  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The information that you seek is in the video. If you watch it again; I have confidence that you can comprehend it.
How’s about a timestamp for when I should start to pay attention?

- The FBI gave the repair place a receipt for the laptop
- The repair place shows a receipt signed by Hunter for the laptop
- Multiple private pictures of Hunter smoking drugs - semi conscious, and with woman of ill repute have been shown from the laptop
- Multiple emails from Hunter's private server have been produced and shown from the laptop
- Hunter's former business partner came forward authenticating the emails from the laptop
- Copies of the hard drive from the laptop have been entered into congressional office
- The NYTimes has verified the laptop's existence and authenticated some of the material from the laptop
- Hunter has NEVER ONCE denied the existence of or authenticity of the laptop
- Even Adam Schiff has spoken about the existence of the laptop

And yet - some question it's existence. Remarkable
That's quite a comprehensive collection of valuable information concerning the authenticity of the HD.

However the question was regarding Grassley's statement: "In the end it was the Democrats who introduced Russian disinformation, from a Russian agent, into the investigative record."

He covers the specifics in the video.

leader Schumer Senator Warner then
2:52
speaker Pelosi and then chairman Schiff
2:55
sent a letter with a classified
2:58
attachment to the FBI
3:01
that letter expressed a purported belief
3:04
that Congress was the subject of a
3:07
foreign disinformation campaign
3:11
the latter was targeted at the Johnson
3:13
Grassley investigation
3:16
however
3:18
the classified attachment included
3:21
unclassified element that attempted and
3:26
failed to tie our work to a Russian
3:29
agent named Andre derkash
3:33
unsurprisingly those unclassified
3:36
elements were leaked to the press to
3:40
support a false campaign accusing
3:43
Senator Johnson of me of relying on
3:46
material from a Russian agent and thus
3:49
advancing Russian disinformation
3:53
of course it was pure nonsense that the
3:58
irresponsible media portrayed this all
4:01
as the truth
4:04
guess what then
4:06
chairman Chef claimed without any
4:08
evidence whatsoever that our oversight
4:11
work was rooted in Russian
4:13
disinformation
4:15
of course you know he conveniently left
4:18
out that our oversight work was actually
4:21
rooted in official U.S government and
4:25
Obama administration records
4:28
then guess what Senator Blumenthal also
4:31
wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post
4:34
accusing our investigation of quote
4:37
perpetuating Russian disinformation in
4:41
the U.S Senate end of Cold and then
4:44
guess what minority leader Schumer and
4:47
then ranking member Wyden tried to offer
4:50
a resolution in the Senate disparaging
4:54
our Biden investigation
4:56
they in a sense were basically calling
4:59
us Russian Stooges
5:02
pretty simple
5:04
that violated Senate rules in their

efforts and of course were appropriately
5:09
shut down
5:11
on July the 16th 2020 mere days after
5:15
the July 13th letter then ranking member
5:19

5:22
to me and Senator Johnson asking for a
5:26

5:33
and the ranking member staff had already
5:36
now remember we had already received a
5:39
briefing
5:40
March of 2020 that put the issue to rest
5:45
so why another briefing the point being
5:49
there was no real purpose for another
5:52
briefing let alone a member level
5:54
briefing other than to further undermine
5:58
our investigation
6:00
some of our Democratic colleagues
6:02
weren't interested in anything but using
6:05

investigation
6:09
but at these at these Democrats
6:13

6:14
the FBI caved
6:17
in August 2020
6:19
Senator Johnson and I had that Infamous
6:22
briefing from the FBI that was needless
6:25
and then as we had feared the contents
6:30
of that briefing were later leaked to
6:33
The Washington Post even though the FBI
6:36
had promised us confidentiality
6:40
that leak outrageously and inaccurately
6:44
connected that FBI briefing to our

investigation in another effort to
6:51

the FBI's dubious briefing did the
7:16
bureau set up two GOP Senators at the

7:23
simply put the briefing was unnecessary

So the charge/thread is about how Democrats had asserted that the RHB laptop might have been “Russian disinformation” but the actual “Russian disinformation” was that the laptop was “Russian disinformation”?

No wonder I am conflused.

I totally agree that FBI has a laptop.

Maybe it would help if you heard it from Grassley himself, instead of reading the transcript.

Strange, I give a reply to Post #60 and you tell me to read it because I might find it informative
I totally accept that there is a laptop and there are some verified emails by Hunter Biden.
But if people tell me the laptop has magical properties then my response is that the laptop does not exist.

Where is your evidence to support this strawman rebuttal?
I served on a grand jury. That's just not how they work.

And what are you talking about "strawman"?? In what way is this a strawman? I simply corrected a misconception you have about how grand juries work.

So now you proclaim that all grand juries work in the same manner? Where is your evidence?

And what are you talking about "strawman"??

Here is what I said:

I'm pretty sure that they can call any witnesses that they wish, and ask any questions that they wish, so long as it is relevant to the case.

Here is what you said:

they can't subpoena just anyone they want.

That's not what I said.

I have first hand experience of how a grand jury works. Maybe it's possible they might be slightly different, but I presume they are pretty much the same across the country. So, it seems to me that you could just look up the laws concerning grand juries where ever this one was empaneled and prove me wrong. I'm betting you're not going to do that though.

OK, so you have a hunch. I have a hunch too. I already presented my hunch. I didn't state my hunch as though it was a fact as you seemed to do. I have another hunch too. I have a hunch that my hunch is more accurate than your hunch.

BTW, I looked up the law before I presented my hunch, just to make sure that my memory hadn't failed me. I was studying the power of grand juries a couple of decades ago; and I wanted to get a pulse on whether my memory served me well.

You are free to look up the law to discredit my hunch if you wish; but your hunch doesn't trump my hunch.

:sigh: Grand Juries do not "call witnesses." Better?
Although a grand jury may have the right to subpoena and to have persons and documents called before it, this is almost always limited to evidence and witnesses presented by a prosecutor.


Being a grand juror is probably the most powerful way that the average American can make his voice heard.

The power of the grand jury has been turned upside down; and it would do America justice if anyone who serves on one, studies what powers they really do have, and to exert those powers for good.

"Despite the vast power of grand juries, there is little in the way of judicial or legislative response designed to impose some supervisory restrictions on them.12"


If you don't exercise your rights, you'll lose them.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, and revealed that Blinken was "the impetus" of the public statement signed in October 2020 that implied the laptop belonging to Hunter Biden was disinformation.

- The FBI gave the repair place a receipt for the laptop
Link, please.
- The repair place shows a receipt signed by Hunter for the laptop
Link, please.
- Multiple private pictures of Hunter smoking drugs - semi conscious, and with woman of ill repute have been shown from the laptop
Many photos of him have been faked.
- Multiple emails from Hunter's private server have been produced and shown from the laptop
Many emails have been faked.
- Hunter's former business partner came forward authenticating the emails from the laptop
Link, please.
- Copies of the hard drive from the laptop have been entered into congressional office
Which office?
- The NYTimes has verified the laptop's existence and authenticated some of the material from the laptop
The NYT doesn't have the authority to authenticate it.
- Hunter has NEVER ONCE denied the existence of or authenticity of the laptop
Nor has he confirmed its existence.
- Even Adam Schiff has spoken about the existence of the laptop
Schiff doesn't have the authority to authenticate it.
And yet - some question it's existence. Remarkable
I've yet to see a photo of it, or any other conclusive evidence of its existence. It's like the snipe that everyone talks about but nobody has actually seen.
