(Daily Mail) Now we know for certain: the diary, like the laptop, is real — and its contents are alarming.
So why isn’t the media all over this?
In 2019, Ashley Biden, the then 37-year-old daughter of President Biden and his wife Jill, wrote in her journal about showering with her father at an inappropriate age as well as her fears that, as a child, she was sexually abused.
Explosive stuff. Not that you would have heard about it, thanks to a near-complete, years-long media blackout.
After undergoing treatment in rehab, Ashley moved to a halfway house in Florida, where she left the diary under a mattress.
The diary, which also contained details of her drug use, was then found in 2020 by a Florida woman who stole it, leaked its contents online, and sold it for $40,000.
All that time, the Biden campaign let the left-wing media, of its own volition, cast aspersions on the diary’s authenticity, or dismiss it as a right-wing plant of dubious veracity, another Russia hoax. Just as with Hunter Biden‘s laptop.
Turns out both are all too real.
In 2019, Ashley Biden, the then 37-year-old daughter of President Biden and his wife Jill, wrote in her journal about showering with her father at an inappropriate age and her fears that, as a child, she was sexually abused. (Pictured: Ashley with her father in 1987).
Explosive stuff. Not that you would have heard about it, thanks to a near-complete, years-long media blackout. (Pictured: In 2016).
For the first time, Ashley herself has now confirmed – in a court document made public last month – that the diary is indeed authentic.
Its contents demand attention, concern and hard questions for this White House.
‘Hyper-sexualized @ a young age,’ Ashley writes in a July 2019 entry. ‘What is this due to? Was I molested. I think so —’
Note the period instead of a question mark. One wonders if there wasn’t really a doubt in Ashley’s mind.
She continues: ‘I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma… I remember somewhat being sexualized with [her first cousin] Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate); being turned on when I wasn’t suppose [sic] to be.’
Showers with my dad.
Ashley also wrote, in the same diary, that she was in treatment for ‘sexual trauma’.
Let’s pause here to state the obvious: If this were the diary entry of a Trump daughter, the media would be at DEFCON 1. This would be front-page news, the sole focus of special Rachel Maddow furrowed-brow editions, MSNBC and CNN primetime investigations, the incessant drumbeat of every Sunday show and op-ed from now until election day, the left-wing press demanding answers.
But rather than do its job without fear or favor, the vast majority of the media — which has adjudged Donald Trump as everything from a racist to a rapist, and never fails to regurgitate accusations, no matter how old or inconsistent — has conveniently ignored similar allegations against Joe Biden (more on those later).
Last month, the New York Times reported that the woman who stole Ashley’s diary was sentenced to time in prison.
Did the Times cover what was actually in the diary? Not one bit. Not even a hint of its incendiary contents.
Instead, they led with the thief’s ‘brazen scheme to steal the diary of President Biden’s daughter and sell it to a right-wing group in the hope of disrupting the 2020 election’.
Linked within this story was a letter written by Ashley, who in fairness has never asserted the diary was a fake (unlike Hunter and his laptop).
Her letter, dated April 8 and addressed to the trial judge, confirms the diary’s legitimacy.
‘My personal private journal,’ she writes, ‘was stolen and sold for profit… I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online.’
The theft is indeed terrible. But so, too, is what Ashley’s diary entries might imply.
In one passage, she writes that her childhood ‘hyper-sexualization’ extended to ‘beating my vagina due to overhearing parents having sex’.
For the first time, Ashley herself has now confirmed – in a court document made public last month – that the diary is indeed authentic. Its contents demand attention, concern and hard questions for this White House. (Pictured: In 1987)
