Hunter Biden seeks federal probe of Trump allies over laptop

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.

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.

Most US citizens seek for Hunter to answer for his crimes. The big guy too. Has not happened. And Hunter has no right ask for anyone else to be punished for anything when he is still roaming free.

Why is this guy not in prison?

We impeached a president for asking the same question.

Another admission, this time form the man himself, that the laptop is genuine, and all the contents are legitimate.

As if we needed it.

Why is he and his dad not in jail?

Rhetorical question of course. We all know why.
