Summary: Hunter Biden consented to turn over all his communications through his laptop. All e-mails implicated everyone (US Persons, Government Officials, Corporations, Foreign Actors/Countries, etc.) he worked with as foreign insurgents open to investigation. To protect him as a consenting person in cooperation with any sensitive foreign surveillance operations, no agency can legally touch his laptop and any e-mail associated with it in an investigatory capacity without the approval of the AG -- then being Barr.
The Hunter Biden laptop story exploded around October 15th, 2020 not because it was timely for Trump and the election but because it HAD to.
The only reason the document on post 4891 below was disclosed so early is because it legally had to so all agencies knew they couldn't touch the Hunter Biden laptop despite SWATHES of proof in foreign interference, bribes, terrorism, child trafficking/pornography, illegal narcotics trade/use, prostitution, etc.
It came out 22 years before it "had to" so everyone (all agencies, legal firms, police, etc.) know you can't touch Hunter Biden without express approval of the AG.
I think the "real" Hunter Biden is in Witness Protection and the one doing the paintings now is an unincorporated/trustee manager of HUNTERBIDEN®.

The cross was backwards. Creepy and evil.
