Hunter Biden Planning Defamation Suit Against Fox News, Eric Trump, Delaware Computer Repairman John Paul Mac Isaac and Rudy Giuliani

Joe Biden’s crackhead, hooker-loving son Hunter is planning a defamation suit against Fox News, Eric Trump, Delaware computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac and Rudy Giuliani.

Hunter’s Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris spoke with Biden’s allies in a private meeting last year and suggested lawsuits will be filed against Hunter’s accusers, according to the Washington Post.

The meeting took place last September and at one point Hunter Biden joined in via video conference.

“Morris, at the meeting in his California home, described defamation lawsuits the team could pursue against the presidential son’s critics, including Fox News, Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani. He outlined extensive research on two potential witnesses against Hunter Biden — a spurned business partner named Tony Bobulinski and a computer repairman named John Paul Mac Isaac.” the Washington Post reported.

The Washington Post reported:

Hunter Biden’s friend and lawyer Kevin Morris was blunt in laying out his thoughts at a strategy session last September on an expected onslaught of investigations by House Republicans: It was crucial, he suggested, for Hunter Biden’s camp to be more aggressive.

Morris, at the meeting in his California home, described defamation lawsuits the team could pursue against the presidential son’s critics, including Fox News, Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani. He outlined extensive research on two potential witnesses against Hunter Biden — a spurned business partner named Tony Bobulinski and a computer repairman named John Paul Mac Isaac.

At one point, Hunter Biden himself happened to call into the meeting, connecting briefly by video to add his own thoughts.

“They feel that there is a whole counternarrative missing because of the whole Hunter-hater narrative out there,” said liberal activist David Brock, who attended the meeting. “What we really got into was more the meat of it, the meat of what a response would look like.” Brock was planning for a new group, Facts First USA, focused on fighting the looming House GOP investigations.

The meeting was a glimpse into a sprawling infrastructure that is rapidly, almost frantically, assembling to combat Republicans’ plans to turn Hunter Biden into a major news story when the GOP takes over the House next year. The risk for Hunter Biden, and possibly for President Biden as well, is that this hodgepodge of efforts is not fully coordinating and does not share a unified approach, according to people involved in the effort who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal dynamics.

Ruptured pipe caused largest Keystone pipeline oil spill ever

A ruptured pipe dumped enough oil into a northeastern Kansas creek to nearly fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

A ruptured pipe dumped enough oil this week into a northeastern Kansas creek to nearly fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, becoming the largest onshore crude pipeline spill in nine years and surpassing all the previous ones on the same pipeline system combined, according to federal data.

The Keystone pipeline spill in a creek running through rural pastureland in Washington County, Kansas, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northwest of Kansas City, also was the biggest in the system's history, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data. The operator, Canada-based TC Energy, said the pipeline that runs from Canada to Oklahoma lost about 14,000 barrels, or 588,000 gallons.

The spill raised questions for environmentalists and safety advocates about whether TC Energy should keep a federal government permit that has allowed the pressure inside parts of its Keystone system — including the stretch through Kansas — to exceed the typical maximum permitted levels. With Congress facing a potential debate on reauthorizing regulatory programs, the chair of a House subcommittee on pipeline safety took note of the spill Friday.

A U.S. Government Accountability Office report last year said there had been 22 previous spills along the Keystone system since it began operating in 2010, most of them on TC Energy property and fewer than 20 barrels. The total from those 22 events was a little less than 12,000 barrels, the report said.

“I’m watching this situation closely to learn more about this latest oil leak and inform ways to prevent future releases and protect public safety and the environment,” Democratic U.S. Rep. Donald Payne Jr., of New Jersey, tweeted.

TC Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the spill has been contained. The EPA said the company built an earthen dam across the creek about 4 miles downstream from the pipeline rupture to prevent the oil from moving into larger waterways.

Randy Hubbard, the county's emergency management director, said the oil traveled only about a quarter mile and there didn't appear to be any wildlife deaths.

The company said it is doing around-the-clock air-quality checks and other environmental monitoring. It also was using multiple trucks that amount to giant wet vacuums to suck up the oil.

Past Keystone spills have led to outages that lasted about two weeks, and the company said it still is evaluating when it can reopen the system.

The EPA said no drinking water wells were affected and oil-removal efforts will continue into next week. No one was evacuated, but the Kansas Department of Health and Environment warned people not to go into the creek or allow animals to wade in.

“At the time of the incident, the pipeline was operating within its design and regulatory approval requirements,” the company said in a statement.

Whistleblower fired after alleging voter security breach by Florida elections office

An elections official in the Orange County Supervisor of Elections (SOE) office in Orlando, Fla. allegedly let unredacted voter information be accessed by unauthorized personnel.

An employee in the Orange County Supervisor of Elections (SOE) office in Orlando, Fla., exfiltrated private voter data to hundreds of workers, potentially jeopardizing the security of thousands of protected voters, a whistleblower alleges.

Brian Freid, a whistleblower in the Orange County SOE, was fired from his position as the Information Systems Director in October after he called for the firing of another SOE official who was found by two separate investigations to have allowed unredacted voter data to be accessed by unauthorized personnel and kept private employee information and pirated software on his computer.

In March, a technician asked for the information of all 900,000 Orange County voters to be put on a thumb drive in violation of official procedures, Freid told Just the News. Freid was told by two election officials and the Supervisor of Elections that the technician was new and didn't understand the process.

Of the 900,000 voters, 4,100 are protected voters — such as domestic abuse victims, police, firefighters, politicians, and judges — whose personally identifiable information (PII) was supposed to be redacted.

The official had allegedly allowed unredacted voter database information of all Orange County voters to be downloaded on thumb drives and sent out with more than 200 temp workers who were responsible for setting up ePoll book tablets the weekend before elections. The thumb drives were supposed to be blank when they were sent out, as they are only to be used on the morning of Election Day to transfer the voter database between ePoll book tablets.

An internal investigation of the offending official began in May after Freid learned that the official had solved an issue with the SOE financial system when he wasn't supposed to have authorization to do so.

The internal investigation found that the official had three pieces of pirated software, employee HIPAA information and tax returns on his computer, access to SOE employees' email inboxes and all administrative privileges and logins for all the office's systems.

Following the internal investigation, Freid recommended that the official be terminated, but Democratic SOE Bill Cowles ordered a third party investigation instead.

Well that's completely fucked up matrix style

Jimmy Fallon, Madonna, Serena Williams, and other celebs hit with class action lawsuit claiming they conspired to promote Bored Ape NFTs at inflated prices while taking hidden payoffs

A class action lawsuit filed Thursday accuses a host of celebrities of promoting Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) non-fungible tokens at artificially increased prices without disclosing their financial stakes or personal interests, thereby misleading investors and violating both state and federal laws.

The suit details how celebrity promoters, allegedly engaged in "unlawful, unfair, and deceptive practices," played a significant and lucrative role in a conspiracy engineered by Hollywood elites.

Fungible outrage

Deadline obtained a copy of the lawsuit, which names the leadership of Yuga Labs — the blockchain start-up company behind the BAYC NFTs — along with various executives and celebrities, including Madonna (Louise Ciccone), Paris Hilton, Jimmy Fallon, Justin Bieber, Gwyneth Paltrow, Serena Williams, Kevin Hart, Stephen Curry, and DJ Khaled.

The crypto-payments startup MoonPay was also named among the defendants.

The suit claims that Yuga Labs conspired with "highly-connected Hollywood talent agent" Guy Oseary and MoonPay to promote and sell a suite of digital assets.

Oseary signed a representation deal with Yuga Labs in October 2021. Madonna is another Oseary client.

According to the complaint, Yuga executives and Oseary together schemed to "leverage their vast network of A-list musicians, athletes, and celebrity clients and associates to misleadingly promote and sell the Yuga Financial Products."

Their promotional campaign was "wildly successful, generating billions of dollars in sales and re-sales," said the complaint.

"The manufactured celebrity endorsements and misleading promotions regarding the launch of an entire BAYC ecosystem … were able to artificially increase the interest in and price of the BAYC NFTs during the Relevant Period, causing investors to purchase these losing investments at drastically inflated prices," it continued.

The lawsuit added that by "promoting the BAYC NFTs on their social media platforms and through their reported conduct, [the celebrities] provided assistance that was a substantial factor in causing the NAYC NFTs price to both surge and do so long enough to allow all Defendants to sell their BAYC NFTs for huge profits at the expense of their followers and investors."

The value of these NFTs dropped significantly in May, bottomed out in August, and crashed again after the FTX collapse.

Cleaning out their adoring fans

Celebrities did not appear too keen to disclose that they were more than just BAYC customers. Deadline reported that, before the crash, celebrities like Jimmy Fallon publicly praised the Bad Ape NFTs, claiming to be customers themselves. Fallon, for instance, had done so on "The Tonight Show" in November 2021.

Paris Hilton, among the defendants, came onto Fallon's show in January to join him in once again pushing the NFTs.
