I'm going to preface this by saying I used to both work in and later run a computer repair shop (currently still work with computers but focus more on business IT so I don't see much personal stuff these days).
Something I found kinda weird about the NYPost story and Rudy Giuliani's message today was that the computer repair shop turned the laptop over to the FBI. Having worked in that exact industry, we don't just turn laptops over to the FBI because there's some raunchy photos on it. Drugs? If it's turned over at all it'd be to the local police and they take it from there. Prostitution? Same thing. Just about everything else is "none of our business" and we don't "see" anything.
There is, however, one case where we are, in fact, required by law to report and turn over a computer/hard drive/device to the FBI (if we didn't we could get in big trouble): Child Porn.
Now I'm not going to pretend I know what's all on that laptop. Hell, I'm still not quite 100% sure it's even real (although the photos we've seen today make a pretty strong case). But the fact it was turned over to the FBI, and then we see Giuliani state there are illegal things on it, definitely makes you wonder if we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg here.
One thing I'm almost certain of (I have a background in tech myself).
If there was CP on the computer they wouldn't have given a copy to Rudy OR the NY Post.
And Rudy etc wouldn't have ever accepted them if they were told that there was. Way to much liability and also Rudy said we were gonna see the images.
I mentioned this above but this is probably the one reason I can see being a strong argument against CP. Either the shop made a big mistake and could be in legal trouble. Or it isn't actually CP related and it's something else entirely.
Like I said, I won't even pretend to claim I know what's on the thing. But you don't normally go to the FBI unless it's something major (like CP).
