Hunter Biden laptop ignored because of media 'conspiracy' to 'get rid' of Trump: Bill Maher
Washington Examiner
Real Time host Bill Maher accused the establishment media of a "conspiracy" to keep the Hunter Biden laptop story quiet until after the election — so they could "get rid" of former President Donald Trump.
"He's saying that's what they did, and that is what they did," Maher said. "They buried the Hunter Biden story before the election because they were, like, 'We can't risk having the election thrown to Trump. We'll tell them after the election.'"
"Is it OK to have a conspiracy to get rid of Trump," the host continued. "Look, let’s not pussyfoot around this — he was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden. I mean, most political sons do, but let's not pretend at least that was going on."
There are big big problems with the whole 'Hunter Biden laptop' story. The biggest problem has the legal name "chain of custody."
And if you know anything about forensics of Unix-derived operating systems, the missing log files are at least as large a problem.
Who all has touched that laptop since Hunter Biden allegedly dropped it off for repair? Republican activist Jack Maxey handed out several copies of the laptop hard drive to media organizations for analysis, and WashPost put some outside experts on it.
Among the reasons for the inconclusive findings was sloppy handling of the data, which damaged some records. The experts found the data had been repeatedly accessed and copied by people other than Hunter Biden over nearly three years. The MacBook itself is now in the hands of the FBI, which is investigating whether Hunter Biden properly reported income from business dealings.
Most of the data obtained by The Post lacks cryptographic features that would help experts make a reliable determination of authenticity, especially in a case where the original computer and its hard drive are not available for forensic examination. Other factors, such as emails that were only partially downloaded, also stymied the security experts’ efforts to verify content.
People who work as sysadmins all know that you can easily make a sector level copy of a drive using the 'dd' (drive duplicate) command. You can make as many copies as you like without modifying any file creation dates or access dates or anything else. If you want forensic evidence, don't EVER boot up or enter the file system!!
MacOS is derived from a BSD Unix spinoff called Mach, and like all Unix family OSs, it writes extensive log files of admin level activities.
Analysis was made significantly more difficult, both experts said, because the data had been handled repeatedly in a manner that deleted logs and other files that forensic experts use to establish a file’s authenticity.
Log files deleted. Really? Log files deleted?? Who would know how to do that and why??? Seriously, if you want to establish the validity of the laptop, deleted log files is a bigger problem than chain of custody.
Lol. The former president stole top secret defense information and stored it in a pool shed but you want to go after the current president's fail son because stuff and reasons and feelings. Right.
Today's "news" media is to the Democrat Party what Pravda was to the Soviet Politburo. "Before we sign off after an hour's worth of news - there's one more item, nothing to worry about - there's been a minor nuclear incident in Chernobyl. The incident is being taken care of." That's how today's news media would cover Chernobyl if it were a Democrat screwup.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow PitifulBitterToday: Imagine being so pathetic you spend all day and night seething with envy toward a neighboring country and deluding yourself into believing you're smarter than everyone else.
It was ignored because the FBI told them to ignore it. The FBI, like the CIA is now in the blackmail business. They get salacious information and instead of handing it over to the DOJ, use it to get what they want from anyone, including it seems the installed idiot in the Whitehouse.
Just remember. The media, the Feds, the dems/rinos all knew 2 years ago that Biden took inappropriate showers with his messed up daughter and hunter smokes crack and rapes his underage niece. And they all knowingly buried this because…. Orange man bad,
What kinda person/people justifies that in their mind because of party loyalty?
After epstien, it’s becoming a pattern with the left huh?
Filthy fucking pedos and pedo enablers.. every last one of them
@ElwoodBlues Any reports of Trump making any plane trips to that infamous island,a la Bill Clinton?If their was,Im certain it would gave been major news atvtbis point.Also,I seem to recall a story about how Trump kicked him out of one of his hotels because he was being abusive to the staff .
Donald Trump appears to have flown on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jets six more times than was previously known, according to flight logs released as evidence in Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial.
