That's a great name for a podcast. I just love the idea of people advising me on what opinions I should have... that was sarcasm, if you were having a hard time picking up on it. I'll give this podcast a listen, but I am going to guess that they don't actual say anything meaningful. It depresses me how far our "academics' have fallen.
Almost done, and I see the problem.
These people that advise you on your opinions are intricately connected to the establishment. They operate within a systemic paradigm and don't concern themselves with corruption or exploitation. They are 100% fixated on the legality of first amendment violation and are completely ignoring the ways in which this violates and erodes public trust in our establishment. The FBI intentionally LIED about Hunter Biden's laptop and encouraged a public company to cover up for the son of a politician. That is CLEARLY not the pursuit of impartiality or justice. You should be outraged about this because it is a CORRUPTION of our TRUSTED institutions. Anything in the name of what, Mikey? Where are your principles?

The bolded is a valid statement.
The rest may or may not be true. We don't know what the contents of that hard drive were. Neither do they, really, the chain of custody is very questionable.
Of course... it's the custody that's questionable. Duh. Silly me. I'm sure it's all on the up and up because we have no way of knowing! Of course! Why should the FBI answer questions from congress? Why should we know or even care if any of this stuff is true or not. We don't need to. We're just stupid people who can't question anything. Thanks for putting me in my place, Mikey. It's good to know that we, the people, are subservient to the government agencies that are supposed to protect us.
At some point, the average joe blow is going to have to start recognizing that the term conspiracy theorist is just a strawman. I mean, you would think....
Can anyone explain this to me? I'm lost here.

Yeah, the people you
should trust, don't..

You have absolutely no way of knowing how much the FBI does or doesn't know about the hard drive. The contents, though they could possibly provide proof of criminal activity, are no longer the primary issue. The handling of the investigation, including the questionable chain of custody you referred to, should be of paramount importance to anyone who believes in impartial justice. Unless of course, you're okay with the FBI acting as political tool.

I have no problem imagining that the FBI might be a political tool. We see that in outher countries.
And I would be upset about it if it happened here!
But I'm having trouble understanding why you think Christopher Wray would allow the FBI to be a political tool against the man who appointed him.
I also know the history of the 2016 election. There were allegations against Hillary, that the DC office did not wish to publicize, that the NY office decided to publicize. So I don't understand why we don't hear of agents going rogue to expose this misconduct you allege.
The problem is that they didn't FORCE Twitter to censor. It's going to be hard to do anything about that. Without some sort of "Town Square" law, this kind of behavior is going to be hard to stop legally.

And here comes the truth about the great covid coverup..
The left will stick their fingers in their ears and begin singing The Internationale. Or continue to consume their news from the MSM, same thing. They WANT to be lied to.

We were all there. We watched it happen. Not news.
What may not be news to some, may be news to others. And quite possibly, some may still believe that this is propaganda against the vaccine.
