"There is no indication that the Post conducted a forensic analysis to confirm the authenticity of the emails and photographs. The Post says it received the material on Sunday, just three days before publishing its report. The metadata in the PDF files published by the Post, which supposedly contain Biden’s emails, show that the files were created in September and October of 2019 — months after MacIsaac said the laptops were dropped off and a full year before the Post story dropped" https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ques...den-trump-campaign_n_5f88de1cc5b66ee9a5ee4aad ****************************************************************************** it's also worth noting that that federal authorities are investigating if the laptop and emails are part of a foregin intelligence operation: https://thehill.com/policy/national...g-if-alleged-hunter-biden-emails-connected-to https://www.businessinsider.com/fbi...emails-foreign-intelligence-operation-2020-10 ******************************************************************************** and of course, the White House had been told that Giuliani was targeted by Russian intelligence operatives https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...rump-misinformation-white-house-b1059631.html https://www.businessinsider.com/off...ligence-targeted-rudy-giuliani-report-2020-10 ********************************************************************************** finally, the owner of the computer repair store who is supposedly the source for all this was asked directly if he had any contact with Giuliani before the laptop was dropped off and he refused to answer: "Mac Isaac refused to answer specific questions about whether he had been in contact with Rudy Giuliani before the laptop drop-off or at any other time before the Post article’s publication. Pressed on his relationship with Giuliani, he replied: “When you’re afraid and you don’t know anything about the depth of the waters that you’re in, you want to find a lifeguard.” Seeming to realize he’d said too much, he added: “Ah, shit.” So Rudy was your lifeguard? the reporters asked. “No comment,” he replied." https://www.thedailybeast.com/man-w...aptop-to-rudy-speaks-out-in-bizarre-interview ************************************************************************************** this whole story stinks to high heaven
* "That ten months have passed since the FBI seized the laptop, and it hasn’t generated any announcement from the Department of Justice, has to be disappointing to Giuliani. And Trump. However, they should prepare to be disappointed again. Because federal investigators don’t seem to be spending their time running down Trump’s already proven false conspiracy theories about Biden. Instead they’re examining the emails to see if they are part of a foreign intelligence operation. However, just last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress that one of the principle ways Russia is trying to interfere in the 2020 election is by spreading lies about Joe Biden. And Wray directly mentioned efforts to produce supposed Biden emails. Which makes it particularly interesting that back in October 2019—as Parnas and Fruman were going to jail, and shortly after the dates suggest documents on the found laptop were forged—FBI insiders indicated that Giuliani was at the center of an expanding criminal investigation. But it’s beginning to seem that, if the FBI does have anything to say about this computer in the next two and a half weeks, it’s not going to be about Hunter Biden, or Joe Biden. It’s going to be about who acted as a bagman for Putin, shuffling disinformation around the United States in an attempt to disrupt the election" https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...heme-to-see-if-it-s-a-setup-by-foreign-agents
