On the Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters Primetime, host Jesse Watters and journalist Glenn Greenwald ripped into the leftist media’s disgusting and irresponsible cover-up of Hunter Biden’s laptop and all of his illegal and shady business practices during the 2020 presidential election in order to get Joe Biden elected President.
“If they get shellacked in the midterms and Biden refuses to announce that he’s not running again, are we going to see a ton of reporting on these suspicious activity reports, a ton of reporting on the laptop in order to kind of like give Biden a hint it's time to go buddy or else we’re gonna drop the hammer?” Watters asked referring to yet another revelation in the Hunter Biden scandal in which over 150 financial transactions from the Biden family were flagged as suspicious and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen refuses to release them.
Greenwald responded that “the media deploys information to conceal it or divulge it for the interest of their sources inside the democratic party and the U.S. Security state and I just want to emphasize because I can't talk about the Hunter Biden situation without doing so.”
He also added that “this was the topic of the single biggest media fraud in the last, I think at least decade, which is right before the election. The CIA spread to the media which repeated it and then big tech censored on the basis of it the lie that all these documents were Russian disinformation.”
Greenwald wasn’t done, he continued tearing into the leftist media:
Biden wins the election because they suppressed that story. Then all of a sudden, they want to start doing reporting on Biden as he’s getting weak and all of these documents start emerging in The Washington Post and The New York Times come out and say oh now we’re able to confirm their authenticity. So what you see is cynical as your suggestion might be, that the media has already been playing these kinds of very extreme games with exactly this case for those kinds of motives.
Watters noted that the scandals swarming Hunter Biden are so big now that he wondered whether they are now too big for the leftist media and the Biden administration to contain:
Federal prosecutors have to know what they are dealing with. They have 150 suspicious activity transactions. You have a laptop, it's a gold mine. You have diamonds being bribed. You have 6 million from the Chinese. The guy’s under a FISA surveillance wire that gets indicted and arrested. I mean and they drag Joe across the finish line. Cover it up. This thing is so big involving silicon valley, the FBI, the CIA, big media, how can you continue to cover this thing up. Do you think they’re gonna get away with it?
Greenwald noted that “had this only been about corruption by Hunter Biden, it would be an embarrassing scandal.” But it wouldn’t have hurt Joe Biden, but because “in many of these transactions there was an anticipation that Joe Biden himself would be involved” Greenwald said, “we're clearly talking about protecting Joe Biden as well and at this point at the very least, Jesse, we should have an independent prosecutor who’s not beholden to the chain of command that ends with Joe Biden to make decisions not just about Hunter Biden but also about the President himself.”

FNC’s Jesse Watters Primetime
July 7, 2022
7:27:47 p.m. EasternJESSE WATTERS: If they get shellacked in the midterms and Biden refuses to announce that he’s not running again, are we going to see a ton of reporting on these suspicious activity reports, a ton of reporting on the laptop in order to kind of like give Biden a hint it's time to go buddy or else we’re gonna drop the hammer?
GLENN GREENWALD: I mean, it's hard to say for sure. But what we know obviously is that the media deploys information to conceal it or divulge it for the interest of their sources inside the democratic party and the U.S. Security state and I just want to emphasize because I can't talk about the Hunter Biden situation without doing so, that this was the topic of the single biggest media fraud in the last, I think at least decade, which is right before the election. The CIA spread to the media which repeated it and then big tech censored on the basis of it the lie that all these documents were Russian disinformation.
Biden wins the election because they suppressed that story. Then all of a sudden, they want to start doing reporting on Biden as he’s getting weak and all of these documents start emerging in The Washington Post and The New York Times come out and say oh now we’re able to confirm their authenticity. So what you see is cynical as your suggestion might be, that the media has already been playing these kinds of very extreme games with exactly this case for those kinds of motives.
WATTERS: Is it too big now? You have Yellen involved, the Treasury secretary. I mean come on, poor little Yellen is now involved in the cover-up. The CIA as you said was involved before the election. Federal prosecutors have to know what they are dealing with. They have 150 suspicious activity transactions. You have a laptop, it's a gold mine. You have diamonds being bribed. You have 6 million from the Chinese. The guy’s under a FISA surveillance wire that gets indicted and arrested. I mean and they drag Joe across the finish line. Cover it up. This thing is so big involving silicon valley, the FBI, the CIA, big media, how can you continue to cover this thing up. Do you think they’re gonna get away with it?
GREENWALD: I think what we have to remember whenever we talk about Hunter Biden is that had this only been about corruption by Hunter Biden, it would be an embarrassing scandal. It would be the kind of thing a lot of Presidents have had with members in their family doing sketchy and shady and corrupt things trading on their influence in order to self-enrich.
But in this case, there’s no question as we know from those documents that were lied about and claimed to be false when they were real that all along, at least in many of these transactions there was an anticipation that Joe Biden himself would be involved. So we're not just talking about protecting Hunter Biden. We're clearly talking about protecting Joe Biden as well and at this point at the very least, Jesse, we should have an independent prosecutor who’s not beholden to the chain of command that ends with Joe Biden to make decisions not just about Hunter Biden but also about the President himself.
