>no one ever managed to corroborate the obviously fake news pushed by NYP.

At least two of the messages were DKIM-authenticated by an unrelated third party. Combine that with:

* The FBI, the DOJ, and the DNI all refuting the "Russian disinfo" theory

* Biden's campaign explicitly refusing to call the emails inauthentic

* Pics of Hunter in compromising positions

* The laptop being the subject of a grand jury subpoena

...and there's more evidence pointing towards the story's legitimacy than away from it. In fact, that leaves the only real thing pointing away as "it's a sketchy-ass tabloid", which is adhom at the end of the day.
