Regarding the laptop brought in for repair, my guess it had stuff on it that forced the computer shop to report it. The shop reading emails on the laptop to find stuff doesn't sound right. They saw pictures that made them decide to turn it in.
I'm hearing, too, that Rudy got the laptop, not the FBI. If that is true, also, it may indicate that people are worried about getting General Flynned when dealing with the FBI.
If my hunch is correct, the stories out today are the warning for Biden to drop out before the rest is made public.
