How is independent sources defined here?
Two or more unconnected people, organizations, entities or objects who have seen the evidence first-hand.

so today marks the first photos, and previously we had a bunch of B-tier sources saying Rudy told them or Rudy showed them (aka a federal crime, disseminating child porn).
i was being slightly hyperbolic with the "just trust Rudy" part, but i also wasnt far off.
you want MSNBC to run a full day pedo accusation because Patriot Guardians New Network runs a story based on Rudys word and photos they cant post but claim they've seen. but if Trump rape accusers get play time its a smear campaign because of a lack of tangible evidence and he-said-she-said.
it just uhhhhhhhh funny is all.
i mean lets be honest, u heard about this on 4chan 3 weeks before it broke and got legs and once it did even on a semi credible media source u were vindicated and now want it to blow up like a kid who found a soundcloud rapper before it had 10k followers once he hears their song on local radio. and yes, i am proud of that analogy.
But again: I did not jump to some pedo accusation without evidence, based on nothing but rumors or conspiracy theories. In fact, in the first few dozen pages of this very thread, I dismissed that possibility by saying there was no evidence of pedo materials or child porn, and nobody making that claim. As I said, the evidence came before the accusation, the narrative shaped by what we know, when we know it.

So their entire basis for making that incredible leap is that the FBI agent who served the subpoena has been working mostly on child porn investigations.
That seems like an incredible leap of logic
That's the vaguest kind of hint where there's a thousand other plausible and more likely explanations, like "He just happened to be a local FBI agent, and he mostly deals with child porn, and this high profile oddity was a once-off thing due to the political sensitivity"
And of course, this kind of Alex Jones type of wild speculation turned conspiracy theory is literally an Alex Jones conspiracy theory, as he's been pushing it on Gab
I don't see why when we've got such damning and verifiable evidence right in front of us, they feel a need to poison the well with wild qanon nonsense.
In the week after that, we found out that indeed there actually was child porn on the computer, nude pictures of natalie biden, and pictures of hunter biden nude with natalie biden, as well as extensive series of messages between biden and his family laying out how hallie biden had accused hunter of being sexually inappropriate with her daughter natalie and wouldn't let them see each other or she'd call the cops, and the biden family closed ranks to protect hunter and call hallie a liar. Of course, we have no reason to think the biden family had the same proof of hunter's sexual degeneracy we have now.
So as I said, let the facts guide your narrative, not vice versa
