How does the FBI 'lose' a laptop like Hunter Biden's?
[American Thinker] Some things don't make sense.

That brings us to some testimony from the FBI's assistant director for cyber-security, who told Congress's Rep. Matt Gaetz that he had no idea where Hunter Biden's laptop, entrusted to FBI custody, actually is.

#1 Some things don't make sense.

If you deny the fact that Hunter Biden was an agent of the US Government, of course it makes no sense.

#2 Joe will pardon. Done deal if it gets that far.

#3 /\ It won't.

Something dreadful will happen that will plunge Joe Biden into mental paralysis and voluntary medical retirement from office. Sympathy for the former president and Dr. Jill will be overwhelming. Flags will be lowered, Federal offices closed. The Hunter Biden laptop will once again go missing.

The Russians will be blamed. Trump will be investigated.

#4 How does the FBI 'lose' a laptop like Hunter Biden's?

Ooh, I know, with the use of a woodchipper ...right.



Yeah, that's it.

Seriously given it is a LSD controlled FBI.

Does anyone think we'll ever see the real person(s) to blame and not some selected Patsy later given a commercial world $$6 figure do nothing company job?

#7 So the head of cyber security has nothing to do with criminal investigations. He should know nothing about it, just like the head of HR or the head of facilities. Its like asking the head of IT at Ford the compression ratios of a new Focus. Not his lane. Now the FBI is a mess, but this guy was not the guy to ask that question of.

#10 #7: One would think the FBI would've first thought to verify the authenticity of the laptop's origin before doing a criminal investigation. That would make the cyber security guy the appropriate person to question. He should have some familiarity with it, at least?

#11 Frank, You are correct that he might possibly have visibility and granting the politics of it all he should. Cyber security is not really about that. They are about defending the US cyber systems. But if I was him I would have answered it a lot differently. "I don't know" draws blood.

#12 He said he had "no idea" and that's BS. Even if he doesn't know precisely who has possession, he sure as hell does have an "idea". Of course, Meadows did not press that point from what I saw.

#13 How did they lose the laptop? Simple. Put it on a shelf in a storage room and forget about it.

#14 The smug answer of "That is an accurate statement" is about as direct an FU as can be given in public speech. Public indifference to oversight is the hallmark of the protected SES, Deep State minion who KNOWS he and his agency is immune to consequences.
