The problem with Hunter Biden’s laptop while the experts may be able to confirm all the emails sent supposedly by Hunter Biden on that laptop originated from that laptop it’s kind of hard to prove who wrote & sent the emails.  Same with the emails sent to that email address.

So far the one guy who admits sending emails to Hunter Biden is failing at being a credible witness.

Do I have a problem with the investigation.  No.

My problem is the Republicans trying to make this bigger then it currently is based on the information available.  And they are only doing as payback for the allegations made against trump.  trump who if he a cooperated with any of the investigations instead of doing his best to obstruct them could have shut people up if after the investigation they found nothing.  

When you don’t cooperate you are hiding something.  When you claim the 5th you are hiding something.  It’s that simple.

Violations of free speech principals by a private company.  I wasn’t aware private companies like twitter or newspapers HAD to print everything they run across to avoid “violations of free speech principles “.

Personally I think it’s a real sore spot for the Republicans that one of their Presidents had to resign from office and they have been looking ever since for a Democrat they can bring down.  Doesn’t matter if their “proof” is verifiable or not.   They want to have that comparison that a Democratic President was forced to resign too.

But but Hunter Biden’s laptop….

Note the response…

Not a big deal.




But not according to this guy…

So this is what all that hoopla was about last night.




And of course this guy had to add his two cents…






I have to say him claiming to know what our Founders wanted or didn’t want is pretty funny.

The one thing we need to understand with trump is he has no problem overthrowing the government to get what he wants.  In other words he has absolutely no respect for the government.

Apparently so.  And dumpster don is so mad he didn’t get to see Hunter Biden’s dick he wants to suspend the Constitution.  Can you even do that?





This is how ridiculous and dangerous this has become.

Below is from this article attached to this tweet.








I vaguely remember hearing this when the laptop first surfaced.

”First note that he dodged the original question. It remains a mystery why Hunter would fly to D.C. to have a laptop repaired and then forget about it. But that's not really the point.”

Then there is this.  A reporter is interviewing the owner of the shop where the computer was left.

“Reporter: What other information on the laptop led you to believe it was Hunter's?

Mac Isaac: Personal information.

Reporter: [paraphrased, any thought this wasn't Hunter's laptop?]

Mac Isaac: No.

Reporter: Did you ever review the contents of the hard drive or did you just copy it and send it?

Mac Isaac: The paperwork says I checked in the machine to do a recovery from a liquid damaged computer.

Reporter: So you would have seen some contents of the hard drive?

Mac Isaac:  I would have been responsible for dragging and dropping all of the contents.

Reporter: All of the contents?

Mac Isaac: It was a mess.”



So, this is actually worse than his other description of intermittent recovery, as it describes a tedious, and completely ludicrous, by-hand process of data recovery by copying files one at a time. Even if we accepted that he needed to boot up the laptop, he could have used tar or zip or some other file archiving method to grab big chunks of the data at once (and preserve more of the metadata, though not all). This description doesn't even do a good job of explaining how this amounted to a review of the content that he's claiming, as, at best, all you see is tiny thumbnails of some documents that wouldn't really be recognizable. You'd certainly never see email contents or anything like that. Unless of course you chose, unnecessarily, to start opening things just for fun.

While it's not a great explanation for him seeing the contents, it is potentially a better explanation for having a "copy" of the hard drive that was for the most part forensically useless, and impossible to validate fully, as others have described it. It would fail to preserve file create and modification dates, it would miss hidden files, and depending on how you did it it would miss entire sections of files (e.g. if I was doing a by-hand recover like this, it would be to focus purely on user files, and no system files or logs).

There's other big flaws with Mac Isaac's explanations, and conflicts with other statements he made.”
