FBI authenticated the laptop IN 2019.

In October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that the laptop might contain evidence of a crime. The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID.
"Russian disinformation"...my ass.

How is it that Blinken ended up with the plum SOS job and Morell got bupkis?
Blinken and Biden go back decades. He was the lead Democratic staff member on the Senate Foreign relations committee back in the early 2000s when Biden chaired it and/or was ranking member. He was the foreign policy advisor to the 2008 Biden presidential campaign. He went on to be ‘national security advisor to the VP’ during his first term and became deputy Secretary of State during Obama’s second term. He was in the private sector during the Trump administration and came back to be foreign policy advisor to Bidens 2020 campaign.
So he’s basically been Biden’s foreign policy guy for 25 years. Nobody was surprised when he got State.

So what do you think the FBI agents on the investigation should have done.
Considering that it contains information of possible influence peddling, perhaps start an investigation rather than giving a heads-up to Twitter et al that something is coming which they (cough, cough) might, might, consider information.
And just maybe, not recruiting 51 "experts" on on Blinken's request that this be framed as fake.
Make it public?
New York Post tried that. And look how that worked out.
-
It looks like there’s an embedded assumption in that. The FBI agents on the case verified it. But it’s like they sent a memo to all 35,000 field agents (which would be the same as making it public).
Why would you expect other agents not to be skeptical of a laptop delivered from some guy via Giuliani to the NY Post?
Even Fox and WSJ turned the story down due to its sketchy provenance.
-
It was a year between verification of the laptop as being Hunter's and the Giuliani NY Post events.
Do you think WSJ and Fox would have handled it differently had they known the laptop was verified almost a year before they were offered it?
The embedded assumption is yours, that the provenance was sketchy. FBI hid the provenance, and when it was discounted as having "hallmarks of Russian disinformation" the FBI was silent.

OTOH, if the laptop contains evidence of a crime, as it seems to, would the FBI not pursue that? Especially a year before a presidential election.
-
How do you know whether the laptop contained evidence of a suspected offense that the FBI would classify as a crime at the time? It may also be that whatever suspected offense being investigated has not been elevated to the level of a “crime” at the time, no?
-
Even if the suspected offense was classified as a “crime” at the time, how do you know that the evidence in the laptop crosses a threshold that should have compelled the FBI (either via established policy or as a matter of common practice) to “pursue” that evidence at the time?
-
How do you know that the FBI did not “pursue” that?
I leave he work “pursue” in quotes because I do not know what you mean by it in this context, please feel free to continue to use whatever definition of “pursue” you have in mind thus far. If you care to elaborate on what you mean by “pursue” in this context, I will appreciate it.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The contortions folks are engaged in to somehow protect Biden are revealing
I’m not protecting Biden. I have no doubt Hunter made millions over decades trading on his last name. It’s 100% sleazy but probably not illegal which I view as unfortunate. I would be perfectly happy to see him jailed. I’d particularly like it if he and Trump became neighbors in Club Fed.
But what I’m really doing here is pointing out how much wishcasting is occurring on the right
