Computer Shop Owner Who Revealed Hunter Biden's Laptop and Was Defamed as a Kremlin Agent Sues Adam Schiff, CNN, Daily Beast and Politco

Disinformation.

The Delaware computer repairman who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden's laptop filed a multimillion-dollar defamation suit Tuesday against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, CNN, the Daily Beast and Politico, saying they falsely accused him of peddling Russian disinformation.

The former shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, decided to fight back after losing his business and being harassed for 18 months by Big Tech, the media and Delaware locals in President Biden's home state.

"After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation," the 45-year-old Mac Isaac told The Post.

"This was collusion led by 51 former pillars in the intelligence community and backed by words and actions of a politically motivated DOJ and FBI," he continued. "I want this lawsuit to reveal that collusion and more importantly, who gave the marching orders."

...

When The Post's first story broke in October 2020 -- just three weeks before the presidential election -- Twitter and Facebook moved to censor it. Then Schiff (D-Calif.) and 51 former intelligence officials labeled the laptop Russian disinformation.

In the aftermath, Mac Isaac says, his business and reputation were ruined.

"Twitter initially labeled my action hacking, so for the first day after my information was leaked, I was bombarded with hate mail and death threats revolving around the idea that I was a hacker, a thief and a criminal," Mac Isaac said.

Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, "has some explaining" to do, Mac Isaac insisted.

"Without any intel, the head of the intel committee decided to share with CNN and its viewers a complete and utter lie," Mac Isaac said. "A lie issued in the protection of a preferred presidential candidate."

...

In the suit, which was filed in Montgomery County, Md., Mac Isaac claims Schiff defamed him in an interview on CNN two days after The Post began publishing revelations from the laptop.

In the interview with Wolf Blitzer, Schiff told the CNN host -- without citing evidence -- that he believed "the Kremlin" was behind a smear of Joe and Hunter Biden.

"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," Schiff told Blitzer, according to the suit.

He says what he really wants to know is who ordered the defamation campaign against him. That sounds great, but in practice, I think what would happen is that he'd be paid off to avoid that kind of discovery.

If it even gets that far. The courts have repeatedly claimed that Congressmen can defame citizens without consequence because apparently ruing the lives of the plebians is just part of their jobs. And the courts have again and again protected the "mainstream" media's "right" to defame people at will.

By the way, the 33-year-old failed theater kid Nina Jankowicz also claimed that the laptop was part of a Kremlin operation and called the abandoned-at-the-computer-shop story a "fantasy," thereby claiming this guy was a Kremlin agent, by implication.

So maybe he should add the executive of the Disinformation Governance Board as a defendant in his suit.
