+1 I am furious about this. Who is in charge? Why didn't Garland act like the AG and do his job? Or Weiss turn his brain on? Are we really a country that is run by idiotic MAGAs throwing fits? That is who is in charge of making decisions? |

Agent Jensen testified that the laptop had not been tampered with after the FBI took it into their possession. She specifically disclaimed any knowledge of what happened to it before that: Q. You have no reason to believe the time the FBI acquired the data from Apple, or what you just described, they changed any part of it, right? A. Forensic examiners? Q. Yes, the FBI, they didn’t change anything that you know of, did they? A. No, I have a small basis of my understanding of how they work, I know they do a lot — they create images files of what would be considered the original data, so it doesn’t change the original data, but beyond that, I’m providing what I know. Q. And the material that came into evidence that you discussed with Mr. Hines yesterday, as far as you know is the way the FBI obtained it? A. Yes. Q. And you indicated what you know about what they did with it, but you have no reason to believe the material that you just described yesterday, and I asked you about today, had been changed, altered, it was authentic as you understood it? A. What I can speak to is when we obtain the data. Q. Yes? A. It was authentic from that point forward. Q. And then when you provided it to us in discovery, discovery meaning you provided material to the defense, that’s the way it was sent, in the same way that you retrieved it? A. My understanding is you received copies both of our extraction reports and of the full forensic images of the original data. Q. I think you said, I don’t know that you identified, that as to the device, the laptop, it came into the possession of the government in December of 2019? A. Yes. Q. You understand that from the invoice that you showed about a repair shop that it was brought, according to the owner, in April of that year? A. Yes. The invoice is dated in April. Q. So can you tell what happened between the time the invoice indicates that device was brought to the shop and when the FBI acquired it six months later? A. No. Q. You are aware from your investigation that the person who claims to have gotten it in April indicates he made copies — MR. HINES: Objection. MR. LOWELL: I’ll withdraw the question. THE COURT: Sustained. BY MR. LOWELL: Q. Will you put up government Exhibit 40? So this is an invoice you identified yesterday, and I referred to, dated the 17th; right? A. Yes. Q. And you indicated that that’s one of the things you obtained from the data that was recovered and that was extracted and that you had reviewed? A. Yes. Q. And the date of this is the 17th; right? A. The date of the e-mail is the 17th. Q. But you know from your investigation that the person who sent this indicates that he got this device five days before? A. I know from the investigation that yes, it was reported that it was April 12th. Q. Do you have any notion of what happened in that device between April he 12th, where your investigation indicates that’s when the person acquired it, and April 17th when he sent the invoice? A. I have some knowledge, but it’s through somebody else’s statements. Q. So no firsthand knowledge? A. No firsthand knowledge. Q. Now, the last point on this. If the person acquired it in April, and the FBI says it acquired that in December, six months later, did your investigation indicate whether what was put on that machine in April was the way it was originally done by Hunter before then? A. I’m sorry, ask that one more time. Q. I didn’t say that right. Benchmarks. April 2019, the person says “I got the device.” Right? A. Yes. Q. December of 2019, the FBI acquires it? A. Yes. Q. What I’m asking is, did you do an analysis to determine whether on the date that this person says he got it, the data he got was in the format, content, or in any way what had originally been put there by Mr. Biden? A. You’re asking if on the 12th the person that received it? Q. I’m asking whatever that person got on the 12th, was the way it was originally put, do you know? Did you do an analysis? Did you find out whether any of the files had been tampered with, added to, or subtracted? A. I did not. Right, I did not. |

No, there isn't. Comer and Jordan have been chasing that mirage for years and have NOTHNG to show for it. It's great theater though, which is really its only purpose. |

| So she didn’t know what exactly happened to it before the FBI got it. |

And she also did no analysis to try to figure it out. |

And Hunter’s legal team didn’t do any analysis to show any evidence the laptop was tampered with. You know why? Because they would have spent a boatload of cash on a useless analysis because Hunter told his attorneys that was his laptop. |

The laptop has not now nor has ever been authenticated.
The prosecution used some authenticated data from the Lap top. Those are different things. |

This is crazy. Some random guy had Hunter's laptop for six months before the FBI got ahold of it. The FBI apparently did no analysis to verify that the laptop was not tampered with in those intervening six months - the FBI's expert could not confirm that it was the original laptop as last used by Hunted Biden. How the hell was this allowed into evidence???? |

Dp- disingenuous. Hunter may have known the data the prosecution was using in this case to be factual. Maybe. That doesn’t mean the entirety of the lap top to be authentic. |

Raise your hand if you think Junior or Ewick would accept the verdict without lighting their toys on fire.
Yeah, me either. |

Even Politico is covering it now. Biden insists he’s not involved in his family’s business dealings. But his aides are a different story. The overlapping roles are under scrutiny as the president distances himself from his family’s dealings. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/08/joe-biden-aides-family-business-dealings-00161476 |

Great, glad you've now conceded that the FBI agent did not in fact testify to the authenticity of everything on "the laptop." |

There is no direct link but it’s hard not to read something like this and have your eyebrows raised. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/08/joe-biden-aides-family-business-dealings-00161476 |
