The Delaware computer repairman who alerted authorities to the existence of Hunter Biden’s laptop sued on Tuesday Democratic Representative Adam Schiff, CNN, the Daily Beast and Politico, claiming that he suffered financial and reputational damage after they alleged that the leak was Russian disinformation.Business owner John Paul Mac Isaac filed for the suit, he told the New York Post, because his livelihood was significantly disrupted by tech platforms, mainstream media, and Delaware locals after he turned in the laptop, which would eventually become the subject of a federal investigation.
“After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation,” Mac Isaac told the Post.“This was collusion led by 51 former pillars in the intelligence community and backed by words and actions of a politically motivated DOJ and FBI,” he added. “I want this lawsuit to reveal that collusion and more importantly, who gave the marching orders.”

“I hope he wins Nick Sandmann type $$$”
Me too. Good for him and I hope he wins the jackpot.
I understand all that.
The burden of PROOF is on the plaintiff in civil suits. You need to prove injury to a jury.
Again, I do not doubt that his business was injured resulting from the release of the laptop. He has to prove that CNN, The Daily Beast and Politico CAUSED that damage.
FYI, I am not a lawyer, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, FRiend.
Hopefully the lawyers are being paid on contingency.
He can’t.
If Schiff made his statements about Isaac from the House floor, he has complete immunity. If he said damaging things about Isaac outside of Congress, then he might be liable for damages caused.
Schitff is a media whore. 100 to 1 he slandered the guy on msnbc
I hope he wins, too.
There certainly won’t be any law enforcement action on the laptop contents, though.
The FBI and DOJ are criminal organizations now.
Win big, John Paul Mac Isaac.
Mac should bank a hefty sum for his "pain & suffering" at the hands of this leftist set of felons.
The final award could result in millions assessed against Adam Schiff, CNN, the Daily Beast and Politico. They all will rue the day they targeted John Paul Mac Isaac in a disgusting attempt to protect Joe Biden and his reprobate son, Hunter.
Well one would hope that this would cause these news outlets. allegedly news outlets, to consider carefully in the future whether they want to print this kind of this information.
I wonder if the disinformation czar will join to support the plaintiff?
So his minions defamed the repairman.
Par for the course for old Mendacious Joe. Look up what he did to and said about the poor truck driver that had the wreck caused by his wife running a stop sign.
I think Joe needs help for his prevarication addiction. “Hi, my name is Joe and I make $h!+ up”
If Schiff made his statements about Isaac from the House floor, he has complete immunity.
Another example of how these detestable people get away with spreading lies, defaming people, and know they are doing it without consequence.
“Hi, my name is Joe and I make $h!+ up”
Great campaign slogan.... Ha Ha. and so true....
