    I'd like to see the letter Schumer sent myself before drawing any conclusions. Got a link to it?

    Without regard to question if Shumer sent or not sent a letter to FBI director – yesterday Biden was interviewed on CBS 60 minutes. I expected they will ask Biden if his son left computers in this store and why he didn’t took them back. Instead asking this question they let Biden to explain that all this is a Russian plot. I think I am giving up on 60 minutes.

    "The Justice Department’s longstanding policy against any public discussion of criminal investigations is based on the principle that no one under investigation by the department should be tainted by public discussion of the investigation unless and until formal criminal charges are filed.

    According to Rule 1-7.400 in the Department of Justice Manual, “DOJ generally will not confirm the existence of or otherwise comment about ongoing investigations.” The Rule, further states, “DOJ personnel shall not respond to questions about the existence of an ongoing investigation or comment on its nature or progress before charges are publicly filed.” (Given that several past investigations, including one by the DOJ’s own Inspector General, concluded that the Russia investigation was justified, there is no basis for applying the narrow exemption to this Rule that “the community needs to be reassured that the appropriate law enforcement agency is investigating a matter.”)"

    Though nothing is unbelievable in the error....sorry, era......of Trumpery, it is nonetheless shocking Trumpette's think it is acceptable for a sitting prez to abuse his power by demanding an investigation in to his opponent within weeks of the election.

    Umm...sorry but the FBI got the laptop from a computer repair guy. Trump had nothing to do with this investigation being opened. It was opened because of that laptop being delivered to them. Want to try and spin some more? Or are you going to ignore this fact?

    And if charges are brought against someone (including Rudy for falsifying evidence) those charges should be announced. Until then they should say nothing

    LOL... Rudy, "falsifying evidence" now is it? You folks are shameless in your defense of the indefensible. Joe sold his influence. Period. We have the evidence, and you folks are still going to support the guy who sold us out to China, Russia, and the Ukrainian puppets of Russia. Absolutely shameless.

    Rudy HAD the laptop for months. You can prove he didn’t screw with it?

    Just the Law Enforcement Today story.

    I do not doubt the letter exists, or that Little Schmucky was trying to pass down orders to Christopher Wray, who I believe does not NEED orders to impede the Trump administration...making the letter unnecessary. Like so much Schumer has done in his career.

    It is very simple.
    For people who love Trump it is obvious that Hunter’s computer contain valid information and Biden is a corrupted politician.
    For people who hate Trump it is obvious that Hunter’s computer is a Russian plot and Biden is a decent politician.

    But people like me have only questions.
    Rudy Giuliani revealed this information, we know that Rudy went to Ukraine fishing for dirt on Biden – should we trust the information he provided?
    Did Hunter confirmed he left computers for repair?
    If FBI is in possession of Hunters computer – did they found Hunters fingerprints on these machines? Did they verify that IP, file creation dates and other info on the received email is valid?
    If Hunter arranged a meeting with Ukrainian representative – is it a crime?
    If Joe Biden met this Ukrainian guy – there must be some trace – visas issued to the Ukrainian, airline tickets, hotels bills etc. Is there any information?
    I have no answers, so for me this laptop affair does not proves anything.

    Is Lying Joe different from Honest Donald?

    Here is the only quote in the article: it can be read as there was no request to ignore the investigation or the information in it. It can be read as a concern that it may be used for political purposes. It does not present the entire letter. The article appears to be an opinion drawn from the quote used.

    “We write regarding press reports concerning materials allegedly describing activities by Hunter Biden, and found on a laptop at a Delaware repair shop,” Schumer, along with fellow Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), wrote in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

    “We are deeply concerned,” the letter said, “about the possibility that in response to these reports the Trump Administration will take actions before Election Day that would seek to damage the Democratic presidential candidate and undermine the rule of law.”

    add:
    How did the repairman get into the e mail account
    Are his descriptions of the e mails accurate (the FBI hasn't released the e mails?)
    Were the e mails written by Hunter Biden
    Even if his son was trying to leverage power and was corrupt in doing so do the e mails show the Vice President was involved or aware of the situation.

    Perhaps this will all work out and we will understand what happened not what people wish happened

    What language did you translate this from? And given you aren't a english speaker, why do you think your comments matter? The Chinese news org GTV has the videos up. Go watch them. Meetings themselves aren't "illegal" but getting kickbacks from the Ukrainians is. Taking money from Russia actually is. Taking money from the Chinese is. All of these are crimes. And so far, the travel dates, the secret services diaries, all support these meetings, and emails from the Biden laptop. And this is why Joe is in hiding. This is why the MSM are circling the wagons to save him. And this is actually the most corrupt thing I've ever witnessed in my entire life.

    This is what the Soviets did. this is what the CCP and China do. This is what authoritarianism might look like. And yet, democrats are here defending it. It's shameless. It's criminal.

    Not at all surprised to see Chucky trying desperately to try and undermine a criminal probe that might impact one of his own.

    Why don't Dems just you know, try not nominating someone under a Fedderal Criminal probe?

    That was a stupid political move on Chuck Schumer's part since 'officially' the FBI does not talk about an ongoing investigation -- with the exception of all of their ANONYMOUS spills regarding Trump; and so Schumer should have simply kept his mouth on lockdown until after the election . . . just as the vast bulk of the nation's leftist loyal mainstream Media outlets are struggling to do as well in regards to Hunter Biden and also to Joe having been identified as the now infamous 'Big Guy'.

    But now thank's to idiot Schumer even MORE attention is being drawn to Hunter Biden and his lap top -- and to Joe in a very negative way -- when that would not otherwise have happened.

    If the FBI even THOUGHT that Rudy might have messed with it, then he'd already be in handcuffs. Try again.

    Why would Rudy be charged with falsifying evidence? He never brought it to the FBI. At best, if they're actually false... and they're not looking like it, then he could be sued for slander. That's about it.

    In any case the FBI hasn't officially said a word about the case afaik.

    DUH Joe Biden is one of the most famous of the people currently living in Delaware, even the blind computer repairman must have heard of him???? Why didn't he just call the Biden residence and ask them if they were going to pick up their computers when they went unclaimed???

    Who say's he didn't? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a hold of a politician's family directly?

    Wow! You sound like you are never-Trumper! Do you think Trump should be arrested for these kickbacks?

    And as to Biden - this laptop affair should be investigated and if Biden broke the law - he should be impeached.
