The interesting thing about Hunter Biden’s laptop is the rare opportunity to see inside the highest levels of American business and government. The videos and prostitutes and crack pictures are nothing burgers, but the calls and texts are insider gold.
For example, seeing that Tucker Carlson was best buddies with Biden as late as a half-dozen years ago is just a fact of beltway life and lends additional credibility to Carlson swearing that things are so bad. Who but the uber-connected would know?
We also see where Biden taped a call he had with Walmart’s chairman Greg Penner in 2018 about the possibility of his father running for president. Walmart, by the way, lives the truth of O’Sullivan’s Law that states that any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right wing will become left wing over time. I’m old enough to recall when Walmart wasn’t “woke”.
Penner managed Madrone Capital Partners, an investment firm with “a $1 billion investment in the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a $33 million investment in the failed search engine Cuil, and a stake the bankrupt solar energy company Solyndra, which was raided by the FBI in September 2011.”
Penner was also on the board of the Chinese company Baidu for 14 years until 2017. Walmart does a lot of business with China, and allegedly a Walmart heiress is one of the biggest funders of the Lincoln Project.
So big money meets big government and shake hands.
