Mac Repair Shop Owner Reveals ‘Multiple’ Attempts to Insert ‘Questionable Material’ on to Hunter Biden’s Laptop

A new twist has emerged in the Hunter Biden laptop saga as John Paul Mac Issac, the owner of the repair shop where Hunter Biden “forgot” his laptop, has admitted he knew of “multiple attempts” to insert “questionable material” on the hard drive.

The Trump-supporting repair shop owner has become an unlikely key figure in this saga that has come with allegations of disinformation and media/big tech censorship during the 2020 general election and for well over a year later.

Mac Isaac sat down with Real America’s Voice anchor Ed Henry to discuss the laptop, and a portion of the video was shared on Twitter.

Mac Isaac revealed that he saw the hard drive as a national security concern, which “caused [him] to do a deep dive into the laptop once it became [his] property.” Mac Isaac added “During that time, I saw a lot of photos. I did not see a lot of photos that are being reported to be seen.”

You mean the whole thing is a bullshit hit job? I'm shocked... Shocked I tell you

1. "You mean the whole thing is a bullshit hit job? I'm shocked... Shocked I tell you"

The Hunter Biden "stuff" is just HRC and her emails 2.0.


Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news.

5. It is actually closer to whitewater.

Make a bunch of shit up and hope to find something to get people riled up about even if it isn’t connected to the original accusation and no matter how trivial.

[uponit7771]

11. Damn, and now the DOJ is knee deep in bullshit MAGA stupidity. That dude is legally blind ...

... and doesn't know who dropped the laptops off or signed for them

[Grasswire2]

12. "grievance mining"

I just saw that term yesterday.

[DSandra]

6. All they care about is winning, ethics be damned

“Ethics are for losers. Anyone would be stupid to let ethics to get in the way of attaining power!”

[SWBTATTReg]

2. What is that saying, that an fool is born every minute? Now it's getting to be an idiot is born

every minute.

[H2O Man]

3. Recommended.

No surprise here.

[keithbvadu2]

4. Well, are there any photos of Cawthorn's republican cocaine fueled orgies?

Well, are there any photos of Cawthorn's republican cocaine fueled orgies?

[FSogol]

7. Wouldn't it be funny if the DOJ Hunter Biden investigation ended up charging a bunch of right

wingers with trying to frame Hunter Biden?

[lagomorph777]

8. There never was any supposed laptop.

At least, nothing connected to any member of Biden's family. The whole thing is a fabrication, start to finish.

[2naSalit]

27. +1

[mountain grammy]

30. Agree.

[sop]

9. Mac Issac "couldn't say for sure who dropped them off, because he is legally blind"

https://www.vox.com/22992772/hunter-biden-laptop

"In April 2019, someone dropped off three water-damaged laptops with him for repair, Mac Isaac claimed. He couldn’t say for sure who dropped them off, because he is legally blind, but he said the person identified himself as Hunter Biden and signed a receipt with what appears to be Hunter’s name."

How convenient, Mac Issac can't say Hunter Biden dropped off the laptops because he's legally blind.

"One of the laptops had a Beau Biden Foundation sticker. No one ever returned to pick up the laptops, so Mac Isaac (an enthusiastic Trump supporter) started looking at what’s on one of them. He saw what he thought was lots of scandalous material, so he called authorities and handed it over — but also kept a copy of its material on a hard drive. At some point, he gave that hard drive to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, and they gave it to the New York Post (and circulated it among other Trump supporters like Steve Bannon)."

Three laptops, one with a Beau Biden Foundation sticker, and no one ever returned to pick them up. Yep, the whole thing sounds credible.

[Mad_Machine76]

13. He is legally blind

but could see what was on the laptop?

Is that correct?

[DBoon]

20. He is legally blind

So while he can insinuate the laptop is Hunter Biden's, he cannot testify under oath.

[2naSalit]

28. Exactly.

[hamsterjill]

21. Yeah, he "saw what he thought was scandalous material"

And he turned it over to Giuliani’s attorney.

Seems to me this dude is starting to realize what the repercussions could be to him for his role in this fiasco, and is trying to salvage his reputation. A little too late to do the right thing now.

It’s all been a total whack job to make Joe look bad and distract from Trump.

[obamanut2012]

35. I'm thinking the same thing

Hopefully someone close to him told him he could get in a lot of trouble.

[lagomorph777]

22. And he could verify Hunter Biden's signature...

against what...?

[obamanut2012]

37. Right?!

[uponit7771]

10. Sooooooo, why is the DOJ investigating this shit ?! tia

[lagomorph777]

23. The only thing they should be investigating is who is running this silly scam.

[Ohio Joe]

26. It began as a tax inquiry when Obama was president...

That has been cleared but under TFG and Barr's DOJ it "widened in 2018 to include possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules"

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html

Which is all bullshit.

[LakeArenal]

14. If he thought a National security issue, why NYTimes and not FBI or CIA.

What citizen takes it upon himself to decide something like that.

Now that it’s a flop he sees misinformation?

[DBoon]

19. exactly

If you come across possible classified material you don't decide to investigate yourself, you leave the laptop alone and call the Feds

[2naSalit]

29. One of the first questions to ask.

This is why it's' horse pucky. It's really one of those bungled O'Keefe hit jobs, sloppy and stupid, requires some very creative thinking to find it credible in any way.

[Ohio Joe]

34. It's fishier than that...

He gave it to Guiliani's attorney, not any authorities and maga ran wild with it from there. A total bullshit sideshow.

[DavidDvorkin]

15. Utter nonsense from beginning to end

There literally is nothing to see here.

[Kingofalldems]

16. Wow, a few posters recently jumped up and screamed right here on DU...

that it was all true about Hunter Biden.

I guess they'll be apologizing real soon.

[lagomorph777]

25. Yeah, don't hold your breath.

Some folks seem to be pretty gullible, or possibly they just think we are.

[obamanut2012]

38. Within the past few days, too

[Ohio Joe]

45. Really? Sheesh... I'm glad I missed those...

Can't say I'm surprised though.

[rickford66]

17. I don't trust people who say "That being said ..." It's followed by BS.

[Kingofalldems]

18. Kick and rec for Trump's secret pals.

[hamsterjill]

24. What are the odds that someone chose this repair shop

Because they knew the guy was legally blind and they could say “Hunter Biden” and the person could not later identify them.

So fishy it all stinks to high heaven.

[obamanut2012]

39. +1

[gaskinite]

31. Gym Jordan will chair House committe

That investigates this. Will spend 2 years and 40 million on the investigation.

[Ohio Joe]

36. That assumes repugs win the mid-terms...

I do not believe that will happen for even one second.

[IronLionZion]

32. I always look for the most MAGA-ist repair shops to drop my laptops

in states I don't live in and completely forget to pick them up all the time. Seems legit.

[videohead5]

33. Hunter's signature does not match

The bill from the computer repair shop with Hunter's signature does not match his signature on known documents he signed. I believe that the laptop was stolen and taken to this repair shop with planted documents on it.

[jmowreader]

44. More like.

1. Buy laptop at pawn shop
2. Print a Beau Biden Foundation sticker on a laser printer
3. Get whatever Putin’s old employer is called this week to fill it up with made-up crap

[sop]

49. The planning went something like this:

"Hey, Rudy...my Russian guys stole three laptops from Hunter...I can't tell anyone...it's killing me...revealing it would be a crime...what can I do?"

"I know a guy who has a computer repair shop, Donald, and...get this...he's legally blind! Just have your guy drop off the laptops for repair, pretend he's Hunter and sign a receipt...the guy's blind...he won't be able to tell the difference."

"WTF, Rudy?...a blind guy?

"Yeah, follow me boss...in a few weeks, after your Russian doesn't return to pick up the laptops, it'll be unclaimed property...the stuff legally belongs to the repairman. My blind guy can plant some fake incriminating files on the hard drive and call the FBI...they'll nail Hunter...then you can attack the Bidens for the kind of shit Jared's doing."

"How does that help me, Rudy?...the deep state will investigate for months...the election's in a few weeks."

"Don't worry, Donald...the blind guy will make me a copy of the fake hard drive before turning it in...leave the rest to Hannity, Tucker and Bannon...they know what to do."

"You're a genius, Rudy...I don't pay you enough."

"You don't pay me at all, Donald."

[paleotn]

40. How could he "see photos" if he's blind????

[Xoan]

41. He's blind but ...

“During that time, I saw a lot of photos. I did not see a lot of photos that are being reported to be seen.”

[sdfernando]

42. Legally blind....maybe he has hearing issues too?...

perhaps the person that dropped off the laptops was named Gunther Hayden or some such name?

[slightlv]

43. When I have a laptop that needs to be repaired

I always take them to blind technicians...

yeah... right... /sarcasm...

[not a texan]

46. The Key Here is Legally Blind

Many legally blind people see quite well up close. Legal blindness deals with acuity and peripheral vision restriction Remember that eye chart with the large E at the top. If you can't read that at 20 feet with best correction in your best eye, you are legally blind. Many legally blind people could read this post because that is near vision. It doesn't work that way for everyone, but for some it does.

[GusBob]

47. Yes this is accurate

The distinction being legally blind vs functionally blind vs totally blind, there is a difference

Looking at the video I see the fella has strabismus (and probably associated amblyopia) And it looks like he has "see-saw" nystagmus (the jerky eye movements)

My experience with these types of folks, and yeah, its a speculative educated guess, so sue me

His right eye is probably 20/200 or worse, his left, well nystagmus folks can get 20/50 at best, him I'd have a party if he was 20/70 left eye

So ya, that meets the definition of legal blindness. but he could have functional vision.. Nystagmus folks can turn their heads a certain way and find a "null point" that minimizes the condition. But no way he drives a car
