Yes they did. No one is claiming that these people are not spectacularly stupid. And only a fool would believe that they are not highly partisan.

The question is why did they try to suppress it?

..because the story of a man handing over a laptop for repair in a Delaware computer shop, not picking it up within 90 days and thus let a copy of the (red hot) data on the hard drive miraculously find a way into Rudy's office is so far-fetched and stupid, it hurts anyone's brain.

Drug addicts do stupid things all the time. Hunter Biden's drug problems are well documented.

Are you aware of some of the facts so far?

Quote:

The FBI seized the laptop and a hard drive through a grand jury subpoena. The subpoena was later published by the New York Post. The bureau has declined to comment.

The FBI is in possession of the laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails purportedly showing Joe Biden had involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings, according to a report.

Fox News also detailed FBI paperwork showing the bureau’s contact with John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of the repair shop who reported the laptop’s contents to authorities. The documents show that Isaac received a subpoena to testify before U.S. District Court in Delaware on December 9, 2019, according to the report. The documents also include what appears to be serial numbers for a laptop and hard drive recovered by the FBI.

Now I don't want you to make the mistake that you think that I believe any of this is true because I prefer to wait and see what can be proven to be true. That being said it would certainly seem like there is a growing possibility that some if not all of it is true. We shall see.

An honorable attitude, but unfortunately the exact opposite of what is happening. We see an incident scandalized that would never make it to the court outside of the election campaign. We are presented evidence that a third class lawyer would have rendered invalid within seconds. Truth does not matter here, it's a smear theatre. On December, 9th Mr. Isaac will testify and nobody will give a dam.

If Joe Biden lies and the media ignore it, does he make a sound?

PITTSBURGH — Shawn Steffee was at a political function in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, last Thursday evening when he started receiving an overwhelming number of calls and text messages. “My phone started going off like a slot machine. Initially, I had no idea what was going on,” he said from his home in Homer City.
Steffee, a Boilermakers Local 154 business agent and executive board member, soon found the flood of texts and calls were because Joe Biden lied about Steffee and his union supporting him during the ABC News town hall event last week. Host George Stephanopoulos noted Steffee by name in a question about the sincerity of Biden’s support of fracking. Steffee had told the New York Times that Biden’s sudden vocal support of fracking is inconsistent with his goal of ending the use of fossil fuels, and Stephanopoulos pressed him on Steffee’s statement.
"The boilermakers overwhelmingly endorse me, OK?" Biden snapped on Thursday, adding, "So, the Boilermakers Union has endorsed me because I sat down with them, went into great detail with leadership, exactly what I would do, No. 1."
Except they didn’t.
In truth, the Local 154 endorsed President Trump in a September message from business leader John Hughes. They appeared with him onstage at a massive rally shortly after. “Biden flat-out lied. I'm only speaking for my local union, which is the largest boilermaker union in the country,” said Steffee.

What's the timeline here btw?
Trump was aware of those e-mails before the attempted "quid pro quo", wasn't he?

I dug through the thread and it seems very likely. The whistleblower complaint about the infamous phone call was definitely in September 2019, when Giulianis lawyer got a hold of the e-mails.

I hate to admit it, but I think that phone call was a trap and the Dems got played like a fiddle.

Well that is true but there is an election campaign, the laptop allegedly belongs to the son of a presidential candidate and it allegedly contains material that shows that candidate to be a corrupt politician. If true it seems pretty significant to me. Of course if you already believe it to be untrue then I can understand your position. But I think you would have to be omniscient to take that position.

Is the fact that the FBI now has possession of this evidence something a third class lawyer could render invalid?

Depends on who wins the election. If Trump wins then it's history. If Biden wins, this and other testimony and evidence could very well lead to President Biden's impeachment.

"Fox News passed up chance to run Hunter Biden email story amid credibility concerns, reports say"
The Biden non-story, that even Fox News passed up?
Reality and science sure have a left bias these days.

Of course.

The big question that history will have a say in is ... will the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop be more or less credible than the Steele Dossier?

^ "history" is written by the winner, wait and see.

It's hard for winners to change historical data. Just ask Hillary Clinton.
