It didn’t surprise the informed, and understandably a bit cynical, to hear that the FBI sat on Hunter Biden’s laptop instead of seeking justice. (snip) suppressing Huntergate perhaps provided a secondary benefit:
The information could be used against Biden once he was in office. (snip) not only could suppressing Huntergate get Biden in office, but then maybe it’s, “Nice presidency you’ve got there, Mr. Biden — I’d hate to see anything happen to it.” Since the criminality in question could, apparently, put Hunter in prison along with destroying China Joe, the leverage is profound.

If Trump does nothing else in his second term , firing Wray and cleaning out the rest of the FBI would be a great service.

The FBI does not lie when it says it does not play partisan politics. They are willing to plot against anybody to bring them down. In Joe's case it would be easy. Agree with #1.

The new reveal of Hunter Biden and underage Chinese girls if true shows Hunter Biden to be the most stupid person on this planet.
First to take a laptop with such information and video's on it to be repaired by someone not in the clique,and second to leave it there.
Next it reveals a Chinese plan to set up Hunter Biden in a honey trap.
A National Security plot that should have gone to the CIA.
But it also places Rudy in a bad light that he held this up to interfere with an election instead of displaying it earlier before the democrats had a chance to recover from it.
Now I am a Trump man, but this whole deal is not Kosher IMO.Politics is a truly dirty business.

So kicking Biden out of office and getting a socialist to replace him in Harris, was seen as a win by the FBI? How about releasing the evidence so that Biden doesn't get elected. That's a win for the country, and taxpayers, but I guess the uppity ups in the FBI hate Trump more and are more interested in keeping their power.

I was OK with this Article until I came to: "As for following the law, though, my read on Trump is that he’s as punctilious about that as he is about germs (he’s a famed germaphobe)."
I had to look up "punctilious." Defined as: "adj. Strictly attentive to minute details of form in action or conduct. synonym: meticulous. adj. Precise; scrupulous. Attentive to punctilios; very nice or precise in behavior, ceremony, or intercourse**; exact (sometimes, to excess) in the observance of rules or forms prescribed by law or custom."
** I must assume that's not referring to sexual intercourse.
I've never thought that Donald Trump is punctilios (except, perhaps, exact in the observance of rules or forms prescribed by law. And I've NEVER heard that he's a germaphobe. Besides, what the heck does that (out of place) tidbit have to do with this Article?!

This is something that I hadn't considered, but it very likely what is the real reason that they sat on the laptop. If Biden wins.....the FBI can avoid any further investigations by using it to blackmail Biden to not only not continue the investigations into FBI crimes, but to give them a free hand to do whatever they want.

Blackmail by the FBI? Nooooo. There are all these honest, hard working agents that would put a stop to that.
Now, why couldn't that "material" be used later to create a drumbeat for resignation, if not impeachment? Nothing says the "bribery, high crimes or misdemeanors" need be committed during the President's term of office.
That Watergate era was so innocent by comparison.

Leverage is the word of the day. If you have sufficient leverage, you can move mountains. People gain leverage through wealth, connections and information. Even a poor, unconnected man can exert tremendous leverage with information. He can gain access if he has information that someone wants and he can control a person if he has information that someone wants buried. Extortion and blackmail is leverage.
Its why politicians suddenly do 180's, judges make surprising rulings, it explains why some people are elevated beyond their own capabilities and why others are brought down.

If Trump didn't already have enough reason to fire Wray, then the FBI keeping he information on this laptop from the American people should be the final straw.
As far as #4's attempted hit on Guliani, I've read no where that Guliani held any information regarding this laptop and that when he was informed about it he brought it public.

#6, I had heard that Trump was a slight germophobe, but not a nutball about it. And practical enough to put it aside for all the hand shaking and hugging, etc that WAS a part of politics.

We keep hearing about all of those upstanding, outraged FBI personnel.
OK, fine. Prove it. Stop being "good Germans" and clean up your mess.

Re: #1 - Why wait until a second term to fire Wray and many other progressives in his administration? Is there not a distinct possibility that his failure to do so as the current president may contribute to his being denied a second term?

Golly. You mean there are countries out there who would blackmail a president, senator, representative or ambassador? I wonder what the Iranians have on Obama and Kerry for them to cough up billions in payoff money?
