The Hunter Biden laptop saga is back in the news because of Twitter and our scoop from today that even WordPress debated taking down the NY Post story at the CMS level. But a reminder that the laptop itself has been widely reported on, including this exhaustive September cover story from Andrew Rice and Olivia Nuzzi in our sister publication New York.
Mac Isaac was a Mac guy in every sense. He had a tattoo of Apple’s smiley-face Finder icon on his bicep and a triangular FireWire icon on the back of his neck. In an unlucky twist for Biden, he was also a Trump supporter, and like everyone in Delaware, he knew the name of Joe Biden’s younger son.
The three laptops, Mac Isaac recalls, were all liquid damaged. One was dead. One was easily revived. The third, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, had a sticky, ruined keyboard. But Mac Isaac thought he could still salvage its data. The job would cost $85 and take a few days.
