Floating Down De Nile: Goldman Declares Hunter Biden Laptop May Be A Fake
2023-12-02
[jonathonturley.org] As Stuart Smiley said on SNL’s Daily Affirmation, "De Nile ain’t just a river in Egypt." Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman,
...former federal prosecutor, counsel for House Democrats during the first Trump impeachment, first term Congressman, lefty...
a member of the House Weaponization of Government committee,
...the Democrats are for it...
caused yet another firestorm of controversy in declaring that the Hunter laptop may be a fake.

That’s right. Despite media, American intelligence, and even other Democrats acknowledging the authenticity of the laptop, Goldman is still spreading denials . . . at a hearing on the weaponization of disinformation policies.

Goldman has previously been criticized for making the case against President Joe Biden in disastrous efforts to discredit whistleblowers.

As in past hearings, the Democrats opposed witnesses who tried to detail the growing evidence of a government-directed censorship system. Members like Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) continued to deny that there was any evidence of such censorship after spending years opposing the investigation of the program. Even with thousands of pages of evidence and a federal judge finding an "Orwellian" censorship system, Plaskett and her colleagues simply denied that such evidence exists.

However, it was Goldman who stole the show in an exchange with journalist Michael Shellenberger. Shellenberger referenced the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story before the election, a decision that Twitter and other companies now admit was wrong.

However, truth has never been a particularly appealing option for politicians, particularly when it must come with an acknowledgment of past culpability in spreading disinformation.

Recently, we discussed how Leon Panetta also doubled down recently on the claim that the laptop may still be Russian disinformation.

Goldman also opted for denial and distraction over honesty and transparency.

He told Shellenberger: "You’ve talked about the Hunter Biden laptop, and how the FBI knew it existed. You are aware, of course, that the laptop, so to speak, ... that was published in the New York Post, was actually a hard drive that the New York Post admitted here was not authenticated as real...It was not the laptop the FBI had. You’re aware of that right?"

Shellenberger responded: "It was the same contents."

#6  The Dems have successfully placed an asterisk next to the Biden Laptop label and will now be freely and regularly dismissed by the MSM.

#5  I would not be surprised if the laptop currently claimed to be Hunter’s is a fake- FIB has had plenty of time time to create it and destroy the real one.

A Simple Question:

If it was a fake to begin with?
Then why all the Political, MSM controlled deflection and legal maneuvers to keep sealed for 3+ years now ?

Were the LSD's stalling for the Laptop to accidentally set itself on fire while DOJ/FBI hands?

Or using it as pressure to get what they wanted out of the Biden admin?
