Jonathan Turley: Hunter Biden's laptop and the Facebook, Twitter censorship scandal – watch these 3 things



I’ve seen the letter his attorney sent, it has nothing about asking for his laptop back.
I hope you are keeping up, this story is falling apart rapidly even at the NYPost

There was no such letter asking for the laptop. You dwell in a delusion of your own creation.
 
If this is their big bombshell it's gonna bomb alright. Already the hyperbole has started and when the most vocal Trumpistanis bray about treason and criminality anything less than treason and criminality can be ignored. Only the hyperbole needs to be debunked for the undecided voters to shake their heads about the over-amped rhetoric.
It's like the Repubs don't know how to campaign as incumbents. They're playing to their hard-core supporters, ratcheting up the "Lock him up!" rhetoric to get the cheers and applause at the rallies when they should be presenting moderate and reasonable to woo the undecided.
Any nugget of truth in this story, if there is one, is being buried under easily-debunked hyperbole, That's what I'm getting at.

This thing is verified and has legs.
Biden sold access to his office to Chinese while Vice President.
It is what it is.
As for the campaign, it's too late in the game for that.
A vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala and Pelosi, anyway.
They know..
Voting is already happening.

Pretty much anything is better than Trump.

Also, this doesn't have "legs". Even Fox knows it.

Good luck with all this.
 
Read a little further in your Wikipedia source!

“The Post has been criticized since the beginning of Murdoch's ownership for sensationalism, blatant advocacy, and conservative bias. In 1980, the Columbia Journalism Review stated "New York Post is no longer merely a journalistic problem. It is a social problem—a force for evil."

The Post has been accused of contorting its news coverage to suit Murdoch's business needs, in particular avoiding subjects which could be unflattering to the government of the People's Republic of China, where Murdoch has invested heavily in satellite television” -Wikipedia

Since you are unaware and unsuccessful in discrediting the story, the source doesn't matter that much no matter how aged the institution.



DNI Contradicts Media, Dem Narrative. Hunter Biden Laptop NOT Russian Disinformation

Court docs say Hunter Biden is subject of multiple criminal investigations for ‘fraud and money-laundering’


Given how the lying fake news media endlessly and breathlessly covered the unpredicated russia hoax and warrantless pee tape hoax for years, I wonder why the media blackout is in effect.

The Media’s Shameful Hunter Biden Abdication

"Samuel fails to explain what journalistic standards he employs to ascertain what does and doesn’t constitute a “waste of time.” The New York Post’s reporting, after all, has now been corroborated by an on-the-record source, Tony Bobulinski, a former Hunter Biden business partner and Navy veteran. The emails that Bobulinski says are “genuine” purport to detail a business arrangement in which the Biden family “aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions” from foreign entities.
How is that “not really a story”?
There is more and more reason to credit the veracity of those emails, or at a minimum, suggest that they warrant more thorough investigation. We have what appears to be a signed receipt from the computer-repair shop in Delaware, demonstrating that Hunter’s laptop and hard drive were obtained legally. We know that the laptop in question is being held in connection to an FBI money-laundering investigation. The director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe, says that the emails in question aren’t part of a Russian disinformation campaign and the FBI hasn’t contradicted him."

Just when one thought the usual lying suspects could not damage their credibility a little bit more. Lets hope actual journalists can eventually repair the damage to their institution the political operatives have committed upon them.
 
They broke this 'story' a couple weeks too early, didn't they. They must have something up their sleeves.

Obama administration knew Hunter Biden was shady, witness admits

Technically, People have known about the Biden crime family for quite some time.

"In Congressional testimony Friday, former Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch confirmed for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), that in 2016 the Obama State Department privately ran her through a series of practice questions and answers to prepare Yovanovitch for her Senate confirmation hearing.


Stefanik confirmed that one specific question Yovanovitch was asked to prepare for was, “What can you tell us about Hunter Biden’s being named to the board of Burisma?” Incredibly, Yovanovitch later testified that the State Department told her to deflect any questions she might get about Hunter Biden and Burisma by referring Senators’ questions to the vice president’s office.


This admission regarding her senate confirmation prep session was startling, and it flatly contradicted a prior statement Yovanovitch had made in the hearing: “Although I have met former vice president several times over the course of our many years in government service, neither he nor the previous administration ever raised the issue of either Burisma or Hunter Biden with me.”
 
Sorry but no. Joe Biden's calendar shows he wasn't in Ukraine on the dates indicated in the phony Russian "emails". "Emails" by the way that contained no metadata or header information.

In other words, fake documents passed by a Russian agent to Rudy Colludy.....

Small stuff. If Trump paying more taxes in China than in the USA doesn't matter you won't get much enthusiasm about Hunter Biden. If Trump being revealed as an immoral fraudulent con man in his first term doesn't set alarms ringing this Hunter Biden stuff will just wash off the ducks back too.
Stay tuned. Tomorrow is the 25th, the day I picked out of a hat for a dirt-bomb dug up or manufactured by Russia to land on Biden's head. Certainly before Halloween. This Hunter-Ukraine thing just won't cut it.

I don’t think you can find a post where I come down on either side of the story that the NY Post ran. I was pointing out how you selectively quoted on the veracity of your source.

All that other palaver that you posted, tl;dr.
 

The problem was the absence of "barks" from the Biden camp. The computer files revealed a host of embarrassing pictures of Hunter Biden using drugs or exposed in other embarrassing ways. The emails contain dates and addresses that match up with confirmed records.

If they are fabricated, there were three barks that we would have expected within hours of the release.

Bark 1: This was not Hunter Biden’s computer - They are not denying it belongs to Hunter.
The most obvious response would be that this is not the computer of Hunter Biden. After all, the computer store owner John Paul Mac Isaac who is legally blind said that he could not recognize the person who dropped off the laptop.

Bark 2: These were not Hunter Biden’s photos or emails - They are not denying they were Hunter’s emails.

Even if the campaign cannot deny that the computer was Hunter Biden’s, it could deny that these incriminating pictures and emails were his.

Bark 3: This is defamation - They would start by denying it is Hunter’s lap top

Perhaps this bark is the most telling. If these emails or pictures are fabricated, it is a clear case of defamation and other tort actions.

It would seem that one of the hundreds of lawyers currently lined up by the Biden campaign would fire off an "intent to sue" letter.


The Biden campaign is not denying anything. They are just counting on less curious people from finding out before they vote, thus the national push to “Vote Early”.

If Biden wins, Harris will probably start impeachment immediately.
They’re still not denying.

They’re silent in the face of the atomic bomb Tony B Dropped on the heads of the corrupt Biden Clan.

Now we know why Obama didn’t want Joe to run... the corruption was deep in his administration.
