“A news story says this is Hunter Biden’s laptop which is in possession of the FBI and possibly linked to a criminal investigation.”

“We as journalists can’t verify that.”

“Have you looked into it?”

“No because we as journalists can’t verify it.”

"So wait, you claim you can& #39;t verify it so you won& #39;t investigate it yourselves, but the only way to verify it is if you investigate it."

"That& #39;s right. I& #39;m a journalist."

"Here& #39;s a New York Post story that says it& #39;s his laptop."

"Like I said we can& #39;t verify that. So we& #39;re not spreading that story"

"The New York Post seems to think they can verify it. Why can& #39;t you verify if it is or it isn& #39;t?"

"Because we& #39;re journalists. We can& #39;t verify it."
