    The bizarre provenance of the emails cited in the Post article should also give journalists pause -- it involves the unnamed “shop owner” of a Delaware computer repair store who claims that someone brought a “water-damaged MacBook Pro” into the shop in April 2019, never came to pick it up, and ignored all entreaties to come get it. (It is unclear from the article whether the Post spoke directly to the “shop owner” or learned this secondhand from, say, Giuliani.).

    The “shop owner” supposedly “couldn’t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden” but the story also includes what appears to be a photo of a receipt for the work made out to Hunter Biden. The “shop owner” claims to have reviewed the laptop’s contents, copied them (possibly illegally), alerted the FBI and gave them the laptop, and provided the copy to a Giuliani associate.

    So how does he not know who to contact if he has a receipt?

    A story doesn't need to be true to have the desired effect. Those outraged today will already be on tomorrows outrage by the time this turns out to be nothing. Just like the collusion, obstruction thing. He is getting the Trump treatment.

    This conspiracy theory is as if cognitive dissonance meet Dunning–Kruger

    This will likely be found to be some hacked information that is true mixed with a ton of false information, hopefully the subsequent people that are peddling it serve time.

    Republican politicians had 4 years to come up with something that was as effective as Hillary’s emails so they went with emails again... I guess no one ever said they were inventive, just corrupt.

    None of it makes any sense. Rudy claimed hunter was drunk, but the blind computer guy couldn’t even say who it was...

    Except that most of trumps items are true where this will fizzle just like the last dozen or so Republican conspiracies

    You are incorrect. Most were nothing burgers. If there was something substantial, he would have been removed from office already. Your side of the same ugly coin is no better.

    Not sure how the blind man knew to give the laptop to Giuliani.

    Don't matter what doesn't make sense, the fact that the the pictures and the emails do not lie does.

    Obviously, it makes "No Sense".

    That is why 3/4 of America isn't even paying attention to it.

    Maybe, the phone number is wrong or disconnected? Who knows. Your version of events makes does not make sense either. All we have is ideas until more evidence is gleamed. I can't wait til they release the rest of the emails from Hunter and his associates who are now coming forth corroborating those emails.

    It has a phone number AND email on it

    And it SAYS Hunter Biden

    Why would the idiot Rudy hired have to identify the laptop from a Beau Biden sticker on it?

    The biden campaign acknowledged he "may have" met with them. That is alone smooths out a lot of the wrinkles in the reporting.

    ”Nothing burgers” don’t normally result with people in prison — I have a feeling many items will be revised once trump can no longer claim executive privilege or immunity.

    Hey, don't laugh.

    This is serious bidness.

    The future of The Republic and World Humanity is at stake.

    Biden will be forced to withdraw and by the end of the debate Joe will have withdrawn and Hunter will he in cuffs (facing the death penalty).

    This is Serious Bidness.:salute:

    They said Biden may have had an informal meeting, the same kind he has with people in stores or businesses he visits. They do not keep a log of everyone he meets on a day to day basis.

    The "truth" or lack thereof of all of this is irrelevant.

    Trump, the Trump White House, the DoJ, NSA, DHS, and HHS among others have become so contaminated that nothing they say is believed beyond that tiny percentage of people called "Trump Supporters."

    So there's no proof that any meeting took place.

    Got it

    Where's all the set up e-mails? Ya know like Don Jr telling the go between to the Russians "If it's what you say it is I love it"

    He had a secret meeting that they concealed from the WH logs. That explains how innocent that was alright.

    After it goes unclaimed for 90 days it belongs to the shop. Why did Biden's lawyer try to get it back? Have the Bidens publicly stated it is not Hunter's laptop and the emails are fake yet?

    What don't you believe it true here? The FBI has said it is Biden's, he hasn't denied it is his, other people on the email chains have confirmed they are real and the "the big guy" is Joe Biden. Have the Bidens stated the emails are fake?
