So, I looked to see just what they claim is on the copy of the hard drive they say was
from Hunter Biden's laptop.

I was wondering what changed since we heard this story a couple years ago when the NY Post put it out.

Evidently the Washington Post authenticated emails on the copy of the HD they received. I don't remember doubting they had real copies of his emails, or that he had dealings in China that might be shady. It was the whole laptop story that stunk to high heaven. They aren't telling us the truth about how they got that.

One thing is Hunter and his uncle controlled entities that were paid a few million by a Chinese energy company. I suppose they'd like everyone to think Hunter and his uncle divvied all that up, but it doesn't even mean they made any money for sure. They probably did, but I don't see where they say what the entities did. It could be legit, and Hunter and his uncle might have made a reasonable profit.

That's just what I got from watching what FOX "News" and a couple other right-wing sources have told their viewers. So what? Hunter isn't in the administration and I doubt democrats will follow the republican playbook and run Hunter as our presidential nominee in a few years, like they did with George H.W. Bushes boy. He had a fake job with Harken Energy if you remember.

1. Today

Morning Joe resurrected Dan Abrams to tell us all, breathlessly, the old story of the laptop. Both Dan and his story have seen better days.

2. For all their new-found political "woke-ness," Morning Joe easily slides back into politics as usual

... he can't help himself. It's the RETHUGLICAN in him. Listen long enough, and he'll sing you another chorus of the "Bad Bill Clinton Blues," and wistfully long for Raygun*s City on a Hill.

     Joe Biden has a greater chance of being indicted than Donald Trump. Hunter Biden is almost certainly going to be indicted.

     Why is this happening? As Tucker Carlson said, the pack of Democrat dogs is culling Biden, POTUS or not.

     Don't drop the soap, Hunter.

Can you say, "Unsuccessful attempt at diversion"?

IRL, Hunter abandoned the laptop, because dopers forget @#$%, especially when the $$ they spread like manure is coming in like a flood. The repair shop dude got tired of holding the abandoned laptop (and probably of not being paid for his work), so he looked at its contents. When he saw whose laptop it was (I don't think he knew) and some of its contents, he knew news of it needed to get out. So he took it to the NYP (and possibly other "news" outlets). IOW, however much DU-grade Progs and Dems hate the contents being revealed, there was nothing illegal or shady in how the contents became public.

As for the WashPost's and NYT's affirmation of the contents being genuine, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... . The NYP revelation was published in October 2020. It is now 2022. For 16 or 17 months the NYT, WashPost, CNN, and the rest of the MSM wrote off the story as "Russian Propaganda" (how many DU-threads parroted this lie?), even though they had ample reason to believe it to very likely be true. They did this because it threatened Biden's Presidential Campaign, and there was a Bogey-Trump to defeat.

How significant is it that Hunter didn't file papers that he was a paid lobbyist for two or more foreign companies? Ask Paul Manafort about that.

How significant is it that "The Big Guy" who was supposed to get a 10% cut was VP Biden? Can you say Pay to Play?

How significant is it that Hunter's laptop had email encryption keys to several DoD email addresses? I'll bet a fourth-rate hacker's apprentice could explain the enormity of that potential security risk!

As much as that should happen, it's still LIEden's DOJ. And I cannot imagine Dems who aren't DU-grade loving the prospect of Kammie the Stupid and Inept replacing Joe, no matter how many symbol-boxes she checks off.

     Imagine how sad it is to be a DUmmy: you have a Biden avatar, you post every week about him being the greatest president of your lifetime, and so on, and meanwhile some Democrat power broker who'd step over your sister to rape your mother decides it's time for him to go to pasture. Pathetic.

I believe that as soon as a way can be found to disentangle Hunter's suspect activity from Daddy, Hunter will be taking the fall and doing some jail time.
