In the summer of 2019, a man named Rudy Giuliani sat down to lunch at Cipriani on 57th Street in Manhattan with a well-connected businessman named Vitaly Pruss.
When you’re reading names of Roger Stone and Rudy Giuliani, you must know by now this is a work of fiction being put together to attack political opponents.
That is because it actually involved Russian spies. Alexander Smirnov was a long time FBI informant who turned out to “have ties” to Russian intelligence who passed information/lies about Bidens’ dealings with Ukraine. He was convicted and sentenced to prison but has been quietly released by Trump’s DOJ. David Corn of Mother Jones is one of the few who bothered to cover that shocking story.
“Trump’s DOJ Is Helping a Convicted FBI Informant Tied to Russian Intelligence
Alexander Smirnov’s lies about Joe Biden were at the core of the GOP’s impeachment drive.”
I just wrote about some interesting attorney connections regarding Alex Smirnov and Trump's people.
Have you heard of Tom Alexandavich? He was arrested in Henderson, NV in 2025 for child sex trafficking. He is an Israeli-American who happens to be an Israeli cybersecurity director. As soon as he was arrested, he was ALLOWED to flee back to Israel before his arraignment! His attorneys, (David Chesnoff and Richard Schoenfeld) REPRESENTED ALEX SMIRNOV. His attorneys also represented Corey Lewandowski & Dan Rodimer, and a few others who are Trump’s people.
In fact, Donald, his children, and all of his inner-circle folk, share a helluva lot of the same attorneys with suspected sex traffickers and known sex traffickers; take Jeffrey Epstein for example. Trump and his family still use most of Epstein's attorneys.
Fun fact: The Trump family business started because Donald's granddaddy (Frederick) DODGED his country's draft (Bavaria) in the late 1800s, and he struck it rich during the Klondike Gold Rush by owning restaurants and BROTHELS for the miners.
Epstein said it himself: "Donald's dirty."
"I've met a lot of evil people, but no one as bad as Trump."
"Not one decent cell in his body."
I'm new to Substack, hope I'm not breaking the rules, but I'll share anyway.
That’s because it was. Those who can do, those woefully unqualified and utterly corrupt do shit like this for power, and no good fiction writer would try to sell crap like this.
Wow, can you imagine if they used their energy for good instead of ruining people's lives. Sooo disgusting. Well at least Rudy got his. What a complete scumbag. I assume Hunter doesn't buy the Parnas redemption. Hunter is such a good writer.
I think they got some property - at least I hope so. His willingness (and that of all the others that spread lies about them) to ruin the lives of completely innocent people is evil.
I'm totally engrossed in your recent writings, Hunter. Being a former coke addict myself (early '80s), I understand the strain it puts on your family, and I still fel bad that I did that to them (they have all forgiven me). Also, I'm a big fan of your family, so kudos to you on getting (and staying, hopefully!) clean, and I hope your dad is doing well, too.
They've always been mobsters and played everything like mobsters. Not slick mobsters you're used to seeing on tv or movies. More like Temu mobsters but they still get the damage done and their pockets lined. They have been doing this with Trump since he was on the scene in NYC and likely before. Sorry it happened to your family. I knew what was going on, at least the bigger picture without every name, and how our Media not only allowed it but aided and abetted it.
Those Russian mobsters are a key part of Russian intelligence. That was who ran this scheme. They had Alexander Smirnov become an FBI informant, and had Giuliani, Steve Bannon, Peter Schweizer and Jon Solomon feed their lies to the mainstream media. Bannon’s partner Schweizer wrote the book “Secret Empires” that contained the lies about the Bidens dealings with Ukraine and made sure those lies were fed to the mainstream media through Jon Solomon. That is the exact same method Bannon and Schweizer used to feel the NYT and WaPo lies about the Clinton Foundation in 2015. Now we know that the Biden Ukraine lies likely originated with Russian intelligence and were spread by FBI informant Alexander Smirnov. Smirnov was convicted but has quietly been let out of prison by Trump’s DOJ.I would bet that Bannon and Schweizer were working with Russia to get Trump elected just like their pal Paul Manafort clearly was.
The media has never admitted their colossal failure. I urge everyone to read the article below as well as those it links in order to understand just how easily the mainstream media let itself get played - twice.
“Joe Biden Is Getting Hillary-ed
The New York Times is running with a story being peddled by the same folks that went after the Clinton Foundation.”
Played? I’m beginning to think that the media (especially the NYTimes!) is in on it, not being played. NYTimes has done this too many times to give them the benefit of the doubt any longer.
I am both calm and breathless. None of this ever made any sense as a narrative. Giuliani has always been suspect in my view. Always. Dishonesty has never been a trait I've associated with the Bidens.
Trudging through the muck of the Trump administration I find nothing but corruption and the greed behind it. If you look at all of this as a long term investment, he's done pretty well for himself.
Nope, that was it for me too. I’ve been watching Joe Biden for decades, since the Anita hill hearings, and never saw anything corrupt or dishonest. If anything Biden had always been TOO honest.
Wow. I'm so sorry you were made the target of an exceedingly dirty political hit job. I'm sure most of us with a functioning brain smelled a huge rat, but the howling masses don't care about little things like plausability. Or evidence. Go figure 🙄
I always knew that the "information" supposedly found on That Laptop was suspect. It had passed through too many hands -- hands who clearly had a reason to "adjust" what they found in it.
The ugliest part of this is not just the laptop. It is the machine built before the laptop ever entered the story. They had the conclusion first: Biden must be corrupt, Hunter must be the wound they could pry open, and a father’s love for his damaged son could be turned into an attack surface. That is colder than ordinary politics. That is spiritual rot with a filing system. Addiction, grief, dying family photos, private messages, foreign disinformation, Justice Department laundering, all fed into one furnace so Trump could have a weapon. The scandal was never just what they claimed to find. It was what they were willing to become while looking.
I think the toll this all took on President Biden is ignored. The family he loved was being dragged through the mud because of him running for President.
Thank you for this clarifying article because I’ve never been able to follow this pile of shit in the newspapers-this is concise and understandable. Your father and your family are in my prayers.
I never did buy that “he left his laptop for repairs and never picked it up” story.
It smelled rotten from day one.
The GOP has always used dirty tricks in their never ending quest for power.
I’m sorry you got caught in the middle.
When you’re reading names of Roger Stone and Rudy Giuliani, you must know by now this is a work of fiction being put together to attack political opponents.
This reads like a spy novel.

I came here to say that!
I think the story’s only getting more interesting from here…
https://intellectualdorkweb.substack.com/p/why-hunter-biden-will-be-our-2028
Yeah, a really nasty one. Even Tom Clancy would have a problem coming up with the bones of a story to support it.
That’s because it was. Those who can do, those woefully unqualified and utterly corrupt do shit like this for power, and no good fiction writer would try to sell crap like this.
Where do you think spy novel writers get their material?
Wow, can you imagine if they used their energy for good instead of ruining people's lives. Sooo disgusting. Well at least Rudy got his. What a complete scumbag. I assume Hunter doesn't buy the Parnas redemption. Hunter is such a good writer.
I think Parnas regret is as fake as Michael Cohen’s .
I agree
I can't decide but he’s got a good line of bullshit. It's the zionist thing that bothers me.
Agreed.
At least it has lasted longer.
Hunter and Lev have made up. Hunter is a big fan of Lev’s and vice versa.
Their only regret is that they got caught.
Except Rudy belongs in jail and instead the case was dropped.
But I do believe Ruby and Shay got their money, probably bankrupting him.
I think they got some property - at least I hope so. His willingness (and that of all the others that spread lies about them) to ruin the lives of completely innocent people is evil.
I wondered the same thing. Parnes says, he’s sorry and was used.
Jeez! This story has exclusive Netflix series written all over it! You need to secure the rights to it asap.
Yes! This story needs to be told! Everyone who ever had to suffer through the unending laptop drama should know the truth of it.
👍❗️
Wow.. devastating, but please don’t let this story be your only story… your recovery is the important story.
I think this is part of his recovery process. IMHO
It truly is.
Recovery is the most important story.
Recovery ❤️🔥

Exactly so. Anything that came from any of those bastards was immediately suspect.
"likely before" 👍

Hunter, you are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your story, and your experience, strength, and hope. You're post have been great.
Wow. I'm so sorry you were made the target of an exceedingly dirty political hit job. I'm sure most of us with a functioning brain smelled a huge rat, but the howling masses don't care about little things like plausability. Or evidence. Go figure 🙄
Ugh, plausibility! Typos grrrrr!

They were already corrupt people & had been for years. This is standard operating for all of them.
Thank you for this clarifying article because I’ve never been able to follow this pile of shit in the newspapers-this is concise and understandable. Your father and your family are in my prayers.
Jesus, I went down the rabbit hole of googling Jonathan Buma... Thiel, Musk, etc. etc.
Me too. Surprise, surprise, they are after Buma. The FBI has always been partisan.
Mobsters got to mobster I guess.
3 words: Bring them down.
