"The most likely explanation is that Hunter Biden had full knowledge of these documents because his Dad removed them during his last days as Vice President. Those documents helped Hunter identify clients and secure deals in Ukraine, China and other locations. And Joe Biden directly benefited from those deals (e.g., 10% for the Big Guy)."

That's plausible. But, what I don't get, is why don't these corrupt bastards just have a staffer scan and digitize the documents, encrypt them, and put them on a thumb drive? You could put all of them on a single thumb drive.

There's no longer any valid reason to steal physical paper documents in the first place. Biden could have just put a staff person on the assignment to scan boxes of docs and nobody would have thought twice about it.

Why take physical evidence of law breaking? Spies have been using cameras since photography was invented and dropping film in all sorts of unlikely spots...

I’m guessing spies pay more for hard copy...

Which is why you wouldn’t want to use a camera. Because then you no longer have plausible deniability.

Take the docs and you can just say “oops I forgot I brought some homework home and forgot to bring it back”. Sure, it’s still a crime, but not a crime you will get prosecuted for if you are a Democrat. Start snapping pics on a camera and you are getting charged not just with mishandling documents but with espionage.

Wait! You would've COMPLETELY LOST senile Pedo Joe and his sidekick, Cokehead Hunter, way back at "digitize"!
