You mean the one where Rudy Giuliani sat in front of a camera with a "Macbook" purported to be Hunter Biden's even though it was an LG and ole Rudy just wasn't smart enough to know the difference?

I heard they'd been provided with a copy of the hard drive; and have not seen an assertion that they had anything more or claimed to.

Nope. Rudy isn't smart enough to know the difference. He sat on one of Crowder's shows and literally held up an LG and then said that it was one of the hard drives.

Just watch this little link for a few seconds:

Now, what use would be shoving a Macbook drive into an LG computer?

That clip isn't the smoking gun you think it is. He doesn't claim that is Hunter's laptop; when asked if he's seen the pictures, he says "this is the hard drive they're on". It could simply be the laptop his copy of the pictures are on.

He probably employed a forensic technician to investigate the laptop, and said technician sent him a copy of the pictures.
