To begin with, it has not come out, conclusively or otherwise, that <em>&#8220;the FBI BURIED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY.&#8221;<\/em> What Trump is referring to is a recent interview of the chairman and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, by Joe Rogan. Trump, and most of the right-wing echo chamber, has falsely reported that Zuckerberg told Rogan that the FBI had asked or ordered him to suppress any news about Hunter Biden&#8217;s stolen laptop.<\/p>\n<p>However, Zuckerberg said nothing at all about that. He <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/radio\/mark-zuckerberg-reveals-the-fbi-came-to-facebook-warning-of-russian-propaganda-dump-before-hunter-biden-laptop-story\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">actually said<\/a><\/strong> only that the FBI had warned him of the possibility that Russian disinformation was likely to be disseminated online prior to the 2020 election, just as it was before the 2016 election. Which is irrefutably true. Zuckerberg said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The background here is that the FBI came to us \u2013 some folks on our team \u2013 and was like \u2018hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there\u2019s about to be some kind of dump that\u2019s similar to that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump and his cult followers manufactured the version of that story that included Hunter&#8217;s laptop. And from that blatant distortion of reality, Trump baselessly asserted that he <em>&#8220;would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election&#8221;<\/em> had there been more coverage of his fake Hunter news. He even put that in quotes, although he didn&#8217;t cite any source for what he was ostensibly quoting. And like everything else in Trump&#8217;s cartoon brain, it represented some horror that was <em>&#8220;at a level never seen before.&#8221;<\/em> For the record, Biden won by more than seven million votes and it&#8217;s highly unlikely that many Biden voters would have voted for Trump because of some controversy concerning his son.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, this is what Trump regards as <em>&#8220;massive FRAUD &#038; ELECTION INTERFERENCE.&#8221;<\/em> And his solution to that fallacy is utterly and hysterically bonkers. Trump impotently demands that someone <em>&#8220;declare the rightful winner&#8221;<\/em> (which was Joe Biden) or <em>&#8220;declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election.&#8221;<\/em> Of course, there is no one who has that authority, and there is nothing in the law or the Constitution that would provide for that preposterous <em>&#8220;remedy,&#8221;<\/em> even if it were warranted, which is isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53689\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Suffers Severe Cognitive Collapse, Claims that \u2018Everyone Was Happy\u2019 When He Was in Office<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with almost everything that Trump yammers about these days, this is a pathetic fiction that he&#8217;s trying to elevate into a scandal.
