A mistake for him, or for his father?

Maybe Biden and Co. think Republicans have incontrovertible evidence that itâs Hunterâs laptop and data, and that itâs damning.
If so tho, itâs taking Republicans a surprising amount of time to do anything with or about it.

The republicans are holding off until Trump gets indicted for something, then theyâll press charges against Hunter Biden. Thats my theory anyway

I donât think they are admitting that.
IANAL, but the counterclaim filing seems to boil down to:
- John Paul Mac Isaac said these things.
- The New York Post published these other things.
- Other people and publications said and wrote other things.
- True, Hunter never paid any repair invoice.
- Other than the obvious, Hunter Biden doesnât admit to jack-shit.
- By what Mac Isaac has claimed, he invaded Hunterâs privacy and wrongfully shared his personal data for political purposes.
- Oh yeah, and we reserve the right to completely revise our case from whatâs learned during discovery.
The discovery process should be fun.

Yeah, this could just as easily be a legal wedge to force Mac Issac to admit that he never had Hunterâs laptop to begin with under oath in a public venue. And who paid him to commit that fraud.

Blind Pew Mac Issac is the weakest link. If itâs shown that there was no Hunter laptop, then they can explore where the real emails and videos came from.

Could be much like the Hillary Clinton email shit⌠that they know they have nothing that can get him in any real legal trouble, but they keep hyping it up anyways as red meat for the baseâŚ

Even if itâs purely fabricated, there were things on that laptop that were just plain illegal, IIRC. Everyone in the chain would be subject to prosecution.

These are just my impressions and thoughts, IANAL, please see a doctor if pain persists, past performance is no indication of future performance, etc.
- If he was claiming it wasnât his laptop, then he has no legal standing. Itâs slander and lies, but he doesnât get to claim that any of it is legally protected if heâs claiming that it isnât his.
- If I understand correctly, heâs not claiming âthis is definitely mine and everything on it is trueâ, heâs claiming âyou keep saying itâs mine, and I canât verify that or not, but you keep saying it is, so, OK, fine âitâs mineâ: why are you holding on to it then? Isnât that theft? If itâs evidence of a crime, why donât the police have it? Isnât that obstruction of justice? Itâs got to be one, the other, or both. Iâm just following the logical consequences of what you dickheads are stating. You remember what consequences are, right?â
- Whether itâs his or not, these sociopaths have had it and been mining it for anything they can find for, what, years now? It is, one might say, slightly compromised as evidence by now. Do you trust them not to have just made shit up and stuffed it in there? What I want to know is why they havenât been more creative. Where is the kiddy porn? Where are the Venmo receipts for human trafficking? Where is the 50 Shades fanfic?
- Everyone agrees, it seems, that Hunterâs a bit of a dick. Maybe even a criminal one. But thatâs not what these people have been pushing, theyâve been pushing that thereâs a Federal coverup of his egregious crimes, which would implicate Joe. Only their evidence for this is a putative laptop with putative evidence that they wonât allow anyone who isnât them to forensically examine. No evidence, no investigation, fuckers. (Which is to say, they wonât allow it to be examined, they say, because they donât trust it not to be covered up, which means it wonât be examined, which is evidence of a cover-up: heads they win, tails civil society loses.)
- Because of see above, nothing thatâs said to be from the laptop can be trusted on its face, and Hunter and his legal team have nothing to lose and potentially some legal leverage to gain by saying âyou keep saying itâs mine, so that must mean itâs mine, and that comes with rights and protections you fuckers.â

Isnât there a chain of custody issue that means nothing on the laptop would be admissible in court anyway?

But itâs kinda Schroedingerâs standing. As long as the defendant in this lawsuit says itâs HBâs laptop, HB has standing. If the defendant says, âoopsies, thatâs not HBâs laptop!â when under oath, then HB can go after them for slander/defamation/fraud/whatever. And Mac Isaac becomes witness for the plaintiff.

I hope NY law enforcement has prepared for Magats trying another Jan 6th when Trump gets arrested. Itâs less likely to even be attempted; though not impossible. And Trump doesnât control the NY National Guard. And the NYC police department has 36,000 officers.
A little larger than the 1,200 on duty at the Capitol.

Will he tho?
Iâm not at all convinced he didnât make the whole thing up. He released âthe newsâ about it when authorities arenât going to answer back (during a weekend), and made the usual plea for funds to fight back. Could just be another grift.

The New York Post published what they claimed was a receipt from the FBI in return for the laptop. The trouble is, I know forms and it screams 1990s. It was the kind of thing someone in a local office would bang off in Word. No one at the FBI would be using it over twenty years later.
All that seems to exist is a whole lot of disk image copies.
Mac Issacâs story of what happened to the âlaptopâ, under oath, should be interesting.
