Sam has plenty of rational thoughts and can contribute to meaningful discussion when he wants to do so. He isn't as bad as some of our other TDSers.Married A Horn said:Wangchung said:Sure. Independent analysis of a laptop in FBI custody. That sounds legit.Sam Lowry said:Independent analysis found otherwise.Wangchung said:Nothing on his laptop was put there by anyone other than Hunter.Sam Lowry said:It's unclear how detailed the FBI's analysis was. They determined that the laptop was his, which was the main thing they were interested in for prosecution purposes.Doc Holliday said:Which is completely refuted by the FBI...so was that analysis a lie?Sam Lowry said:I don't know that they were wrong. At least one forensic analysis found extensive evidence of tampering.Doc Holliday said:Their grounds for suspicion were falsified.Sam Lowry said:They stated their grounds for suspicion in the letter. There was also evidence, which may or may not have been known at the time, of tampering with the data.Doc Holliday said:They never had ANY evidence. That's the problem!Sam Lowry said:You're circling around two of the inaccuracies:Doc Holliday said:This email/letter was in 2020 and exposed in May of 2023. Since then the FBI has said there was no evidence of Russian involvement in the Hunter laptop.Sam Lowry said:There are three inaccuracies, or at least possible inaccuracies, in the OP.Doc Holliday said:They'll eventually concede what happened and then try to say it was justified.Wangchung said:
Almost 4 and a half hours and none of our TDSers has dared say a word.
If anyone can spot them all, let's talk about whether the email was justified.
This email wasn't justified and was an attempt to lie so that media would push a false narrative to help Joe Biden get elected.
1. The signers of the letter weren't making claims contrary to evidence, at least not at that time.
2. Nothing in the email suggests that they had a specific intent to mislead.
Take a swing at the last one?
It was corrupt for them to suspect, guess, insinuate or even say it was a possibility with absolutely nothing to back it up.
But you still haven't hit the most important point.
They can't just make a claim based on nothing and run with it, there has to be an origination or source for that suspicion and it has to be verified BEFORE you make a public claim. They didn't have that.
If they were casting doubts on the Hunter laptop, what were those doubts based on? Now that the FBI has said it's authentic, you'd have to get to the bottom of those doubts: who/what did they come from and why were they wrong?
Sam cannot have a thought unless the government tells him it's okay.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
