Why did The NY Times suddenly change its tune about Hunter’s laptop?

ttwtt78640 said:
It seems clear that some of Hunter’s activities violated FARA, but there are numerous exemptions which would likely make jurors’ heads spin trying to prove intent to violate FARA’s rather complex rules. After all, the FBI decided that Hillary’s “extreme carelessness” somehow fell short of “gross negligence” in her questionable handling of classified material. Couple that with prosecutorial discretion and/or lack of precedent and its very likely that the DOJ will choose not to act to elevate that ‘matter’ into a ‘scandal’.

Yep the FBI was (is) corrupt. Comey actually did her a really big solid by giving her a pass. Hunter on the other hand has a grand jury assembled. Its not comparable. I understand the concerns about too big to indict. This is not going that route.
 
the laptop must run on Fox News 24/7.
 
yep. i was right. Fox News is just so good at using the rubes to keep the $$$$ flowing in...

It would appear you are unaware The Times led the “Russian disinformation” narrative about the laptop in the fall of 2020, and honestly, I see no reason to make an effort to lift you from that state of ignorance. Comments like the one you posted here serve a purpose.

There was Russian disinformation about the laptop. We still have people on here bleating about the child porn on it, that it proved that Hunter was providing Joe kickbacks, etc. Tucker made a big stink about it, received the "lost" laptop material, and ... crickets.

And how did the blind owner of the laptop repair company end up sending copies of the laptop material to Rudy's lawyer after the FBI took possession of the laptop?

Nothing burgers? WHA ??? Mueller was the single most successful Special Prosecutor in history! Did you sleep through that one, Van Winkle? I lost track of the number of indictments, guilty pleas, convictions, prison sentences, . . . . fines ..

Pop Quiz: How many of Trump's closest campaign cohorts were found guilty of Failure to Register as a Foreign Agent? Do you even know? Did you ever know? Do you know anything? It would seem not. "How much time and money", indeed! Mueller's investigation cost the taxpayers nothing - NOTHING - because the fines paid for it!

A "really big solid" ??!! No. Comey actually lost Hillary the election by announcing, just days before election day, that the investigation had reopened, because the FBI had discovered some emails on someone else's laptop - which all turned out to be nothing new.

You never convinced anyone but yourselves that Hillary was a criminal despite Trump's own DOJ - the guy who promised to "LOCK HER UP!" - making no effort ever to indict her. You're not going to do it with a laptop Trump's FBI sat on for a couple years without making any effort to indict Hunter.

But you're not gonna let that stop you from putting on a show of performative bullshit to make it look like you take your latest propaganda seriously, as if that's going to make someone else think it's real.

You sure do get worked up over a NYT article forecasting a storm just over the horizon.

I hope you don't lose it when the shoe drops. Try to remain calm heading into the midterms.

There'll be plenty of time to panic come Halloween.

Haha. Like Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen? They were found guilty of nothing related to Russian collusion. Michael Flynn? Shitty entrapment that was totally discredited? The Mueller investigation did not find anything related to what it was started about. It was a farce.

Hillary was going to lose if Comey recommended indictment. By giving her a pass as he did, he gave her half a chance of getting elected. He did her a big favor. Mishandling classified information on a home brew server was completely illegal. Having no "bad intentions" has nothing to do with it.

The FBI investigated Clinton in public, whereas the investigation of Trump was in secret. That’s the most objectively measurable reason for Clinton’s loss and Trump’s win. There are lots of other factors, but none so measurable as that.

Bullshit. If you're ignorant of the scope of the investigation, just look it up.

More feeble revisionist history. Hillary's poll numbers were higher before Comey's announcement of reopening the investigation.

And what's with the straw man? The words "bad intentions" don't appear anywhere in my post, so don't quote them as if they did.

For the headline of your OP to have any meaning at all, you need to post two (2) NYTimes articles that contradict each other in their coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop witch hunt. Otherwise it's just an unsupported headline failure.

You mean like the Trump/Russia Collusion witch hunt that the NYT is now "editing" articles written back when they were in one hell of a fog -- to factually correct them now?

Polls were bull shit. All people know it. Hilary should have been arrested for total and will full mishandling of top secret information. She was given an undeserved break by Comey.

Trump has never been charged with a crime in his life (so you'll never get an answer) and he intends on keeping it that way - at least until his 2024 Presidential win. Then he can do whatever the hell he wants. He has earned it, especially after the truly asinine idiot we cal POTUS today, i.e., Jimmy Carter, II.

How much cash did Joe Biden give Hunter over the years so Hunter could buy illegal drugs? That act is illegal. Joe Biden is the criminal here.
