@Ozuye502 Hunter Biden's alleged laptop, huh?
You're familiar with the concept of chain of custody, right? And metadata? Keep that in mind. A guy named Jack Maxey gave out several copies of the alleged Hunter Biden laptop drive to various news organizations, including the Washington Post. WaPo gave it to a pair of independent security experts to analyze. They said the hard drive had been accessed MULTIPLE TIMES in the months after Hunter Biden allegedly dropped it off. They also said the log files (crucial metadata) had been deleted from the drive.
Chain of custody - it's a real big problem with that laptop. Maybe insurmountable.
Funny thing: right wing media never mention chain of custody. They never mention metadata. They never mention deleted log files. Why do you suppose they would be keeping this crucial data from you???
BTW, I've saved some paragraphs from that March 30, 2022 WaPo story. I'll update this with them if anyone is interested.

@SilkandLace2 What, exactly, sounds like even more bullshit?

@ElwoodBlues your lengthy technical explanation, if the shoe was on "the other foot" oh, kinda like the Mar-A-Lago fiasco, "oh, he's a criminal, string him up and prosecute" but nah, Hunter's cool🙄

"Yeah, here's the hard drive, but it's been accessed and possibly modified multiple times since Hunter dropped it off. Files deleted? Maybe. Files added? Maybe."
Can you see how EASY it would be to create a reasonable doubt in a courtroom? Maybe you can't. Every prosecutor in the US can see the problem though.
but nah, Hunter's cool
The things I mentioned are a giant barrier to successful prosecution. But as the FBI keeps investigating, maybe they'll find something. So far, at our current state of knowledge:"Yeah, here's the hard drive, but it's been accessed and possibly modified multiple times since Hunter dropped it off. Files deleted? Maybe. Files added? Maybe."

Nope. All we're saying is keep investigating. Get to the bottom of the matter. And sure, keep investigating Hunter too.

If that was Hunter's laptop and if it had the things that were supposedly on it, then he is the biggest idiot on the planet for trying to get it fixed by some idiot he just selected at random. And we all know how pictures can be photoshopped and faked. But if it was real the guy who snitched should expect to have a very limited future if he makes a habit of snitching on his customers.

@SilkandLace2 First off, let me apologize for bursting your bubble. Maxey gave copies of the drive to right-wing media too. Why did they fail to mention metadata and deleted log files? Because people like you are more useful to them when you're angry. And they want that anger more than they want you to know the truth.
right, so do i say
Why should I care what you say? Curse your worst if it makes you feel better!!you win because you're SO clever, etc etc
I win because the FACTS are on my side. And you were unaware of these facts because right-wing media withheld them from you. Because they've been manipulating people like you and will continue to do so.

People who claim to be independent in thought, skeptics, questioners should REALLY pay attention to this.
