(17,387 posts)At one time, Republicans might have been reluctant to jump on the bandwagon of a story with such strong Russian ties. However, now Republicans are happily willing to jump on the foreign disinformation band wagon.

(6,477 posts)The disinformation coming out now was developed in the Ukraine impeachment scheme timeline. They didn't use it in the primaries as they had planned to do because of impeachment. They're using it now because they're desperate.
The laptop invoice date is listed as April 12, 2019. That's the height of the time that all the Trumpies were screaming about Burisma on all the conservative stations. Giuliani went on Fox on April 7, 2019 to promote the Burisma story, which had previously been promoted by John Solomon in the The Hill beginning in late March 2019 and throughout this period. Peter Schweizer was in the mix, too. While his ridiculous claims on Burisma were first published in April 2018, he was all over Fox News flogging them in late March and early April 2019. In fact, it was all the Fox News Trumpworld set could talk about in late March-early April 2019 - Solomon published numerous columns on it in The Hill, for which that ridiculous publication has barely apologized.
So, early April 2019 seems like an odd time for Hunter Biden to drop off a laptop with incriminating information on the harddrive, asking somebody else to take a look at it.
It seems like exactly the time when such an invoice might be doctored up in coordination with the very obviously coordinated media campaign.
As an extra bonus, what are the dates of the creation of the PDFs released by the NY Post with the supposedly incriminating emails? September 28, four days after Pelosi announces the impeachment inquiry and two days after the whistleblower complaint is released to the public, and October 10, in the height of the impeachment furor and one day before Marie Yovanovitch's testimony.
It's all one scheme.
