Trump Corners “Innocent Baby” Biden on “Laptop from Hell;” Biden Panics, Screams “Russia!”

President Trump has compared the "laptop from hell" to the Anthony Weiner scandal.

That scandal ended up being an October surprise.

According to the Washington Examiner:

President Trump jabbed at Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's son by comparing contents allegedly found on the latter's laptop to sexually explicit images sent by a former disgraced New York congressman.

At a campaign rally in Prescott, Arizona, on Monday, Trump said the emails and photos linked to Hunter Biden, purportedly shedding light on his foreign business dealings and personal struggle with drugs, were "almost as good" as a controversy that embroiled former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, his wife Huma Abedin, and the person to whom she was a longtime aide, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"If you read this laptop, I tell you what, this is called the laptop from hell," Trump said. "The only laptop that was almost as good, maybe worse, was the laptop of Anthony Weiner. You remember that? Ding, ding ding."

The FBI seized Weiner's laptop as part of an investigation into claims that he was sexting with a high school student, and investigators found emails that were relevant to a separate investigation into Clinton's use of an unauthorized private server, prompting the bureau to reopen the inquiry in October just weeks before the 2016 election. Although the FBI closed the investigation days before the contest, again declining to recommend charges against Clinton, the failed 2016 presidential candidate has long blamed the controversy, which has been dubbed an "October surprise," as one reason for her loss to Trump.

First reported in part by the New York Post last week ahead of two simulcast town halls on opposing networks, the trove of Hunter Biden emails showed communications that critics say raise concerns about possible corruption and national security issues for him and his father. The elder Biden has decried these reports as being part of a "smear campaign," but neither his son nor his campaign have denied the authenticity of the data. The hardware also included a number of unflattering pictures, including one which showed what appeared to be a crack pipe dangling from his lips while he was asleep in bed.

Media reports have focused on revelations that have come from the contents of a laptop and hard drive that purportedly belonged to Hunter Biden. They were left at a repair shop in Delaware last year, but the owner said they were never picked up. A copy of the hard drive was provided to the FBI and to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who later provided a copy to the New York Post.

For days, the mainstream media and social media giants have been "censoring" the Hunter Biden story.

But now that Trump brought it up on the debate stage, will they be forced to talk about it?

Of course, Joe Biden claimed that the laptop from hell is another RUSSIA scandal!

Trump hit back, saying that the country doesn't want any more Russia-Russia-Russia hoaxes!

However, the Director of National Intelligence has said that the laptop is NOT Russian misinformation.

In fact...

Even the FBI said that they have NOTHING TO ADD to DNI John Ratcliffe's claim that the laptop is not Russian propaganda.

According to USA Today:

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Monday that recently published emails purporting to document the business dealings of Hunter Biden are not connected to a Russian disinformation effort, even as federal authorities continued to review whether the material was part of such a campaign.

Ratcliffe, in an interview with Fox Business, did not elaborate on the basis of his conclusion, though he acknowledged knowing "little" about the material published by the New York Post.

The FBI, according to a person familiar with the matter, has been investigating at least in part whether the material, allegedly drawn from a laptop owned by Biden and provided to the newspaper by Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, may be tied to a Russian influence operation aimed at undercutting Biden's father and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

"Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign," Ratcliffe told Fox, though quickly adding that the intelligence community "has not been involved."

According to New York Post account, the computer data had been provided to Giuliani by the owner of a Delaware computer repair shop where a laptop had been left for service last year but was never claimed by the customer.

The director said the computer is in the possession of the FBI, adding that the bureau's inquiry does not "center" on a possible Russian disinformation effort.

FBI officials have declined to comment, refusing to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation.

U.S. intelligence officials warned last month that Russia has been working to denigrate Joe Biden in advance of next month's presidential election.

The analysis, published by the chief of the National Counter-Intelligence and Security Center, also concluded that China viewed Trump as "unpredictable" and preferred that he not win another term, while Iran was working to foment division and undermine Trump in advance of the 2020 election.

Robert Costello, an attorney representing Giuiliani, has declined to provide a copy of the material for further examination, beyond what has been published in the New York Post.

Two weeks is a long time away...

It's time for the media to finally begin asking questions and reporting on this bombshell!
