By Occam’s Razor I mean that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
This is my view of the simplest explanation, but I’m not claiming I know anything more about the laptop than the facts reported in the NY Post.
Unlike the OP I (and others) commented on, “50 police chiefs”, etc.
From my take on the NYPD having the lap top or not having it there were comments made on numerous sites that some of the videos in the laptop were so horrendous pedophilia-wise about young people being tortured or worse that if the NYPD was credited with tearing up which I read in numerous reports and no one there claimed it was untrue than it's likely true.
As to who had the laptop first,second or third I don't care.
It's the info,intel on it that matters to me.
