Report: Hunter’s Team Weighs Suing Fox News, Eric Trump, and Rudy Giuliani for Defamation
Breitbart ^ | 12/12/2022 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 12/12/2022 12:05:31 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Hunter Biden’s defense team is weighed suing Fox News, Eric Trump, and Rudy Giuliani for defamation, according to a report.

In a strategy conference call in September, attorney Kevin Morris told Hunter and others on the call that the president’s son should be taking a bold approach in the public eye to combat Republican investigations into the Biden family business, according to the Washington Post. The more aggressive tactics include potentially suing Fox News, Eric Trump, and Giuliani for defamation in relation to the contents of Hunter’s “Laptop from Hell.”

Contents on the laptop, first reported by Breitbart News’s Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris, have revealed international business schemes on multiple continents while President Joe Biden was vice president and after he left office — which have raised questions about the president’s influences on decision making.

Kevin Morris has also assembled a team to compile opposition research against witnesses that may comply with GOP investigations. Two potential witnesses named in the Post article were Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski and laptop repair man John Paul Mac Isaac.

How about you get sued for hiding it through the election?

“opposition research against witnesses”

Used to be witness intimidation was a crime, yes?

They are going to hate “discovery” when all the email principals on Hunter’s laptop are called in to testify under oath.

In order to prove defamation, Hunter would have to prove the defamatory statements were false. The last Hunter wants is to defend the allegations in public.

Truth is a defense against defamation.

He must be confident of getting a bought-and-paid-for judge.

Let’s hope he does. The minute a suit like that is files those he is suing get amazingly broad discovery privileges and I can only imagine what will happen if his attorneys argue that they shouldn’t get what they ask for.

Slow Joe would get implicated with proof far faster than the GOP house will be able to do it in January.

Time to order another shipment of popcorn!

As I posted before, Hunter would have to show up for sworn testimony at depositions. Since he would be the plaintiff, he couldn’t refuse to answer questions or remain silent. His financial records would be fair game. He’d have to answer for all the porn supposedly on his laptop.

I doubt a smart lawyer would file any suit on behalf of Hunter since it would likely turn into discovery hell.

Shyster lawyers. If they file it in DC or NYC, where ALL DC corruption cases are adjudicated, they’ll probably win.

Wasn't it G. Gordon Liddy who observed, when being sued for similarly by John Dean, that "truth is the ultimate defense against a defamation lawsuit"?

Discovery is going to be FUN.

Do it Hunter. I want the trial on TV. The defense is simple. It’s called the truth. Half of America wants nothing to do with truth. They need to see the consequences and change their behavior before things get very ugly.

Probably. However, the appeal will overturn it all, easily.

Possibly, if DC is the venue.
