Since our favorite FISA trolls are back trying to birth a new conspiracy weeks before the election (hello, 2016 called and wants it's leaked email scam back), and some sock puppet wanted to discuss it in a thread about this scam, here I am making another stupid thread about a made up non-story that Trump wants pushed. But it is not the first time this has happened here, and likely won't be the last.
So this con involves using some dubious laptop that Trump's trolls are trying to sell is Hunter Bidens because some emails (Which may well have been stolen in the Russian hack a couple months back) and pictures (that might be real or not who knows, the Clinton ones the Russians pushed were fake) we are supposed to believe have anything at all to do with his father who is running for president of the United States against Trump.
So how did this start? We could go all the way back to Putin running the KGB's disinformation campaigns for the Soviet Union, or more recent with the rise of internet trolls pushing conspiracies that eventually all wound up being absorbed by QAnon and any other brandname internet crazy, I think more though it makes sense to look at this scam the day Edward Snowden stole the data files from the NSA and was smuggled to Putin by Wikileaks founder Assange in mid-2013. Around this time all kinds of long term trolls were birthed. From a bunch of internet (free to use) 'news'-esque propaganda sites selling to foreign buyers (OANN, the Hill, the Nation, etc) to give the trolls a narrative to sell across every forum online, to BLM founding which brandname was later used to radicalize the right.
Below are some links to information I found out about this scam for people who are interested in understanding how this con Trump trolls (foreign and domestic) are pushing works.

The letter sent by 50 former American intelligence officials to Politico explaining why they believe this is Russian propaganda:
Worth watching to understand how this propaganda attack on our nation works.
Best of luck everyone! January 2021 hopefully will see Biden sworn in and we can all start to build back our society that Trump's trolls have worked so hard to destroy.

It is a shame to give this nonsense any oxegen at all, but the troll army Trump has are determined to create busy work for people in Trump's cult to have anything to bring up when they can't ignore all the cracks in Dear Leader's presidency their friends and family are bringing up and need something to change the subject to.
