The Hunter Biden e-mail scandal grew through the weekend with two reports that show tomorrow’s election might give a drug and porn addict regular access to the Oval Office.
The younger Biden already had access to top U.S. government officials when his father, Joe Biden, was President Barack Obama’s No. 2. But now, with the elder Biden in line to become president if he wins Tuesday’s election, Hunter Biden has the chance to peddle even more influence than in the past.
The latest: His laptop, the Daily Mail reported, was a major national security risk that was not encrypted or even protected with appropriate passwords. It also shows that Biden spent more than $20,000 on Internet porn.
Meanwhile, the Daily Caller has authenticated an e-mail from a Burisma Holdings executive to Hunter Biden that thanks him for arranging a meeting with his father. That same exec wanted Hunter Biden’s help in shutting down a Ukrainian prosecutor’s probe of Burisma. The probe ended months later in 2016, when then Vice President Biden forced Ukraine to fire the prosecutor.

Americans must ask what measures Joe Biden will take to keep classified information from his son, and whether Hunter Biden will be banned from the White House and meetings with cabinet and other national security officials.
In other words, how will Joe Biden protect the country from his son?
Phone Numbers and $21K on Internet Porn
The latest material came from the now-famous laptop Hunter Biden dropped at a repair shop. He did not return to retrieve it, and so the owner passed it to the FBI and a top advisor to President Trump, Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani passed it to the New York Post, which published the first of the damning e-mails that link Joe Biden to his son’s business associates at Burisma, and then to a company doing business in China.
The new e-mails might be worse, given what they prove: When Joe Biden was vice president, Hunter Biden had access to sensitive personal information about top U.S. officials and other prominent individuals and recklessly stored it on an unprotected laptop.
The password was “Hunter02.”
The material on the laptop includes the following, the Mail reported:
Joe Biden’s personal mobile number and three private email addresses as well as the names of his Secret Service agents;
Mobile numbers for former President Bill Clinton, his wife Hillary and almost every member of former President Barack Obama’s cabinet;
A contact database of 1,500 people including actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, former Presidential candidate John Kerry and ex-FBI boss Louis Freeh;
Personal documents including Hunter’s passport, driver’s licence, social security card, credit cards and bank statements;
Details of Hunter’s drug and sex problems, including $21,000 spent on one “live cam” porn website and “selfies” of him engaging in sex acts and smoking crack cocaine;
One e-mail from Jasmine.com turned down the sex addict for a roll in the cyberhay because his credit card was maxed. Biden spent $11,400 on a single night of debauchery at a New York strip club.
In an interview last year, Hunter openly described at length his lurch into the seedy world of drugs and sleaze.
“Everyone has trauma. There’s addiction in every family,” he told The New Yorker magazine. “I was in that darkness. I was in that tunnel — it’s a never-ending tunnel.”
That tunnel took in the Hustler Club in New York, where he spent £8,800 in a single night in September 2018, and the Streamray porn website from which he bought a five-figure sum of services in just six months.
The Biden Files contain log-in details and passwords for numerous sex sites and multiple payments to women whose names link back to escort websites.
Major Security Risk
The reckless behavior is “staggering,” cybersecurity excerpt Chris Greany told the Mail.
“For someone prominent, there is not only a risk of great reputational damage but also a risk of blackmail should the material fall into the wrong hands,” said Greany, who has advised British foreign secretaries.
Another expert authenticated the contents, which means the laptop and its contents are not, as Joe Biden and the leftist media would have voters believe, “Russian disinformation.”
Said another of the Mail’s sources, “Hunter has been potential blackmail fodder for years.”
Burisma E-mail Authenticated
Meanwhile, the Daily Caller hired cybersecurity expert Robert Graham to authenticate the Burisma exec’s e-mail. That note, a thank you to Hunter Biden in April 2015 for arranging a meeting with his father, was among the first the Post published from the laptop.
It was also the first among others that show Joe Biden lied when he said he knew nothing of his son’s business ventures. It also suggests the former veep did indeed push Ukraine to fire the prosecutor to protect his son. The prosecutor was investigating Burisma, which employed Hunter at a ridiculously large salary.
The e-mail’s metadata validated it:
Graham used the DKIM signature within the email to verify with a private key on Google’s servers that the sender, recipient, subject, date and body of the message that the DCNF obtained from Giuliani were unchanged from when the email was originally sent in April 2015.
