Hunter Biden Sues Former Trump White House Aide Over Laptop Data
New York Post ^ | Sep. 14, 2023, | Olivia Land

Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit this week against a former Trump White House aide over his alleged role in the laptop data scandal, which the first son’s attorneys blasted as a “sustained, unhinged and obsessed campaign” to advance an “extremist” agenda.

The 14-page complaint filed in California federal court Wednesday accuses Garrett Ziegler, a one-time aide to President Donald Trump’s trade adviser, Peter Navarro, of violating the state’s computer fraud and data laws by accessing “tens of thousands of emails, thousands of photos, and dozens of videos and recordings” that belonged to Hunter, according to the suit viewed by The Post.

Ziegler and 10 other unnamed defendants ”spent countless hours accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data that they do not own,” the filing claims. Some of the data — which included Hunter Biden’s financial and bank records and even credit card details — was stored on the troubled first son’s iPhone and backed up via iCloud, meaning it was accessed by “circumventing technical or code-based barriers that were specifically designed and intended to prevent such access,” according to the complaint, which was first reported by ABC News.

Remember when they said it wasn’t Hunter’s laptop?

I guess it’s OK for Hunter to claim it now.

“10 other unnamed defendants”

Going to be hard for them to defend themselves.

Not only that, but are we finally going to get an admission that it was his laptop at the outset. As late as last week I was still hearing equivocation on that

How dumb do you have to be at this point to claim all of the putrid stuff that has been discovered is truly yours? It is a downright admission of guilt. Arrest his a$$.

It seems we are now at the stage of — “Hey! Get your hands off that child porn! That stuff is mine!!”

Hunter’s attorneys are a bunch of jerks.

And amoral. That's why they get paid the big bucks.

““Modified” and “Altered” are new allegations...”

I saw that, too. Are the Russkies modifying and altering the bogus misinformation they planted in the first place?

The 14-page complaint filed in California federal court Wednesday

After all the Trump appointments, the ninth Circus is not Gramma Nanzi's ninth circus.

Only Republican Congressmen are stupid enough to allow this situation to rock on and do absolutly nothing.

Jim Jordan may be prompted to unusual boldness and proclaim, “That is just wrong.”

Or maybe he will initiate another committee investigation.

As a Plaintiff, he claims it isn't his in a separate suit, and in this one as Plaintiff, he claims it is his. That's a Judicial Admission that it is his. Basically, "are you lying in this suit? Or are you lying in the other one?" Can't have it both ways.

Wouldn’t the fact that Hunter knowingly signed a contract that made the proprietor of the store the owner of the laptop if he failed to retrieve it supersede a law on abandoned property? If I was on a jury, I would side with the store owner.

If he succeeds he essentially shuts down reporters from here on.

The NYT and all can no longer report on documents in their possession.

--- "Hunter Biden Sues Former Trump White House Aide Over Laptop Data"

In a quantum leap, Schrödinger's cat is now reinterpreted into Hunter's Laptop which "is" of two states, not his when it is to be denied, and his when it is to be actionable for his own purposes.

This explains the genius of BJ Clinton's "it depends on what the meaning of "is" is," about as self-referential a word game as there is. Or "is." Except when it isn't.

Permanent Damage to the Judiciary.

Someone of stature needs to stand up and tell the Judges to stop this Sh#t before the Judiciary becomes a joke like the FBI.

51 US intelligence operatives already tried that.
