Emma-Jo Morris hit the jackpot when she uncovered the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Oh boy, did the lefties hate her for it! The pro-Biden intelligence community, the liberal media, and those social media big shots, all tried their best to bury the story. Why? Because they wanted to make sure their precious Delaware Democrat could slide right into the presidency without a hitch. Talk about election interference! And guess who was behind it all? The Democratic Party, of course!
This is the NY Post reporter who used authentic docs to report on Joe Biden's role in Hunter's business deals in Ukraine and China before the 2020 vote.
CIA and @NatashaBertrand smeared her with lies that it was "Russian disinformation," then Big Tech censored her reporting. https://t.co/cmUIcGjUxc

But hold on a second, folks! Now we’ve got multiple federal investigations and congressional hearings taking place, all because of the contents of that laptop. And guess what? It’s confirmed to be genuine! Take that, Mr. Biden!
We didn’t need some genius high tech analysis on the handful of emails we reported on; the whole contact list was there.
After we confirmed the subpoena, we called Hunter’s lawyer and the people on the emails.
Verifying the material was actually not that deep. https://t.co/dq62lnRr8A

Even though some people still refuse to believe it, Emma-Jo Morris had it right from the start. And it took years for the mainstream media like The New York Times and The Washington Post to finally admit it. Typical, huh?
Another common/ignorant/security state propagated talking point against my work on the laptop from hell is that somehow the reporting is less legit because I got the original material from someone with a political motive. I’ll make a little thread here to address that claim. 🧵

There is no rule in journalism that the motive of a source matters. In fact, most, if not every source will have their own motivation for their actions that doesn’t necessarily come out of purity and virtue.

What matters to a journalist in weighing whether a story should be done is two questions:
1. Is this information true?
2. Is this information newsworthy and of public interest?That’s pretty much it. If the answers to those q’s is “yes,” usually, you’re good.
— Emma-Jo Morris (@EmmaJoNYC) July 21, 2023
If you are able to get the full story from a source, their motivation is irrelevant.
In this case, I had the entire HD in my possession. There was no room for manipulation by a politically motivated source. I just had to make sure what I was reporting on was legit. Did that.

Question to people making this point: if source motivation matters, how was the NYT able to publish Trump taxes, which were mailed to them from an anon source? We can’t even imagine motive, because we don’t know who the person was! How’s that for a “credible” source?

For the record, if MSNBC contributor Dan Goldman handed me Don Jr’s laptop, and it looked the same as Hunter’s, I’d run it.

Thank you for this question. This would fall under “fair use,” which basically means, you don’t need permission if it’s being used for informing the public about something important. https://t.co/ikWuCyOsXs

I'm curious if you ever gave thought to the possibility that the information on the laptop could have been Russian disinformation. Or were you just so eager to get your big story?

Emma-Jo showed up on Capitol Hill on July 20 to spill the beans about how Silicon Valley, the feds, and the intelligence community worked together to censor her story. They even locked out The New York Post, where she was the deputy politics editor, from their dang social media accounts. It was censorship at its finest!
And when someone had the audacity to question if she thought the laptop was Russian disinformation, Emma-Jo had the perfect response. She basically said, “Look, we didn’t need some high-tech analysis to know what was up. The whole dang contact list was right there, plain as day! We even confirmed it with Hunter Biden’s lawyer and the folks in those emails. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!”
Some people just don’t get it, do they? And please, spare us the talk about bubbles. We all know liberals live in their own little fantasy worlds too. But if you think Emma-Jo is gonna sit back and let you insult her intelligence, think again! She’s got a lot more smarts than you give her credit for. So step aside, haters, and let the truth shine through!
