Do you have reliable evidence it wasn't a right-wing fabrication?


? Fabrication? There was no credible evidence ever presented that it was a fabrication or that Russia had anything to do with it.

Here is the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-...

You are reasoning from your beliefs.


I'm not reasoning, I'm playing devil's advocate as someone who is laptop-agnostic. A couple posts back in my history you can see I wrote the converse to someone.

Also, it's not that the laptop is a right-wing fabrication, but the... uh... existence of material relevance to the election I think? Something about it was dismissed as right-wing misinfo but, again, idk enough about the topic, I'm just trying to see what I can gather from different views now that the dust has settled.


Fair enough.

If the charge is that it was sequestered by members of the right-wing and then intentionally released right before the election to influence the outcome, then yes that is definitely true.

But there were claims that this was a hoax, forged documents, or sourced from Russia. There has never been any evidence backing those claims, AFAIK.
