The Hunter Baloney

[PaulS]

Even Steve Doocy and Matt Tiabbi both admit the Feds did not get involved in the laptop.




The segment opened with a clip of Senator Ted Cruz amplifying Republican talking points about “Twitter Files,” though much of what he said was flat-out wrong. Doocy said that he didn’t know what the senator was talking about before citing Taibbi’s writing on Friday “although several sources recalled hearing about a general warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there’s no evidence that I have seen of any government influence in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem.”

“So, according to the guy who Elon Musk gave all the secrets to, he said I don’t see federal law enforcement involved in the laptop story at all,” Doocy included.

the former head of content for Twitter said very explicitly, the FBI warned them about an impending misinformation campaign against Hunter.

I haven’t heard anyone claim they were warned specifically about hunters laptop. But they were warned it had to do with Hunter. When the laptop story broke, they all assumed that’s what the fbi warned them about, and they all dropped it even though there was never any evidence it was russian information.

Paul, the FBI had the laptop in their possession when they were telling twitter it was russian misinformation. They had the laptop, therefore they knew it wasnt russian misinformation. Come on, you know what happened here.

That’s what Twitter executives are saying. I’m assuming they aren’t lying.

so what. The FBI prob. sends out a warning bf every election now that we know the Russians did all they could to get Trump elected. They met w/Twitter and FB weekly to discuss threats.

There has been zero evidence that President Biden benefited from his son's business dealings.

Well when everyone refuses to even discuss it let alone investigate, it's kind of a foregone conclusion that there will be zero accumulated evidence. You have to start an investigation before you can accumulate evidence, right?

There's the allegations of Hunters former partner, former Naval officer ( I think?), that Babolinski guy. Is there evidence he's lying? If we believe the lady who accused Kavanaugh, on what basis is she more credible than he is?

There will be hearings, posturing, political theater, and nothing will result.

Hunter Biden got fabulously wealthy in Ukraine, when his dad was the executive branch's point man there. There are a lot of countries around the globe. That's a heck of a coincidence. Biden also applied pressure to get Ukraine to fire a corrupt prosecutor. I'm asking a question here, not making a statement, was that guy investigating a company that Hunter was involved with? Some are saying that, but they say a lot of things, don't they.

Has the FBI disclosed what their evidence was, that Russia was about to smear Hunter? We know the FBI had the laptop at the time. If the FBI goal was to bury the laptop story, you're right, the FBI could have specified that a smear was coming regarding the laptop, and they didn't get that specific.

You're assuming the FBI does this every year at election time. Maybe.

Let's have hearings and find out.
