The legacy media never ceases to surprise us with the lengths to which they will go to suppress information they deem inconvenient to their agenda.
According to emails obtained by Breitbart News, The New York Times knowingly allowed fake news to spread for over a year by furthering the “Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation” narrative for over 500 days after it had already authenticated crucial emails from the laptop.
In one email obtained by Breitbart, Times reporter Ken Vogel wrote to the attorneys of former Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski. In that correspondence, which was dated Oct. 15, 2020, at 5:20 p.m. PT, Vogel asked them to verify the legitimacy of communications cited in the New York Post’s original article on the Hunter Biden laptop that included Bobulinski.
“Sorry to drop unannounced into your inboxes during this hectic time,” Vogel wrote to various of Bobulinski’s lawyers. “I am attempting to assess the authenticity of emails cited in The New York Post that include your client, Tony Bobulinksi, as a recipient and an ostensible participant in a business venture in China with Hunter Biden.”
In his emails, Vogel asked the attorneys to inform him as to the background and authenticity of the communications reported on in the Post piece, as well as to explain how the paper obtained them.
Vogel’s inquiry came mere hours after the New York Post published its famous report on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which shook the political world with its revelations about the inner dealings of the Biden family, including the planning of a potential business deal with China which involved ten percent for “the big guy” — Joe Biden himself.
Addressing the source of her bombshell reporting in the Post, Emma-Jo Morris, who now works at Breitbart, wrote in 2020: “The email is contained in a trove of data that the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware said was recovered from a MacBook Pro laptop that was dropped off in April 2019 and never retrieved.”
Speaking to Breitbart, Bobulinski said that the morning after Vogel sent his attorneys the inquiry email, he joined Vogel on a phone call — during which Bobulinski confirmed to the Times reporter the authenticity of the emails. While he did so on condition of anonymity, the verification was nevertheless sufficient for the Times to be able to report that the email exchange published by the Post was authentic.
Bobulinski told Breitbart:
It was the craziest thing. It seemed like the entire political world was debating whether the “10% for the Big Guy” email was authentic and if so, who the Big Guy was….
Ken Vogel, a reporter for the storied New York Times is told that the email is indeed authentic, that Joe Biden is indeed the “Big Guy,” and that he can attribute that information to a recipient of the email. You’d think that’s a pretty big scoop.
Nope. Vogel just sat on it. Remember, he reached out to me so he damn well knew that the information was newsworthy. I had literally hundreds of reporters reaching out to me. I responded to him and trusted that he would do something with that information because I was told that he shoots straight on his Biden coverage.
Nothing could be further from the truth. He was taking sides, not reporting the news — and he did so to the detriment of American voters. All the news that’s fit to print? What an absolute joke.
Vogel and the Times did not publish a story saying that the newspaper had authenticated emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop until March 2022 — over 500 days from the time Vogel had the phone call with Bobulinski. And even when they did — on March 16, 2022 — the Times cited different “authenticated” emails than the Bobulinski ones that they had already authenticated more than a year before.
Here’s what Vogel, along with fellow Times reporters Katie Benner and Michael Schmidt, wrote in their article:
People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between [Hunter] Biden, [Devon] Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity…. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.
Even then, they buried this crucial bit of information 24 paragraphs into their article. And again, they made no mention of Bobulinski, who had authenticated the Hunter Biden emails for them the very day that the New York Post’s original story was published — even though that authentication disproves the narrative of the Hunter Biden laptop story being Russian disinformation, which the mainstream media perpetuated through the 2020 election.
What this shows is that the Times was clearly “in on it,” deliberately withholding information in their possession in order to protect the Biden family in general, and specifically to assist Joe Biden in his presidential campaign against Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Adam Kinzinger, the former Republican congressman who voted to impeach Trump and whom Democrats selected to sit on the January 6 committee, said during a CNN appearance that for Republicans to go after Hunter Biden with information from the laptop is a “dangerous path.”
Already, the Left has been attacking those Republicans involved in investigating the Bidens.
As The New American has reported, a Democratic dark money group known as the Congressional Integrity Project is performing opposition research on and buying attack ads against congressmen like Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the Judiciary Committee; and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the Oversight Committee — both of whom are using their positions to probe the Bidens.
