Daily Beast: “On Wednesday afternoon, a group of reporters, among them a journalist for The Daily Beast, spoke with the owner of the shop, a man named John Paul Isaac who lives in Wilmington, Delaware. Isaac appeared nervous throughout. Several times, he said he was scared for his life and for the lives of those he loved. He appeared to not have a grasp on the timeline of the laptop arriving at his shop and its disappearance from it. He also said the impeachment of President Trump was a ‘sham.’ Social media postings indicate that Isaac is an avid Trump supporter and voted for him in the 2016 election.”
“Isaac refused to answer specific questions about whether he had been in contact with Rudy Giuliani before the [alleged Hunter Biden] laptop drop off or at any other time before the Post’s publication. Pressed on his relationship with Giuliani, he replied: ‘When you’re afraid and you don’t know anything about the depth of the waters that you’re in, you want to find a lifeguard.’ Seeming to realize he’d said too much, he added: ‘Ah shit.’ So, Rudy was your lifeguard, the reporters asked. ‘No comment,’ he replied.”
