Hunter Biden seeks federal probe of Trump allies over laptop
AP via ABC 'News' ^ | 2/01/23 | Eric Tucker

WASHINGTON -- A lawyer for President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, asked the Justice Department in a letter Wednesday to investigate close allies of former President Donald Trump and others who accessed and disseminated personal data from a laptop that a computer repair shop owner says was dropped off at his Delaware store in 2019.

**SNIP**

The letter cites passages from Mac Isaac's book in which he admitted reviewing private and sensitive material from Biden's laptop, including a file titled “income.pdf.” It notes that Mac Isaac sent a copy of the laptop data to Giuliani's lawyer, Robert Costello, who in turn shared it with Giuliani, a close ally of Trump's who at the time was pushing discredited theories about the younger Biden.

Giuliani provided the information to a reporter at the New York Post, which first wrote about the laptop, and also to Bannon, according to the letter. Hunter Biden never consented to any of his personal information being accessed or shared in that manner, his lawyer says.

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

Mac Isaac declined to comment when reached by The Associated Press on Wednesday evening. Costello, asked to comment on behalf of him and Giuliani, called the letter “a frivolous legal document” and said it “reeks of desperation because they know judgment day is coming for the Bidens."

The letter to the Justice Department was addressed to its top national security official, Matthew Olsen.

“...and manipulation of Hunter Biden’s private parts...”

FIXED!

PLEASE! No more photos! Ugh! Hasn’t America suffered enough?

My opinion? The fact that this pig is even going to be defended, and it’s hitting the news, makes me think the long and extra sharp knives really ARE out for Brandon these days.

The Enemy Media kept all of this hush-hush during the STOLEN election; they’ll be using it as cover!

“WHAT? We didn’t know about ANY of this! There’s no WAY we worked to manipulate how people VOTED!”

*SPIT*

Why has he not been arrested yet?

Really two answers for that. 1) His father is a high powered Democrat 2) Our government is corrupt and only prosecutes and/or investigates and/or makes incriminating stuff up about and against Republicans. Given this, I would hope that the Republican House investigates this as if their lives depended on it.

Reminds me of the drug dealer calling the police because someone stole his drugs and he wants them arrested.

“”The letter to the Justice Department was addressed to its top national security official, Matthew Olsen. It cites possible violations of statutes prohibiting the unauthorized access of a computer or stored electronic communication, as well as the transport of stolen data across state lines and the publication of restricted personal data with the intent to intimidate or threaten.””

Do they make this up as they go along? Whoever heard of a law prohibiting stolen data from crossing state lines? It’s not a person for goodness sake.

“”exposure, exploitation, and manipulation of Mr. Biden’s private and personal information,””

If there is anything more that isn’t known about Hunter Biden, let’s hope we don’t learn of it. What IS known is sick enough!

Why is this guy not in prison?

Biden's kid is not like us. He's well connected, has money, and access to influence and power. The government is only concerned about you, not one of their own insiders.

The rest of us are subject to any punishment those in government feel like dispensing.

Like them throwing people in cages for years, just for walking through the Capitol. Spies, cheats, embezzlers, traitors and those who attempted to undermine, compromise and overthrow a legitimate president, is all perfectly A-OK.

Once he abandoned the laptop it became the property of the shop owner

True dat. They had the screeching Harridan from The Five on with Harris Falkner this morn., and the little New York Publisher dude, Charlie,too, and he and each and every guest spoke in favor of the laptop's definite owner, i.e, the shop owner.

Daddy. They’re exposing our grift. Make the bad men go away, daddy. Have our spooks make them go away with extreme prejudice, daddy. Or at least “investigate” them.

[ It’s not Hunter Biden’s laptop anymore. He gave up his ownership interest in it when he abandoned it at the repair shop.

Biden has no standing to call for legal action over its contents.

You really think that will stop them from trying and using the media shitshow for political points?

note to self:

I better be careful criticizing the F-Bee-eye

I got an email that I just got banned for life from Twitter, I havent been to Twitter since I signed up many many years ago. The email said the post will be left to view bu I cannot go to twitter and see what it was but I can appeal to the A.I. bots for mercy

I read that the FIB has the keys to go in to FB or Twitland and post under a persons name without even changing passwords
