Gary Shapley's lawyer (who only lawyered up after DOJ FINALLY made him turn over the email he had been stalling on for months) says that Hunter Biden should not have the same recourse as Trump's lawyers gave to the Russians who set Hunter up in the first place.
Remember: Toensing and DiGenova were promising access to Bill Barr and the exchange for that was ... the investigation into Hunter Biden.
@tristanleavitt If you somehow missed that your own client provided PROOF that no one had validated the laptop for 10 months after they got it, then you probably have no business asking abt import of Russia.
@tristanleavitt You ALSO probably should not ignore that the same AG who took a meeting with Dmitry Firtash's lawyers which was PART of the laptop caper also set up this investigation in the first place.

Let me try to explain how John Durham made you MAGAts all look like dumbasses.
By context, this email of 2 Russian spies talking about starting a Deep State conspiracy is July 26.
But this Russian spy report--the one you're all drooling over? Durham has, AFAIK, ALWAYS hidden the date of that. Always. 🤔 @ChuckGrassley is probably colluding with him to do so now.
But BY CONTENT, it can only have been written July 26 or later.
@ChuckGrassley Now, Durham concluded that the Bernardo emails were "compilations," which is a dodge word for "fabrication." But even if you believe the Bernardo emails are REAL, the one via which the Russian spies would have "learned" that Hillary "approved" a smear campaign was date July 27.
In a declaration filed this week, Trump's top DOGE at Treasury cited a GAO report from last year. Lots of people On Here are taking that $2.7T out of context. (And ignoring that poor Tom miscited some quotes in this paragraph, but we expect shoddy work from DOGE.)
But let's look at the GAO Report he relies on, shall we?
FIRST humiliating thing DOGE Tom didn't tell anyone is that MANY of these improper payments--the reason there was a recent spike--pertain to Trump's own COVID programs.
Elon would like to remind you that Trump has installed HIS OWN BUREAUCRATS to access your $$, and thus far, his high school grads have fucked up at least 5 times.
Things @elonmusk's hand-selected bureaucrats have fucked up in 2 weeks on the job:
Forced out FAA head days b4 fatal accident
Screwed up Medicaid portal
Set up a way to spam entire agencies
Did shoddy research that led @karolineleavitt to lie abt Gaza
Offered unfunded buyouts
@elonmusk @karolineleavitt Why is Trump letting the richest man in the world fuck up YOUR OWN access to services the government owes you?
Barry Loudermilk, page 18: Liz Cheney had too much authority.
@RepLoudermilk, page 12: @Liz_Cheney didn't have enough authority.
Loudermilk relied on Trump's Truth Social posts, rather than sworn testimony. I guess @RepLoudermilk is so stupid he believes everything Trump says on Truth Social?
A big part of @RepLoudermilk's attack on Cheney amounts to insinuation that @realJodyHunt acted unethically, which seems like something he might want to avoid.
