“Russian disinformation” conspiracy nuts and the leftist mainstream media ruined John Paul Mac Isaac’s life.
Isaac is the computer repairman who turned over Hunter Biden’s now-authenticated laptop to the FBI and a cutout for former Trump staffer Rudy Giuliani, who in turn leaked the laptop’s contents to the New York Post. After the Post published its first exposé on the machine, leftist Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), CNN, and The Daily Beast smeared Isaac as a Russian asset.
His business in Delaware is wrecked. Leftist crackpots are harassing him. And so, his defamation lawsuit says, it’s time for the Leftist Smear Bund to pay up.
The Lawsuit
Isaac filed suit in the Montgomery County (Md.) Circuit Court on May 3.
After Biden dropped off the laptop at the store and didn’t reclaim it, Isaac gave it to federal agents and, again, Giuliani’s cutout. The rest is well known. The Post published an exposé that was immediately denounced as false. The laptop, the leftist media reported, was Russian disinformation. That was the lie repeated by more than 51 U.S. intelligence officials and every other Biden partisan in the media until the New York Times fessed up weeks ago. The laptop and its explosive emails — which revealed the workings of the Biden Mafia — are, indeed, authentic.
Unhappily, the Post “published a photo of the Repair Authorization without blurring the business name thereby notifying the public and the media where BIDEN had dropped off his laptop,” the lawsuit says.
Thus did an army of leftist media operatives invade Isaac’s shop, and the 51 “intelligence” officials declare the laptop “Russian disinformation.”
Schiff and the leftist media quickly ran with the lie.
Schiff appeared on Wolf Blitzer’s aged CNN program Situation Room. “Does it surprise you at all that this information Rudy Giuliani is peddling very well could be connected to some sort of Russian Government disinformation campaign?” Blitzer asked.
Answered Schiff:
Well we know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin. That’s been clear for well over a year now that they’ve been pushing this false narrative about the vice president and his son. And, you know, the idea that the president, that the White House Counsel and others were made aware that Giuliani was being used by Russian intelligence and using Russian intelligence in the sense of meeting with an agent of the Kremlin and pushing out this Kremlin false narrative….
But, clearly, the origins of this whole smear are from the Kremlin….
The lawsuit also notes that President Trump’s former intelligence chief, John Ratcliffe, refuted Schiff’s ridiculous claim the next day. “We have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff, or any member of Congress, that Hunter Biden’s laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” Ratcliffe told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.
Isaac lost his business, the lawsuit says, because Schiff’s “false and defamatory campaign statements accuse the Plaintiff of committing an infamous crime, i.e., treason by working with the Russians to commit a crime against the United States of America by attempting to undermine American democracy and the 2020 presidential election.”
As for CNN, it broadcast Schiff’s lies with malice and reckless disregard for the truth because the hate-Trump, pro-Biden network “had actual knowledge of the falsity of the claims.”
The Daily Beast published a piece that discussed the “the purloined laptop,” a lie that, the lawsuit alleges, it refuses to correct. It compounded that lie with another, in a headline that called the laptop “stolen.” And as did CNN, The Daily Beast strongly suggested that Isaac passed along “Russian disinformation.”
CNN and the Beast, too, the lawsuit alleges, are responsible for destroying Isaac’s business.
Media Blew It
The media’s suppression of the laptop story will go down as one of the most obvious cases of shilling for a presidential candidate since a whole four years ago, when they went to bat for Hillary Clinton.
And clear from the beginning was the media’s reason to suppress the story. Forget the scandalous photos of Hunter Biden in various stages of undress. Or his sniffing cocaine off a woman’s behind. The laptop’s emails disclosed details of the Biden-Burisma influence-peddling scheme, as well as Joe Biden’s 10-percent cut of the profits from Hunter Biden’s business venture with Chinese Reds.
If the pro-Biden, hate-Trump media had pursued the story the way they should have, Biden, already crippled by accusations of sexual misconduct, might have lost the election.
The media couldn’t allow that to happen, and so the laptop became “Russian disinformation,” in much the same way that Trump “colluded” with Russians to defeat Clinton.
And the leftst media smeared John Paul Mac Isaac, and wrecked his business, to protect Biden.
Now, he says, they owe him.
