After talking it over w/Trapezoid, my stance on Hunter's laptop is:

1. Probably at least one email address or device of Hunter's really was compromised

2. Whoever provided the data to Rudy & co may have added forged items -- the Russians, e.g., did this w/Macronleaks in 2017...
and

3. Some of the Definitely Real Hunter Biden Emails I've seen floating around, in my judgment, *are* probably forgeries. Pretty crude ones at that!

This, for example, is just... not at all how humans talk, but it IS a bunch of red meat for GOP'ers who wanna gin up a scandal. Image
That said,

4. Some of the items will probably be genuine too (in Macronleaks a LOT of items were genuine -- and boring -- while a few hand-crafted fakes were meant to lob a grenade into the French election right before people went to the polls).
Macronleaks failed because the French press boycotted coverage of it. The Definitely Real Hunter Biden Laptop failed because the American press refused to cover it.

In each case, the press was right. In the US case, the story about its provenance was obvious bullshit.
A blind computer repairman who lives on the opposite coast from Hunter Biden just happens to have the data and gives it to Rudy Giuliani, to whom he has access somehow? Nah, hard pass on that. That's wet diarrhetic bullshit.

So the press rightly didn't trust ANY of the contents.
There's probably a parallel universe in which Rudy thought up a MUCH better cover story and the laptop became a mainstream news piece and maybe threw the election to Trump, who knows.

It was always a transparent ratfuck, though. And of clearly illegal origin to boot.
I'm just very curious to know who the REAL source of the data was and how it got into Rudy's tiny, grasping hands.

The problem I have w/reporting on the alleged emails between Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden is:

It assumes the Definitely Real Hunter Biden Laptop is in fact real, and, uh, I have a lot of questions about that.

I mean, a LOT of questions.
To @pinealdecalcify’s observation below, I would add that Tore in particular — the one who first made this public in May of this year — is so fringey and untrustworthy that *other QAnon influencers* make fun of her for it.
Also, someone reasonably asked me: “How does it assume that?”

Good question! The answer:

The content is almost certainly sourced from the Definitely Real Laptop. There have been QAnon/stolen election cranks circulating bits and pieces of “damning emails” from it for months now.

Holy shit, yes it IS incredible reporting.

It starts with Shasta County, which will make /some/ extremism watchers yawn and go "I KNOW ALL THIS," but folks: keep. fucking. reading.

Because holy shit. Sacramento nugget one...
aaaaaaand Sacramento nugget two:
Also, Sacramento *suburb* tidbit:

The allegation is based on the public remarks of candidates & others involved with this effort.

Also, here’s the QAnon connection: Juan O Savin—a secretive influencer best known for the fact that some people think he’s JFK Jr—played a key role in recruiting some candidates. 🙃
Also, fun fact: at least one of the candidates on this slate has received Trump’s endorsement.

And he’s in a swing state.

So: 🙃🙃🙃

Good. I can’t tell you how bloodthirsty the talk about Ruby Freeman is.

I hope they win every last penny in the bank accounts of anyone who ever spread these fucking lies about ‘em
Seriously, suing the Hofts is great — I hope they win the Hofts’ fucking mansions — but in a perfect world it’d be just the start.

The shit I’ve seen said about Ruby scarred *me.* I can’t even imagine how it would feel if I were the actual TARGET of these murder fantasies.
Fun fact: twice, people tried to break into Freeman’s house, supposedly to do a “citizen’s arrest.” This is on top of all the death threats.

The FBI told her her best bet was to flee the area, so she did.

And why? Black women make GREAT targets for a campaign of right-wing lies

If you don’t know those names: Tina Peters is the Colorado election official who gave inside info on her county’s systems to the Stop the Steal crowd.

Sherrona Bishop is her close associate & was Lauren Boebert’s campaign manager at one point.

nbc11news.com/2021/11/17/fbi…
To be clear: Boebert has been relatively chill about the investigation, putting out a public statement that she trusts the prosecutor to conduct it fairly and impartially.

I don’t wanna see people going “LAUREN BOEBERT SOMETHING SOMETHING, CONSPIRACY!”
Lauren Boebert is a shitty human being, and is a big part of the anti-democracy alliance that is… you know… almost the entire Republican Party these days.

Her former campaign manager is simpatico with that, as you would expect, and is running a large Stop the Steal campaign.

It would be easy -- and wrong -- to point and laugh at this post from a Trumpist attorney.

The truth, however, is VERY unfunny: as these people accept that the system -- as currently constituted -- simply won't give them the hangings they want, they will search for alternatives. Image
One alternative is to just go out there and kill your enemies your own damn self. This is rarely done, because the cost to the doer is *ruinous.*

Another is to change the system so that it WILL give you those sweet, sweet judicial murders.

This is the one I'm most worried about
I *am* glad to see any of this energy diverted into things like "LET'S BUILD OUR OWN ALTERNATIVE JUSTICE SYSTEM," bc it's basically a LARP.

Now, they /are/ still trying to LARP it into reality, so you could see it as political theater aimed at building a more fascist system...
