This is one of the few times “think of the children” does come into play, think about he sat on this evidence until it was politically advantageous for him to reveal it. He knew that at least one child was in possible danger and he did absolutely nothing about it. Hopefully he can be charged with something like a failure to report such evidence.

1. That would be if you believe Rudy.
2. It had already been turned over to the FBI

2) Nope.

Or he thinks he will wait and see who gets elected. He doesn't want to go down with the ship.

There's been pressure on him since he took the job, and he'll be gone if there's a new president whatever he does or did.

Sorry Darat, these advanced concepts are going to require a detailed, step-by-step breakdown lest we fail to grasp. Are you actually going so far to say that when a person says this, and also says that...

Never mind. I need to contemplate this conundrum further.

Not posting the link, completely unnecessary. This is the guy tied in with Bannon and Giuliani.

The video of some woman pleasuring Hunter Biden with her feet while he hits the crack pipe, talks about how good the camera angle is and also videos with his smart phone is obviously a deep fake. ******* Putin!

So much for the argument that all of this was unbelievable nonsense made up by Giuliani.

Trump always puts 'his' people in these positions: Trump expects them to go too far, tell one lie too blatant, and when they don't show proper loyalty he gets rid of them and complains about how disgusting the person was.

Is that video supposed to have been on the laptop? Or was this from the stuff someone was selling in the Ukraine last year for $5 mil that Giuliani passed on?


Wait, it doesn't really matter, does it? We now have evidence that an admitted drug user used drugs while being related to someone on the ballot. That tears it, I'm not going to vote for Hunter Biden.

I'm trying to figure out if Giuliani gave crazy Chinese dude a copy of the laptop through Bannon, to use for Lude Media. Which is an anti Chinese group hooked up with Bannon. That's the most likely scenario at this point. Crazy Chinese guy claims to have 3 drives of compromising material which was put together by the CCP lol. Completely not believable. Haven't even heard a claim on how he obtained the supposed 3. Wang DingGang mentioned the drives on his show back in September.

Bogative 24th October 2020 05:17 PM

These are the denials and dismissals from the first two pages after Giuliani broke the story. I'd post the rest of them but the per-post character limit would require there to be several more posts and I don't want to get nicked for spamming. Besides, they would be ignored as well.

Rather than reposting all the people mocking the fake laptop story, why don't you give us some reason to take it seriously? Was the video even claimed to be from the laptop?

Right now, you are crowing because a video has been released of Hunter doing drugs, or having consensual sex with an adult, I'm not sure which bit you think is problematic. Given that we are aware Hunter did drugs, and most adults have had consensual and legal sex at some point, what is the scandal? More importantly, what makes this a reason to vote for Trump?

I guess you are behind the times. We've already discussed in this thread how even Giuliani thought this info was too sketchy when someone was selling it to him last year in the Ukraine.

And somehow, you seem reluctant to explain what "dirt" this is supposed to be, or why we should care. Hmm

Motivation is clear with him, Tony Bobulinski found out through the Senate report a few weeks ago that Hunter and Jim Biden had a side deal with CEFC China Energy, and he wasn't happy about it.

I'm not obligated to explain anything to anyone who can very easily find the explanation themselves by reading information that has been provided by multiple sources available with a quick Google search.




GTV has released another picture captioned "Exclusive! Picture of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden Using and Weighing Drugs Disclosed!".

It's a picture 4.7 g of crack cocaine sitting on a scale. I hope he put back 10% for "the big guy."

I'm guessing he saw the writing on the wall and stepped out in front of this before being thrown under the bus and ending up a convicted felon like two other Hunter Biden former business partners.

I'm not going to be able to google why you think evidence that a self admitted drug user was using drugs is some kind of dirt or gotcha. That's why I'm asking you to explain it. If you are unable to, that's ok, I I understand.

Forgive me for presuming you were sufficiently informed about the subject being discussed. I mentioned "10% to the big guy" in the post you are replying to. Google that term and inform yourself on what it means and how it relates to Joe Biden and Tony Bobulinski.

Do I think he got 3 laptops from someone he couldn’t identify but guessed it was Hunter Biden due to a sticker on the laptop, was unable to contact Hunter Biden in any way, made copies of the hard drives and then contacted and turned them over to Rudy Giulianis lawyer? No I don’t think that happened it sounds stupid.

And meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani is cavorting around Eastern Europe specifically to find dirt on Hunter Biden and has been offered this exact info for sale is just a coincidence. Hunter maybe be smoking crack, but sir I am not.

Fake news. It was fake news 10 days ago when it was first claimed, it's fake news today, it will be fake news for eternity.

John Paul said in a recorded interview he would not have been able to pick Hunter Biden out of the lineup because he didn't know what Hunter Biden looked like.

John Paul said he asked the person dropping the laptops off for his name to which the man responded "Hunter" and then after a long pause said, "Biden" as if he was supposed to recognize who Biden was.

You can hear for yourself starting at the 7:00 mark in the recording at this link. You should listen to the whole thing so you will know what the man actually said instead of the bull **** spin propagated by the media.

Rein it in there chief. He also said he can’t be sure it was actually Biden but was convinced because of the sticker. At least, that’s what the NY Post article that broke the story claimed. Which, again, trying to figure out whether or not it’s true so if you’re taking issue with me using that as a source then, well I’ve been saying it’s fake news the whole time.

"The shop owner couldn’t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden, but said the laptop bore a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, named after Hunter’s late brother and former Delaware attorney general."

I don't think he used that to identify who brought it in. He has the receipt with Hunter Biden written on it, regardless of whether it was "a second Oswald" who brought it in.

Interesting thoughts. But why would he bring it up in conjunction with not being able to identify who’s laptop it is if not as evidence he used to identify who’s laptop it is? And why would a receipt with “Hunter Biden” on it matter if it wasn’t Hunter Biden who signed the receipt?

Why bring up the sticker? Because in conjunction with the receipt, it kind of rules out that it was a different Hunter Biden. If it was "the second Oswald" who brought it in, you're right, the receipt wouldn't matter.

It happens all the time with these laptops. That's no reason not to believe whatever the most recent version is, though.

In fairness to the other side, I've seen claims he contradicted himself. I also asked for a cite but didn't get any.

Here you go:

The customer who brought in the water-damaged MacBook Pro for repair never paid for the service or retrieved it or a hard drive on which its contents were stored, according to the shop owner, who said he tried repeatedly to contact the client.

He said he began hearing about Burisma and Ukraine shortly after Hunter Biden had left his laptop at the Trolley Square repair shop. When a customer doesn't return after 90 days, Mac Isaac says he typically will reach out to them by phone.

Asked if he called Hunter Biden, Mac Isaac said, "No comment."

That's not a contradiction. The NYP cite is from before his press call, from the article that broke the story. The delawareonline is from the press call after the story broke. Im not sure making a statement to the NYP and then saying "no comment" later is a contradiction, but that's just me I guess.
