Prove to me the laptop is real.

Here's NYT telling you it's real. They put it in the 27th paragraph of a low circulation article a year after the election. https://web.archive.org/web/20220826030459/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html https://web.archive.org/web/20220826030459/https://www.nytim... >People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.

  Did you see the word 'appears' there? What does authenticated means in this context? It may well mean 'the emails the times got are those emails' rather than 'the emails were truly between those parties,etc'

    sounds to me like the parent is right, the NYtimes is obviously trying to hide the story and avoid using the word real although it s surely implied

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-... FBI has the laptop and only they can tell you. We know it contained real emails. There is enough evidence that I don't know what it would be besides real.

  So the FBI has Hunter Biden's laptop and emails? And what? What is the crime exactly? I also have a laptop with emails on it. What is the proposed crime of Hunter Biden and if the FBI has evidence of a crime, why wasn't he charged?

    > What is the crime exactly? Based on what has leaked to the public so far, I believe some combination of drug possession, prostitution, money laundering, corruption, and abuse of an elected office for personal profit. > if the FBI has evidence of a crime, why wasn't he charged? That's what a lot of people would like to know.

      It takes time. It’s similar to people wondering why Matt Gaetz hasn’t been charged with sex trafficking yet, or Lauren Boebart with numerous violations of election rules. And let’s not forget Trump and various others for Jan 6th, let alone what we’re seeing unfold now with these documents he took. Federal criminal investigations like this take a bit of time. And no, this isn’t whataboutism. Anyone who breaks the law, particularly those who are “in charge” need to be held accountable. This includes Hunter Biden if he broke a law, but it also includes Trump and others.

        We are still waiting on Hillary’s emails to be prosecuted.

        Sure prosecute her too. She can sit next to Trump in a jail cell. But the more likely answer is that after relentless grilling at the behest of Republican lawmakers under Trump and actual testimony there probably wasn’t anything there worth pursuing from a legal perspective so no charges were filed.

Look at any of the pictures of Hunter from it? Or how some people found a backup of his phone and got videos of Hunter? You probably never saw those because most of those are suppressed, too, but it's out there. Hunter misreads the scale with the 20g or so of white powder on it.
