Says laptop data show extensive cash ties to Reds
and that Joe has been lying to America for years

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon said Sunday that all the information on Hunter Biden’s laptop exposed in a recent report is true and proves that presidential nominee Joe Biden has “lied” for “years.”
Bannon, who is currently awaiting trial for on fraud charges, also asserted that Hunter’s lawyer, George Mesires, has been trying to recover the laptop hard drive and threatened to make letters proving that public, if Biden’s team denies the laptop is theirs.
“Joe Biden has lied about this for years,” Bannon said an Skype interview with Sky News after emails emerged around Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings.
The scandal began on Wednesday when The New York Post published emails and photographs from a laptop allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son, that had been left at a repair shop and never retrieved.
Messages from the hard drive suggested that Hunter Biden arranged a meeting between his father, then vice president of the US, and an executive at a Ukrainian energy firm where he sat on the board of directors.
In one message, Hunter reportedly says that a proposed deal with China’s biggest private energy company would be “interesting for me and my family.”
In a video interview with an Australian news person, Bannon says the laptop data show the extensive financial interactions of the Biden family with the Chinese communists.
Bannon said that what is “stunning about these emails… is that [Joe] Biden has basically said to the American people, 'I knew nothing about it.' Now we actually see they had meetings set up.”
“That sets the predicate that Joe Biden has lied consistently over the last couple years to the American people,” Bannon said.
“He lied on the debate stage with President Trump.”
Bannon also pointed out that Fox News contacted people included in the emails.

“What was so stunning is that they reported last night that one, the guys on the emails said absolutely the meetings happened,” Bannon said.
“This is not off of some Russia intelligence operation. That emails correct, the meanings correct and, by the way, that 10 percent of the equity is Joe Biden’s.”
On Sunday, Trump created a new nickname for his opponent based on that detail.
“Hunter Biden's laptop is a disaster for the entire Biden family, but especially for his father, Joe. It is now a proven fact, and cannot be denied, that all of that info is the REAL DEAL,” Trump tweeted.
Trump in a tweet called his opponent "10% Joe." He wrote, “That makes it impossible for '50%, or 10% Joe,' to ever assume the office of the President!”
Bannon, who served as chief strategist for the first seven months of Trump’s presidency, told The Australian on Sunday that Hunter's lawyer, Mesires, emailed the repair shop to try to get the laptop and then contacted him for the hard drive.
“Hunter Biden's lawyer has come to us both with phone calls and with emails saying, 'Hey, I've got to get the hard drive back.’ This is not some Russian intelligence operation—they admit it's their hard drive,” Bannon said.
The lawyer sent legal letters to the repair shop in Delaware, which Bannon said he is holding on to because he was taught by Andrew Breitbart to “put it out, let them lie and then bang, drop them on the lie, let them lie some more, drop it again.”
Five days ago, Mesires posted a statement concerning the Biden allegations.

“We have the emails from the lawyer, if we need to release them, we'll release them,” Bannon said.
Bannon, who informed The Post about the laptop, said Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani contacted him for media strategy on exposing the emails after getting the hard drive from a third-party.
The FBI is reportedly investigating whether the Biden laptop scandal is part of a Russian disinformation campaign to damage the Democratic presidential nominee.
In August, Bannon was arrested and charged with money laundering and a conspiracy to commit mail fraud linked to a private fundraising campaign called We Build the Wall.
In a related development, Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA analyst, political activist and friend of the family of the laptop repairman, defended the authenticity of the laptop data, giving the following account:
This is the story of an American patriot, an honorable man, John Paul Mac Isaac, 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 Paul Mac Isaac, examined the three and determined that one was beyond recovery, one was okay and the data on the hard drive of the third could be recovered. Hunter signed the service ticket and John Paul Mac Isaac 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 Isaac 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 Isaac 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 Isaac. 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.
In the ensuing months, starting with the impeachment trial of President Trump, he heard nothing from the FBI and knew that none of the evidence from the hard drive had been shared with President Trump's defense team.
The lack of action and communication with the FBI led John Paul to make the fateful decision to contact Rudy Giuliani's office and offer a copy of the drive to the former mayor. We now know that Rudy accepted John Paul's offer and that Rudy's team shared the information with the New York Post.
John Paul Mac Isaac is not responsible for the emails, images and videos recovered from Hunter Biden's computer. He was hired to do a job, he did the job and submitted an invoice for the work. Hunter Biden, for some unexplained reason, never responded and never asked for the computer. But that changed last Tuesday, October 13, 2020. A person claiming to be Hunter Biden's lawyer called John Paul Mac Isaac and asked for the computer to be returned. Too late. That horse had left the barn and was with the FBI.
John Paul, acting under Delaware law, understood that Hunter's computer became the property of his business 90 days after it had been abandoned.
At no time did John Paul approach any media outlet or tabloid offering to sell salacious material. A person of lesser character might have tried to profit. But that is not the essence of John Paul Mac Isaac. He had information in his possession that he learned, thanks to events subsequent to receiving the computer for a repair job, was relevant to the security of our nation. He did what any clear thinking American would do–he, through his father, contacted the FBI. When the FBI finally responded to his call for help, John cooperated fully and turned over all material requested.
The failure here is not John Paul's. He did his job. The FBI dropped the ball and, by extension, the Department of Justice. Sadly, this is becoming a disturbing, repeating theme–the FBI through incompetence or malfeasance is not doing its job.
Any news outlet that is publishing the damnable lie that John Paul is part of some subversive effort to interfere in the United States Presidential election is on notice. That is slander and defamation. Fortunately, the evidence from Hunter Biden's computer is in the hands of the FBI and Rudy Giuliani and, I suspect, the U.S. Senate. Those with the power to do something must act. John Paul Mac Isaac's honor is intact. We cannot say the same for those government officials who have a duty to deal with this information.
