Attorneys for Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, have reportedly asked for allies of former President Donald Trump to be investigated for allegedly trafficking stolen information — implicitly admitting that the controversial laptop from which the information supposedly came did belong to him.
NBC News reportedly obtained a letter that was sent Wednesday to the Department of Justice’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 information,” referring to personal computer files of Mr. Biden as stated in the letter.
This public offensive comes after well-documented deliberations amongst Hunter Biden’s team, associated attorneys, and competing groups at the DNC regarding how he should respond to the laptop saga. His team prepared extensive opposition research on several of the individuals involved in bringing the laptop to light.
The Wednesday letter was signed by Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell. Individuals it refers to include Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, his strategist Steve Bannon, Giuliani’s lawyer Robert Costello, and John Paul Mac Isaac — the owner of a computer shop in Wilmington, Delaware, who previously said Hunter Biden dropped his laptop off at the store for repairs in April 2019 but never returned to pick it up.
The letter noted that Mac Isaac admitted in his book American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth to reviewing private data on the laptop and sending a copy of that data to Costello, who then supposedly shared it with Giuliani.
Giuliani then apparently shared the information with both Bannon and the New York Post, which published the first story pertaining to the laptop’s contents.
The letter states: “This failed dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation, and manipulation of Mr. [Hunter] Biden’s private and personal information.” Further, “Politicians and the news media have used this unlawfully accessed, copied, distributed, and manipulated data to distort the truth and cause harm to Mr. Biden,” as disclosed in the letter.
Costello referred to the letter as “a frivolous legal document” and said it “reeks of desperation because they know judgment day is coming for the Bidens.”
Mac Isaac reportedly declined to comment.
In a similar letter, Hunter Biden’s lawyers asked the Delaware attorney general’s office for an investigation into the same individuals, who they allege violated “various Delaware laws” in accessing and disseminating information belonging to Hunter Biden.
In a separate letter, the attorneys asked Fox News host Tucker Carlson to retract and apologize for statements they allege are false and defamatory. They claim Carlson implied without evidence that Hunter Biden had unauthorized access to classified documents found at his father’s home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Since the publication of the letters, many have opined that Hunter Biden’s lawyers have now effectively conceded the infamous laptop — which has been a subject of controversy since 2020 — did indeed belong to the president’s son.
“So, Hunter Biden is now admitting, after three years, that everything on the laptop is real? Bold strategy,” tweeted Outkick founder Clay Travis. “Especially after Democrats & their media allies spent years arguing Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.”
However, Lowell claimed on Wednesday that these letters “do not confirm Mac Isaac’s or others’ versions of a so-called laptop.”
The letters “address their conduct of seeking, manipulating and disseminating what they allege to be Mr. Biden’s personal data, wherever they claim to have gotten it,” according to Lowell.
Hunter Biden has previously claimed that he does not know if the laptop is his.
“For real, I don’t know,” he told CBS in 2021. “I don’t have any idea — I have no idea whether or not.”
“There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was the — that it was Russian intelligence,” he said. “It could be that it was stolen from me.”
Since 2020, Hunter Biden has been the subject of his own federal investigation concerning accusations of tax evasion, according to reporting from NBC News.
I thought it was not his. Hmmmmm
Any information obtained to involves “national security” to include conspiring with a foreign country/person(s) to utilize classified information for the purpose of personal gain/harm the USA government does need to be investigated/make the public aware in order to be more transparent.
When Hunter Biden left the laptop at a repair facility he signed a work order. Failure to return to the shop and retrieve it left the laptop to become property of the repair facility in its ENTIRETY.
The new owner reviewed the contents and found criminal information on the laptop. He then copied the contents to assure protection of the information and turned it over to the FBI. The FBI PROTECTED Hunter Biden because his father was up for election and the FBI WANTED Biden to win. Had they released the information Biden would NOT have won election at all.
When the FBI failed to arrest and prosecute, the owner of the information released it to the public domaine.The fact is that every bit of data on that laptop is the property of the repair facility by law. It makes no difference that Hunter Biden claims copyright. Copyright requires that the information be PUBLISHED to be protected. Not publishing precludes copyright protection to begin with. It was never published by Hunter Biden therefore can not be protected as property. Failure to retrieve the property delivered its ownership to the repair shop. QED, there is no legal claim that can possibly win in court, especially since the information on the laptop proves illegal activity and possible conspiracy.
No jury will uphold Hunter Biden’s claim UNLESS trial is held in Washington DC.
Even if it is his laptop, there isn’t anything on it except him trying to hustle deals. Lame. It’s not like he receives billions from the Saudi government. That was that jar of Vasoline, Kushner.
“isn’t anything on it”
The 634 page, fully referenced Marco Polo Group forensic laptop report abundantly demonstrates otherwise.
51 former intelligence officials ruined their reputations by preposterously alleging that the easily verifiable laptop contents were fake because there wasn’t anything on it?
“It was fake” mass media campaign for years and now that Hunter implies it was real then “there wasn’t anything on it”?
Pivot
Amen, Mr. Fox, so right you enter the White House broke and exit the White House a billionaire. Hmmmm!
Is that any different than entering the White House a billionaire and exiting the White House a BIGGER billionaire, twice impeached, and under so many investigations it is hard to keep up with? Be careful where you shine your light, because when the lights come on, ALL the rats are exposed!
Except that Hunter Biden has sued several people claiming violation of copyright laws in distribution of the information. The problem with that is that he previously denied that it was his laptop (even though that has been proven by the FBI and private forensics). One can not deny that something is his (publicly claiming it is NOT his), then claim that it might be his, then claim that it is his but might have been stolen, then claim that Russia must have copied and released the data, and then finally claim that he has copyright.
His first claim that it was not his pre-empts any claim of copyright by law,
Everything Trump said regarding the laptop is coming true. It only took the idiots in DC three years to figure it out.
Even the news media that has perpetuated the myth of the Biden family is turning against them. They know he can’t win in 24 so their slowly coming out with the truth of the Biden’s collective corruption.
This lawsuit is designed to bankrupt the accused, nothing more. Regardless, the truth is slowly coming out. Hopefully before the 24 election.
