Through the 2020 election, Rudy Giuliani and the Trump marketing campaign wouldn’t enable unbiased examinations of the laptop computer. It took a few years earlier than specialists had been allowed to look at it and decide that the laptop computer was contaminated and had been manipulated.
If the Hunter Biden laptop computer is such a fantastic piece of proof, why do Home Republicans proceed to disclaim that their complete Biden impeachment investigation is predicated on it?
Why do Republicans insist that the American folks take their phrase for it?
J.D. Vance is without doubt one of the candidates to be Trump’s operating mate in 2024. He gained’t be, however he’s one of many candidates, so in fact, he’s on board with investigating and prosecuting journalists. What Vance and other Republicans are talking about is ending the free press in the United States, and Jake Tapper shot holes in the concept that there was collusion between the media and the federal government to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop computer story.
