I mean so what if they have his laptop? Who cares? The question of whether the DOJ had Hunter's actual laptop was ambiguous until this week. The DOJ has now confirmed for the first time that they have Hunter's laptop. That's newsworthy. Having the laptop isn’t really newsworthy — it’s the contents of the laptop that could potentially be newsworthy. If something illegal is found on the laptop, then the next step is to determine who is responsible for it being there — Hunter Biden or someone else who had access to it.

And bad news for the DOJ, which is only further proving that it is no longer a politically impartial organization that can be trusted to apply the law equally regardless of political party. Owning a laptop is not illegal. Tell that to Hunter Biden. He's the one who pretended that he didn't know if the DOJ had his laptop or how the Delaware computer repair guy got it. He could've ended much of the speculation by confirming that the laptop and the contents belonged to him.

Owning a laptop is not illegal. The crimes didn't involve Hunter owning the laptop. The crimes involved the things Hunter used the laptop for, and recorded himself doing with the laptop.

And where are the charges for these alleged crimes? Ya'll have only had the laptop for...checks calendar...5 years now.

I've seen no evidence that indicates that Blinken or the intelligence community were operating in bad faith with the statement about the laptop. It was Russian misinformation was a lie and you know it.

That's the funniest thing about this. There's a video of Hunter arguing with a prostitute about how much crack he has. If ever there was an open and shut case it's Hunter Biden. But the clown car wants us to believe a 6 hour riot where no one (or at least almost no one) was armed was an insurrection. Even though no prosecutor thinks there's a case to be made. The whole Hunter Biden case is so clear cut and in your face, the fact that there hasn't been a prosecution is a clear case of political bias.

This would certainly explain why Hunter Biden acted the way he did. Right up until he sued the computer repair shop. www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-sues-computer-repairman-invasion-privacy-handling-of-laptop/What it doesn't explain is why the FBI didn't say anything to clear this up for so long. You know, unless the FBI was actively participating in a conspiracy to hide the true nature of the laptop from the country.

Laptop was found in October 2020, this lawsuit is from March 2023. That’s quite a passage of time during which Biden got hew lawyers who changed tactics. We don’t know what went on behind the scenes during this time either as his lawyers talked to the FBI/DOJ. I don’t know what FBI procedures are when commenting on evidence they have in active investigations. I don’t remember them giving frequent official updates on other high profile cases of this nature. You usually only find out when indictments are unsealed. Like the Bob Menendez case. A massive conspiracy seems the most likely explanation though. It always is these days.

It is long running DOJ practice not to comment on ongoing investigations except through indictments. It's standard operating procedure. No conspiracy needed.

Thanks to Trump's First Step Act he doesn't even see the inside of a jail cell for that.

While it’s true that the DOJ can’t comment on ongoing investigations, it doesn’t mean that Hunter and Joe Biden’s political team didn’t know the FBI had Hunter’s laptop. Hunter knew from day one that they had his laptop.
The only “conspiracy” here is the spin by Antony Blinken and the former intelligence officials who told the Press that the laptop and the NY Post article about it was a “Russian disinformation op”.

It's pretty standard practice from all of LE to not comment on ongoing investigations whenever possible. My initial comments when the Post story broke remain true: if you assume all the reporting is accurate it's still a nothingburger.

My initial comments when the Post story broke remain true: if you assume all the reporting is accurate it's still a nothingburger. That was my thought from the start too. The bigger story was how the Press and social media companies responded to the NY Post article. Unprecedented attempts to suppress an article in a newspaper. The coverup is often worse than the crime.

It's like talking to a brick wall.
Somehow a story that was in every major new outlet and talked about ad nauseum was some kind of cover up.
The truth remains the same. This was a dirty tricks campaign by Rudy and Steve Bannon and we know that the hard drive they were peddling had been tampered with.
Furthermore, beyond tax issues and a year's old gun violation, the FBI hasn't indicted Hunter on any crimes that could be connected to the president.

The Russian disinfo thing was nonsense. I don’t think they outright said it was Russian disinfo but they strongly implied it was and used their backgrounds to sell it. I can’t find the original thread but I’m pretty sure I posted that I didn’t buy the Russia stuff assumed the laptop was legit.

And a year or so ago we learned that Biden’s campaign organized the group of intel officials that created the letter. So it actually was a political conspiracy to suppress a news article during a Presidential campaign. I shared a link about it earlier in this thread.

Part of the statement released by the intel community.
If anyone has any evidence they issued their statement in bad faith bring it forward.
