Long and short of it is that, over a year later and despite all sorts of investigations into it, the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop remains unresolved. Saying a few emails came from email accounts he owns does not do more than say that the emails came from somebody with access to those accounts. The alleged “blackmail material” remains elusive, as does anything resembling evidence that Hunter or his dad engaged in criminal acts.

We’re just supposed to take it on faith that the laptop exists, that the whole of the HDD contents are authentic, and that the files we’ve never been show are enough to put one or both men in jail if ever a “serious” investigation into them is conducted.
