It really doesn't pass the smell test that it was actually Hunter's laptop. Unless he's majorly stupid (I suppose that's a possibility...), why would he just choose a random computer repair store and leave his laptop(s) there. According to snopes.com, the owner didn't even see Hunter drop off the laptop: https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/10/15/hunter-biden-laptop-giuliani/ https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/10/15/hunter-biden-laptop-g...
If I were Hunter Biden, I would certainly have connections who I can call and ask about fixing a laptop which has secret information, and I would check that they're not a Trump supporter first. OTOH, if it really was Hunter Biden and he wasn't an idiot, then him giving the laptop to some stranger would mean he was sure there were no secrets on that laptop. (Then again, people don't understand tech and he might've thought deleting a file removes all traces of it).
But Twitter and Facebook censoring the story isn't that neutral either, it's obvious who they wanted to win the election.
- DevKoala 6y agoHunter has suffered through documented periods of crack addiction and it was during one of these episodes that he lost the laptop.

- netsharc 6y agoThat link doesn't suggest he was battling addiction in April 2019. Got a source that tells us he was in one of this episodes in April 2019? Or are you just another Twitterer who throws "facts" into the dumpster fire? From Snopes: The Post reported that the saga started in April 2019, when a man identifying himself as Hunter Biden dropped the laptop off at a computer repair shop in the Biden family’s home state of Delaware. The laptop had been damaged by water.
- ndiscussion 6y agoRegardless of your politics, it doesn't take much to believe that a person known to have months-long crack binges went on another binge. Recovery is hard.
- netsharc 6y agoSure, it's not impossible to believe, but DevKoala up there saying "yeah, he did that" with no evidence/verifiable sources, I'll assume he's just talking out of his ass.. (a trait shared by a certain political side)
- DevKoala 6y agoYou are right, it was wrong of me to assert he handed the laptop while intoxicated. Perhaps what I should have said is that given his recent history of addiction, his competence when handling important materials is in question. Also, the laptop repair shop owner has gone on court to fight for his version of the story. https://www.businessinsider.com/hunter-biden-laptop-repairman-lawsuit-twitter-defamation-2020-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/hunter-biden-laptop-repairma...
