REPORT ON THE BIDEN LAPTOP

To add more injury to the insult of gaslighting, the DOJ HQ under the leadership of Bill Barr—and
specifically the U.S. attorney73 for Delaware, David Weiss—slow-walked74 the investigation into the
Biden family’s crimes.75 The reasons for slow-walking the investigation put forth by the DOJ HQ were
about “avoiding election politics,”7677 yet the DOJ HQ’s delay was itself a political decision, as it
withheld key information from voters. Said differently: If not for the Biden surname, members of the
family would have been treated much differently. Justice delayed was justice denied; Barr and Weiss
delayed justice.78 President Trump responded79 to these revelations by lamenting the fact that the
“Justice” Department denied to the American people the very thing it was charged to deliver by
delaying subpoenas and otherwise hindering the normal course of law enforcement. As was the case
in many8081 previous instances, Hunter’s surname82 got him out of a serious pinch—at least for now.

74 “Last summer, federal officials in Delaware investigating Hunter Biden faced a dilemma. The probe had reached a point
where prosecutors could have sought search warrants and issued a flurry of grand jury subpoenas. Some officials
involved in the case wanted to do just that. Others urged caution. They advised Delaware’s U.S. Attorney, David Weiss, to
avoid taking any actions that could alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election.”

also bent over backward a second time with an age waiver so he could secure the cushy part-time job.”

 REPORT ON THE BIDEN LAPTOP

Having received cover from the DOJ until after the 2020 [s]election8384 certification vote on
12/08/2020, Hunter released a statement filled with doublespeak.85 To ensure that the federal
investigation went nowhere uncomfortable for Hunter, Joe appointed the colleague of Hunter’s
attorney to be the chief deputy of the DOJ’s criminal division on his first full day in office.86 Tellingly,
Nick McQuaid87 has refused to recuse himself from the investigation into the Bidens.88 To map out
how this illegal influence operation worked: Chris Clark, Hunter’s attorney, and Nick McQuaid both
worked at Latham & Watkins LLP. The pair argued cases together, so spin doctors in the media
cannot reasonably claim that Latham & Watkins is just a huge international law firm where Clark and
McQuaid barely interacted. In one of his very first acts as pResident, Joe appointed McQuaid to help
oversee the division investigating his own family; the criminal division at DOJ HQ oversees the U.S.
Attorney’s office in Delaware. In short, McQuaid likely violated 28 CFR § 45.2 by not recusing89
himself from the investigation; McQuaid’s boss at the DOJ HQ, Ken Polite, did not publish an opinion
stating that McQuaid’s participation in the case “would not create an appearance of a conflict of
interest likely to affect the public perception of the integrity of the investigation or prosecution.”90

BACKGROUND 13
 REPORT ON THE BIDEN LAPTOP

Hunter has moved on to other shady91 activity by joining perhaps the only industry that is more
corrupt than his lucrative gig in the Ukrainian energy sector: art dealing. Hunter’s dealer, a portly
sinophile9293 and bankrupt94 former felon95 named Georges Berges, boasted about his “group of
about 25 collectors, most of them overseas,” and that he has been “inundated with calls from
collectors eager to buy Biden’s art.”96 Hunter has plans to host an exhibit with the self-pitying title of
“Under the Microscope,” which will be sponsored by Berges’s gallery.97 Even with well-documented
money laundering issues and other criminal activity that has occurred in the art industry for many
decades, Berges considers Hunter’s artwork to be more consequential than Joe’s public office: “I
believe that he’s [Hunter] [is] going to be considered a great artist of this century. His father [Joe] will
be known, of course, as a US president, but most importantly as the father of a great artist.”98

With Hunter’s new scheme all set up, it was richly ironic that his own father’s administration released
a report99100 in December 2021 that actually told the truth: the art industry has a “built-in opacity, lack
of stable and predictable pricing, and inherent cross-border transportability of goods sold, [which]
make[s] the market optimal for illicit value transfer, sanctions evasion, and corruption.” Equally ironic,
a similar report101 was released less than five months before the 2020 [s]election by none other than
a longtime ally102 of the Biden family and Joe’s former colleague, U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D-DE).103

91 “So instead of disclosing who is paying outrageous sums for Hunter Biden’s artwork so that we could monitor whether
the purchasers are gaining access to government, the WH tried to make sure we will never know who they are… The idea
[is] that even Hunter won’t know, but the WH has outsourced government ethics to a private art dealer. We’re supposed to
trust a merchant in an industry that’s fertile ground for money laundering, as well as unknown buyers who could tell
Hunter or WH officials?”

 REPORT ON THE BIDEN LAPTOP

It is important for Marco Polo to make clear—especially to law enforcement agencies—that this
Report was prepared with an extremely attentive eye towards 18 USC § 119,111 having seen the
lengths112 the FBI113 and other entities in the apparatus have gone to harass citizens who expose
corruption.114 Said differently, we redacted whatever was legally required to be redacted in this Report
and absolutely nothing more.115 Marco Polo does not break the law—we expose those who do.

Additionally, 18 USC § 4 requires116 that any person who has “knowledge of the actual commission of
a felony” must report it “as soon as possible” to “some judge or other person in civil or military
authority.” In plain-speak, this statute required us to expose the felonies and other crimes contained
on the Biden Laptop and send the Report to law enforcement agencies across the nation at the
federal and state levels. Furthermore, Marco Polo unequivocally disclaims any intention to cause any
threat, intimidating action, or incitement of harm to any person covered by 18 USC § 119 and we do
not condone, encourage, intend, or have any knowledge that any other person will or may use the
information in this Report for any unlawful purpose. As we will demonstrate, Marco Polo’s motive is to
see justice delivered—to all criminals—by those whose responsibility it is to carry out that duty.

112 “Almost immediately, the details of the raids and confidential legal communications stored on the cellphone of Project
Veritas founder James O’Keefe were published in The New York Times. … In 2001, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that
media outlets can’t be held liable for publishing information that someone else obtained illegally, as long as the media
outlets themselves did not obtain the material illegally.”

114 “The inquiry has also intensified the scrutiny of Project Veritas. Its founder, James O’Keefe, was pulled from his

apartment in his underwear and handcuffed during a dawn raid last month by the F.B.I., two days after a pair of his former

115 Marco Polo made a good faith attempt to redact information which appears to be restricted information. In several

instances, the information was already in the public domain by disclosure from another source. Because no action has
been taken by law enforcement, that information—by implication—does not meet the definition of “restricted” under the
applicable statute. Nevertheless, any disclosure of restricted information in this Report was unintentional.
