Hunter Biden finally admits infamous laptop is his as he pleads for criminal probe
NY Post, Feb 1, 2023

First son Hunter Biden’s lawyers admitted late Wednesday that the infamous laptop the now-52-year-old abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in the throes of his crack cocaine addiction does indeed belong to him.

The revelation came in a petulant letter from Hunter’s lawyers seeking a criminal probe into what they called, attempts to “weaponize” its contents.

In the 14-page letter to Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, Biden attorney Abbe Lowell claimed that repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac “unlawfully” accessed Hunter’s laptop data and worked with former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to “weaponize” sordid and incriminating contents on it against Joe Biden.

“This failed dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation, and manipulation of Mr. Biden’s private and personal information,” Lowell wrote.

“Mr. Mac Isaac’s intentional, reckless, and unlawful conduct allowed for hundreds of gigabytes of Mr. Biden’s personal data, without any discretion, to be circulated around the Internet.”

Mac Isaac took possession of the laptop and hard drive late in 2019 after trying and failing for months to notify Hunter that the device was ready to be picked up. Once the shop owner saw the laptop’s contents — including emails detailing influence-peddling involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and videos of the younger Biden smoking crack and having sex with prostitutes and his work subordinates — he alerted the FBI.

Lowell’s letter singles out Mac Isaac, Giuliani, Costello, former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler, Bannon associate Jack Maxey, and founder and CEO of cyber analytics firm XRVision and former aide to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) Yaacov Apelbaum as parties who gained unauthorized access to the laptop’s contents and disseminated it to the media and lawmakers.

“We believe that the facts and circumstances merit further investigation as to whether the conduct of Messrs. Mac Isaac, Costello, Giuliani, Bannon, Ziegler, Maxey, and Apelbaum violated several provisions of Delaware’s criminal code – including, but not necessarily limited to, computer-related property offenses … theft … possession of stolen property … and misapplication of another’s property … Each of these offenses, if violated, has the potential to be a felony, depending on the value of the property in question,” Lowell writes.

Hunter Biden asks for criminal probe into Trump allies for 'theft' of data from laptop
NBC News, Feb 1, 2023

Lawyers for Hunter Biden sent letters Wednesday requesting investigations into allies of former President Donald Trump who they say trafficked in stolen information from his laptop — a dramatic shift in strategy for the president’s son after years of GOP attacks.

Among the letters, obtained by NBC News, was one sent Wednesday to the Justice Department's National Security Division asking for an investigation into "individuals for whom there is considerable reason to believe violated various federal laws in accessing, copying, manipulating, and/or disseminating Mr. Biden’s personal computer data," including Rudy Giuliani, who was Trump's lawyer at the time.

Hunter Biden lawyers wrote a similar letter to the Delaware attorney general's office, requesting a probe into the same people for allegedly violating "various Delaware laws" in accessing Biden's information from what Trump called "the laptop from hell."

Biden has largely kept a low profile during the years of stories — Trump would question "Where's Hunter?" during campaign rallies in the 2020 election — but a person familiar with the first son's strategy told NBC he's had enough.

"This marks a new approach by Hunter Biden and his team. He is not going to sit quietly by as questionable characters continue to violate his rights and media organizations peddling in lies try to defame him,” the person said.

[...]

It accused Mac Isaac and others of “theft of computer services” and Giuliani and others of “possession of stolen property.”

A representative for Giuliani said in a statement to NBC News: “The work order is as clear as it can be. The laptop became abandoned property under John Mac Isaac’s control. Raising concerns now, after so many years, indicates just how devastating the texts and videos from Hunter’s laptop truly are.”

Also singled out in the letters is former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who claimed in September 2020 that he "possessed a copy of Mr. Biden’s computer data." The letter says he and others "accessed the hard drive’s contents at different points, without authorization from the owner."

Reached for comment Wednesday, Bannon responded in part, “I thought Biden told us it was all Russian disinformation."

While Biden has previously deflected comment about whether the various emails and pictures were legitimate, the letters seem to acknowledge that at least some are — but they said Biden is unsure of how much.

Nope. It says so right on my wall... Leave your machine here for 90 days it becomes the property of the proprietor, and will be sold to cover my investment  in labor and parts into that machine.

Leave it here with no communication, and it becomes MINE. It is called a mechanic's lean, and it is bulletproof.

Hunter Biden is going on the offense, with his lawyers now asking the Justice Department to investigate Donald Trump's allies, who peddled his laptop's hard drive to media outlets in the run-up to the 2020 election.

The first son's lawyer Abbe Lowell asked the DOJ to probe former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, campaign lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani's lawyer and the owner of the Wilmington computer repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, who obtained the laptop in April 2019.

Using passages from Mac Isaac's book, American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth, Lowell notes that the repair man sent a copy of the laptop data to Giuliani's lawyer Robert Costello, who turned it over to the ex-mayor, who at the time was pushing discredited theories about the younger Biden.

 ‘Desperate’ Hunter Biden trying to shirk blame for laptop crimes, lawyer says
By Miranda Devine and

First son Hunter Biden wants to duck responsibility for his own wrongdoing by sicking Delaware and federal law enforcement on the computer repair shop owner who blew the whistle on the infamous “laptop from hell,” a lawyer for John Paul Mac Isaac told The Post Thursday.

Mac Isaac, who owned The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del., was accused by Hunter’s lawyer of “unlawfully” accessing the now-52-year-old’s personal data after the laptop was abandoned at his store in 2019.

The Biden scion’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, fired off a pair of letters on Wednesday urging prosecutors to probe Mac Isaac and others, including former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, for spreading the laptop’s sordid contents publicly — only to continue to deny the laptop belonged to Hunter a day later.

“Hunter’s current actions are desperate attempts to continue to blame everyone else for his own actions,” Mac Isaac’s attorney, Brian Della Rocca, told The Post.

Della Rocca insisted that Mac Isaac became the legal owner of the laptop after Biden’s son dropped it off to be repaired in April 2019 — but failed to return to reclaim it despite attempts by Mac Isaac to contact him.

“When Hunter signed the work order, he gave authorization to John Paul to access the information on the laptop in order to recover the data,” Della Rocca said.

 Hunter Biden’s ridiculous legal letter trying to distract from real scandal — Joe Biden
By Andrew C. McCarthy   
February 2, 2023 1:18pm

Let’s keep our eye on the ball, kids. Hunter Biden is a sideshow.

There is only one question that matters, one question that ought to be riveting our attention, and Congress’ attention, regarding what is deceptively labeled the “Hunter” Biden investigation: When President Barack Obama made his vice president, Joe Biden, the point man for US policy regarding such authoritarian, anti-American regimes as China and Russia, and such notoriously corrupt regimes as Ukraine, why did agents of those regimes believe it was in their interest to pay millions of dollars to the Biden family?

The president’s troubled, unstable son is beside the point, except to the extent that his supposed business acumen was the pretext for these money flows.

What we need to know is: What did the Chinese believe they were buying?

Hunter is in the news, playing the victim, trying to make it all about him. In this, he’s got a lot in common with the Biden administration, which would have you believe that the Justice Department’s seemingly endless criminal investigation is all about Hunter, not about President Biden’s knowledge of and participation in the lucrative Biden family business of cashing in on his political influence.

These are quite intentional distractions.
