I would not characterize Hunter Biden’s legal strategy as “giving in”. Actually, I think he might have a pretty good case against the computer repair shop owner and buy extension others who looked at and published private information. Plus, as the saying goes: the best defense is a good offense.

When I first heard that the computer repair guy had turned over Hunter Biden‘s laptop to the New York Post and Rudy Giuliani I wondered if that were legal. It certainly seems unethical. The claim that Hunter Biden forgot to return to get the laptop seems weak. The computer guy needed to make a good faith effort to return the computer, and Hunter Biden is a fairly well-known person. It shouldn’t of been too difficult to get in touch with him.

Honestly, it freaked me out a bit when I heard the computer guy had poured through Hunter Biden’s emails and photos. I’ve taken a computer in to be repaired once or twice in my life and I certainly didn’t think they were looking at my personal information.

Just because you give a computer repair person access to do something doesn’t mean they have access to everything. If you hire a plumber to fix your kitchen sink, you don’t expect him to be rifling through your wife’s dresser drawer, fondling her undergarments. I put that in for HtS as I know that’s a major concern of his.
