More leaked audio has surfaced from the world of Steve Bannon, this time on Hunter Biden’s Laptop From Hell, as it quickly became known in common parlance. The audio comes from an October 31, 2020, meeting between Bannon and supporters of his billionaire Chinese right-wing media friend, Guo Wengui, who controls pro-Trump, Chinese-language media sites and nonprofits that spread various forms of far-right disinformation. Mother Jones:

Steve Bannon’s machinations around the 2020 presidential race were, at least according to his own words, sleazier and more cynical than even some of his harshest critics might have guessed. In leaked audio previously revealed by Mother Jones, the former Trump White House strategist said shortly before the 2020 election that Trump intended to declare victory on election night even if he was losing—part of a preexisting plan, Bannon made clear, to falsely assert that any Trump defeat was due to fraud.

But that wasn’t all. Bannon also boasted on the recording about his efforts to help position Trump for his big election-fraud lie. Aiming to hurt Joe Biden’s chances and at least narrow the election results, Bannon ensured that sexually explicit material from Hunter Biden’s laptop was widely publicized. For that, he enlisted help from his patron, exiled Chinese mogul Guo Wengui. Bannon also expressed approval of lies by Guo and his associates about what that material actually showed, referring to their false accusations that Hunter Biden committed salacious crimes as “editorial creativity.”

About a week before the meeting with Bannon in late October 2020, Guo’s associates had begun posting videos and pictures of Hunter Biden engaged in sexual encounters and using drugs on GTV, a since shuttered video-streaming site run by Guo. In leaked messages previously uncovered by Mother Jones, Guo directed subordinates in detail on how to post and distribute material from Biden’s laptop. He further instructed them to spread false claims about the material: First, he told them to say the files included images of Hunter Biden with underage Chinese girls. There is no evidence at all supporting this allegation. Second, Guo told subordinates to claim that the Chinese government had obtained the material and used it to blackmail Hunter and his father, Joe Biden. That, too, was a lie, people involved in publishing the material told me.

Bannon’s role in this effort was never in much doubt. When the New York Post began reporting in mid-October 2020 on other material from Hunter Biden’s laptop, the tabloid explained that its journalists had learned of the hard drive from Bannon and had later received a copy of it from Rudy Giuliani. A computer shop owner in Delaware said he had given a copy of the hard drive to Giuliani.

Here’s another video by Mother Jones to give you context and background.

I think both Bannon and Giuliani deserve to rot in prison and then in Hell. I don’t know how Bannon’s sentencing will go, but the full two years is not nearly enough for all the damage that man has done and what he’s gotten away with.

As to Giuliani, we haven’t seen his moment of reckoning yet, but often, things that you have to wait for, are just that much sweeter. Giuliani went off his rocker and sold his soul to these people long ago. I can’t imagine that it was even remotely worth it, but maybe Giuliani would say it was. What did he get? Some amount of money and the opportunity to meddle in things over his head. More will be revealed, that much we can count on.

    • As if you REALLY care about links to back anything up. Trump says one thing one day, the complete opposite the next (claiming he’d never said anything different), then pivots back to the original thing (again claiming he’d never said anything different) and you believe him both times–no matter how many “links” might exist showing his about-face. And all because Trump told you anything contrary to what he’d say on any given day was just “fake news.”

      Go back wherever you came from and get your shiny nickel for your trolling duty.

  1. One thing I’m still curious about – just WHERE is the alleged laptop that Hunter Biden is supposed to have left for repair and never came to collect it?

    There are supposed ‘copies’ of the hard drive – but no mention of that ACTUAL drive or the computer or who actually has it
