First, as a common person outside what they have already done. (Reached out to another that was one of the recipients on a multi recipient message) you cannot truly verify the validity of these email messages out side of the fact that they totally match up time line wise and contain a lot of personal emails that match up to people and personalities and other outside events that reflect reality.
To suggest they are fake is just a feeling/guess. None of us have access to the messages in their original form on that hard drive. I don't believe it is normal to provide details at that low of a level in situations like this.
They have already confirmed that on at least one very damning email it is legitimate because of confirmation from another party on that email. That is good enough to indicate there is something here, and there likely will be further confirmation from others in the days to come.
2nd.
Every single one of those email messages should have all of its metadata associated with it.
Which will contain all the message headers (x-headers)
Rudy Giuliani is a seasoned attorney. The moment he had that hard drive he would have had experts confirm the validity of the data before moving forward. They would have checked the meta data on each of these messages to confirm everything looked legitimate.
x-headers for each and every email will show it's path from who sent it, in many cases systems that processed the message along its way and the path it took to get to Hunter Biden.
You can pretty much guarantee all of that has been verified, the experts would look at the different providers mail servers that relayed the messages on their way to Hunter, confirmed times/dates in these x-headers all looked legitimate.
If you believe that Rudy got this hard drive and has done no follow up with experts with all of the data on it before moving forward then you don't know how attorneys work.
This is the real deal, and the the democrats are only going to make it worse on themselves pushing some fake Russian narrative on this.
For example, take the 1 single most incriminating email where a lunch is arranged after a meeting with Joe and Hunters Ukrainian associates. If from the x-headers it can be shown that email servers abc.gmail.com with IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx processed that email from the sender on xxx date and time, and it was sent to abd.gmail.com with IP xxx.xxx.xxx on xxx date and time and then was sent to hosta.hotmail.com with IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on xxx date and time which was sent to hostb.hotmail.com with IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx date and time before being delivered to Hunter Biden. (Everything I listed is an example, I don't recall the mail providers involved with this particular message)
If this were to turn into an investigation. They can file a discovery subpoena to both Microsoft and Google to confirm if they have logs on their end correlating these messages going through their MTA's on those dates and times from the servers I listed above in my example, and even if they don't have the logs any more they can confirm that all the servers were accurate based on name/IP etc.. If anything matches up, boom. That's all it takes.
Summary.
Anyone saying these emails are not real is only guessing and has no real way to dispute the validity without the original in their hands. And if you think Rudy Giuliani as a long time attorney has not had all of this verified as much as can be, then you just don't get how this stuff works.
And we already have 1 party confirming the validity of one of the damning emails.
- The FBI warned in 2019 that Rudy Giuliani "was being used to feed Russian misinformation."
- We know the Russians' method of operations in 2017 in France was to hack emails, leak emails, but scatter fake emails in the real hacked emails to make them seem legitimate.
- We know Burisma emails were hacked by Russia in January.
- We know that the emails being discussed in this misinformation campaign likely in part came from the Burisma hack.
- We know US intelligence analysts feared Russia would dump hacked and forged Burisma emails targeting Biden as an October surprise.
- We know the FBI is investigating if recently published emails are tied to Russian disinformation effort targeting Biden.
