The retorts from the media: debunked, Russian disinformation. The news cycle: three or four days.
Alternatively consider: A dribble, which is damning unto itself, on October 15. Twitter & Facebook blocking, and thus highlighting the significance. Fox News authenticating the emails. Multiple media establishment authenticating the computer repair shop owner's acquisition of the laptop. The reaction from Biden. Trump pounding on this at his rallies, followed by a campaign ad today. Now cycle, repeat and condense that until the election.
50% of Americans have below average IQ's, and news dementia. They absorb information slow, they forget quickly.
I'll go for the slow release of information over three weeks. It is good for the reelection of PDJT, and it brings the deep state out of the wood work.
We need to have patience. Also do not expect the NY Slimes or Washington Compost to cover this story accurately, if at all. Hence ABC/CBS/NBC/CNBC/MSNBC/PBS/CNN/Bloomberg et al will not report accurately. That is the reality.
Where is Barr? Serious question. Republicans in congress have called for a special counsel. The President has called for a special counsel. We know the FBI had a copy of this hard drive for 10 months.
The media continues to ignore the story and the only “leaks” we have been given is that the intel community believes this is Russian disinformation (disputed by the DNI).
All of this background noise and the personalities involved appears to be blunting the most important facts (even here on FR).
The most important text messages that have come out are simple - Pops gets 50% of his salary and he got an equity stake in a joint venture with the CCP. We know from the Senate report that there was a lot of money flying around. Connect that money to Joe Biden. Forget Hunter other than painting him as what he was - a bagman for Joe.
I don’t care about the pictures of perversion. Yes, they should be investigated and if they are criminal charge him, but we have an election in two weeks and there is now clear evidence of a pay to play scheme with Biden. This needs to be about Joe - not Hunter.
They need to focus on the prize with laser precision at this point. Just my .02. The media is able to block the important facts because they are able to focus on all the background noise by characters they have classified as fringe nuts. Read some of these threads here on FR and even many FReepers dismiss some of the characters involved in this.
The New York Post has mostly gone silent other than complaining about Twitter/Facebook. The peer pressure seems to be working on them. The WSJ says they are going to release some stuff, but so far the media appears to be winning the story about Joe and even when they report it they make it look like “fringe nuts” are picking on a poor drug addict.
Another fact that needs to be dusted off and stated repeatedly is that the NYT covered this in Dec of 2015 after the Clinton campaign planted the story of the Ukraine to sideline Joe in the 2016 primary. Fact - the NYT reported on this previously and after Joe did not run in the primary they dropped it. Read some of the stories from the NYT and they directly contradict their reporting in that article now.
Trump has to be smart about how he brings this up in the debate because the moderator will do everything she can to blunt it and cut him off.
Make this about Joe Biden. Period. Without him, his son and cohorts had nothing to sell. They have to show money going to Joe directly.
