RudyG finds a laptop of unknown provenance, riddled with likely to be stolen data, claiming to be owned by his boss' chief political rival's failson? The claim Rudy and co make is that the laptop proves Joe Biden corruptly forced Ukraine to fire someone to protect Hunter Biden's interests.
It seems phony as hell because we know:
1. That prosecutor Biden lobbied Ukraine to fire was known to be corrupt
2. Biden was executing Obama's foreign policy with respect to pushing Ukraine here, not his own
3. Other members of the international community had a stated policy of removing the same corrupt prosecutor
Given all that, Rudy's claims just don't hold up. That's ignoring other things we know, like some emails and other data on the device in question were modified after it came into the possession of the store owner. And the fact that the store owner says that things that have reportedly been found on the laptop don't match things he found on it.

No–I think not promoting a story that is likely to be false should be the default. Why should Facebook promote any story? Especially ones that follow the fake news pattern of disinformation that has become so pervasive in the era of trumpism.
