblower claims have also revealed the politicization of the Justice Department investigation, including allegations that charges were sought in California and Washington, D.C., but were repeatedly denied.

The laptop’s contents, which allegedly showed evidence of shady business dealings in Ukraine and China, were censored by social media companies when the New York Post attempted to share the articles on its Twitter account. Former Twitter deputy general counsel Jim Baker defended the censorship, claiming caution was warranted due to the possibility of hacked materials.

However, the FBI’s actions and the subsequent censorship have raised concerns about the handling of the laptop investigation and the potential suppression of information.
