President Joe Biden’s son on March 17 sued a laptop repairman for allegedly invading his privacy.
Hunter Biden countersued John Paul Mac Isaac, who owned a computer store in Delaware at which Hunter Biden was said to have dropped off his computer years ago.
Mac Isaac’s sharing of information from Hunter Biden constitutes invasion of privacy, the 42-page filing states.
“No matter how they came into his initial possession, Mac Isaac improperly accessed files that he admits were ‘none of [his] business’ even though he was never given permission by Mr. Biden to access or review any data of Mr. Biden’s,” it says. He later made copies of the data and distributed the copies to others, including former President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
“Mac Isaac’s knowing and intentional distribution of Mr. Biden’s personal and sensitive data was not carried out for any reasonable or legitimate purposes, but rather to try and expose Mr. Biden’s data to those that he knew or should have known would intend to create embarrassment and harm for Mr. Biden,” the countersuit says.
“In addition, Mac Isaac decided to use the data in his possession for commercial purposes and to make money, which he has done by including portions of the data in his book and making reference to and/or making some or all of the data available at appearances he has made.”
The filing, lodged in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, asks for a jury trial.
Mac Isaac’s lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.
Original Suit
Mac Isaac in 2022 sued Hunter Biden, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and news outlets for alleged defamation.
Mac Isaac said he was defamed by statements about himself and how he handled a computer he says was dropped off by Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden committed defamation, according to the suit, when he said in a televised interview: “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. It could be that it was stolen from me. Or that there was a laptop stolen from me.”
The filing includes an email from Hunter Biden’s attorney George Mesires to Mac Isaac’s repair shop. “Thank you for speaking with me tonight. As I indicated, I am a lawyer for Hunter Biden and I appreciate you reviewing your records on this matter,” Mesires wrote.
“Hunter knew it was his laptop,” the suit states.
Mac Isaac dropped the Daily Beast from the case after it apologized to him and corrected some of the claims it had made.
Hunter Biden Response
Hunter Biden admitted Mesires was his lawyer. He said in the new filing he was “without knowledge sufficient to admit or deny the allegations” that he knew the computer was his, but denied knowingly offering defamatory information.
According to a document Mac Isaac has filed in court, Hunter Biden on April 12, 2019, asked for a quote for data recovery from three MacBook computers. Mac Isaac recovered the data and notified Hunter Biden of the development. He also sent an invoice. But Hunter Biden “never returned” to the shop to retrieve the data nor did he pay the invoice, according to the suit.
Hunter Biden’s attorneys confirm that Mac Isaac has come into possession of materials from Hunter Biden.
“This is not an admission by Mr. Biden that Mac Isaac (or others) in fact possessed any particular laptop containing electronically stored data belonging to Mr. Biden. Rather, Mr. Biden simply acknowledges that at some point, Mac Isaac obtained electronically stored data, some of which belonged to Mr. Biden,” the new countersuit states.
They noted that Mac Isaac initially said he didn’t get a clear look at the person who dropped off the computer but later claimed he was “100 percent sure” it was Hunter Biden.
Yeah God forbid a computer shop owner notice there are THOUSANDS of images of child pornography including Hunter with his OWN NIECE on the laptop..it is the job of a computer shop to immediately notify authorities if they find images like that
Let’s threaten to sue him into submission or financial oblivion.
^^^ This
Looks like Hunter is getting nervous. Maybe the DNC is about to toss Biden overboard and will use Hunter’s laptop as a vehicle to do that.
They'll get a stooge-judge like Tim Kelly in the DC District of Columbia Stooges, and the stooge will rule that there will be no discovery.
Because "the law" is in the mouth of Democrat "judges", these days.
“The new owner can do whatever he wants with it.”
Ashley Biden abandoned her diary but that didn’t stop Pedo-Joe’s DOJ from trying to prosecute the girl who found it.
A lawyer, Hunter, signs an agreement and then sues MacIsaac for abiding by its terms.
Discovery is a Bitch!
Hunter can bankrupt the guy - typical democrat thug.
Hunter’s more than a drug addicted whore monger who sells out his country ....- he’s also a bully. How charming.
Discovery will not be allowed on this lawsuit. It will be disallowed by the judge for reasons of ... privacy!
you sign a release form to get your machine fixed!
And I thought Hunter was represented by the law firm of Dewey, Dickum & Howe.
Just like cars, there is a ‘mechanics lien’ on the property if not paid within a reasonable amount of time, the car is forfeited...................
More law-fare from the left. Increase the cost of opposing the leftists and you’ll have fewer people opposing the leftists.
The MAC computer repairman will have nothing to worry about if someone will start a GOFUNDME page, and the MAGA army will come to his aide. If someone will start the fund I will be honored to contribute to such a worthy cause.

Lies repeatedly
Sniffs girls
Touchy feely with women
Troubled family

Destroy America
People’s lives aren’t even on his radar

Hunter abandoned said property. Unless they shopped for a corrupt judge, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
Looser!!!
