Well there is that too...the FBI aren't beholden to let the public know the progress or content of their investigations. In fact I'd imagine precisely the opposite is true? Not even just for any secrecy or security reasons, just basic personal privacy.

There's the awkward fact than HB is suing the computer bloke for releasing his data... If it's not his laptop, how did his data end up on it?

As for banging hookers, you don't need the laptop to show that. The dumb motherfucker uploaded the videos to his own PornHub channel..

There's no footage of the horn bloke doing any damage & within days of Carlson showing him being escorted by cops around the building he was suddenly released from prison..

Is that more or less dangerous than paying some one to not blab about it, then the story getting out anyway.

Notice how this "debunking" carefully avoids any mention of the actual content. I contained links to bank records and payments which expose verifiable transactions, pictures of HB smoking a crack pipe or shagging a hooker, email trails which can also be traced etc.

It is absolutely true that a copy is not admissible as evidence. The moment anyone looks at a hard drive outside of a data forensic environment, the data is compromised. So what did the FBI do with the only unquestionable source? Nothing. And yet the information contained on that laptop leads to discoveries which expose highly questionable actions on the part of the Bidens.
...So leaning on it as evidence of anything is a fool's errand. Yes, some of the info on the "laptop" was verified

....You claim the J6 activities in the Capitol building were peaceful.

...There is plenty of footage of them NOT being peaceful inside the building.
I am not suggesting the laptop is evidence of anything, I am merely reacting to the idiotic attempts to call it RD (I am using your newly invented euphemism cf. "conspiracy theory" to refer to "Russian disinformation"). Then further attempts to deny it is even Hunters laptop, then claims that it was "stolen" and therefore "hacked" and therefore no one can speak of it in the entire world of social media/big tech. Then finally, now that all of the smoke and mirrors have failed, it is denounced as "compromised".

I don't care about any of that. We are used to that concerted level of disinformation. I have personally been battling with the subject for years now and it is the lies/disinformation I object to more strongly than whether or not the laptop has incriminating evidence on it.

As it happens though, it does. It is immaterial that the evidence (which you say cannot be "true" due to its chain of custody) cannot be used as evidence because that "untrustworthy" evidence has led to discoveries. Including a very real chain of bank records showing how the CCP secretly paid millions to the Biden mafia.

I do not claim the J6 activities were "peaceful", I merely object again to the lies/disinformation and blatant propaganda being spewed out by the mainstream media and swallowed whole by people like you. Calling it an "insurrection" and "the worst violence since the civil war" while at the same time hiding ALL of the CCTV footage of the even and only showing brief excerpts of events outside which I have painstakingly detailed in an earlier post. That footage uses clever editing, shaky video and jump cuts to make it look worse than it is. There's even a heavily colour corrected shot through some "smoke" (tear gas) which purports to show the building on fire! Hilarious.

Oh. Another claim that there is some further footage of "NOT being peaceful" activities inside the building. "Plenty of it too". Excellent.

Show me. :hmmm:

You jest but consider this: Trump has been impeached what, three times now or is this number four? I lost count. He has been hounded since day #1 with lawsuits, vilified incessantly by the entire msm, censored and finally arrested on extremely spurious grounds by someone who probably doesn't have the authority to do so.

At the same time Hunter Biden has left a trail of evidence behind him. Massive payments by corrupt companies in Ukraine (FFS!), even more massive payments from the CCP, once threw a handgun into a dumpster (as a drug addict, he is not allowed to even have a gun), complains about having to pay a cut to "the big guy" (I wonder who that is?) and yet through all of that, what have the authorities done regarding this trail of wrongdoing?

Nothing.

If Trump did pay off Stormy to keep it quiet and in doing so that's a crime - isn't it a crime her accepting the hush money?

It's not a crime. It is distasteful but if someone wants to "spill the beans" you either A. go to court, spend a small fortune defending yourself and everybody gets to hear about it anyway or B. persuade them with a "settlement" up front.

The "fraudulent business activity" is a carefully worded spin on the facts of the matter which appear to be relating to how a dodgy accountant made those payments after Trump told him to use cash. The accountant committed fraud (I don't know the details) and was prosecuted/jailed for it. It is unclear what Trumps involvement would have been, one assumes he just bankrolled the accountant and left him to get on with it.

Skip forwards a decade and suddenly the Biden admin have decided Trump is a problem and somehow this payment needs to be reinvestigated as an election expense. It was not declared as an expense. I assume thats because the payment was made after Trump was in the Whitehouse.
It wasn't just a single reimbursement, apparently it was effectively paid off by employing the accountant on a retainer, hence the "34 counts of business fraud". Sounds bad right until you realise it's just the one thing and that thing is bollocks anyway.

The case will go nowhere of course but that doesn't matter, sharper minds than mine will ensure it carries on well into the election cycle so that the mainstream media will have something to smear Trump with. Somewhat ironic that this Trump hush money is being touted as "election interference" when the Biden admin are literally guilty of actual election interference!

Paying her off isn't a crime. The issue is how the funds were dispersed.

Squandering? That's a bit harsh.

It's a really nice campervan!

I'm amused by the mundanity of it. Drugs and hookers? No, a nice comfy campervan.

Even collagen lip implants would have a bit more interesting.

I reckon the shortened SNP leadership campaign will run and run, probably through the courts as well ...

https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics ... p-contest/
At an emergency meeting the day after Nicola Sturgeon resigned, the party’s ruling NEC agreed to a rapid timetable for the contest, with a new leader in place within 40 days.

The party’s constitution states that the process should normally run for around 133 days.

The SNP debacle illustrates nicely that all politicians are crooks. Unfortunately only some get caught, and usually only after they have been at it for years.

Are you attempting to imply the swarm of protesters in the Capitol building was no big deal and that property destruction did not occur?

Capitol Police provided 14,000 hours of footage. There's a lot to sift through. To find some of protesters milling about as if they're on a tour is going to be easy. However, that ignores a few items. They gained entry through violent means. They busted out windows and climbed inside. They were not supposed to be inside regardless of their means of entry. They had violent intent. Or do you think they were there to deliver pizza? It sounds as if you think showing some of the "tourists" meandering around negates the actions that took place. Are you suggesting there was no damage to the building or any of its contents?

I did a simple google search "J6 video inside the Capitol building," here's the top link (fast forward to about 6:30 if you don't want to watch the entire video):

Q Anon Shaman, Jacob Chansley, was transferred to a "residential reentry management" facility in Phoenix, with a release date of May 25. He was originally projected to be released July 2023, but federal prisoners can earn reductions in sentences over the course of their time behind bars. link

Nowt to do with Tucker Carlson showing home movies. His cherry picked 4 minutes is a misrepresentation of his full time in the building. BTW that started with the earliest wave of rioters entering the building.

A boat load of them entered and didn't damage anything. They weren't supposed to be inside the building. It was closed to tourism. He was convicted of obstructing an official proceeding. He wasn't released, he's in a halfway house. Tucker Carslon's bit of footage had nothing to do with them moving his release to an earlier date. That happens all the time based upon good behavior.

Honestly, does anyone bother to look at the small details anymore? You've claimed you don't watch Fox if my memory serves me well. Apparently you've lifted this little gotcha moment off facebook or similar. And it's still doesn't hold water.
