Hunter Biden's Laptop Probe Referred to FBI, Delaware State Police Say

U.S. Hunter Biden Delaware Rudy Giuliani
"The Delaware state police have passed on an inquiry concerning the laptop purportedly belonging to Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, to the FBI.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax that he handed over the laptop that he claims belongs to Hunter Biden to the Delaware state police on Monday.
"In light of ongoing questions about the credibility of these claims and multiple reports that the FBI is investigating their veracity, law enforcement is referring this matter to the FBI," a Delaware State Police spokesperson told Newsweek. The Delaware State Police also confirmed that they are not in possession of the laptop.
Newsweek reached out to the FBI for further information and Biden's campaign for comment.



Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff accused each other of politicizing intelligence on Monday over emails allegedly found on the laptop.
More than 50 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter on Monday detailing their belief that the laptop "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."
After Schiff called revelations stemming from the laptop a Kremlin "smear" campaign, Ratcliffe on Monday insisted that the laptop "is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign."


"Let me be clear: The intelligence community doesn't believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. And we have shared no intelligence with Adam Schiff, or any member of Congress," he said.
In a statement to Newsweek, a spokesperson for Schiff accused Ratcliffe of "purposefully misrepresenting" the Democrat's words to "mislead the public" and help Trump.
"The Intelligence Community has stated publicly that Russia is once again seeking to benefit Donald Trump's election campaign by denigrating Joe Biden with attacks the Treasury Department described as, 'false and unsubstantiated narratives' ... designed to culminate prior to Election Day," the statement read.

The controversial emails allegedly written by the son of the Democratic presidential nominee were obtained by the New York Post and appear to show terms of agreements with Chinese and Ukrainian companies. The Post's story has not been corroborated by mainstream news outlets and is based on the accounts of two people close to Trump: Giuliani and Stephen Bannon.
The emails were reportedly found on a laptop that was left behind at a New Jersey computer repair store in 2019. But the store's legally blind owner John Macissac was unable to identify whether the computer was dropped off by Hunter Biden.
Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates has asserted that the candidate has "engaged in no wrongdoing," but did not deny that the laptop belonged to Hunter Biden.
"Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and political by a GOP colleague have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing. Trump administration officials have attested to these facts under oath,' Bates said in a statement.
One of the emails in question suggests that Hunter Biden arranged a meeting between his father and a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm in 2015, when the then-vice president was in charge of Ukraine-U.S. policy. Bates said a review of Biden's schedule found no evidence that such a meeting had taken place.
While some questioned the validity of the allegations, calling it a political hit job, Trump has used the laptop as ammunition for attacking Biden. With less than two weeks left to Election Day, the president on Tuesday vowed to focus on pressing the former vice president about the allegations leveled at his son."

Citizen's Guide To U.S. Federal Law On The Extraterritorial Sexual Exploitation Of Children

18 U.S.C. § 2423(d): Travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct
18 U.S.C. § 2423(c): Engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places
18 U.S.C. § 2423(d): Ancillary Offenses
18 U.S.C. §§ 2251(c) and 2260(a): Production of Child Pornography outside the United States
18 U.S.C. § 1591: Sex Trafficking of children by force, fraud, or coercion
18 U.S.C. § 1596: Additional jurisdiction in certain trafficking offenses

Federal law provides “extraterritorial jurisdiction” over certain sex offenses against children. Extraterritorial jurisdiction is the legal authority of the United States to prosecute criminal conduct that took place outside its borders.

Section 2423(c) of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits United States citizens or legal permanent residents from traveling from the United States to a foreign country, and while there, raping or sexually molesting a child or paying a child for sex. Citizens can be punished under this law even if the conduct they engaged in was legal in the country where it occurred. For example, if an individual traveled to a country that had legalized prostitution, and while they were there they paid a child for sex, that individual could still be convicted under this statute. The penalty for this provision is up to 30 years in prison.

Section 2423(b) of Title 18, United States Code, is a similar provision. Section 2423(b) makes it a crime for United States citizens or legal permanent residents to travel from the United States to a foreign country with the intent to engage in illegal sexual conduct with a child such as rape, molestation, or prostitution. The difference between Section 2423(b) and Section 2423(c) is that Section 2423(b) statute requires proof that the defendant had formed his criminal intent at the time he began to travel. The penalty for this offense is also up to 30 years in prison. Finally, Section 2423(d) makes it a crime to be what is known informally as being a “child sex tour operator.” This statute makes it an offense to profit by facilitating the travel of U.S. Citizens or legal permanent residents, knowing that they are traveling for the purpose of engaging in illegal sex with a minor. The penalty for this offense is up to 30 years in prison.

There are also some child pornography laws that apply to conduct overseas. Sections 2251(c) and 2260(a) of Title 18, United States Code both make it a crime for anyone to produce child pornography in foreign countries if they import the child abuse images into the United States, or if they intend to do so. The penalty for a first time offender under these statutes is at least 15 years, up to a maximum of 30 years in prison.

Finally, 18 U.S.C. § 1596 grants extraterritorial jurisdiction over 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion). In this instance, this means that federal prosecutors can investigate and prosecute foreign nationals who commit sex trafficking crimes against children outside the United States. Section 1596 also allows the federal government to investigate and prosecute U.S. nationals and residents who commit child sex trafficking crimes in foreign countries (For more information on 18 U.S.C. § 1591, see Citizen’s Guide to U.S. Federal Law on the Prostitution of Children).

For all of these statutes, a child is considered to be anyone under the age of 18.

It isn't dis-information until proven to be dis-information, Trumper and that hasn't happened.

Lock him up and let's have a special prosecutor investigate his dad who appears to have used his office as VP to enrich coke-head Hunter and himself.
