At this point I'm forced to conclude that there is more evidence pointing towards the authenticity of this information than pointing away from it.
Consider:
- The FBI came out and said there's no evidence of foreign disinformation.
- As has the DOJ.
- As has the director of national intelligence.
- Hunter's lawyer contacting the shop owner to ask for the return of the hardware
- The FBI's grand jury subpoena for the laptop
- The Biden campaign's weak (those meetings weren't in our schedule), later walked back to non (they might have happened anyways), repudiation of authenticity
- Travel mentioned in the emails matches up with Secret Service travel records
- The absurd volume of pictures of Hunter Biden in compromising positions
The argument against authenticity, at this point, falls deeper and deeper into conspiracy theorist territory. At the very least, it fails Occam's razor. The best argument I know of against authenticity is the lack of release of any raw messages with headers, but even that is pretty low-impact in the face of FBI/DOJ/DNI confirmation.
I've collected what I found so far here, both arguments for and against, with sources where possible: https://www.kialo.com/are-the-hunter-biden-emails-as-released-by-the-new-york-post-authentic-41503?path=41503.0~41503.3 https://www.kialo.com/are-the-hunter-biden-emails-as-release...
If the raw messages are later released in whole, and the DKIM is validated, that's the smoking gun. A number of media organizations are then going to have some very uncomfortable questions to answer. The same later applies to some of our three-letter agencies if they turn out to be bogus. That would mean our investigative and intelligence agencies are both tainted.
- Karunamon 6y agoAs of this morning, a third party has verified the DKIM headers on at least one of the messages. https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/29/cybersecurity-expert-authenticates-hunter-biden-burisma-email/ https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/29/cybersecurity-expert-auth...
