I agree: the email reads to me as entirely innocuous.

The rest of the world doesn't seem to agree, though. Right-leaning media proclaimed it was a smoking gun that would destroy Biden's candidacy. But Left-leaning media wasn't any better: to the extent it covered it at all, it was that the email was part of a sophisticated forgery and disinformation campaign by Russian state security services intended to cement Putin's dominance over the USA, with Twitter and most mainstream sources going so far as to ban sharing it.

That's a far cry from innocuous.

Seems like both sides are going wild with claims that will never be proven. Almost like they’re both colluding to confuse, divide, and infuriate.
We live in a world of tribal truths. The Hunter Biden scandal is to the left what 2020 voter fraud was to the right.
