@SQUEEKY2 I believe you forgot that Hunter was (and possibly still is) a crackhead. He may not have even remembered that he dropped it off.
As for the legality, the WO he (Hunter) signed specifically states that if it is not claimed within 90 days of the repairs being completed it will be considered abandoned and the customer holds the store blameless for any damage or loss of property. This includes, in the case of computers, anything on the hard drive.
And all of your questions add up to a deflection. You asked the question of why those on the right foam at the mouth over this laptop. I told you why. And you are just trying to deflect from it. Look at it this way…what if this was Don Jr’s Laptop? Do you think you would be questioning if the information was obtained legally? I will guarantee you would not. You have never questioned a single thing that pointed to potential wrongdoing by Trump or anyone he ever knew. And that is where we differ. Given the exact same situation with it being a Trump instead of a Biden, I’d be calling for it to be investigated. There is not a lot of gray area here.
But the parts you are ignoring even more is the potential corruption by the government itself. The laptop was seized by the FBI prior when the Trump impeachment started. This was months after it was first reported and attempted to be handed over to them. Isaac had made a copy of the hard drive to review it. It was that copy that was given to Giuliani. It doesn’t really matter if Guiliani did anything with that data or not. It could easily be proven to have been altered if he had…the original was with the FBI. And the FBI raided his home and he offered them this 3 times and they refused it. He finally gave it to Delaware authorities who passed it on to the FBI. You don’t trust Guiliani, I get it. But his actions are idiotic if he had tried altering information to frame up Hunter. Not to mention, the information on the laptop was verified to be accurate by people that had information on the laptop. Too many checks and balances for it to be made up. And everyone has admitted it is valid.
So the FBI sat on this information and, in fact, participated in a concerted effort, to suppress this information and to take no action on it at all. They supported the lies that this was Russian disinformation.
The NY Post put out the story after Isaacs got tired of not hearing anything of it from the FBI. He finally went to a conservative outlet because he knew how corrupt the MSM was. And as soon as the NY Post ran the story, the rest of the media and social media immediately began running a disinformation campaign to brand it all as lies. You might want to ask why “news” agencies would reject, out of hand, a story about a primary candidate for POTUS. It is potentially blockbuster news. Yet they didn’t report on it and suppressed it instead. Why? Because they are propagandists. Additionally we had 50 deep state players automatically reject the story as Russian disinformation…players who in some and probably all cases could not have actually reviewed it at all.
Let’s compare what we have now with the beginnings of Nazi Germany. We have a federal police force that is corrupt and works for only one party (Gestapo). We have media that will tell whatever story is wanted by that party (Propagandists) influence public opinion and behavior. We have all the markings of the beginning of a totalitarian regime. And we have a smoking gun that could expose it all to head it off.
Why are the left foaming at the mouth to discount all this?
