Months before 51 intelligence experts, the news media and Joe Biden himself suggested without evidence the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, the FBI had authenticated the device as belonging to the first son and prosecutors had expressed confidence its contents had not been manipulated, according to a contemporaneous IRS investigative memo.

The October 2020 memo was penned by IRS Supervisory Criminal Investigative Agent Gary Shapley, now a whistleblower, and provided a chronology of how the FBI validated the laptop as having belonged to Hunter Biden as early as November 2019 and by spring 2020 was exploiting and analyzing its emails, text messages and photos.

“We have no reason to believe there is anything fabricated nefariously on the computer and or hard drive,” the contemporaneous memo stated. “There are emails and other items that corroborate the items on the laptop and hard drive.”

Shapley told Congress in a transcribed interview released Thursday by the House Ways and Means Committee that after extensive analysis by FBI computer teams that federal prosecutors personally expressed confidence that the laptop was Hunter Biden’s and unadulterated.

“The whole discussion was about: Can we rely on this information on the laptop, is it Hunter Biden's? And their opinion was, it was, and it was not manipulated in any way,” Shapley testified.

A congressional lawyer then asked: “It was reliable evidence?”

The agent replied: “That is correct.”

The memo and testimony corroborate reporting dating to 2020 by Just the News, which hired computer and handwriting experts to confirm that laptop’s data was authentic and that Hunter Biden signed the receipt at the Delaware computer shop where it was taken for...

Makes perfect sense.

The DOJ is America’s KGB. They are extremely technically competent, they are bureaucratic and they are political, all at the same time.

They know the truth, but are happy to lie about it.

Claiming "Russian disinformation" might not have constituted fraud in the legal sense...but it sure as hell did in the moral sense.

Of course there was *legal* fraud in GA,PA,MI,WI and AZ. But that's a different matter

The government is not controlled by “we the people.” There is an illegitimate oligarchy in charge.

We can count on Mitch McConnell to get to the bottom of this and expose this election fraud to the American people.

I thought the Just-us Department and their captive courts had forgiven Hunter of all sin.
shouldn’t we also be as forgiving?
Why are we still harping on this?

The FBI and ‘intelligence’ are filled with corrupt liars...

It’s amazing people don’t connect the dots between this type of corruption and election fraud - branches of the same tree.

Had they raided hunters residence in Joe Biden‘s home they would’ve gotten to the classified documents from Biden’s VP time . Stored in the garage.

.
They knew there was evidence in the Guest House. This is what they said, there were aware there evidence of the scheme in the Guest House, and then the US Atty denied them a search warrant - because there was Evidence!

Seriously

The fall out was cited as why they needed to stand down!

At the time 51 former intelligence officials were informing the media and the voters that information on Hunter Biden’s laptop was likely Russian “disinformation”, Bill Barr knew the FBI had possession of the laptop and had verified it was Hunter Biden’s laptop and that the information contained thereon was likely real.

Bill Barr remained silent which was effectively lying to the American voters prior to the 2020 election. He was a part of removing Trump from office. Barr now sanctimoniously goes on TV and criticizes Trump for fighting back against the plot against Trump and the American people. Barr also knows the indictment against Trump is just a continuation of that plot. He is just as guilty of treason against this nation as Biden, Obama and Clinton.
