  He's forgetting about the law's Juiciness Exception that negates your privacy and personal property rights if the tea is hot.
context: Rudy and Republicans say they have all this evidence and Hunter is so guilty blah blah
  They didn't do shit with it
  I think they like the idea of him "getting away with it." Keeps the base agitated, like Butt Hurr E Males! >
  
  Can he sue for the release of pictures of his privates? Didn’t Hulk Hogan? >
  
  Hogan won too >
  
  Peter Thiel won really. >
  
  Yes, people like bezos claimed that thiel was attacking media he didnt like over the whole thing because thiel funded hogans lawyers. Big woop.
  Hogan would have won regardless >
  
  Na, Hogan wouldn't have. He was dirt poor and no lawyer was going to go after Gawker Media on pro-bono until they won and got a cut of the payout. Chances are any lawyer he managed to get to do that, would've pushed him to settle for far less.
  He only won because Thiel secretly funded his lawyers. Which, ya know, is sorta dangerous. That lawsuit set a precedent that third parties can fund civil suits to hurt their opponents. >
  
  Sure, the contents of the case had nothing to do with the jury awarding more than what was sought by hogan, it was only because of thiel. Sure
  /s >
  
  Gawker was trash, and certainly deserves their fate. But a lawyer who is getting paid their hourly rate for their services tends to be less assertive about settling over those who work on contingency.
  Also, fun fact, part of the reason why the judge upheld the jury awarding more than what Hogan was asking for, was due to Gawkers CEO, Nick Denton, claiming his stock shares in the company were worth around $80 million alone. When in reality, his stock shares were worth around $30 million!
  And sad there are people out there who think it's fine to let very wealthy third parties fund lawsuits against people they don't like. >
  
  So, we basically shouldn't allow rich people to have ethics and help when they see a wrong.  Got it. >
  
  Do…. Do you know who Peter Theil is? >
  
  Ah, the infamous laptop that they can't get any incriminating evidence other than pictures of his junk off of, huh? If the Republicans had anything of interest on the laptop, they would be screaming it from the rooftops. >
  
  They also have video of him high and doing drugs, but it's illegally stolen, so they really shouldn't have any of it. None of it is legal to be public. >
  
  Didn't repair shop owner have a policy that stuff left in his shop and not claimed after X amount of time becomes his?
  I think I remember reading that which could be one reason Hunter hasn't sued until now. The privacy angle is somewhat mitigated if that was part of the repair contract.
  Could make things sticky in court...but then again Rudy leaks sticky shit so it was always going to be sticky >
  
  I believe there’s still question as to whether the laptop was Biden’s or if the data was planted on a laptop and then dropped off by someone claiming to be Biden.
  Beyond that it doesn’t actually make the data his. It’s like if Stephen King dropped off his laptop and didn’t come back, it doesn’t make the book he was writing on it the property of the shop owner to be released >

  Guarantee you lawyers for Rudy and the shop owner will argue that point tho. Probably before a judge in a motion to dismiss.
  Common sense says that's not their data but I bet they get real weedsy with the law >
  
  The shit republicans are mentioning has no real political importance. It’s just a bunch of “look at him doing drugs or naked”. 
  Who gives a shit? >
  
  You don't suppress things with no political importance >
  
  You do when they are clearly bullshit attempts at ginning up a fake october surprise.
  Country is too important to let fascists screw elections with last minute lies. >
  
  Anything that can change elections has political importance surely? >
  
  Yes, but the reality is that it should not be OK for a foreign government or fascist party to wait till days before an election to drop a fake story to cheat the outcome.
  The news surpressed the laptop because it was BULLSHIT.
  It is not a better world for the news to report clear bullshit even when it will swing an election. I am very glad they did not let that absolutely bullshit tale of lies get any traction. >
  
  So you don't believe in democracy, which is fine
  tis a silly system >
  
  Does anyone realize Hunter Biden has never held any public office?
  Who gives a f what's on his laptop? >
  
  He's forgetting about the law's Juiciness Exception that negates your privacy and personal property rights if the tea is hot. >
  
  And this is covered by the "Juicy Juicy" part of the Juiciness Exception. >
  
  Now you’re talking. Indict these motherfuckers. >
  
  Good for him, time to fight back. >
  
  Yeah get the truth out there, let's do a full investigation with a special prosecutor to examine it's contents. >
  
  The FBI looked at the laptop in 2019 and decided then it was bullshit and probably had something to do with Russian intelligence. >
  
  There you go! Take the dick pics away from the pricks. >
  
  Republicans are too busy “weaponizing”Hunter’s dick pics in their after-hour hookups. >
  
  And the turn tables. >
  
  Hunter swinging some dick. Good to see. >
  
  So, umm…. Like is the laptop actually real?  Asking for an idiot.. >
  
  There should be a huge problem with the chain of custody. >
  
  Is he even a political figure? >
  
  Can’t blame him >
  
  Holy shit. The laptop and the contents on that laptop are now legit? >
  
  The most plausible situation has been that it was hacked material burned onto a laptop. Because the repair guy could not tell if Hunter dropped it off and claims he is blind. Secondly, if Hunter committed crime why did he give it to Rudy Gulliani who held it for over a year and shared it with others before handing it to law enforcement. 
  Irrelevant of the above, the FBI has it and will make the determination if it’s legitimate or if any crime was committed. 
  But it does not change the fact that Fox news and others basically published his stolen materials. Including illicit photos aka a big no no. >
  
  The most damning aspect of their whole narrative is, if it was so incriminating, why didn't they act when they were in power? Like the right wing fucks controlled all aspects of government when the "story" first popped up. They threw out ridiculous shit like it got lost in the mail. They just trot out the laptop whenever they need a distraction and their dipshit base has a pavlovian response to the drama. Fucking sad >

  Exactly. Barr gave the green light to investigate the Mueller investigation after an OIG and Senate investigation has already found no wrongdoing on the part of anyone except for Trump. He 100% would have entertained an investigation into Hunter Biden and the "Big Guy" if it were even remotely incriminating or even politically possible to spin as remotely incriminating.
  Since that wasn't an option, they released bits and pieces and left it to the Qnuts to fill in the blanks with conspiratorial bullshit. >
  
  It's almost like right wing dipshits have an attention/memory span of 14 days at most and crave that "own the libs" headline hit in their circle jerk media bubble >
  
  Good. Time to fight back. >
  
  Ain't this about three years too late? >
  
  Good.  Ignoring this batshit nonsense hasn't made them stop.  If anything, this crap grabs just enough independents who don't pay enough attention to make a difference in elections.  Attacking this bullshit head-on might have to be the strategy. >
  
  Non story >
  
  Well I guess that confirms that the laptop is his. >
  
  You missed the point.  The laptop never was dropped off at the repair shop. It was downloaded remotely by hackers and loaded onto a new laptop.  The pressure on the shop owner is to get him to admit it was all a lie, nobody would give a shirt about him if the story had actually happened this way. >
  
  
  It was downloaded remotely by hackers and loaded onto a new laptop
  
  There is zero evidence that this is the case, no need to spread misinformation. >
  
  I literally don't give a flying fork whether you believe it, that's what the FBI says happened. >
  
  
  that's what the FBI says happened
  
  Nope
  
  The analysis found that people other than Biden had created six new folders on the drive over a week after the original report by the New York Post and months after the laptop had been taken into FBI custody >
  
  Rudy and Republicans say they have all this evidence and Hunter is so guilty blah blah
