With the FBI currently in the limelight after the unprecedented raid on the home of former President Donald Trump, taking serious criticism about an apparent two-tiered system of justice the agency pursues, a timely accusation came out this week from the computer repair shop owner who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.
John Paul Mac Isaac said in his book, “American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth,” that an FBI agent threatened him to stay silent, according to the New York Post.
In an excerpt of the book, Isaac said two federal agents came to his Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del. in December 2019 to take possession of the laptop following a subpoena, the Post reported, noting that the repairman had volunteered to hand the laptop over to the feds two months earlier.
The alleged threat came after Isaac joked with the officers about obscuring their names when he wrote a book about the episode.
“Hey, lads, I’ll remember to change your names when I write the book,” Isaac recounted, in the book.
“Agent Wilson kept walking but Agent DeMeo paused and turned to face me,” he wrote. The agent purportedly told him, “It is our experience that nothing ever happens to people that don’t talk about these things.”
After locking his door when the agents departed, Isaac said he was left to “digest the encounter.”
“Was I being paranoid, or had what the agent just told me been a direct threat, or at best a thinly veiled one?” he writes.
After his private information was leaked, Isaac said he would eventually be forced to shutter his business in response to all the harassment he faced over the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at this shop. He would also hit back in the face of all the accusations being thrown his way.
“He filed a multimillion-dollar defamation suit in May against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and a string of media outlets, including CNN, the Daily Beast and Politico, saying they falsely accused him of peddling Russian disinformation,” the Post reported.
On Thursday, FBI Director Chris Wray released a statement excoriating “unfounded attacks on the integrity of the FBI.” For many, the bureau’s recent history — mush of it involving Trump — has severely eroded the confidence the American people have in the bureau.

As for the FBI’s actions of late, social media was quick to refresh Wray’s memory, as seen here:
They’ve spent six years searching for a crime. They’ve fabricated FISA warrants, doctored evidence, used Russian agents to create dossiers, they’ve lied and leaked and they never found ANYTHING. Now, they’re so emboldened and desperate to stop him that they raided his home.

Remember when your counterterrorism team met to discuss which terrorist threat label you should apply to parents who are angry with their school board?

The agency that ran the Russia collusion hoax, the Whitmer kidnap hoax, went to war against the parents of school-age children, and did nothing during the violent summer of 2020, the attacks on Supreme Court Justices, churches, and pregnancy centers, has thoughts. https://t.co/rQsIztYYBA

The FBI officials who tagged school boards parents as “terrorists,” leaked info to the press and conspired in texts to compromise political opponents and lied about it under oath, who altered a CIA email for probable cause to spy, already destroyed your credibility. https://t.co/GNStL0iXH0
