After smears and defamation uprooted his life and drove him to the brink of bankruptcy, the computer repair shop owner responsible for turning Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop over to the authorities is striking back against the “collective and orchestrated effort” of corporate media and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

Since the laptop story broke prior to the 2020 presidential election, now 45-year-old John Paul Mac Isaac has held firm to his belief that “if you see something you say something.” What he sees now is evidence of Schiff, CNN, The Daily Beast and Politico working together to “block a real story with real consequences,” and that is why he filed suit against them Tuesday for “at least $1 million in compensatory damages [and] punitive damages.”

With the backing of the non-profit group The America Project, founded in part by retired U.S. Army Gen. Michael Flynn, Mac Isaac explained to The New York Post why he taking this issue to court.

“After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation,” the former computer repairman said.

“This was collusion led by 51 former pillars in the intelligence community,” Mac Isaac went on, referencing the oft-cited joint statement that attempted to discredit the since authenticated laptop, “and backed by words and actions of a politically motivated DOJ and FBI. I want this lawsuit to reveal that collusion and more importantly, who gave the marching orders.”

At the time of the initial report leading up to the election, Schiff had appeared on CNN where he spoke with Wolf Blitzer and, according to the lawsuit, said, “Well we know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin. That’s been clear for well over a year now that they’ve been pushing this false narrative about the Vice President and his son.”
