IIRC, it turned out in the end that the NYPD never actually had the laptop. It was a rumour spread by Eric Prince IIRC.

The Feds got the laptop from Weiner's attorney, not from NYPD.

But thanks for posting this anyway, @letsdothis2, interesting.

I'd like to ask you to please check the facts re the NYPD having the laptop, and finding an additional source that would correct the old voat post you have been linking (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1470050).

Yes, I will update. But need to clarify something before I walk into my own storm..

it turned out in the end that the NYPD never actually had the laptop. It was a rumour spread by Erik Prince IIRC.

Are you saying that this was disinformation from the Trump administration?

I am saying it looks like Erik Prince might have deliberately spread disinfo. No more, no less.

How much fucking confirmation bias must you have for this?

22/9 Daily mail carries a story with a whole bunch of sexting data from THE GIRLS phone

Weiner panics, 23/9 gives his hardware to Granite

The warrant is issued on 26/9 . It does say 'any law enforcement officer' - so I take that to mean it is possible the NYPD did the raid on Granite, not FBI

BUT The NY Post and Washington Post put out stories on 30/9 saying FBI has the laptop, and there's Hillary emails on it

thats a 4 day window in which they have to 1) execute the raid 2) take it back to the NYPD cop shop 3) get authority to check its contents 4) surrender it to the FBI 5) FBI assesses its contents 6) report on that to the Media

i suppose its possible, just, but that's a very narrow time frame

but I keep coming back to this: We have no public statement DIRECTLY from NYPD corroborating Eric Prince's claim, and Eric is one dodgy motherfucker. Every other person who repeated the 'insurance file' claim is downstream from Eric Prince, no independent verification

Now, when the 'Steele Dossier' paid for by Hillary is the only sole piece of evidence of 'muh collusion' and Robert Mueller hasnt substantiated it from ANY OTHER INDEPENDENT source, I roll my eyes at those who still push the collusion narrative

applying the same standard of evidence, I roll my eyes at the 'insurance file' claims because we similarly have no independent verification of Eric Prince's claims, and we have very solid evidence showing that the window of opportunity for the NYPD AT BEST was very, very, narrow

NYPD SVU were looking into it because of what was disclosed to Daily Mail.

and the Victim was in NORTH CAROLINA - this means the NYPD may have been compromising the case if they looked into it because of their Jurisdiction Limitation - so it would have been wiser for them to leave it to the Feds anyway

Occams razor still tells us the greater likelihood that NYPD never had it
