I do not believe a person who is the son of a former Senator and VP would compromise himself with viral selfies on a laptop. THEN, take the laptop in for repair and forget to pick it up. It just isn’t possible. There is much more to this story, probably espionage and a warning to Joe Biden, “if we have this on Hunter, you know what we have on you”.
This guy had/has serious addiction problems. I think it is likely he blacked out and forgot where he took the laptops. That said, I think it likely foreign intelligence agencies already had the goods on him...
