Hunter’s laptop, Wuhan and more: ‘Disinformation’ and ‘conspiracies’ turn out to be true — again and again
NY Post ^ | 5/30/24 | Glenn Harlan Reynolds

Posted on 05/30/2024 3:40:00 PM PDT by Libloather

These days it seems like a conspiracy theorist is just someone who was right, but at an inconveniently early time.

Shortly before the 2020 presidential election, a laptop formerly belonging to Joe Biden’s son Hunter came to light.

**SNIP**

The computer, as reported by The Post, contained reams of incriminating evidence of bribery, drug use, payoffs from shady foreigners and worse.

This was a tremendous news story, with earthshaking ramifications for the election.

Naturally, therefore, it was important to ensure that nobody heard about it — or, if they did hear of it, that no one believed it.

Dozens of former intelligence officials denounced the laptop story as “Russian disinformation.”

Press outlets refused to report it.

(One newspaper, where I had been a weekly columnist for years, spiked my column about that refusal, causing me to leave and come to The Post.)

Anyone believing the laptop was a worthy story was called a Russian tool, a source of “disinformation,” and a conspiracy theorist.

Social media companies censored the story.

Twitter, now X, under its old management even blocked direct messages between users that contained a link to the story.

Except that now we know it was all true, and that the actual disinformation came from those retired “civil servants” and the pundit class, who were more interested in protecting Joe Biden and defeating Donald Trump than in the actual truth.

“Disinformation” was a buzzword, but in truth it was also their goal.

Hunter’s laptop is not just genuine, it’s so genuine that a federal special prosecutor is entering it into evidence in Hunter’s trial on weapons law violations.

Chalk another one up for the “conspiracy theorists.” There was in fact a conspiracy — to keep the Hunter story on the down-low until after the election.

another so-called conspiracy theory? worth further investigation.

1-minute video:

Jason Goodman/Crowdsource The Truth/ confronts Norm Eisen in NY, accusing him of being behind the Trump trial.
https://x.com/JG_CSTT

Wikipedia: Norm Eisen
While at Harvard, he met future president Barack Obama, then also a first-year law student...
From 2007 to 2009, Eisen was active in the presidential campaign of his law school classmate Barack Obama before joining the transition team of then-President-elect Obama as deputy counsel. On January 20, 2009, Obama named him special counsel for ethics and government reform in the White House...

A prolific writer, he often contributes op-ed pieces to The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico,[39] USA Today, and other national publications...

In February 2019, Eisen was appointed consultant to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary. He assisted the committee on oversight matters related to the Department of Justice, including impeachment, and other oversight and policy issues within the committee’s jurisdiction. A columnist at The Washington Post called Eisen a “critical force in building the case for impeachment.”...

You are assuming a great deal of self-punishment in those convicted felons.

Hmm, is Hunters laptop part of this case. Perhaps we can find out how Biden got that pedo Joe nickname.

from Eisen’s Wikipedia page: In 2003, Eisen co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a government watchdog organization.[14] From 2016 until February 11, 2019, he was chair of the board and co-counsel on litigation matters, including emoluments cases in New York and Maryland federal courts (CREW v. Trump and D.C. and Maryland v. Trump, respectively).

By Victor Nava
The suit, filed by the liberal nonprofit group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, cites the 14th Amendment’s “Disqualification Clause,” which bars any person who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution from holding federal or state office, as the basis for the 77-year-old’s White House ineligibility...

The complaint was filed on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters represented by CREW and two other law firms and specifically seeks to bar Trump from the 2024 Colorado primary ballot over his alleged role in “recruiting, inciting and encouraging a violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021 in a futile attempt to remain in office,” according to the group...

as a CNN “analyst”, Eisen has dozens of anti-Trump, pro-Bragg articles online in FakeMSM. no doubt plenty worth noting.

this is more like it. lots of links, details, etc:

23 April 2024: Substack: Norman Eisen - Leading the Lawfare Against Trump
By Jeff Carlson & Hans Mahncke
Norman Eisen, a Brookings senior fellow, co-founder of CREW and Obama’s former White House Ethics Czar, has been a driving force behind the ongoing Lawfare attacks that have targeted Trump throughout his presidency and into the present date. And he continues to lead the behind-the-scenes legal actions against Trump to this day.

Eisen played a lead role in the 2020 election war games which predicted a contested election scenario unfavorable to Trump and was one of the primary forces behind the first impeachment of Trump. Eisen is also the author of the highly influential color revolution manual, the Democracy Playbook.

We’ve written about Eisen (LINKS) a number of times, but we now have fresh insight into the organization behind his Lawfare against Trump...
