In the final days of the 2020 race, MAGA world is trying to conjure up the same event that helped them in the home stretch of 2016 — an out-of-left-field FBI investigation into their opponent

Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer and self-appointed private investigator, has obtained a laptop he claims belongs to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter [pictured]. | Moses Robinson/Getty Images for Usher's New Look Foundation.

The difference, however, is that this time an FBI investigation is not supplying the ingredients. Instead, MAGA adherents are sourcing the ingredients and hoping they summon an FBI investigation. And, of course, the new target is Joe Biden, not Hillary Clinton. Now, Trumpworld is leaning on the FBI to essentially make a similar announcement at almost exactly the same time. Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer and self-appointed private investigator, has obtained a laptop he claims belongs to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

Oh this aged quickly... turns out it didn't need to be summoned. Rather, it was never closed 👍

Nice try...geeze I wonder what Russian was using Biden's laptop?

Not this time 😄

Scum are attracted to Trump. A majority of the crooks he has hired were convicted and jailed. He and his family are more than likely to face the same consequences. He has ruined everything he has touched in his life. Get him out of our WH.

What we’ve been waiting for the October “surprise”, kind of strange that the Trumper’s would use basically the same email bullsh*t, with all the lies over the past 4 years, including using Giuliani, sad, very sad, but happy to say goodbye to this administration.

How disgusting and pitiful oh my!

FBI had his laptop during impeachment that is scary knowing it was all a sham. Trump got screwed.

Seen that movie.

How about the Donnie & Ivanka tapes? That should do it.

Exactly, Hillary cooked up a lie about Russia, got this fake dossier and then used Barry and Biden to start an investigation on their opponent Trump. Was that what you meant? The only difference is that Hunter is a crack head whore chaser that used his dad for China

Don't be corrupt, and you might not have to worry?

The more the do this, the more everybody realizes that 2016 was a con.

I wouldn't use the word 'conjure', more like orchestrate. CorruptGOP TrumpCovid

I’d seen this kind of heinous political operation in South Korea many decades ago, and cannot believe a similar thing is happening in US these days. South Korea’s political system got much better and more democratic now than US!

And both times the FBI did nothing. Hillary got away with destroying her emails and Hunter's stuff has been verified and the big guys name revealed.

All media Turning a blind eye to ongoing corruption for over 5 years is what is out of left field. Chickens coming home to Roost

In a new interview with 60 Minutes, Hunter Biden said, 'I'm not taking the fall for this! It was dad's idea and I'm not about to go to a federal prison because of his nutty schemes. You actually think I'm smart enough to dream this junk up? I'll sing like a canary if prosecuted.'

We did not put the incriminating evidence on Hunter Biden's Laptop, nor did we tell him to leave it at the Repair Shop. Grand Fail Politico🤦

Pizza gate? Brain Turmor? Emails? Now, emails again?

Do you know the definition of insanity? “Doing things the same way and expecting different result!”

Conjure...... ha ha ha

The laptop is real the emails are real. Period.

wtf lmaoooo.... You are a news organization... shouldn't you care about what happened?

Every day is not Sunday. The trick that worked well in 2016, may not work at all in 2020. MAGA world and Trump need to know this. Above that, Trump is lagging with almost 10 points right now, just 10 days before Election day. It's way too hard for him this time.

Enough already

Hillary shouldn't have used a private server, and Hunter and his dad shouldn't have used the VP position to get rich. Why is it when people cause their own problems, we blame the other side for exposing those issues rather than saying, 'Hey, jackass, clean up your act'?

Verified and proven contents of laptop. fakenews

Tired play book? You be the judge

MAGA?!?! The President himself has been begging the DOJ and FBI for this. It’s not random people calling for a baseless partisan DOJ investigation. It’s the candidate and the President. The guy who swore an oath to faithfully execute and not to abuse his power.

It won't work this time because there is no underlying pseudo scandal to play off of. Very dumb.

Trump is reportedly mad his FBI director isn't hurting Biden before the election, might fire him'President Trump and his advisers have repeatedly discussed whether to fire FBI Director Christopher A. Wray after Election Day,' less than four years into his 10-year term, The Washington Post reports. 'Trump often complains about members of his Cabinet and contemplates dismissing them, without doing so,' the Post concedes, but he is 'increasingly frustrated' that 'federal law enforcement has not delivered his campaign the kind of last-minute boost that the FBI provided in 2016.'Specifically, the Post says, Trump is agitated that neither Wray nor Attorney General William Barr has announced that 'Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, or other Biden associates are under investigation,' as then-FBI Director James Comey did with Hillary Clinton 11 days before the last presidential election, sending Clinton's poll numbers sliding.Comey's decision to publicly disclose a reopened, ultimately fruitless investigation of Clinton's emails so close to the election was sharply criticized by Democrats and the Justice Department inspector general. It was also the official reason Trump fired Comey four years into his 10-year term.Trump hasn't exactly kept his feelings secret. As his poll numbers remain dire weeks before Election Day, Trump 'has intensified public calls for jailing his challenger, much as he did for Hillary Clinton,' the Post notes. 'Trump has called Biden a 'criminal' without articulating what laws he believes the former vice president has broken.'| Sticking to his latest campaign messaging, Trump baselessly calls Hunter Biden a criminal, then turns the question on the reporter: 'You know who's a criminal? You're a criminal for not reporting it.' pic.twitter.com/Gv5l8Qb9jS| | — The Recount (therecount) October 19, 2020'Trump considers Wray one of his worst personnel picks,' the Post reports, and many of his top aides and conservative media allies are similarly critical. Trump has also publicly floated the idea of firing Attorney Gener Wray hid proof for 6 months that Biden was on take when he was VP. Wray needs to be fired. He should have been fired years ago Trump wanted this done before the primary. Instead he was impeached for trying to keep the American people from electing a nominee that was bought and paid for by foreign governments.

Trump Tries to Make ‘Laptop from Hell’ the New Hillary Emails. It Won’t Work.President Trump is attempting to replicate the strategy he used to beat Hillary Clinton. But it’s not 2016, and the laptop story is far less dangerous to Joe Biden than the emails were to Clinton. jonathanchait writes jonathanchait BORING! Nowhere near the fun as the 1st debate. Why didn't Trump attack Hunter Biden's crack addition more or his pedo laptop? Why didn't Biden attack Giuliani with his hands down his pants? A snooze-fest all around. jonathanchait that may be a fair point in the sense that voters likely already presumed that a guy whose only job has been government for 47 years who has along with his family become fabulously wealthy was already crooked to begin with. But the media censorship of the story sure helped jonathanchait We have context now.
