Flash forward three-and-a-half years, and the Justice Department serving under the president they helped elect with their lies about the mountain of evidence contained on his son's abandoned device used that very same laptop to convict the First Son for lying on a federal firearms form and possessing a gun while being an addict and user of crack cocaine.
