THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED BY MY FRIEND YAACOV APELBAUM. HERE IS THE LINK TO THE ORIGINAL.

Before you jump on the IRS whistleblower bandwagon and his narrative about the smoking gun Hunter Biden WattsUp message screenshot, you may want to consider the following issues:
- The HB icon on the WhatsApp message screenshot (top left corner in the composite bellow) was scraped from an photo taken on April 18, 2022, during the White House Easter Egg Roll. That’s five years after the alleged 2017 WhatsApp message was sent. There are two likely explanations for this:
- I. The WhatsApp message screenshot was collected from a device HB was using in 2022 (we assess this as a low probability).
- II. The WhatsApp message screenshot is a forgery (we assess this as a high probability).
- By early 2021, HB knew that his laptop/other devices/online accounts were being scrutinized. As a result, he conducted an extensive digital bleaching campaign (e.g., purging identifiable content on his PornHub page). Considering this, It is doubtful that he would have retained such a damaging message or even the WattsUp account a year later.
- The language and context of the WhatsApp message is anomalous and doesn’t match the pattern of HB’s business solicitation or writing style. The analysis of HB’s business communications shows that he doesn’t extort money from business partners under the threat of retaliation or threatens to use his father as an enforcer directly.
- The WattsUp message contains similar text (regular and bold font variations of content). This appears to have been done for dramatic effect to re-emphasize the threat.
- Hunter was aware of the risk of interception and conducted sensitive negotiations (such as the one alleged in the WattsUp message) face to face or over the phone. There is no other similar evidence of such conduct in any of his extensive body of communications.
- Neither the HB laptop nor the phone backup found on the laptop has this message (the phone backup on the laptop does have HB’s WattsUp messages).
- The WhatsApp app for Mac desktops (the non-browser version) wasn’t available in 2017.
- The UI of the message doesn’t match the UI of the WattsUp used by HB on his cell phone/iPad.
- The image of the WattsUp message is a screenshot; the only way to obtain such a screenshot would have been through direct access to the device (i.e., HB’s cell phone or iPad). The IRS WB claims that this message screenshot was collected as part of a search warrant. This is unlikely because LEA typically collects text messages directly from the service provider/carrier (in this case WattsUp). The form of the collection should have been text and metadata, not a screenshot.
- The WattsUp message has no provenance or chain of transmission and can’t be authenticated.

Hmm, interesting hypothesis, Larry.
This discredits any IRS WB testimony and it implies that HB is being setup or framed?
Somebody trying to put “The Big Guy” in the same room?
This does not, however, change the course of investigation as to money received, from China or Ukraine business, to the Biden family. I believe this was the primary scope of the IRS investigation. Declaration on tax filing and potential “pay to play” Op.
I was wondering when Larry was going to begin his real assignment.
Not quite sure what you mean? Hunter Biden is a degenerate criminal. You don’t have to lie or fabricate to prove that. Why this member of Congress is using material that can so easily be debunked makes me wonder if it is not a deliberate effort to discredit any investigation of Hunter.
^^^^^THIS^^^^^
So American intelligence goons create a message that looks bad for Hunter and leaks it so that a GOP dolt will push it out to the public. Then Dems say “See, all the accusations are partisan BS and misinformation”. Trouble is, it’ll probably work. Never forget the jury pool in DC is 93% democrat.
“So American intelligence goons create a message that looks bad for Hunter and leaks it so that a GOP dolt,
who also works for and does the bidding of the American Intelligence services and is absolutely friends with the Bidens and all the other worst acting people in the federal government for they all work together secretly or not in this wickedness going on,
will push it out to the public.”
Fixed that for you sir.
So basically they did a Dan Rather, salt one questionabe document in the pile to discredit the whole pile.
This would probably fool a professional journalist, but no one without his head in his ass.
I still remember all of the “Rather Biased” bumper stickers way back in the day LOL.
It’s called salting a mine, a data mine – in this case with an arsenic salt.
“PURPORTING” through porting; porting through purporting?

so they have started to scratch out one another’s eyes?
1. I believe the ‘leak’ is a forgery.
2. I believe that it was conceived as a win-win: either it helps the Dems to get rid of Biden without “dirtying their hands,” by having the Republicans do it for them,
or, if exposed as a forgery, it helps to portray the Reps as distributors of misinformation.

Welcome to the Internet folks !
This proves that our glorious Supreme Leader his excellency PRES Biden is innocent. And here in Texas I bought Yakima cherries for $1.99 a pound which shows our glorious Leader has beaten inflation. PRES Biden for life in 2024!
Oh, darn. I had hoped that he’d only be found guilty of corruption and spared the noose and not guilty of pure, unadulterated stupidity in higher office which is a clear hanging offence.
Of course we are talking about a genuine crack and meth head partnered with a guy in deep dementia.
The logic of “even he wouldn’t be that stupid” might not apply in this case.
Remember how that laptop came to be in the public domain, the crackhead forgot what he did with it
I’m not a real psychologist. I’m just playing one for Larry’s audience.
HB IMO, being the non-preferred no. 2 son while no. 1 son was alive, developed an uncontrollable subconscious desire to become the quintessential black sheep; destroy his father, his family and himself – and maybe the planet along the way.
I’d say he’s off to a jolly good start. Could euthanasia be an option here?
You might be right – John Solomon dialed up the number for the burner phone Hunter supplied Joe, and Joe answered! that was last week, and after it was widely circulated that Hunter gave the phone to pop.
These guys are stupid, as well as crooked. That’s why it takes so much obvious effort to cover for them. The sad part is the “establishment” seems willing to do anything, no matter how obvious, to protect them.
Look at Hunter – videos of himself smoking crack and talking about his crooked deals to prostitutes. Or sex with his niece, etc., and posting the disgusting pics. Sick people for sure, obviously corrupt, and stupid as well, but, I guess necessary to keep Trump out of office. Twisted logic to say the least.
They are that stupid, and demonstrably so, and that tosses a bit of cold water on the idea of a forgery. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t, but if not, it’s not because either Hunter or Joe aren’t stupid enough.
I haven’t met many who actually thinks John Solomon is telling the truth. Good for you son!
You make an obvious point that this author does not want to admit. Pretty sure a crack and sex addict will be making other poor decisions.
They’ve sought to poison the poisoned tree (laptop) and recycle its rotten fruit into useful compost. Never underestimate the cleverness of those for whom deception is a career and the naiveté of those who are their bread and butter.
Larry, think your website been hacked.
Oh yeah, Hunted Bidette’s paid liar-yer says ‘my client is innnno-cent.’ Suure!
Serious BS! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, Jake.
Prove it! Prove it! Prove it!
This friend of yours, is he related to WAPO Annie? You Know, the one who is married to Radek? Oh, did the article about Dickie Hass steppin’ down mention he’s the guy Biden slaps on the knee to brag about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired? Has not the Culinary Institute of America always been allowed to continue with their technique Omission by A Thousand Cuts?:(
Call me obtuse but that went way over my shallow head.

The name YAACOV APELBAUM (A satanic JEW) makes the “analysis” suspicious.
The analysis includes argument-elements that clash with the realities of Hunter Biden.
Example. The JEW APELBAUM wrote: “It is doubtful that he would have retained such a damaging message or the WattsUp account on a working device a year later.”
Hunter Biden uses crack cocaine and other mind-altering and judgment-impairing drugs. He displays radically irrational, and liability-threatening behavior. Hence, one must find his retaining “such a damaging message” normal Hunter Biden conduct.
Another example. The JEW APELBAUM wrote: “Hunter was aware of the risk of monitoring and interception and conducted sensitive negotiations (such as the one in the WattsUp message) face to face or over the phone. There is no other similar evidence in any of his extensive body of communications.”
The first quoted assertion Hunter was aware of the risk….”) is belied by Hunter Biden’s common behavior, e.g., photographing his driving at 172 mph on a U.S. road and photographing his driving while smoking crack cocaine. See also this: https://nypost.com/2023/07/02/hunter-biden-filmed-himself-smoking-crack-behind-the-wheel/
The second quoted sentence (“There is no other siimilar avidence ….”) is belied by, e.g., Hunter’s infamous laptop and other events of Hunter’s behavior. (See also above.)
I should adore witnessing a an unbiased and non JEW (non-Zionist/non-Talmudist/non-Child sacrificer/ritualistic murder) IT expert’s criticism of APELBAUM’s technical argument-elements. I should not be amazed if such expert proved APELBAUM’s technical argument-elements pure toxic dross.
I find strange Larry Johnson’s apparently crediting the JEW APELBAUM’s argument.
View the other links Aplebaum presents. He’s not going easy on the perv, by any means. Just the opposite.
APELBAUM’s argument is impeached by various evidence items that enhance the probability that the WhatsApp message is authentic. E.g., these:

Because I know and respect Yaacov. He does not make up shit. He does not lie. He presents hard data. Deal with that.
I’ll give you that but I’m not so sure he hasn’t put Russia on his hit list as well. An excerpt from ‘From Russia with Love’.
“On October 1, 2018, Hunter participated in an orgy in LA. Present at the rented villa were several Russian sex workers; at least one of them had what appears to be a sex slave branding tattoo. There were also several Russian males at the house that had what appears to be Russian organized crime tattoos. One female who transported the guests and stayed in the house was affiliated with a US defense contractor that develops C4I systems for the DoD.
Keeping all of this in mind, when people like John Brannon, Leon Panetta, Jim Clapper, and Mike Hayden signed a letter stating that the Hunter laptop is a Russian influence operation, they really misspoke. What they should have said was that the Russians have successfully evaded US counter intelligence for several years while compromising the Biden family and were now in a position to control Joe Biden if he got elected.”
He states this as ‘fact’. That HB was compromised and JB now could be controlled by Russia. Granted, HB’s antics alone are enough to bar JB from any gov’t. office but the Russian puppet angle didn’t work out too well, did it? I’d say 10:1 odds it would be Ukrainian over Russian and 5:1 for Chinese. Besides, wasn’t it Clinton that opened the doors to ‘Eurasian’ mafia scum, no questions asked, to the US in the first place? Sort of like a Mariel boat lift thing. And BTW, how do we know they were Russian, not Ukrainian or Georgian or Balt or Jewish mafia? They’re all called Russian over here. I remember the damage done during the 90’s. Cleverest con men to ever hit our shores. Must have been a magnetic attraction for HB.
That said, the damage our home grown family den of grifters have done to the country never ceases to make one gag, and they’re not finished yet. I’ll stop short at the mention of any other of our ‘hallowed leaders’, before I overload.
He deleted them I’ll just bet for one simple reason: You’re annoying as hell, not to mention a race baiter. Why hang out here? You’d be far more comfortable on some bitchute venue.
Now, watch – while he comes back with some comment about my kissing up to the teach. That’s his speed.
Yes. You’re right. He’s a racist troll and I won’t allow that crap here.
R-dog, that was my first thought reading the title of this article.
(((Yaacov Apelbaum))) is Obviously one of those pesky Amish Terrorists, and the chances of this being kosher disinfo are pretty well a Certainty.
Of Course “larry c. johnson”, the Spook, isn’t going to publish this Comment, but he will read it anyway…
Read it and laugh, at your stupidity no doubt.
Say, “Yes!”
Say, “Yes!”
Say, “Yes!”
To the IRS
Applebaum has done some pretty good sleuthing of open source information. Doubters might check out his website (link above). His work on the FusionGPS crew that effected much of the fake Russin collusion malarky is pretty impressive. YMMV.
That Fusion crew is a real piece of work. They give Integrity Initiative a real run for their money.
— “HB never demanded money from business partners under the threat of retaliation or referenced his father directly. ” — That seems nearly impossible to prove, Mr. Applebomb.
— WattsUp or WhatsApp – pick a fighter.
— “In August 2020, we got the results back from an iCloud search warrant,” Shapley said. “Unlike the laptop, these came to the investigative team from a third-party record keeper and included a set of messages. The messages included material we clearly needed to follow up on.” ( https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/in-hunter-biden-case-a-whatsapp-smoking-gun/ar-AA1cWDkX) –> your iCloud account will have all the info from all of your Apple devices operating on the different Apple OSs that you choose to backup.
I am pretty sure these guys in Congress admitted that some of these are factually accurate but physically recreated for picture taking.
This article really does look like a snow job.
Hmmm..just to be clear there is no record whatsoever of this message apart from someone’s word. No physical evidence…no corroborating testimony…and now we have a fake whatsapp message put out by a congressman who is let’s say in Donnies pants. The Donnie who is under indictment and going to jail. And who do you think is doing the snowjob?
Interesting to be sure.
Everyone will or at least should, wait for the evidence to be revealed in a Public judicial process.
I realize that given the current Political environment that such a revelation or process is unlikely.
Then again, Mars might crash into Venus 😀
I’ve been reading through Apelbaum’s body of work via the links provided and all I can say is that this family is beyond even the limits I imagined as being hyper-dysfunctional. Pay special attention to the ‘Hunter Biden Texts’ for a unique view into their own psychiatric ward.
The only honest conclusion I can come to is that some people in a position to do something about it better own up to the very likely reality that this president presents a bona fide national security threat and given the turbulent times we find ourselves in, a worldwide security threat at that. God help us all.
I live a long way from la-la Land.
The Bidets are clearly as bent as Clintone six dollar notes.
Yake Applebalm is just another conspiracy theorist.
Swamp provided refutations are just that.
Quick men – throw up a smoke screen, look for a tiny irrelevant detail and blow it up out of all proportion, then . . . then
Crack head carrying guns, ACTUALLY visiting the likes of China, fingers in the biolabs in Ukr, and so on and gets away scot free. Such a nice young man said mother.
And he is judged like you and me (!) and sentenced to flogging with a wet lettuce leaf – same as you or me. Right.
Mr. Larry Johnson, it is a fact, you are a rare soul, A very Decent Gentleman.
More is a pity you seem beguiled by the wolf in sheep attire.
