The New York Post inadvertently identified the original source of its dubious
Hunter Biden story 紐約郵報無意間透漏其拜登兒子故事的可疑來源
附註:紐約郵報是偏右派報紙，由評價兩極的媒體大亨魯柏·梅鐸擁有。
文章重點是:根據NYP的報導，記者追蹤到消息源頭，也就是聲稱維修了亨特拜登
蘋果電腦的技術人員。他的店在Wilmington, DE也是拜登一家所在的州。
(Two photos published in the story seem to point to a specific Mac repair shop
in the Trolley Square neighborhood of Wilmington, Delaware, owned by a man
named John Paul Mac Isaac.)
此技術人員Issac也承認自己是當事人，而他在十二月時接到傳票，在把電腦交給FBI前
自己拷貝了硬碟。
Business Insider引用The Daily Beast (左派媒體)對技術人員的訪問，
認為技術人員的故事兜不攏。
由於消息來源可疑，並沒有注重商譽的報紙跟著報導。
根據The Daily Beast對Issac的訪問，記者發現Issac對於一整串事情的時間線
解釋不一致。
"Throughout the entire interview, Isaac switched back and forth from saying
he reached out to law enforcement after viewing the files in the laptop to
saying that it was actually the Federal Bureau of Investigation that reached
out to him," the report said. "At one point, Isaac claimed that he was
emailing someone from the FBI about the laptop. At another point he claimed a
special agent from the Baltimore office had contacted him after he alerted
the FBI to the device's existence. At another point, he said the FBI reached
out to him for 'help accessing his drive.'"
The Daily Beast記者說，整廠訪問中，Issac不停推翻自己原先的說詞。
一開始，他說他看完筆電裡的資料後才自己主動聯絡司法機關、後來他又宣稱
是司法機關先主動連繫他。
Issac又宣稱他先寫email聯絡在FBI的某人並提到這個筆電。在另一個時候，
Issac又說是向FBI提到這筆電的存在後，一個在巴爾蒂摩辦公室的探員才連繫他。
然後又有一個說詞是FBI連繫他，請他幫忙打開電腦。(FBI會需要一個外面的平民
技師幫忙解蘋果電腦????)
有趣的是，其實報導裡提到仔細看NYP提供的資料，
我們是可以隱約看到簽名的探員名字，這個探員名字的確曾多次出現在報導中，
他似乎也的確是專門在辦兒童色情片的探員。
( But the available evidence seems to show the Joshua Wilson who signed the
subpoena for Hunter Biden's laptop and the Joshua Wilson who investigates
child pornography for the FBI are the same person. This raises the
possibility, not explored by the Post, that the FBI issued the subpoena for
reasons unrelated to Hunter Biden's role in Ukraine and Burisma.)
所以縱使假設這個傳票是真的，探員也是真的，兒童色情片在電腦裡也是真的，
其實也不一定真的是與亨特拜登的俄羅斯門有直接相關。
而Issac最後告訴記者，他並沒有在電腦裡看到兒童色情的資料。
而這段發言只是讓整件事情產生更多疑點，如果Issac真的沒有看到兒童色情的資料，
為什麼一個專門辦兒童色情的探員會簽名在那個傳票上？
