Questioning the FBI a user wrote, 'Why aren’t the American people in possession of the information on Hunter Biden’s laptop? The FBI is running a protection racket'

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized Democratic Presidential candidate, Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden's laptop and has confirmed that the emails are 'authentic', while dismissing earlier claims that they are part of a Russia disinformation campaign.

Senior federal officials told Fox News on Tuesday, October 20, that the bureau is now in possession of the laptop that allegedly had emails that could purportedly implicate Joe Biden in his son's international business dealings during his time as VP. According to the news report, "Insiders said both the FBI and the Department of Justice have concurred with National Intelligence John Ratcliffe's assessment on Monday that there is no evidence to support the files are part of a Russian disinformation scheme."

On Monday, October 19, DNI John Ratcliffe stated that Hunter Biden's laptop 'is not part of some Russia disinformation campaign' as he blasted Rep. Adam Schiff's statement, according to which the documents "comes from the Kremlin." Ratcliffe confirmed that the FBI has the laptop but did not comment on whether they are investigating its contents.  

As soon as the latest update came in people started reacting to it, as one Internet user wrote, "The FBI is in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop, And they agree that the emails were NOT part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Joe is done." Fox News correspondent, Jacqui Heinrich shared a document and wrote, "THREAD: Reposted for absolute clarity. FBI confirms it IS investigating POSSIBILITY of foreign interference on Hunter Biden laptop: “nothing to add” Ratcliffe’s claim that it’s NOT Russian disinfo, adding if actionable intel develops, Homeland Security Cmte *may* be informed:"

While another one wrote, "If I remember the quote I read, it says "it looks like" not that it actually IS. SO, they didn't LIE straight up. These are skillful deceivers at work here and they are fighting to stay out of jail and keep their retirements." While another one slammed Schiff and wrote, "Anything Schiff says, bank on the opposite being true and factual! I don’t know how the people of that district in California continue to elect such a demon! I hope after this life he has some really good defenses before our Lord!"

Questioning the FBI another one wrote, "Why aren’t the American people in possession of the information on Hunter Biden’s laptop? The FBI is running a protection racket.seems like an organized crime family rather than law enforcement." While another one joked and said, "Surprise! The Justice Department is part of a Russian counterintelligence operation! So is the entire Trump Administration! It has been for four years!"

Calling it a good news, another one wrote, "THAT’S the good news. The bad news is that the FBI is where evidence goes to die. Hunter’s laptop will share a dusty shelf with Jussie’s Anthrax hoax mail to Fox, HRC’s classified emails, the Clinton Foundation’s financial records, four perjured FISA applications vs Trump."
