You assume a lot.

I assume that this guy who was obviously tech-savvy and who did not broadcast his thoughts over social media simply dropped the hard drive in a convenient dumpster earlier in the day.

ABC News?? There is no news from those communist fakers.

Do you really believe the hard drive is missing because some communist bimbo at ABC said so??

Don’t be so gullible.

>>That sure does happen a lot when the FBI gets involved, for some odd reason.

As if Paddock dragged a non-working laptop with him to the shooter’s aerie.

An OS on a USB thumbdrive is even better - there's ability to save & access files that way - yank it out of the USB slot to quickly hide or destroy it.

I’d do it using any of dozens of bootable Linux test-drive CDs that anyone can download for free. Or use regular CCTV cameras and a monitor.

Well that’s one way of putting it.
Those of us who are Christian, knew these days would come eventually. And it’s happening worldwide as well.

What we’re all witnessing is a cataclysmic convergence of events that will erupt into the final seven years of this age.

The Big Explosion is coming though, rest assured.

Which BEGS THE QUESTION:

IF THE LAPTOP HAD NO HARD DRIVE, WHY DID HE HAVE IT IN THE HOTEL ROOM IN THE FIRST PLACE? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN USELESS DEAD WEIGHT.................

So he brought a laptop without a hard drive to his room?

Would they like to pull the other one?

It has bells on it.

I am beginning to side with those that think that human trafficking - children for the pedo sex trade - could be involved here. His money laundering gambling activity fits that as easily as gun running or drug running. There is something monstrous out there that made him, perhaps, go postal to start a chain reaction that brings the evil edifice down. All the Hollywood stuff and Nickelodeon stuff and all the stuff coming out now in D.C. that implicates the Podestas and the Democrat hierarchy. The Democrat enablers like Corker, Flake and McCain going ballistic. Maybe I’ve read too many Clancy or John Brown novels. But there’s something here and it’s all happening at once...started by this massacre and a very poorly covered-up investigation.

Maybe there’s too many things and they are all different. But with all this happening at once, it’s hard to not see pieces that fit.

That is a reasonable explanation.

I am bothered that is has taken weeks to hear about it. The govt blackout of meaningful information being provided only increases the distrust as potentially damaging (to their credibility)information is dribbled out.

“I’m sure sheriff Lombardo and his FBI handler have a satisfactory answer to this newest kettle of rotten fish.”

FBI should just create a Lombardo puppet and implant the Recording Of The Day inside. Set the puppet in front of a microphone and pull the string in its back like a Chatty Cathy Doll.

Poor Lombardi. I figure he goes home and takes an hour-long shower after each encounter with the FBI.

I guess we will have to wait 54 years for the answers.

Boy you have that right. This is as dirty a deal as I’ve ever seen. It’s sickening to know that victims are still in the hospital and these rats continue to lie to them.

You don’t think the FBI had been all over his house with a fine tooth comb?

reminds me of the phone scene from waterboy, but if he was that bat-s%^& crazy, how could he have pulled all of this off?

The fact they didn’t immediately analyze the hard drive shows they didn’t want to find anything.
