What about these Hunter Biden emails?

[Gene2memE]

Welll, so much for that theory.....
Further, Fox News has learned that the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Ratcliffe, on Monday, said that Hunter Biden’s laptop and the emails on it “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign," despite claims from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

“Let me be clear: the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that," Ratcliffe said. "And we have shared no intelligence with Adam Schiff, or any member of Congress.”

Ratcliffe went on to say that it is “simply not true.”

Because its not a Russian disinformation campaign, does that mean its not a disinformation campaign from other sources?

Oh, well, if one of Donald's people says so, it must be true. Certainly there's no reason for him to be less than forthright about the situation, and Donald's administration has a stellar record of honesty.

We might be able to say the same about Joe.....

The following is how I might reach my conclusions.

I can picture the scenario being something like the following. Hunter's laptops get damaged. No big deal, after all, he should have plenty of money to just buy a new one, problem solved. But what if he has personal things on those laptops that he failed to make any back up copies for? Maybe he has some sex videos that he made that he likes to revisit at times, etc.

So he then takes the laptops in for repair, thinking nothing about any possible consequences in case there are some things found on the hard drives that could get him into a lot of trouble. In the meantime, after he has taken the laptops in for repairs, he then starts discussing this with one of his nerdy friends. The first thing his friend asks him, "there was nothing inappropriate stored on that hard drive, right?" "Because you do know, that in order for the repair shop to fix your laptop, they will have access to everything on your hard drive, meaning they can see everything you have stored on it, assuming the hard drive and it's contents are salvageable".

Hunter doesn't answer out loud but immediately goes into answering this in his head. What is this dude talking about? Of course there is all kinds of inappropriate stuff stored on those hard drives, why would I want it repaired to begin with? For one reason, because I didn't make back up copies of some of this stuff, yet it never crossed my mind at the time, that the repair shop would actually need to look at the content stored on it in order to try and fix it.

So times passes, one of the hard drives is salvageable, and that the repair shop attempts to make contact with Hunter to let him know he can come and pick this up. Hunter ignores all of these attempted contacts of him by this shop owner, because now Hunter is thinking---what if this is a set up, and that when I go to retrieve the hard drive, the FBI will be waiting there to take me away in cuffs? Maybe I should just ignore this altogether, and this problem will just go away. Maybe we can just blame it on the Russians, problem solved.

Nice story ...

So why doesn't Biden just say it is not my son's computer? Why do they make it so extremely hard just to get any basic answer?

Starves an already incredulous story of needed oxygen ...

Not really ...

Being a lobbyist for a foreign company isn't illegal... unless you are unregistered as such.
Lobbyist make a ton of money.

Lying about your son being an unregistered lobbyist under oath is another crime.

Starves an already incredulous story of needed oxygen ...

I suppose THE PEOPLE will decide if the story is incredulous not Biden nor his campaign.

THE PEOPLE may conclude they're trying to put a bag over their head and not be transparent about anything. We'll see soon enough.

Maybe, but how about Obama? Her emails? Benghazi? Pick an excuse, they're all just as good for avoiding the obvious pattern of dishonesty from this administration.

Giuliani: Even if Hunter Laptop Story ‘Isn’t Accurate,’ Americans ‘Are Entitled to Know It’

."They’ve set up an Iron Curtain so you can’t get out the New York Post story which I happened to know is 100 percent accurate,” Giuliani declared. “But even if it isn’t accurate, the American people are entitled to know it.”

What do you think ? If the story is completely twaddle, do Americans have the right to know?

Yes. Americans have the right to know if the story is complete twaddle.

 

[rambot]

Yes. Americans have the right to know if the story is complete twaddle.

Oops. That's not quite right.

Are they entitled to know twaddle.?...not whether or not it's twaddle

Example; Are Americans entitled to know that Trump eats babies? I mean Trump does NOT eat babies but are Americans entitled to know that he does?

Here is the issue I run up against. Are they entitled to know it? Yes, if someone puts it out. Will many of them fall for he twaddle? Again yes. This is why we need an educated populace but our education system is failing us. The problem with self governance is too few are willing to put in the hard work it requires.

Hunter Biden business partner calls email 'genuine,' says Hunter sought dad's advice on deals

"The reference to 'the Big Guy' in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden," Bobulinski said in a statement to Fox News.

"I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line," Bobulinski said.

Uh-oh Joe......

Nope. You know what the penalty for nepotism is? The person does not get paid. Neither Ivanka nor Trump Jr. get paid for any of their governmental work.
