The previous owner of the pc repair shop who blew the whistle about Hunter Biden’s laptop said he’s been “vindicated” now that Twitter owner Elon Musk released the explosive report on how the social media giant censored The Post’s reporting on the disgraced first son’s shady overseas business dealings.
“I’m grateful. I don’t know the way many individuals know but I principally was financially ruined by Twitter last 12 months. I attempted to save lots of my profession because Twitter labeled my actions hacking,” John Paul Mac Isaac said in an interview Sunday on Fox News, noting that he sued the corporate for defamation.
“So obviously watching Elon release this material Friday night was very exciting for me because what I felt like I knew the entire time was true. And I feel vindicated,” he said.
He also said that things could have turned out in another way for him and his legal challenges had Musk owned Twitter earlier.
“If he had bought Twitter in the course of the lawsuit, I believe things would have worked out somewhat bit higher for me. But you realize, it’s what it’s. And I’m grateful that the reality is coming out now and that I’m vindicated,” Mac Isaac said, joking that if Musk wants free tech support, “he’s got it.”
Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, released through journalist Matt Taibbi on Friday a damning report on how the highest employees at the corporate suppressed The Post’s expose on Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020.
The choice to censor the story was made on the “highest levels of the corporate” and used the rationale that the report violated Twitter’s “hacked materials” policy – a conclusion that numerous insiders questioned, Taibbi’s report said.
Mac Isaac said the hacking theory doesn’t add up.
“The FBI took possession of the laptop on Dec. 9, and with that they took all my notes, all my information that I had provided them, and so that they had ample time to review that data and realize that it wasn’t Russia,” he said.
Ten months had elapsed for the reason that FBI took the laptop from Mac Isaac’s Delaware computer shop in December 2019 to October 2020 when The Post published its report on Hunter Biden.
“After I watched the web shutdown on Oct. 14, The Recent York Post got here out with the story at 6:30 within the morning. By nine o’clock, you couldn’t find any discussion of it on the web,” Mac Isaac said.
“That’s not something that happens naturally. That’s something that’s coordinated and arrange in order that when the story broke, they were going to be ready, they might flick a switch and so they could shut it down,” he continued. “And that’s exactly what happened.”
Hunter Biden abandoned his laptop on the Wilmington, Del., repair shop in April 2019, and Mac Isaac said he turned over its harddisk to the FBI. Months later, he got in contact with Rudy Giuliani, who was on the time a lawyer for then-President Donald Trump.
Giuliani provided a replica of the harddisk to The Post.
Mac Isaac’s suit against Twitter was dismissed, but he has litigation pending against numerous other people and organizations.
He said through the lawsuits he has filed and his book, “American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth,” he hopes ‘the reality will come out” about what really happened with Hunter Biden’s laptop and “I can get on with my life.”
