A cache of emails and other selected data purportedly from a laptop owned by Hunter Biden were published today by the New York Post. Ordinarily a major leak related to a figure involved in a controversy of Presidential importance would be on every front page — but the red flags on this one are so prominent that few editors would consent to its being published as-is.
Almost no news outlets have reported the data or its origin as factual, and Facebook and Twitter have both restricted sharing of the Post articles pending further information. Here's why.
When something of this nature comes up, it pays to investigate the sources very closely: It may very well be, as turned out to be the case before, that foreign intelligence services are directly involved. We know that Russia, among others, is actively attempting to influence the election using online influence campaigns and hackery. Any report of a political data leakage — let alone one friendly to Trump and related to Ukraine — must be considered within that context, and the data understood to be either purposefully released, purposefully edited, or both.
But even supposing no global influence effort existed, the provenance of this so-called leak would be difficult to swallow. So much so that major news organizations have held off coverage, and Facebook and Twitter have both limited the distribution of the NY Post article.

The left will say it's provenance is more important than the content, and give Biden a pass.
Even though there is no evidence, not even a claim by the data owner, that the data was the result of a hack.
No question about this provenance. It’s Joe himself.

Democrats are pure evil.
Provenance is paramount, except when it concerns some dirt on a conservative.
Like the provenance of Trump’s tax returns?
>> No reporting, censorship... Here’s why.
STFU, Devin
It’s good to know that if the situation had been reversed and leaked emails showed one of Donald Trump’s kids accepting bribes on his behalf from a foreign corporation, social media would be equally reluctant to publicize the story without carefully confirming all details.

Tucker carlson led with this story tonight and it was thorough and he had the NY Post reporter on too.
Good chance they could find Hunter’s DNA on the lap top from him watching porn.
Or the soilder suckers fake comments
So, someone sat in his basement and created 40,000 bogus emails that can be crosswalked to verified events, facts, and other documents. And, where did they find the body double for the sex tape.
Complete nonsense, but this is the Democrat talking point.
I don’t recall anyone in the MSM being concerned about the “provenance” of the Steele memo, even though it quickly became obvious that it came from the Hillary campaign and the Obama administration.
4 years ago they told use don’t read Hillary’s emails, they weren’t supposed to be public and the media could be in a better position to review them.
Meanwhile someone steals Donald Trump’s tax returns and they are fair game for conspiracy theories about no taxes paid.
Well, yeah. They're directly involved in downplaying and discrediting and diverting attention from their involvement with the Biden Crime Syndicate.
“When something of this nature comes up, it pays to investigate the sources very closely:”
Unless it is printed by the Atlantic and smears PDJT
This article says nothing and offers no facts.
It’s “hard to swallow” and Russia!
But even if it’s not Russia ... something else.
Fing leftist liars. It’s not in the news because it’s Biden. Duh.
Like they did with the Steele dossier and the Russian hoax. Oh, wait…
But for three years day in and day out we heard about Trump colluding with Russia, nonstop. No evidence was required. Nothing. Not a shred.

Need to go check YT for Tucker’s show.
To claim the data hacked, implies it’s authentic.
And would also require Biden to claim it was stolen.
That should be the challenge by Trump.
Don’t let these bastards have it both ways.
