Y-22,
(Noel):
“What will be your position on Uncle Joe’s viability as a presidential candidate if the allegations are proven beyond a reasonable doubt?”(Y-22):
“... honestly with everything Trump's done it doesn't even raise a flag on the scale of corruption anymore. The money is a different issue, but honestly I don't think its any more serious than any of the shady money issues Trump had. The Russian oligarch who bought a house for $50 million from Trump only to rip it down and rebuild something else.”Leaving aside the distinguishing difference pertaining to conflicted national loyalties in the Biden story, this statement is a paradigmatic example of my problem with alleged Trump
“corruption”. Without knowing anything other than what you have just written, I can say that not only is this clearly legal, but it is what property developers do. Can you conceive of a rationale behind this oligarch tearing down the structure that would enhance his investment? What non-nefarious reasons might exist for an astute business person to do precisely this?
“Trump's properties in Panama and some in New York that have been linked to money laundering for organized crime.”Are you saying that Trump took tainted bank transfers in exchange for property? How does one know an inter-bank transfer is tainted? Unless seedy looking mafioso are hauling in mail bags of cash to escrow companies, I don’t know how this accusation could stand up.
“This story is so implausible. When Trump was making a stink about Hunter Biden and Ukraine. Hunter just happens to spill some water on a computer with incriminating evidence. Instead of going ahead and destroying the thing so the evidence goes away he decides to:
1) Take it to a blind computer repairman.
2) Leave his name but no contact info.
3) Never return to pick up the computer.
4) Then the repairman who conveniently can't identify who actually dropped the computer off because he's blind decides to peruse the computer files for old emails instead of wiping the drive and selling it off.”Maybe you have the wrong story. It should be noted that Mr. John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer technician, did not invite these
“reporters” to his shop, as is made clear in the video. He did not want to talk to them, yet they persisted.
https://youtu.be/y9rMR3NnRfgIn order:
1) Mr. Issac is not “blind”. He stated that he has a progressive medical condition affecting his eyesight which, compounded by the difficulty caused through COVID mask concealment, prevented his immediate recognition of Hunter. Honestly, I would not recognize Biden out of context, either one of them, and my eyesight is fine. I stood in the airport next to Ron Howard, and Desi Arnez Junior for ten minutes before my traveling companion pointed their presence out to me.
2) Hunter did leave contact information. That is how the technician realized who the owner was. When the contents of the solid state hard-drive from the Model 2016 MacBook Pro, (with a Beau Biden Foundation sticker over the Apple logo), were individually dragged, and dropped, during the data recovery process, legal issues were raised in the mind of the tech which he believed justified involvement by law enforcement. This was not the first time he had done so. Apparently, he previously worked as a technician for Apple Inc. directly, and reported child pornography under similar circumstances.
3) Biden was not given the option of recovering his laptop. As to his stupidity; drug addicts are not known for good judgement. This is the same Hunter Biden who only recently lost a paternity suit to Lunden Alexis Roberts, and had argued against the hearing going forward because of COVID-19, and the fact that his wife, Melissa Cohen, was pregnant. I see the trail of bad judgement that you describe as not only tenable, but predictable, with this dolt.
4) There is nothing
“convenient” about data recovery. The man did exactly as Biden requested per the work-order. This
”happened” to result, of necessity, in seeing everything recovered as part of the process. Circumstances were such that
“wiping the drive“, as you suggest, would have amounted to destruction of evidence. Incidentally, the original drive was liquid damaged, and not salable even if the intent was to part out the computer.
“How about you, will you be any more skeptical of the right wing propaganda machine when this is shown to be bogus? Rudy and Bannon aren't reliable sources.“If the hard disk proves to be inauthentic, then that is the end of the discussion for me. If your assumption that fraudulent representations were made regarding it are correct, then Rudi is in huge legal trouble which, as an ex-prosecutor, I am sure he fully understands. I don’t think he is an idiot, but I have experienced greater disillusionment in my life.
My resulting disappointment would not let me go this far. :
“But if graft were proven I would just call for Biden to be impeached and say hello to President Harris.“To vote for a person that is known to behave in a manner justifying post-electoral impeachment is just too cynical for my taste, especially if Harris cannot win on her own merits, as your putative replacement president. That would be inherently undemocratic.
