No Lulz. This is how it started:
SNIP In October 2020, a controversy arose involving data from a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden. The owner of a Delaware computer shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, said that the laptop had been left by a man who identified himself as Hunter Biden. Mac Isaac also stated that he is legally blind and could not be sure whether the man was actually Hunter Biden.[1] Three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the New York Post published a front-page story that presented emails from the laptop, alleging they showed corruption by Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee and Hunter Biden's father.[2] According to the Post, the story was based on information provided to Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney of incumbent president and candidate Donald Trump, by Mac Isaac.[1] Forensic analysis later authenticated some of the emails from the laptop, including one of the two emails used by the Post in their initial reporting.[7]SNIP
Rudy is not an illustrious beginning for finding the truth, nor is the NY Post a reliable source. It got messy, I dropped thinking about it until there was something solid.
SNIP The hard drive data had been shared with Trump advisor Steve Bannon before it became publicly known.[1] Trump attempted to turn the story into an October surprise to hurt Joe Biden's campaign by falsely alleging that, while in office, Biden had acted corruptly regarding Ukraine to protect his son.[16][17][18] A joint investigation by two Republican Senate committees released in September 2020 and a Republican House Oversight committee investigation released in April 2024 did not find wrongdoing by Joe Biden with regard to Ukraine and his son's business dealings there.[24] PolitiFact wrote in June 2021 that the laptop did belong to Hunter Biden, but did not demonstrate wrongdoing by Joe Biden.[25] SNIP
So by waiting, I skip all the bruhaha, which I am not interested in, and find out it's real and verified by the FBI and nothing indicates Joe Biden has done anything wrong with Hunter, his business deals,and especially the Ukraine slop - just that Hunter's behavior was terrible and to many people immoral. Easy Peasy for me - just wait and look at something else. Some people love to get caught up in the drip-drip-drip of the attempts to smear a candidate, but I don't. I may make a comment or two, but that drip-drip-drip I don't like.
