  4. …do you mean by emails? I ask, because AFAIK there's exactly one email that's been validated: https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/hunter-dkim/blob/main/M... Have all of the emails on the laptop been verified, or is it still just that one?

  10. …it is innocuous, only suggesting that a Burisma executive met Joe Biden sometime through Hunter. https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/hunter-dkim Graham notes upfront: "Remember that while the email is validated, the context isn't. It's…
  11. > https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/hunter-dkim That appears to be one single email with limited context. The README.md in that repo outright states that the context for the email is absent and does not necessarily provide concrete…

  17. They've validated 1. of the emails, not "some": https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/hunter-dkim And frankly, possession of a single legitimate email's source text, for an intermediate-profile individual from a corporate account, doesn't…
