    Yup. If they found things illegal, they’d have to turn it over.

    But 1) it was for water damage, why are they going through his emails? It’s unlikely that would even be relevant.

    1. turning it over to the cops is reasonable- fbi might be a bit of a stretch, but sure. Turning over gulianni? That is bad faith. He’s not a criminal lawyer, wasn’t representing hunter, isn’t a law enforcement officer of any stripe. That’s receipt of stolen goods there.

    2. there’s absolutely no reason to believe those emails or any other material are legitimate. Or, you know, even the same laptop. (It probably is. It’s more convincing that way, slipping the few ‘criminal’ bits on and leaving it to be found.)

    It all goes to show: guard your data.
