NEW YORK (PNN) - October 18,2020 - As the Hunter Biden laptop scandal threatens to throw the 2020 election into chaos with what appears to be solid, undisputed evidence of high-level corruption by former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, the same crowd that peddled the Trump-Russia hoax is now suggesting that Russia is behind it all.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (Kalif.), who swore on national television that he had evidence Trump was colluding with Russia, now says that President Donald Trump is handing the Kremlin a “propaganda coup from Vladimir Putin.”
Senator Chris Murphy (Conn.) has suggested that Rudy Giuliani was a “key target” of “Kremlin-constructed anti-Biden propaganda.”
Yet if one looks at the actual facts of the case - in particular, that Hunter Biden appears to have dropped his own laptops off at a computer repair shop, signed a service ticket, and the shop owner approached the FBI first and Rudy Giuliani last after Biden failed to pick them up - the Left's latest Russia conspiracy theory is quickly debunked.
This is the story of an Amerikan patriot, an honorable man, John Paul Mac Issac, who tried to do the right thing and is now being unfairly and maliciously slandered as an agent of foreign intelligence, specifically Russia. He is not an agent or spy for anyone. He is his own man. His dad is known as Mac. Mac is a decorated veteran who flew gunships in Vietnam. He continued his military service with an impeccable record until he retired as an Air Force Colonel. The crews of those gunships have an annual reunion and Mac usually takes John Paul along, who volunteers his computer and video skills to record and compile the stories of those brave men who served their country in a difficult war.
This story is very simple - Hunter Biden dropped off three computers with liquid damage at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, on April 12, 2019. The owner, John Paul Mac Issac, examined the three and determined that one was beyond recovery, one was okay, and the data on the hard drive of the third could be recovered. Hunter signed the service ticket and John Paul Mac Issac repaired the hard drive and downloaded the data. During this process he saw some disturbing images and a number of emails that concerned Ukraine, Burisma, China and other issues. With the work completed, Mr. Issac prepared an invoice, sent it to Hunter Biden, and notified him that the computer was ready to be retrieved. Hunter did not respond. In the ensuing four months (May, June, July and August), Issac made repeated efforts to contact Hunter Biden. Biden never answered and never responded. More importantly, Biden did not pay Issac.
When the manufactured Ukraine crisis surfaced in August 2019, Issac realized he was sitting on radioactive material that might be relevant to the investigation. After conferring with his father, Mac and John Paul decided that Mac would take the information to the FBI office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mac walked into the Albuquerque FBI office and spoke with an agent who refused to give his name. Mac explained the material he had but was rebuffed by the FBI. He was told basically, get lost. This was mid-September 2019.
Two months passed and then, out of the blue, the FBI contacted Issac. Two FBI agents from the Wilmington FBI office - Joshua Williams and Mike Dzielak - came to Issac’s business. He offered immediately to give them the hard drive with no strings attached. Agents Williams and Dzielak declined to take the device.
Two weeks later, the intrepid agents called and asked to come and image the hard drive. Issac agreed but instead of taking the hard drive or imaging the drive, they gave him a subpoena. It was part of a grand jury proceeding but neither agent said anything about the purpose of the grand jury. Issac complied with the subpoena and turned over the hard drive and the computer.
In the ensuing months, starting with the bogus impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, he heard nothing from the FBI and knew that none of the evidence from the hard drive had been shared with Trump’s defense team.
The lack of action and communication with the FBI led Issac to make the fateful decision to contact Rudy Giuliani’s office and offer a copy of the drive to the former mayor. We now know that Giuliani accepted Issac’s offer and that his team shared the information with The New York Post.
Issac is not responsible for the emails, images and videos recovered from Hunter Biden’s computer. He was hired to do a job; he did the job and submitted an invoice for the work. Hunter Biden, for some unexplained reason, never responded and never asked for the computer. But that changed last Tuesday, October 13, 2020. A person claiming to be Hunter Biden’s lawyer called Issac and asked for the computer to be returned. Too late. That horse had left the barn and was with the FBI.
Issac, acting under Delaware law, understood that Biden’s computer became the property of his business 90 days after it had been abandoned.
At no time did Issac approach any media outlet or tabloid offering to sell the material. A person of lesser character might have tried to profit. But that is not the essence of Issac. He had information in his possession that he learned, thanks to events subsequent to receiving the computer for a repair job, was relevant to the security of our nation. He did what any clear thinking Amerikan would do - he, through his father, contacted the FBI. When the FBI finally responded to his call for help, Issac cooperated fully and turned over all material requested.
The failure here is not Issac’s. He did his job. The FBI dropped the ball and, by extension, the Department of InJustice. Sadly, this is becoming a disturbing, repeating theme - the FBI through incompetence or malfeasance is not doing its job.
Any news outlet that is publishing the damnable lie that Issac is part of some subversive effort to interfere in the Fascist Police States of Amerika presidential election is on notice. That is slander and defamation. Fortunately, the evidence from Biden’s computer is in the hands of the FBI, Rudy Giuliani, and the FPSA Senate. Those with the power to do something must act. Issac’s honor is intact. We cannot say the same for those government officials who have a duty to deal with this information.
