Computer repairman who claimed he gave Hunter Biden data to Giuliani closes shop as laptop saga gets stranger

Weeks before the Nov. 3 presidential election, the world’s political intrigue turned to a Wilmington computer repair shop after the New York Post revealed that its owner gave a copy of a laptop hard drive he believed belonged to Hunter Biden to a lawyer representing Rudy Giuliani.

Ten days after the election, a sign on the repair shop’s door said it had closed. A neighbor said the owner had left town.

A slew of new information has surfaced in the weeks since, including details about the laptop’s journey from the repair shop to Giuliani's office.

Yet with fears of fake news flooding the nation's consciousness and Giuliani's resistance to share the source material, it remains unclear whether the emails purportedly found on the hard drive and which formed the basis of the disputed New York Post story are authentic.

See, we all thought Trump was talking about Covid-19, but it turns out he was referring to his hare-brained schemes to overturn the election results.

This guy
The woman with the salon in San Francisco (Pelosi)
The postal worker in Pennsylvania (O’Keefe)
Hell, Sidney Powell and the rest of the elite legal strike force
There’s another example of an everyday person but I can’t think of it right now.

Was it really worth it? To just that the resultd weren’t what you wanted but you gave up everything for...what? Who?

Do these people think ahead beyond the next few months? There are some things I guess I'll never understand.

she was actually breaking the rules of her area in terms of COVID. While she was set up by a greedy and angry owner she also did break the rules. Democratic politicians who are in positions of power need to follow these COVID rules. They can't do what Newsome did just recently and what Cuomo was going to do.

I hope he sues the NY Post into oblivion. They obviously blew past any editorial guardrails to publish that story. I don't think proving actual malice is going to be difficult.

He may be sitting somewhere in Moscow by now just laughing his ass off at the chaos he created, along with his enablers in the Republican Crime Org.

All that boundary redrawing, the subtle changes in voting requirements, the Census changes, all this was part of a carefully thought process to disenfranchise democrats across the country.
Now they are changing strategies mid-stream and following the Mango Mussolini down a rathole of conspiracy theories that are taking away any credibility they once had.

No, the truth is completely clear cut. When it comes to manufacturing “evidence,” the record shows conservatives at work.
