A crackhead forgot his laptop at a repair shop and refused to collect it.


Lets think about this step by step.

1. Why would a repair shop accept a repair job without the return information?

2. Why would a repair shop start snooping on their own client's machines even if they were unable to contact their client?

3. Why are there multiple disk images, some "raw" and some pre-organized released to different press organizations and Trump sympathizers?

4. Why did the FBI warn Facebook in 2020 about the laptop story to "cover it up" when the FBI at the time was lead by a man appointed by Trump himself?


You are overcomplicating this. Criminals are stupid, crackhead criminals even more so.
