Why Did the FBI Sit on Hunter Biden’s Laptop for Over One Year? We ask what the Media Refuses to Ask
DavidHarrisJr.com ^ | OCTOBER 18, 2020 | DAVID HARRIS JR.

Joe Biden, according to Hunter Biden’s could possibly be the most compromised Presidential candidate in the history of America, and the traditional mainstream media could be colluding with corrupt politicians to cover up the facts to deceive American voters.

“This makes Watergate look like Kindergarten,” Don Trump Jr, son of President Donald J. Trump on Sunday. “This is the stuff of Communist china!” Trump Jr. said.

The New Yor Post reported that the FBI was in possession of the laptop on which the emails were found in December 2019 — right in the middle of the impeachment of President Trump over remarks he made to the Ukrainian president about Biden’s conduct in the country.

Exactly!

The Chigaco Tribune reported in September that “Two Republican-led Senate committees issued a report Wednesday on the work Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, did in Ukraine.”

From a press release from the offices of Senator Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley:

U.S. Senators Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, released a report that revealed millions of dollars in questionable financial transactions between Hunter Biden and his associates and foreign individuals, including the wife of the former mayor of Moscow and individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Best case scenario you can prove it backwards. Verifiable sources can validate info on the laptop. But info only from the laptop is useless because the chain of possession is crap. These are very simple evidentiary rules. The courts have ruled on this kind of thing hundreds of times.

You’re an anonymous guy on the internet claiming expertise and making crap up. We see evidence like this thrown out of court constantly. If you can’t establish the chain of possession it’s a poison tree. And if you actually are what you say you know that.

I am not claiming the laptop could be used in court.

I believe that it can only be used if the information can be proved to be valid by other means that would have been reasonably discovered in the course of an investigation.

That is why the laptop is the _beginning_ of an investigation, not the _end_ of one.

If nothing on it can be verified by other means, yeah, then it is useless.

But, in this case, there is lots of info verifiable by other means _if_ you actually _wanted_ to pursue the case.

That is the discretion law enforcement _always_ has, and that is why it is so important that law enforcement has leaders of total integrity and impartiality.

We do _not_ have that at the FBI or the Just Us Department.

Having had a TOP SECRET (specialized, if I told you what for I’d have to kill you) clearance, I can tell you that being able to be “compromised” is a number one disqualifier.

i’m not insulting you either. The hard disk is just a tool that can be used to find other evidence that WILL hold up in a courtroom.

The old adage, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” applies.

BOTH the FBI and CIA are corrupt top to bottom AND both have become completely USELESS where their work is concerned!!

Au contraire, they are acting exactly as they intend to. They have both grown too big for their britches. They no longer see themselves as servants of the government, but that the government exists for their sole benefit.

Both of these entities, along with DHS in my opinion, need a complete and utter overhaul; to include a massive downsizing and scaling back of their operations in order to better understand what it is they are doing, and how they are doing it.

Trump in his next term, should bring back some of the old-timers, and just let them tear shit down, in order to building something useful and effective out of the ashes.

The FBI is trying to get their “piece of the pie” by stocking the vault like J. Edgar Hoover did.

Exactly!

1. because the script of pee porno was true,
with Biden, BUT was being used by the FIB and DO”J”
to smear, remove, impeach the ELECTED PRESIDENT.

2. to continue to allow child rape, while the
FIB enjoyed the movies and the snuff films
that the crime families provided, WITH fresh adrenochrome
of children.

3. money. money. Comey coverup. Mueller coverup.
Burisma coverup. CHINA coverup. moeny.

4. evil incarnate.

What you wrote is simply not true. The FBI convicted a former business partner of Hunter and Archer of fraud. The fraud conviction for Archer has been reinstated.

The FBI has their computers! Would emails stored on those computers and different servers not authenticate the emails on the abandoned computer? In any fraud investigation the FBI or any investigating agency including your local police will obtain records from servers, cloud storage, and computers and cellular phones as well as banks and other financial organizations. They had to do this or the Judge that sentenced the defendant would ask where it was. This is a clearly established practice and required proof.

The former FBI defendant has corroborated the scheme as he sits in jail and Hunter got a pass. That is also corroboration.

Furthermore, the GOP committee in the Senate led by Johnson has also obtained records that corroborate the scheme and likely much of what is on the abandoned computer.

Hunter emailed and communicated with government employees at the state department. Records of those communications would be easily authenticated by the FBI and compared to the emails and text messages saved on the abandoned computer.

Investigative journalist and Rudy G also have presented clear evidence of the scheme in the Ukraine and elsewhere.

That is how investigations work. In this case, it is pretty obvious that 1) there was no investigation, they sat on it and 2) they purposely withheld information from the President during the impeachment that was directly relevant.

There is clear evidence and this is a very simple investigation that would take a few months at most. They have had the harddrive for 10 months. Did they attempt to do or review any of what I wrote above? Apparently not.

Did Barr know about this? His silence is perplexing and this has dropped squarely on him like a nuclear bomb. I would like to think there is no way he knew about this during the impeachment process as he was highly scornful of it from start to finish.

Did Wray withhold this from DOJ and Barr?

I know why and doubt many of us would disagree that this is further partisanship on the part of the swamp. However, these are critical questions that must be answered because they clearly show the double standard many of us are so angry about.

In federal court, documents are considered self-authenticating if they can be corroborated by other means as I wrote above or by obtaining a copy from the server, cloud, or ISP to verify them.

This is simple. There is no real chain of custody issue in play here regarding the electronic communications on the device.

You can make the argument that the pictures/video might have the issue, but again, this is an apple computer and those typically back up to the cloud and they contain metadata that can be verified. Did the FBI bother to obtain records from the cloud? Did the FBI establish what the metadata showed?

In the end, who really gives a damn about the pictures and video? It is a distraction just like Hunter is. I only care about the evidence and smoking guns that show Joe was getting money from the bribery and influence schemes.

Sort of like “Just because a few people from the other countries are taking flying lessons and not wanting to learn how to land the planes. No concern or investigation.”

If it can’t be used in court it can’t be used to obtain a warrant.

The FBI has been a political organ since day 1. Nothing new there.
