The Hunter Biden laptop scandal continues the plot thickens.
But this time, the person who ran the computer repair shop where Hunter Biden
left his laptop is speaking out against people who are essentially
claiming to have material from the laptop that isn't actually from it.
So John Paul Mac Isaac is the person who decided to speak to Real America's Voice,
a right wing outlet.
He is the computer repair shop owner.
He's also a person who has too many names, John Paul Mac Isaac, but
here's what he has to say about the accusations against Hunter Biden.
And let me be clear, he is in fact a Trump supporter.
>> Do a deep dive in the laptop once it became my property during that time, I
saw a lot of photos I did not see a lot of photos that are being reported to be seen.
>> Okay. >> Now with that said,
I do know that there have been multiple attempts over the past year and
a half to insert questionable material into the laptop as in not physically,
but passing it off this misinformation or disinformation as coming from the laptop.
And that is a major concern of mine because I have fought tooth and
nail to protect the integrity of this drive.
>> So honestly, none of that surprises me and I might disagree with him
wholeheartedly on political issues, but I do want to commend him for saying that.
Because it was something that I suspected, but wasn't sure about.
And now it's just clear because he's the guy who has possession of Hunter Biden's
laptop and there's all sorts of accusations made many of which by the way,
Francesca haven't really amounted to criminal activity.
Like I have no problem with prosecuting Hunter Biden to the full extent of the law
if he's done something wrong, it's just like homeboy didn't pay his taxes.
Okay good.
I'm glad that we found out he wasn't paying his taxes and
now he's forced to pay his taxes.
But like and then what what else?
Like what's the big shocking story that they've been teasing us with for
over a year now that we still don't have any details on?
>> I mean like good on him, you cannot bribe a man in a barret.
I'm just gonna put that out there.
He's got a pom pom on his hat.
This dude is committed two things.
Number one is look, number two the integrity of a hard drive and
look that's part for
the course with a lot of IT people no matter what their political leanings are.
No, there's a right way to do things.
There's a wrong way to do things.
Something was, officially given to that laptop.
That's no, no, no, no, no, so it's just so
funny because everyone else in Trump world is going to make something up.
Anyone else in Trump world would be like, let's put all the child pornography on
this like or whatever the hell else they would put on it.
But this guy is like it's honestly not there and
there have been data breaches and people trying to get into it.
But I'm trying to preserve the integrity and back to what you were saying.
Honestly, the only thing that I found out that about Hunter's laptop and
end like leaked text messages was that Joe Biden sent Hunter a text
message when Hunter was in rehab, that said, I love you son.
And it's just like wow,
that's supposed to make us suspect of Hunter.
And Joe Biden makes me like Joe Biden more than I ever
have when I hear about that text message.
Like the idea that we're dragging someone's also drug addiction through
the mud at this.
Like at this point, like forget the sex scandals, tax stuff, but
like a drug addiction that he has been in treatment for, it's the lowest
of the low and it's not flying with people I think either on the right.
I mean, some on the right, but it doesn't fly with people.
>> Well, I mean, look, Francesca, to be fair,
Glenn Greenwald does make an important point in noting
that the Hunter Biden laptop story is just not being reported.
Now what exactly would we report?
Because there hasn't really been like a shocking development worth discussing and
let me just say like, again, I've got no loyalty to Hunter Biden.
I don't care like if he did something truly criminal,
of course will cover it on the show.
But it's also important to put everything in context,
which is to say that Hunter Biden is not in any way connected to our
government other than he happens to be the son of Joe Biden,
who has not appointed him in any type of official White House role.
Unlike someone that people like Glenn Greenwald seemed to avoid
criticizing Donald Trump who put his own children,
his son in law in the White House as official White House advisers.
And by the way, if the right wing is in any way concerned about
Hunter Biden engaging in nefarious foreign deals.
Why don't we address the story that broke just recently about
Jared Kushner using his position in the White House as
leverage to get a $2 billion dollar investment from Saudi Arabia.
And that investment by the way was Mohammed Bin Salman,
the Crown Prince's way of honestly thanking him for
providing cover after MBS ordered the assassination and
dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi a Washington post journalists.
That apparently doesn't really matter to these disinformation peddlers
doesn't matter at all.
>> We don't have like stars in our eyes about politicians, children and
all the legs up that they get and all of the ways that yes.
Hunter Biden, maybe he was, working on some natural gas deals in Ukraine
are working with Burisma or whatever the hell else Giuliani says,
fever dream whiskey sweats rants that he goes on.
But if we are comparing rotten apples and rotten apples,
which I feel like we do on this show a lot and
we understand gradations of crime unless there are the nuclear
codes being sold to the highest bidder on that laptop.
Nothing that could be revealed is can hold a candle to the last four years of
the Trump administration the most corrupt administration in history as
Bernie Sanders likes to remind us.
And I think we need to remember making sure that military officials stayed in
Trump hotels.
The family made Ivanka's deals with her like whatever purse line etc.
The obvious.
>> In China. >> In China that Jared Kushner stuff with
Saudi Arabia to say nothing of his deals with UAE and all the ways he was playing
the gulf states against one another before he even got into office.
By the way, neither Ivanka nor
Jared had real security clearance to be in the White House.
The extortion of Ukraine the attempt to overturn the election.
Do we need to go on the PPP loans that basically just went out to anybody,
anybody including the Trump family Jared got some of those.
Just like give it a rest, give it a rest.
>> I mean Trump, continued robbing his own supporters after
the 2020 election by sending them emails to fundraise for
his legal fight to overturn the election and
that money didn't go to any kind of legal fight.
I mean, and then by the way,
they were recurring donations that people didn't realize would be recurring and
people ended up like over drafting in their accounts.
All these people on fixed incomes.
>> Yeah, retirees.
People living with disabilities just like the fine print.
They didn't uncheck the right boxes.
I mean, yeah, it's disgusting.
>> It really is, but no, no, let's get another,
I don't know full year full of innuendo pertaining to Hunter Biden's laptop.
I don't care unless there's really something groundbreaking, which I doubt.
I mean it's been this long and nothing groundbreaking has been revealed.
>> But this groundbreaking, right?
This is actually really interesting to know like well what was who and
what was attempted to be put onto this laptop.
>> Yeah, well, okay, so let me give you some of the context,
some of the details we do know.
So the portable drive provided to the Washington post contains 286,000
individual user files, including documents, photos, videos, and chat logs.
Of those cryptography and forensic experts concluded that nearly
22,000 emails among those files carried cryptographic signatures
that could be verified using technology that would be difficult for
even the most sophisticated hackers to fake.
So of the 22,000 verified emails, most of them were newsletters,
fundraising appeals, hotel receipts, news alerts,
bank notifications and products ads, titillating.
The experts Matt Greene and Jake Williams did find verified communications
between Hunter and a chinese energy conglomerate known as CEFC,
China Energy as well as emails with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma,
which of course he served on the board for.
But the emails were only routine communications board meetings,
confirmation of travel,
billing statements that weren't specifically new or incriminating.
So, look, I get on the democrats a lot for
the weak stuff that they try to use for their campaigning.
I really do think that, given the fact that the January 6th Congressional
panel is refusing to send or refer criminal charges to the DOJ for Trump.
Like I feel like what they're doing with the panel is
just like finding something to campaign on for the midterms.
I think that's gonna be a failed effort.
But to be fair Republicans engage in similar stuff and
at the end of the day we're dealing with two parties that like
try to find other things to distract you with or
to campaign on that doesn't really speak to the real issues Americans care about.
So I think your point about how this laptop story isn't
really gaining any momentum is a valid one and
it's not because Republican officials haven't been trying.
I just think the voters aren't buying it.
>> Yeah, I mean even Republican voters like you're saying you're not really
buying it, it's just like weird internet sleuths.
Quanon Jason if you've got time to go down this rabbit hole.
But there's no traction behind it because there's nothing there.
