I have no idea what sort of sorting method a "laptop" repair shop uses. I can't imagine it sat in a drawer with a bunch of other laptops.

"Sorting method?" Not sure why they would need to sort between machines in for repair. From what I've seen, most repair shops have a copy (or even the original) copy of the repair order the customer signs with the machine. Some repair shops attach them directly to the machine with tape (though the paperwork is likely in a plastic document sleeve), others might have a bin the computer is placed into with a spot for the paperwork to be "mounted" on the front of the bin (to make it easy to find the machine when they go to repair it or when the customer picks it up. It is important for that paperwork to stay with the machine, not just for when the customer picks it up, but also to know what needs to be repaired, what the status of the repair is (such as if it is waiting for parts), etc. If there is no paperwork with the machine (such as the customer taking the paperwork with them), not only do you not know whose machine it is but have no idea what work is supposed to be performed (disk failure, water damage, upgrade installation, etc).

The turnaround was supposed to be short though. A week or two? It may not have been clearly labeled with the client expected back quickly. Perhaps the client gets the paperwork and he would need it to identify the laptop.

That's nice. Still, weird as it sounds, people forget where they took their computer to be repaired, or when it is supposed to be ready. It is why there typically is a requirement to call the owner to remind them that their machine is ready to be picked up.
Regardless, I'm not going to blame the shop owner for Hunter's crackhead move. He's the idiot dropping incriminating evidence in the hands of regular people and forgetting about it.

Well typically you wouldn't want to give it to everyone. However when we're talking about the sort of people who can have you jailed or Epsteined at any time....you would be a moron not to keep a copy and distribute several others. That's why this guy didn't get dropped off a bridge somewhere. He's smart.
So you contact a local lawyer and let them know, or maybe you contact local law enforcement in addition to federal law enforcement. You don't go to the lawyer of a political figure that is out to protect and help them, not you. Particularly one in another state that doesn't have a license for your state.

And this is only if you assume your conspiracy theories are correct -- to the best of my knowledge, there was never any threat by the FBI. Rather, the only threats came from individuals after the contents of the laptop were made public -- it was going to Giuliani that caused threats.

That would be more believable if he told a consistent story. It also would be more believable if he had a valid reason for actually looking at the data, rather than his claim he forgot who the laptop belonged to; which makes his claims that he repeatedly tried to get in touch with Hunter in question. How could he have repeatedly tried to contact Hunter when he didn't know whose laptop it was?

The eventual deposition is going to be a lot of “huminna-huminna” sprinkled with liberal [ahem] doses of “pleading the Fifth”, methinks.

The same article indicates that he looked at the data to find out who the laptop belonged to.

Which, again, isn't consistent with his claim that he tried to contact Hunter Biden -- how could he call the owner to pick up the laptop if he didn't know whose it was (apparently misplaced the paperwork that has since been released). Again, his contradictions, and outright changing of his story, call his "story" into question.

He already had Hunter Biden's name, phone number and email on the receipt he generated.

I hereby predict that “Hunter Biden’s laptop” will cease being “a thing” for our friends on the Right by summertime.

Only if it ceases being mislabeled as :sigh:A CONSPIRACY THEORY:sigh: by the deniers (who I'd hardly call "friends")

Really? You literally have to open up and read a chain of emails to figure out who it belongs to?
It is kind of hard to think this is the existing system a blind computer repair shop owner invokes to figure out who belongs to what.

The repair guy tried for months to contact Hunter, but got no response.
"In late 2019, Mac Isaac kept the laptop and related hard drive after months of him trying to contact Hunter Biden to retrieve the device. Mac Isaac reviewed contents in the laptop, such as videos of Hunter Biden having sex with prostitutes and smoking crack, and contacted the FBI."

But at least the existence of the laptop is no longer called a "Conspiracy Theory" anymore, so at least some progress is being made toward the acceptance of reality.

The Delaware laptop is still in dispute. Sorry.

If only.
"Hunter Biden admits infamous laptop is his. Not Russian disinformation, not a ‘plant’ as his father and 51 dishonest former intel officials pretended," journalist Miranda Devine, who authored the book "Laptop from Hell," tweeted, referring to the 51 intelligence experts who signed a letter casting doubt on the scandal in 2020.

"So Hunter Biden is now admitting, after three years, that everything on the laptop is real? Bold strategy. Especially after Democrats & their media allies spent years arguing Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation," Outkick founder Clay Travis wrote."

As you can see, the denial of reality from biden is finally collapsing.

Here’s the letter H Biden’s lawyers sent the the assistant attorney general for national security, I can’t find where they admitted to the laptop being Biden’s , only that the computer that was (allegedly) dropped off was the one that held the data, (which is the only thing the Biden lawyers admit to being their client’s; not the actual, physical device).

Unless I overlooked something, the only specific thing I saw called out in the article as allegedly defamatory was the claim that Hunter was paying $50k/mo in rent to his dad. As we've already covered in at least two threads here, that claim was false.

That doesn't address my statement. The idea the repairman has to read chain emails of his work load of computers to figure out what computer belongs to who isn't tenable. His story is going to get crushed if he ever goes under deposition.

I'm more interested in the investigation into the data from the laptop that implicated Hunter and Joe's connections to China and Ukraine.

Your guys have had the laptop for two years. All of that information could have been public and well-scrutinized by now. Why hasn't it been?
