ANALYSIS SHADOW GOVERNMENT RECORDS: THE WIKIPEDIA CONNECTION
In his congressional testimony, former senior FBI official BENAVIDES seemed to disclaim any contemporaneous knowledge of the Hunter Biden laptop probe in 2020.
He tells congressional investigators his understanding of the Hunter Biden narrative came, in part, from Wikipedia.
NOTE: FBI Insta-messages and emails indicate Benavides' involvement in Hunter Biden talking points and briefs on the laptop.
Q. And, to your understanding, what was that Hunter Biden laptop narrative?
BENAVIDES A. My understanding, and I’ll be honest, some of this came from 2 days ago.
I was on Wikipedia, anticipating what might be asked. There was a purported laptop dropped off at a repair shop attributed to Hunter Biden.
Q. And, to your knowledge, is the FBI in possession of that laptop?
A. Only because of the Wikipedia article, my understanding is, according to that article, the FBI is in possession of the laptop.
Lawyers for Benavides and Floris call their clients 'patriots' and characterize the charges as a 'disgrace."
ANALYSIS SHADOW GOVERNMENT RECORDS:
The FBI internal insta-messages capture real time communications from Floris and Benavides about the Hunter Biden case.
Whatever unfolds in court, these records are like raw intelligence, underpin the DOJ allegations that Floris and Benavides lied to Congress and reveal potential evidence of obstruction.
OCTOBER 2020:
"The same day, BENAVIDES asked the Hunter Biden case team for specifics on the laptop that he already knew existed.
BENAVIDES messaged FBI Employee 2: FBI took possession of laptop 12/9/2019, nearly a year BEFORE the 2020 election.
Their lawyers say the former senior FBI officials are 'patriots' and the charges are a 'disgrace.'
