Fox News


quote:

Sen. Ron Johnson is calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray to confirm or deny details regarding a laptop said to have belonged to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden. Johnson, R-Wis., said in a letter to Wray obtained by Fox News that a whistleblower contacted his committee on September 24, claiming to possess a laptop that Hunter Biden left at his business, and that he had turned it over to the FBI. Johnson noted that staff immediately asked the FBI to confirm certain details in order to validate the claim, but the bureau said they would not confirm or deny any of the information included in their request. "The FBI has a duty to inform us. If they believe this was maybe Russian disinformation, they should give us a defensive briefing,” Johnson told “Sunday Morning Futures.” “If, for example, they also believe that what information this whistleblower gave us is fraudulent, that would also be a crime, and FBI should tell us that.”


It was October 28th when James Comey held his infamous press conference pressed by information gleaned from Weiner’s laptop.
Will Wray be forced again to have a 12th hour press conference because of Hunter’s laptop and it’s implications?
Surely, history won’t repeat itself?

Wray isn’t going to inform him.

But if he does it will be a made up bull shite story along the lines of they could not authenticate the emails as not being foreign disinformation.

And no one is seeing that laptop. It’s probably destroyed. Or wiped clean, like with a cloth.

But Hunter’s former jailed business partner, Bevan Cooney has turned over thousands of emails as well and he and Archer are pissed that they are getting jail time while Biden walks for the same violations.
It will be harder to pretend it’s all fake when multiple sources are providing information

Oh it will be obvious total bull shite.

But it’s what Wray will say.

I guess people could say they don’t have faith in Wray in response. But that’s probably as far as it goes.

We’re dealing with entrenched untouchable powerful corruption here.

Listen, I’m also skeptical anything will happen, but I also wouldn’t have predicted the Comey press conference 4 years ago either. If the Republicans would make a big enough racket about all of this, it couldn’t be ignored.

Didn't the computer guy make multiple copies, including the one he sent to the NY Post? My guess is he may have a suicidal head injury with two shots behind the ear.

This is what I’ve read. The Post must have copies.

Yea he made copies of the hard drive. Only reason this reality is seeing the light of day other than being just words from someone’s mouth.

But the actual computer. That’s gone. There is no computer anymore.

I suppose the worst that could happen to Wray is that he be forced to resign.

I guess that’s something.

But nothing has really happened to Comey other than his being forced out. And getting praised by the media and a tv mini series portraying him as an honest noble hero.

But Comey’s press conference did lead to negative press on Hillary and I’m sure it swayed some voters.

And yea if I’m that guy I’m on every show I can get on, putting my name out there as much as possible, telling the world that if I should be killed in a botched robbery, or struck by a car, or if a piano should be dropped on my head, or if I happen to be hit by a bolt of lightning, or if I should asphyxiate from a carbon monoxide leak, that the Democrats and their ef bee aye friends had me killed.

True, but I don’t see such a scenario happening again. They’ll make sure of it.

My read is different. IMO, it has to be ignored by Wray&Co.

The FBI is eyeballs deep in the thing. It never disengaged. With an assist from Mueller, anti-Trump corruption continued unabated where Comey, McCabe, Baker, and Strzok left off.

Given these computer revelations, it's apparent they ever actually let up. Meaning, if involved officials are unsuccessful ousting Trump, they are screwed.

The computer guy supposedly made 2 extra copies and gave it to friends in case something happened to him. A kill switch I think.

Something Johnson said bothers me, though it might simply be a ruse to force action.
He said the whistle blower should be investigated and prosecuted if the info is false.
I don’t remember anyone going after Vindman for providing false information!

He should have fired him long ago. Unfortunately, it’s too late in the process now to fire him. It would look way too political and that would grab all the headlines from now until the election.

Wray will say that the laptop was lost in a boating accident while he was trying to get it to a really secure location.

Maybe but if Biden tells them to stay put until after January and they will be pardoned for keeping their mouthes shut.

This is my take as well.

If Trump wins presumably, at a minimum, Wray and the CIA Director are shown the door within an hour of President Trump's Inauguration.
