Why people recommend it

Laptop from Hell by Miranda Devine is an investigative exposé detailing the controversies surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop and the broader implications of the Biden family's foreign business dealings. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Dr. Jordan Peterson discussed reading the book and remarked that the Bidens frequently made excuses for Hunter akin to what an unsophisticated parent might offer after a minor juvenile offense. Returning to the topic in a later episode with the author herself, Peterson reflected on the catchy and ultimately appropriate title of the book, noting insights regarding a complex network of shell companies used to funnel foreign funds. He also expressed concern regarding Hunter Biden accompanying his father on foreign affairs voyages despite behaving inappropriately, as well as evidence indicating that Hunter funded maintenance and upkeep expenses for Joe Biden's Delaware estate. On The Tucker Carlson Show, Tucker Carlson highlighted Devine's work as a substantiation of corruption claims while lamenting the lack of institutional accountability. Miranda Devine also appeared on the program to discuss how her New York Post reporting and the contents of her book faced widespread censorship by big tech companies prior to the 2020 presidential election. Across these diverse podcast appearances, the book was consistently cited as a foundational document for understanding alleged political corruption, media censorship, and the financial entanglements of the American political elite during a tumultuous election cycle.

“Now I read the Biden laptop book, Miranda Devine's book, 'Laptop from Hell,' and the Bidens have been making excuses for Hunter of the sort that a relatively unsophisticated, dependency-enabling parent could make with some justification the first time their 14-year-old son committed a juvenile offense.”
Discussed
“You may remember, or you may not, that I spoke to Miranda about her last book, 'Laptop from Hell.' She has a new one called 'The Big Guy,' which continues her documentation of the Biden family and deep state saga.”
Discussed
“Miranda, we spoke about a year ago, and I think I released our first podcast on October 4, and that was 'Laptop from Hell,' which was a catchy title. After delving into your book and through the associated material online, I found that to be a pretty appropriate title.”
Discussed
“I don't remember if I gathered this information from your book on the laptop, but perhaps I did. My understanding is that the Bidens have surrounded themselves with a very complex network of shell companies and that much money from foreign business dealings has been funneled through those companies involving extended members of the Biden family, most particularly, I guess,”
Discussed
“It was strange to me, of course, going through 'Laptop from Hell,' to understand that Hunter Biden had come along with his father on his foreign affairs voyages. I thought that was strange for two reasons: first, Hunter was not exactly behaving in an admirable manner at that point with regard to his personal habits, and that was unwise for”
Discussed
“There is some evidence on the laptop that I mentioned in the first book that Hunter Biden was funding Joe Biden—he was paying some of his bills for the sort of maintenance and upkeep of his estate in Delaware, things like a painting and putting in a retaining wall and new air conditioning in a cottage on the grounds, new”
Discussed
“You have an amazing book on Hunter Biden's laptop, which sort of substantiates a lot of what you're saying, but no one has ever been punished for it.”
Discussed
“And I think, you know, the the first book, The Laptop From Hell that we at The New York Post wrote about and then got censored by Big tech at the time. That was before the 2020 election.”
Discussed
“We're talking about her 2021 book, which should be old news by now but hasn't been well covered enough to be that, 'Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide.'”
Discussed
“It's not surprising in some ways that one of the reactions of the broader media was to assume that this couldn't possibly be real, because when you read it, I mean, I'm still recovering from reading your book, and I want to delve into that as deeply as possible to establish, let's say, its credibility.”
Discussed
“But I’m really taken aback by the material that you reported in 'Laptop from Hell.' I don't know what to make of it.”
Discussed
“And when I was reading your book, I was trying to give Hunter the benefit of the doubt, partly for the reasons that you describe.”
Discussed
“Now, you go out of your way in your book to point out there's absolutely no evidence, as far as you can tell, that he veered into, say, underage sexual activity, and so that's a very important thing to point out.”
Discussed
“That's what the book is; I mean it's just laying out and trying to distill this mess of a laptop.”
Discussed
“Now in your book, you said that and you just elaborated on that now because, you know, one of the things people might be wondering is, well what the hell is this laptop shop owner combing through this hard drive for to begin with?”
Discussed
“Now you detailed this in your book that Mac Isaac actually got extremely nervous once he realized what was on the laptop and he went to the FBI; is that correct?”
Discussed
“And then to have the security community come out, now you detail this in your book too; there are dozens of people from the security and intelligence community that come out and say, oh, this is definitely Russian disinformation.”
Discussed
“The, uh, that was a letter that was written just a few days after our story came out and was suppressed, and it was designed, we know, to help Joe Biden in the second debate against Donald Trump in which obviously the laptop from hell is going to come up.”
Discussed
“So how's your book done, by the way?”
Discussed
“Miranda, that's, uh, that's quite the book, Laptop from Hell; for those of you again who are watching and listening, you might want to go read that and, you know, draw your own conclusions because this is, uh, it's something you should be investigating and thinking about, especially because there's an election upcoming in, you know, about a year, and”
