I've pulled together what we can learn from the October 22, 2020 CYA memo on the Hunter Biden laptop. Hoping some tech folks, esp @malwarejake and @matthew_d_green can review it to see if they can figure out why FBI had to install laptop hard drive in new laptop to get an image of it.

DO NOT ENRAGE TRIAL KEN
Serious Trouble episode (with a re-recorded section after settlement) about Dominion dropping today. We didn’t talk about:

Shrugging in the shadow of a monster
