From a known source I follow, and I have discussed this aspect with others...
Hunter may be the “fall Guy” for “Pops”
How do you inform your target(s) [’business partners’] what you have?
Why would H. Biden have such material on his laptop?
How was the content *originally* received?
Email?
Why would H. Biden risk turning over such material to a computer repair shop? [contents unrestricted?]
On purpose [years of being treated poorly by ‘Pop’] or simple negligence?
If such information existed on laptop why wouldn’t contents be claimed?
Several attempts made to contact to claim?
Messages left?
Why wouldn’t H. Biden want to reclaim *knowing* the contents on the drive could bury *Pops* & family.
A troubled life?
A troubled family?
Looks can be deceiving.
Also search on the Net for Hunters message to His daughter relating how HALF of all he made went to “The Big Guy” AKA Joe his father and that he had been carrying that “water” for decades
In short Hunter knew He was gonna take the fall as he had lived as “the other son” since the begining and after Beau died he was it
Seems strange to some but having a sister (middle) who was referred to by our mother as “The other daughter” and the youngest was the darling it resonated with me. That sister could never get the acceptance the youngest one did and my older sister got essentially the same treatment. Mom is gone now but the youngest one controls her house etc.
So in conclusion Hunter may have realized he could never be more than a “rented mule” to “Pops”, let alone what he saw growing up out of the bright lights of the news media while “Pops the Pedo” was in the limelight
That's psychologically consistent with the facts on the table. Also it might have been a somewhat subconscious choice (to take and abandon a computer that hot) because there are better ways to 'get even' with a cruel father who lives in the limelight. This path (dropping off the computer) allows a troubled person to give themselves wiggle room to protect themselves from who they really are.. . Interesting and insightful comment there 100American... Thanks for sharing.
