Post The crux of the case against disseminating The Post's story was that the emails found on Hunter's laptop may not be real and that there was no way to authenticate them. Apparently, that wasn't true. All reporters had to do, it seems, was ask. In October, left-wing sites such as the Daily Beast were featuring headlines that read, "Russian State Media Is Desperately Trying to Keep the Hunter Biden Story Alive" and "FBI Examining Hunter's Laptop As Foreign Op, Contradicting Trump's Intel Czar." Today we learn from the same outlet that "evidence of [a money laundering] probe [into Hunter Biden] was apparent in the markings on a series of documents that were made public — but went largely unnoticed — in the days leading up to the November election."
