I said I want to see the raw emails. That would be enough to determine if it’s purely made up or if _someone_ actually sent those emails. Raw emails would provide a lot of extra information for almost no effort.

I didn’t see the video. Was it published?


It's a 12 minute video claimed to be in the possession of the fourth-largest circulated newspaper in the US. They released some screenshots from it.

If they don't actually have the video in their possession they are subject to a massive libel suit that they will lose.

They'd also be stupid to release a Hunter Biden sex tape in its entirety. Hulk Hogan sued Gawker Media into oblivion for doing the same.


Gawker ultimately settled for $31M which would be about 2% of what has been raised for Trump's reelection bid. The NY Post is still owned by the Murdoch family who would consider that a worthwhile investment.


Damages would be an order of magnitude higher here. Probably two.

At least the cost of the entire campaign.


It is well know that Hunter had a drug problem. It came up in the last debate.


But the video comes from the same laptop...


It’s unlikely that video was taken with the laptop. Who copies a video of themself smoking crack onto a laptop and drops it off at a repair shop?
