What was fake about it?
AFAIK no factual claim has been refuted and some have been robustly proved (e.g. the gmail sent emails that have been published pass DKIM validation).
If you want to say the timing of it was a transparent attempt at political manipulation, I'd fully agree.
> So as I blogged before, the emails contained DKIM information, which the original reporters could and should have verified. So I eventually got a copy of the email and run DKIM verification on it. It passed:

I think he's pretty active (and well-respected) on HN.
That is, I do agree with you and your technical analysis, but don't see the point of nitpicking his Twitter reporting. I think if you're on Twitter, you already know that you're not getting every little detail of a story.
You can also download all the uncensored photos on many leak websites. The photos are clearly Hunter Biden in many sexually explicit positions (although none of them appear to be underage as was suggested by some).
I think there is a prima fascia case against Hunter for his ties to Burisma and his appointment being purely for political clout and a power move; a move that should be investigated for possible direct security risks to the American government and the American people.
