    To be honest, I never believed the laptop was real. The story about it is so fucking bonkers it beggars belief. Epstein’s assassination is more plausible than “I had it through the most unlikely of circumstances, honest. But then I lost it. But just believe me, it had really incriminating stuff on it! Even before I tampered with it!”

    I feel like there is still something significantly missing from the story. Although, Giuliani does continue to surprise me with stupidity and incompetence. Maybe it really is just that simple.

      The laptop was probably real but I suspect the drive was cleared and this is recovered data or that the hard drive was simply copied illegally prior to the repair.

        Or the data came from a Russian hacking group and just got put onto a random laptop for “evidence-laundering” (whatever the term is for that in this sort of situation)
