Isn't there some evidence? Like the pictures? Sure, the emails could be fake and the photos real, but it does seem to indicate that they have at least obtained some sort of computer from Biden? Also, neither Joe or Hunter Biden have denied any of it so far, AFAIK.

> Also, neither Joe or Hunter Biden have denied any of it so far, AFAIK. If they comment - even to blanket deny - it gives the story weight which is exactly what the people who planted it want because then they can spin it out for a few more days/weeks. Better to keep quiet - like with the court packing question - and let other people kick this ridiculous farce into touch.

  If all the emails and such are fake, are you saying it’s a better strategy to just not comment on it versus just releasing a statement that it’s all fabricated (because you know it is)? Seems like a strong denial would go much further here.

      Seems like the exact opposite is happening right now. Since he isn’t issuing a blanket denial, people think that means it’s not fake.

        I think it pretty much doesn't matter what he says or does - people will believe the angle they believe and that's presumably what the people behind this are hoping will carry for three weeks until election night.

Why would he deny it if it was fake?" That would be much easier to verify in that case. It seems more that the biden admin knows that any refutation of the content of the emails would backfire when they are proven to be true. In that case claiming ignorance is the correct nice.

        Exactly. This was how the media verified the wikileaks - they asked the NSA if they were fake and the response was "no comment".
