In a legal response to the computer store owner’s libel lawsuit, Hunter Biden’s legal team is laying the groundwork for a big case against the GOP.
In the 42-page legal filing Friday morning, Biden’s attorneys argue six counterclaims, alleging that computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac had no legal right to obtain and distribute data from the Biden’s laptop, an issue that became central in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election. Images, emails and text messages believed to have belonged to Hunter Biden later became public.

“The purpose of invading Mr. Biden’s privacy and releasing his data was not for a legitimate purpose but to cause harm and embarrassment to Mr. Biden,” the filing said.
Recent survey showed that the Republican obsession and the Hunter Biden laptop investigation hurts them politically along with anyone who is not a Republican.
Republicans thought Hunter Biden would sit back and get himself and his family dirty to bring Trump back to the White House, but they were wrong.
Biden appears to be staging a counteroffensive, and if the judge rules the laptop repair shop owner had the right to copy and share the data, the door will be open for legal action against everyone in the Trump world who were involved in acquiring, manipulating and disseminating the data.
Hunter Biden is not a government official. He is not running for office, nor has he worked for the government. There is no legitimate purpose for Republicans in Congress to investigate him, just as the only reason his supposed data was leaked was to hurt his father.
Republicans may end up deeply regret pushing the conspiracy against Hunter Biden’s laptops.
