None of the business stuff in Ukraine is illegal. He’s not a government official, and his dad being president has no bearing on what he can legally take for a job.

The only reason republicans care is because of trump’s corruption (along with most the rest of his family.) that has the critical distinction of being an actual employee of the federal government

Exactly! They’re just manufacturing a narrative by suggesting that this guy is nefarious and doing shady stuff with his drug addiction and nude pics on his laptop that was stolen by a private company.

Speaking of which, how in the hell did the people who stole his laptop not get charged with theft and identity theft?

Speaking of which, how in the hell did the people who stole his laptop not get charged with theft and identity theft? https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/10/15/hunter-biden-laptop-giuliani/ basically they dropped off and then the repair shop gave copies to the FBI (not sure why,) and Gulliani (and that’s definitely illegal.)

In any case, there’s multiple problems here. The laptop was not last in Biden’s possession. It’s clear the repair shop opened and accessed data on the drive. Given that… it’s not useful as evidence of anything, even if there was a complete manifesto detailing plans for world domination. (there’s not. there’s one email and dick pics)

It’s funny, I actually was awarded on Reddit for posting some stuff about the Hunter Biden laptop that won me an argentinium award. I believe it had to do with the fact that an invoice was generated many months after Hunter Biden dropped off the laptop. I still wonder if the laptop was stolen, or how the hell it ended up in the possession of the repair shop and they never returned it to him.

I used to work in computer repair, and that kind of behavior would be illegal and highly unethical. Unless the repair shop had found evidence of something like CP or other illegal activity (although drug use here would count in that regard), they would try to maintain the integrity of the client’s data and try their best to return their hardware back to the owner.

A whole situation is really odd.
