Is this another reason the FBI
hid the Hunter Biden Laptop?

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 10/18/2020 8:58:30 AM

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.

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?

According to an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Black student enrollment in American colleges and universities has declined dramatically in the past ten years, 24 percent in fact, from 2.5 million students in 2010 to 1.9 million in 2020. Prior to that ten-year period, argues Chronicle reporter Oyin Adedoyin, “The story of Black college students in the USA was a narrative of success.” Judging only by numbers, Adedoyin is right. Black population on campus grew nine-fold from 1966 to 2010. The decline since 2010 puzzles administrators given the thousands of DEI officers they have hired and the myriad enticements they have offered to Black students.

The outcome of the Republican primary for Wyoming’s sole House seat was widely expected. (snip) Rep. Liz Cheney suffered an emphatic routing in her Wyoming primary race. She ended up securing only 49,316 votes, which is just 28.9% percent of all the votes while Hageman secured 109,902 votes which is an emphatic 66.3% of the total votes (snip) Cheney said she “will do whatever it takes” to deny Trump a return to the Oval Office. While she slammed Trump for inciting violence, her own words where she pledged to “do whatever it takes” to deny Trump a return to the Oval Office could be interpreted as a call to violence.

When the morality of nations becomes too inverted, they collapse and reassemble under tyranny. The historical record is clear. In 1789, the French Revolution began.

The attack on Mar-a-Lago may be the last straw. If the squad, the LGBTQ radicals, and the BLM activists do not back off, the result will be no better.

While he covers climate change, he also debunks all the other lies we’ve been fed by environmental charlatans such as Gore.

If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College, and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled. Why? Because according to a post-2020 census survey, the U.S. Census Bureau significantly undercounted the population of Florida, as well as Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. At the same time, it overcounted the population of eight states, all but one of which is a blue state.The 2020 errors were discovered when

Host Elex Michaelson asked, “California made national headlines by becoming the first state to say, by 2035, we’re not going to have any gas-powered vehicles that are new that are being sold. You can still drive your old ones, but you can’t sell new ones. Do you like this concept?”

Joe Biden's Mussolini meltdown moment in Philadelphia, which was summed up to voters with the image below, left a lot of people on both sides of the political aisle scratching their heads.

Why settle for "semi-fascist" when what he was offering was full-blown fascist? It didn't help him any politically,

In President Joe Biden’s 2007 memoir, Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics, he wrote that the late Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) gave him the best advice he ever received: “Joe, never attack another man’s motive, because you don’t know his motive.” Judging from Biden’s increasingly belligerent speeches, he has forgotten Mansfield’s eminently wise counsel. This was rendered abundantly clear during his Thursday speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Standing before a backdrop that looked as if it had been designed by Leni Riefenstahl, he attacked the motives of half the electorate.

Instead, new car owners would only be able to procure a new car loan if there are expensive lithium batteries propelling the wheels.
