      The laptop was “real” in the sense that it was a real laptop and belonged to him, but it changed hands a bunch of times between Russian assets and parties with clear intent and motives before being “released,” and there’s no way in hell to prove it wasn’t grossly tampered with, so it almost definitely was. It was a manufactured propaganda tool by Russia/Trump at a time when the public was being given 400 pages of damning evidence that Trump’s campaign was collaborating with Russian assets.

        Yup, Hunter had a personal laptop, Russian agents got it an dropped it off at a repair shop they know would then “publish” the info.

        It’s all the dumbest shit, Hunter has issues, whatever, he isn’t involved in Biden presidency at all unlike Trump’s kids. And then they go and blow it into some massive countrywide issue, while the Trump family openly accepts bribes and planes in front of everybody.

        The whole cause of the hunter Biden investigation was for an alleged 10 million dollar bribe that a Russian agent tipped off with zero evidence. Meanwhile billion dollar Saudi deals, and 400 million dollar planes are being exchanged and nobody bat’s an eye.

        The best part is the only thing the laptop proved is that hunter has a massive dong and has naked drug fueled pool parties with smoking hot babes. It’s unthinkable that Republicans didn’t demand he be president.

      That quote makes me laugh. At face value, it says that an FBI agent confirmed someone did indeed have an authentic laptop.

          Everyone knew Hunter was a fuck up. The political gotcha was that supposedly it involved the Big Guy. Except it didn’t in anything but Hunters attempt to make himself seem important.

            There might have been exaggerations about what was on Hunters laptop, but the full denial of it existing by the establishment media was definitely

            People really need to get off the notion the CNN won’t lie like Fox News. They both lie. A lot.

              No one denied it existed, they denied that it mattered, or was a trusted source of anything.

                The previously made claims that it was all Russian disinformation have been walked back in 2020. The Burisma emails showing Biden had contact with his sons business partners was very sketchy too. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/records-released-house-republicans-show-joe-biden-repeatedly-emailed-h-rcna130682

                Most damning of all is of course Biden saying he would never pardon his own son, the liberal media touting it as a hero move, followed by… Biden pardoning his own son.

                  Quick run back the goal posts!

                  No one gives a shit about the laptop because it’s tainted, and there’s sworn testimony that the guy in the White House right now is a pedophile, adjudicated rapist, and a felon.

                    Yeah can’t disagree with that. The only reason I responded to it is because unlike the Epstein list they didn’t just dream up the laptop (though they did exaggerate stuff) and I wouldn’t compare the two.
