  Yeah get the truth out there, let's do a full investigation with a special prosecutor to examine it's contents.
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.
