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 which peddled the Trump-Russia hoax is now suggesting that Russia is behind it all.
To wit, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who swore on National television that he had evidence Trump was colluding with Russia – now says that President Trump is handing the Kremlin a “propaganda coup from Vladimir Putin.”

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) has gone full tin-foil, suggesting that Giuliani was a ‘key target’ of ‘Kremlin constructed anti-Biden propaganda.’
2/ Russia knew it had to play a different game than 2016. So it built an operation to cull virulently pro-Trump Americans as pseudo-assets, so blind in their allegiance to Trump that they’ll willingly launder Kremlin constructed anti-Biden propaganda.
Guiliani was a key target.

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 American 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. How do I know? I have known his dad for more than 20 years. I’ve known John Paul’s dad as Mac. Mac is a decorated Vietnam Veteran, who flew gunships in Vietnam. And 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 Mac Issac, examined the three and determined that one was beyond recovery, one was okay and the data on the harddrive of the third could be recovered. Hunter signed the service ticket and John Paul Mac Issac repaired the hard drive and down loaded 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. Mac 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), Mr. Mac Issac made repeated efforts to contact Hunter Biden. Biden never answered and never responded. More importantly, Biden stiffed John Paul Mac Issac–i.e., he did not pay the bill.
When the manufactured Ukraine crisis surfaced in August 2019, John Paul 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 John Paul Mac Issac. Two FBI agents from the Wilmington FBI office–Joshua Williams and Mike Dzielak–came to John Paul’s business. He offered immediately to give them the hard drive, 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. John Paul 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. John Paul complied with the subpoena and turned over the hard drive and the computer.
The media is desperately trying to convince Americans that once again the Russians have successfully infiltrated our election process. The biden crime family syndicate has been exposed. Hunter admits he has been directly involved in syndicate operations for 30+ years and 50% of all money extorted goes to “pop”. Pop is joe biden.
I remember how the Democrats tore their shirts demanding that President Trump be impeached over a phone conversation with Ukraine. Heaven forbid that an American president would inquire over corruption in Ukraine, a nation that has been the recipient of millions of American tax payer dollars to fight corruption, but that Trump should have questions about Crowd Strike, a company that a high ranking Democrat recently invested in or the admission that when asked for DNC server the DNC said no and the FBI tucked tail between their legs and left empty handed. Never mind that the American people had hidden from them for years that the president of Crowd Strike said he could not prove that ANY information had been “exfiltrated” by anyone, especially the Russians. All we heard was “RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA” by the Democrats.
Now, it seems remarkable that the very things the Democrats accused the Trump family of is exactly what we are reading in the Hunter Biden emails and text messages.
But for me there is a sad aspect to this obvious scandal. When his ex wife sought a divorce, she stated that Hunter had serious issues financially due to his drug abuse and his fondness for hookers. Hunter obviously has no moral center or standards as he dated the widow of his brother while still married, although separated from his ex wife. But where the hell was his father? Why wasn’t Joe making sure that Hunter was receiving proper treatment for his drug abuse and “sexual” misgivings? Why would his father allow such an unstable man to have a capacity to put his father into such a position? Does Joe not care for Hunter and just let him run wild like a street junkie?
I find the whole family disgusting. Jill with her handling of Joe who is clearly declining mentally (i.e. elder abuse) and the others who has fed off the Joe Biden teat for decades and Joe who let them simply to fatten his own bank account.
Elect him again and he’ll become the only U.S. president to be impeached twice.
The Russians are now propagating disinformation directly through the White House, by way of Rudy Giuliani. Disinformation has been weaponized. When it takes the form of disinformation on COVID-19, the weapon turns deadly. Give this guy more time to do nothing but encourage people to be irresponsible and it could take down our economy.
@Greg:
We accept your terms, as he was never convicted and removed for the pathetic manufactured charges.
If I had the hard drive I would not have handed it to the discredited FBI, I would have contacted the US Marshals. They seem to be rounding up the Pedos now days.
1300 children rescued since 2016.
@Greg:
Bullshit dumbass. You have nothing. There is zero Russian disinformation. That is a total fabricated story with zero credible evidence.
Beyond Hunter’s MacBook: Email account of his ex-busines partner reveals high level Chinese group bought hidden access to Biden at the White House
@kitt:
It was joe biden who took money from Ukraine. It was joe biden who held back loan guarantees unless the prosecutor investigating his drug addicted son was fired. Well, son of a bitch, they fired him.
@Greg: Do you have a source for that claim, Greg?
If things got tough, would a President Biden side with America or Hunter?
@greg:
Take your shit somewhere else. No one here biting on the democrat lies you are peddling. Obviously you are as dumb as joe biden. How long will it take for you to get the fact that you are the biggest joke and loser here?
@Meremortal:
joe biden would never side with America. China owns joe biden.
@Greg: If the emails came from Russia, how did the Russians get the fun photos of Hunter?
@Greg: He wasn’t impeached. The Senate threw it out.
It is fun to watch you run damage control, still screaming “Russia” like a broken record.
@kitt: I can not believe greggie the rock. He continues to show extraordinary levels of stupidity. Maybe it is a requirement to be a Biden supporter. One likely has to kill off the remaining brain cells if there ever were any. So now the story is that the Russians are inducing Hunter biden and friends to put false emails on his computer, drop the computer off for repairs and then never picking up the computer in order for the repair man to send false data to Juliana. Wow, those Russians are getting more clever all the time or maybe, the computer actually was Hunters real computer that he dropped off for repair. Maybe while drug induced, he forgot about the computer. In addition, Hunter had to recruit his partner in the Ukraine and China business deals to validate the emails and information stored on the hard drive by confessing to a felony and possibly treason. Wow, this story gets better and better! The only persons not involved in this is Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. But maybe they are the team that provides all of the real information that greggie the rock and shifty use to document their point of view.
Got stoned. Forgot.
@retire05:
Trump was impeached for trying to assure US aid was not siphoned off by corruption. Biden extorted the Ukraine government to protect corruption.
@Greg:
Why stop at twice? When you don’t have to rely on evidence and you have the power of a majority (I laughed out loud at Democrats criticizing Republicans for using their majority to comply with their Constitutional obligation), you can impeach over and over. Like the first time, you are pushing for impeachment with no evidence of an impeachable offense. Unless, like last time, you would have them impeach Trump for using his son to collect bribes, which they then shared, 50/50.
Perhaps the Russians is who is telling you the emails are a hoax to protect Joe. After all, they’ve invested heavily in him.
Most likely because he never had the computer to begin with. Hunter Biden has an estimated net worth of around $3 million. He’s not likely to be running broken laptops in to a computer shop for repairs. He’s sure as hell not likely to be taking in a computer with incriminating information on the hard drive for “data recovery”. That would be crazy.
The backstory and “Hunter Biden’s hard drive content” were provided to the New York Post by Rudy Giuliani. If that isn’t a red flag, I don’t know what would be. Rudy probably didn’t think this up. He was probably played. It’s common knowledge that he’s a conduit to the White House.
October 18, 2020 – Biden email episode illustrates risk to Trump from Giuliani
@Greg: I wonder why Hunter Biden’s attorney sent a letter asking for the computer just as the story broke in the Post? I bet it was Boris and Natasha again!
UFO sighting warning…
I would say the estimate of his net worth is under stated by multiple billions of dollars. He knows what is on his laptop and the incriminating evidence was known only to him and the Chinese. Given the laptop may have been inoperable, it would make sense that he would need to be able to access necessary incriminating evidence. Except there is one problem, in the case of his sex videos of under aged Chinese minors, the Chinese also have copies of the sexual acts.
You do not know shit, more left wing propaganda on your part moron.
You would not know a red flag if it was sticking up your ass
Eh, hey Einstein, Rudy is President Trump’s personal lawyer… The theory that this is Russian involvement originates with adam Schiff, a known liar and one who is financially involved with the Ukraine among other countries as well.
Why did Hunter Biden sneak into State Department for Meeting with Deputy Undersecretary Tony Blinken?
Here is a copy of the invite and instructions for entry… This was done in this manner so as to avoid any public record of the meeting.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkiIZhAWAAAtCx7?format=jpg&name=medium
@Greg: #15, they have his signature on the repair order, the FBI subpoenaed the laptop, got a copy of that too. Bidens lawyer even called the repair guy and demanded the laptop be returned. The black helicopter excuses make you look very desperate, oh we found Fancy bear, maybe yogibear he is a decorated Nam vet’s kid in Delaware. Look on the bright side his former business partner most likely as much more damaging evidence than the lap top full of porn.
@kitt:
The guy currently in the hoosegow has the goods on the biden crime family, and he is working with officials. This is not a smear campaign nor is it some conspiratorial venture by biden opposition. Most of the basics of the burisma business has been know for more than two years.
At this point joe needs to drop out of the race, this is only going to get worse.
@Greg:
But the shop owner says Hunter left it and signed a receipt. Hunter’s worth is $0.
Why? What else does he have to do? All his “jobs” are just to talk Daddy into selling influence.
It’s kind of crazy for a supposedly educated person to use cocaine and crack. But, here we are.
It was offered to the FBI a year ago and they never took any action. After they had it, while Democrats were accusing Trump of doing exactly what was on that hard drive, the FBI did nothing with it. THERE’S a gigantic red flag. You are going to have to face the reality of facts; Biden is corrupt, he was depending on Russians and Chinese for massive amounts of cash in his pockets.
Trump’s kids are making peace possible in the Middle East. Biden’s is selling political influence. Do the math. Not the meth, the MATH.
@July 4th American: Gee I hope he doesnt Trump is going to beat him like a drum. The ballots are out many returned what chaos it would cause. We need to get the shady election rule changes to the Supreme court, no ballots counted after election day not 1, I would like the early and mail ins reported first so they cant “find” any past the last minute in a trunk or warehouse.
@Greg:
Obviously you don’t know any “rich” people….with drug habits who got their money from their corrupt politician dad.
No sh*t, Sherlock. But it would be crazy to be the Sectary of State and have a bathroom server.
You Democrats are going down…hard.
Early voting shows Trump killing it in battleground state.
Uh-oh!
October 20, 2020 – Giuliani: I Turned Over Hunter Biden’s Laptop With Pictures Of “Underage Girls” To Delaware Police
It hasn’t been demonstrated that the laptop ever belonged to Hunter Biden. For that, we only have the story told by Trump’s cross-dressing toady, Rudy, and a legally blind Trump supporter who admitted he can’t see well enough to say that it was actually Hunter Biden who dropped off the laptop, but that it must have been because of the label stuck on the device.
I guess it is documented that these two guys had child pornography in their possession.
We’re really supposed to believe the story that Hunter Biden dropped off a laptop with incriminating emails and child pornography on the hard drive at the computer repair shop of a Trump supporter having Rudy Giuliani on speed dial?
Seriously, how ridiculous is this underlying premise? This is Rudy, desperately trying to fulfill his mission to come up with something Trump could use against Biden.
Or not. In which case, Trump will lose all immunity from prosecution and all official powers to conceal records that he has been doing everything possible to keep hidden.
@Greg:
You have nothing on President Trump. President Trump gets re-elected in an electoral landslide. So much so that the mail ballot fraud will be so insignificant that sleepy joe will be unable to contest the results.
There is no dispute that the laptop did belong to hunter biden. That fact has been established and is no longer in question except for brain dead degenerate blog trolls, aka greg.
@Greg: It is demonstrated Biden dropped it off, that the emails are legitimate and that it is not “Russian disinformation”. If this was one of the Trump’s laptop, we would already have the complete search history, every photograph and all their personal data published in every liberal propaganda outlet. Guiliani and the Republicans are being very restrained, considerate and respectful, as much as possible. Even though the Biden’s deserve none of that. They are all lying, deceitful, corrupt, dangerous scumbags. Don’t get pissed; it’s not my fault you voted for that crime cabal.
@July 4th American:
That HAS NOT been established. As noted at the bottom of post #23, the tale is even crazier than usual. It makes even less sense than the goofy Uranium One conspiracy. It crosses the line into Pizzagate territory.
@July 4th American: #23 comment didnt age well with FBI confirmation.
@kitt:
The FBI hasn’t actually confirmed a damn thing. Typically, people with obvious ulterior motives are making such claims on behalf of unidentified sources.
There apparently is an FBI investigation related to the laptop. Hunter Biden’s actions may not be at the center of it.
@kitt:
If there was ever any doubt that Comrade Greggie is nothing more than a propaganda pimp, #23 proves it.
greg is on a full frontal assault because the idea that a potential future president of the US has a son involved in underaged sexual promiscuity, smoking crack while engaged in child pornography. And, acting as joe bidens bagman, global traveling picking up bribes and payoffs from America’s number one enemies.
joe biden should drop out of the race today.
@retire05:
gregs defense is so weak it is laughable. joe biden is toast, end of story.
Joe Biden: This is [name of 14-year-old girl redacted] right
Hunter Biden: She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate with [name of 14-year-old girl redacted] when she says that I facetime naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I’ll walk around naked smoking crack talking [redacted] girls on face time. When she was pressed she said that [the unnamed 14-year-old girl] never said anything like that but the bottom line is that I created and caused
Hunter Biden: A very unsafe environment for the kids.
Hunter Biden: If it stopped there I would let it go
Hunter Biden: But then [redacted] friend [redacted] sober coach
@July 4th American, #32:
Such projection of Trump’s own behavior onto his opponents is both typical and predictable. A majority of voters figured this out a long time ago.
@Greg: #32
Makes zero sense. Your desperation is showing.
@July 4th American, #36:
Gateway Pundit:
Sorry, but I’m not an effin’ moron—possibly because I haven’t read Gateway Pundit’s trash enough to have been brain damaged.
The signatures on the drivers licenses and the computer receipt DO NOT match. They’re not even close. I do not have to be told this by a handwriting expert. My own eyes instantly tell me this.
@July 4th American: Deny it for a couple of weeks, declare it debunked, call it old news, Deflect from past scandals by saying they are not running.
So damn predictable/pathetic.
@Greg:
No, you are a f##king moron and you are not a handwriting specialist. joe biden himself likes to smell the hair of little girls. Is that all he has done with little girls?
@July 4th American:
Anyone who isn’t as blind as Rudy’s kilt-wearing computer guy should be able to see that the signatures clearly don’t match.
“We can confirm” are just three words. So are “No, you can’t.”
@July 4th American: That narrows it down to Beaus daughter, is that why he and Hallie split up? Unless he moved on one of Jills grand daugters. Jill had to correct Joe on how many grandchildren he had.
@kitt:
In the case of hunter, the acorn does not fall far from the tree. joe likes him some little girls. It appears hunter has had him some sex with little girls, in China. Not sure about sex with his niece but hey, knocking up hookers and dancer is his bag baby.
Meanwhile, the resident forensics expert has solved the case. The handwriting expert from Putin’s stable of agents messed up on this one according to greg
@Greg:
You can scream to the sky all you want. FSAs testified that Hunter’s connection to Burisma raised questions. He was kicked out if the Navy for drug use. He has been in rehab AT LEAST six times. His ex wife told the court they (she and Hunter) couldn’t pay their everyday bills because Hunter spent all their money on drugs and sex activities.
So go ahead and try to defend the creep. Makes you look dumber.
Meanwhile;

@Greg:
What about that $40 million Russiagate hoax? How crazy was that?
By the way, Uranium One happened. Sorry.
I wonder, how does it feel when you have been calling Trump a crook for 4 years (without a shred of proof) and then it turns out YOUR guy is the crook and YOUR party all knew about it but ignored it? Does it hurt?
There was nothing the least bit crazy about the Russia investigation, which is why Trump will never release all the documents he claimed that had he already ordered to be declassified and released. Trump campaign officials had over 100 documented contacts with the Russians during the run up to the 2016 election, including secret meetings that they lied about. By the time the extent was known, Trump was already sitting at the Resolute desk, calculating who needed to be removed and replaced to build a stone wall everything could be hidden behind. He knows that will all fall apart the moment he leaves office.
Uranium One was a farce. It never made sense from the ground up, which is why Clinton has never been charged with a damn thing by a Trump-puppeteered DoJ. Trying to bring actual charges would publicly demonstrate how totally bogus is all is. It’s the same thing with Clinton’s emails, the Benghazi investigation, and the Biden smear. Durham has also come up empty. Nothing is being released ahead of the election because there’s nothing useful to release.
Trump was a crook long before he got to the White House.
@Greg:
Waiting on links for those “over 100 documented contacts with the Russians” that I’m sure you will happily provide.
@Deplorable Me: greggie the rock is more than a little confused. Tose drugs do that.
@Greg:
Oh, no. Of course not. Just that there was NO credible evidence to base it on and EVERYONE driving the “investigation” knew the foundation evidence was all lies and trash. Otherwise, it was perfectly logical.
You seem to worry a LOT about “Russian contacts”. Well, how about the son of the Presidential candidate getting $3.5 million from the wife of the former mayor of Moscow for… what exactly? Do “Chinese contacts” worry you? Son Hunter sold Biden influence there, too. Seems you only worry about “contacts” that don’t make contact.
Oh, I agree, Uranium One was a farce. Right out in the open, Hillary sold her State Department influence for $1.5 million to approve the sale of US uranium to a company KNOWN to be controlled by Russia. Then, the uranium that was not supposed to be taken out of the country disappeared like all of Schiff’s evidence of Trump’s treachery. Now, THAT’S a farce; a farce of leadership.
You accuse Trump of being a crook without any evidence. You VOTED for a crook that has PROOF he peddled his own influence to foreign countries. Maybe you need to look the definition of the word up; you are confused by the meaning.
@retire05: Or the proof Trump didn’t authorize the release of documents. It’s pretty easy to make accusations if you never have to back them up.
