2020 Letter From Rudy Giuliani’s Lawyer Reveals An Effort To Establish He Obtained Hunter’s Laptop LEGALLY
>
An attorney representing former Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani wrote to the owner of a Delaware computer repair shop in August 2020 touting his ability to get information about Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop to the “right places,” and to confirm that he was the legal owner of the amazing material he was offering.
The repair shop’s owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, had accessed the laptop, which was packed with personal images and business information, after he said the president’s son left it in 2019 and never came back to pick it up.
He then reached out to Giuliani, whose attorney recalled efforts to ensure the information was “obtained lawfully,” according to the 2020 email, which was obtained by DailyMail.com,
That started a series of events, culminating in the publication of stories based on the laptop’s content, and Hunter’s own legal team responded this week with a series of letters demanding investigations into how the information got out. The letter from Giuliani’s lawyer appears to be an effort to establish that the former New York mayor and his lawyer sought assurances that the information was not stolen.
“You claim that you had the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop and that you turned it over to the FBI,” Giuliani’s attorney, Bob Costello, wrote to Mac Issac, who ran the Wilmington store where he said a Hunter-like man He went in search of computer help.
A lawyer for former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani wrote a letter to the owner of the computer repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac.
“He also says that he has copies of the material that he gave to the FBI and that he wants that material to reach the right people,” he continued.
The two-paragraph email, written by the former deputy head of SDNY’s criminal division, states that he and Giuliani are “very interested in reviewing what you have and learning how it came into your possession.”
‘Mister. Giuliani and I have been working on that issue for some time and we are in a position to get the information to the right places, as long as the information is accurate and was obtained legally,” according to the email.
He then establishes a contact in case Mac Isaac is interested, “and I assume he is because he contacted us.”
The previously unreported release of the email is aimed at disputing a 14-page letter from Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell, who sought an investigation by Delaware AG seeking an investigation of people who had “considerable reasons to believe raped”. various Delaware laws to access, copy, manipulate and/or disseminate data from Mr. Biden’s personal computer.’
Attorney Bob Costello contacted the owner of the computer repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, in August 2020. He says he and Giuliani have been “working on that issue” of going over what he has and how he got to it. her hands.
Robert Costello, who represents Giuliani, is a former deputy chief of SDNY’s criminal division. He is one of several people referenced in the letter from Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, to Delaware AG.
John Paul Mac Isaac says Hunter Biden took the laptop to his Wilmington store for repairs. When it wasn’t picked up, he turned it over to the FBI and gave a copy to Rudy Giuliani and his attorney.
Overdue: An invoice to Hunter Biden shows the laptop had not been picked up. The store owner says he owned the property because of a clause in a work order. Biden’s lawyers say in a letter seeking investigations that he and others may have broken laws related to stolen property.
The letter shows “the level of care and due diligence that the mayor and Bob were doing,” Giuliani spokesman and adviser Ted Goodman said.
Hunter Biden’s letter, part of a more aggressive public and legal strategy overall, claims that Mac Isaac “has admitted to gaining access to data on our client’s personal computer in Delaware without Mr. Biden’s consent.” He says that ‘he decided to work with President Donald Trump’s personal attorney to weaponize Mr. Biden’s personal computer data against his father, Joseph R. Biden, by illegally causing the provision of Mr. Biden’.
Biden’s letter calls it a “failed political dirty trick.”
The New York Post first published articles based on the laptop weeks before the presidential election.
Abbe Lowell’s letter claims that Costello “has admitted that he almost immediately accessed material without permission” from Biden. He then references various Delaware criminal statutes, including those related to theft, possession of stolen property, as well as a computer disinformation statute.
The letter also quotes Costello’s quote from a New York magazine deeply informed about the laptop saga.
“You feel like a voyeur,” Costello says as he reviews photographic images of Hunter’s life from his laptop.
Viewing the hard drive’s contents as a political weapon, Mr. Costello allegedly called Mr. Giuliani and told him, “You’re not going to believe what I have.”
Costello told DailyMail.com that the letter does not hold water, citing the repair order signed by Hunter Biden which states that unclaimed property becomes store property after 90 days.
‘It doesn’t matter. The assumption is that you are copying and disclosing something that does not belong to you,” she said. That’s what makes that whole letter a lie.
‘Show desperation. Because they now know that the Republicans control Congress, they’re going to wade into this and the whole story will come out, so Judgment Day, staring them right in the face, and they’re desperately trying to get out from under it. he.’
“No prosecutor in their right mind would look at this and treat it as serious,” he said.
Costello wrote to John Paul Mac Isaac, who reached out to Giuliani after Hunter Biden left his laptop at his Wilmington store.
The incident set off a chain of events that now has Hunter Biden seeking police investigations.
