22. Although several sources recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there’s no evidence - that I've seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem...— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 3, 2022

Woah Matt Taibbi just broke the story that a Twitter, a private company, didn’t want their platform to be used to promote a bullshit conspiracy theory. This could be huge!!!— NSA Help Desk (@Bluemke329) December 3, 2022

Some people ask me how I did so well on my predictions for the World Cup knockout round. A thread...
1) It helps to have a keen eye and attention to detail regarding what's happening on the field
2) There's always a nice balance of intuition and luck
3) It was helpful to avoid looking at past results to predict future performance
4) Also helpful was making it after the group stage had already finished

-the Taibbi
The central problem with the Hunter laptop story is the laptop itself. From various reports we appear to have a pretty good idea of what's on it, and it's just not that much. There's one reference to money going to "the big guy," which the obviously reliable Tony Bobulinski claims is Papa Joe, but beyond that it's mostly just evidence that Hunter was a drug addict who liked to have sex and was trying to leverage his family name for cash any way he could — all of which we've known for years. I think that's why there's so much focus on the social media "coverup," because the MacGuffin is pretty thin stuff. I expect the House investigation will likewise focus at least as much attention on the "coverup" as what's actually on the laptop.

Wasn't it not even clear that it was even actually his laptop

Apparently, there is some corroboration, but that's not conclusive.

I'm fine with calling the Bidens corrupt based on influence peddling (and so was The Nation before 2020) but it's not like the GOP can make too much hay there because a) they all do it and b) everyone assumes politicians are crooks anyway so an alwayssunnyconspiracy.jpg is their only play.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Saturday, 3 December 2022 02:22 (one year ago) link
I think it's pretty definitely his laptop. But in October 2020 when it was being peddled as an obvious October Surprise, it wasn't clear and its provenance was sketchy as hell. As I keep reminding conservative friends, even Fox News refused to report on it so close to the election.
And yeah, to act like Hunter is some huge scandal when you have Jared and Ivanka sitting right there in plain sight is lol-some.

Plus, nobody was keeping Matt Taibbi from reporting on any of this at any time, if he really thinks it's some big deal.

the thing about hunters corruption that keeps it from being a bigger story is that theres no evidence of joe playing along

one thing about taibbi greewald ygelias et al going to substack is its exposing them as terrible writers

and they could totally use editors if they want they all make a ton of money but they choose to just suck instead they like it that way

Lack of editorial oversight can have that effect.

The big reveal is basically that Twitter acted like every other media company in the country (except the New York Post) and sniffed at this thing and said, "Eh, seems sketchy, we need more information."
Some lame shit. Also, for whatever he's getting paid, Taibbi should have had the courtesy to tell Musk you don't drop breaking news on a Friday night unless you're trying to bury it.

idk what the funniest thing about this is, the fact that the tweets that were "handled" were literally just leaked nudes or all the idiot chuds forgetting that it actually would've been Trump's government violating the first amendment

or maybe the god awful way the story 'broke', a news dump on a Friday night via a slow tweet thread that stopped working right away, a thread that gets 16 tweets in before revealing anything at all
