### "Did you get this email from the laptop? or was it sent to you?"
The email was sent to me by a journalist. This leads to two points.
The first is that validation of the email is solid *regardless of source*. We know it was
an email sent by GMail from around that time by that named account. Doesn't matter where it
came, we can know these facts.
The second is that even if I had a copy of the laptop drive, it's passed
through so many hands on the way to me that it's untrustworthy. I mean,
if you doubt the "laptop" story to begin, I don't think me having a copy
could validate that their story is true.
I personally have many doubts about where this email came from, and the
overall "narrative" they are trying to push. Regardless, I can validate the
basic facts about this email.
