I would not have voted in the election if I knew about the laptop. True story about something that is true.

The laptop was all over the news at the time. But the news said it was Russian misinformation.

  My skepticism of the media didn't quite reach the level it should have at the time.

      I've stopped using smart phones for the most part this year so I won't be using it I don't think. I've been scared enough by what I've already learned come to pass that I think I don't need to be scared further by rumor mongering. All I know is that it seems the quality of the media is viewed by my peers as about the same as I'd expect the soviets thought of theirs back in 1986.

  > But the news said it was Russian misinformation. And pushing the story was Russian misinformation, peddled via Rudy. Weird how trump world folks keep pushing Russian ops.

That was the only point about the laptop -- to smear Biden.

  It’s relevance is for the American voter to decide, not the FBI or Zuckerberg. The best part is that the attempted suppression only sheds even more light on it.

  But it was a true story? You don’t want to hear about true bad things if they are about people you like?

    The only part of the story that's true is that Hunter Biden was given money with the expectation that he'd have political influence over his father. There's zero evidence to show that happened. Turnabout is fair play: are you willing to hear true bad things about the people you like?

    My (current) understanding of the truth: * Hunter Biden was (is?) a drug addict * Hunter Biden has done stuff to be ashamed of * Hunter Biden got a board member seat on Burisma because of who his dad is * Content (some percentage) on the laptop in question came from Hunter Biden I could do this all day long, because I have no partisan loyalty/ideology binding me. I care about corruption regardless of which party is committing it. Do you want to hear the awful truth about people you like?

      I think the politcaly relevant points were: * Hunter Biden appeared to have sold access to Joe Biden to Chinese officials And suppressing that story before the election was a form of “election interference”
