Join Chuck and Sam in an exclusive interview with Patrick Byrne, founder of Overstock.com, as they delve into compelling discussions, including the details behind Hunter Biden's defamation lawsuit against him.
Listen at 39 minutes and 3 seconds:
Chuck Warren: Before we go to China, can you briefly tell us about the Hunter Biden lawsuit against you for defamation?
Patrick Byrne: Well, he filed that three or four days after Congress subpoenaed him. So my guess is he filed it so he can say, you know, I say my response is anytime anywhere, Hunter, we haven't got the rights. I mean, I was part of obtaining the full laptop and it’s hilarious.
This guy's suing me for defamation.
Have you seen his laptop? How do you hurt that guy's reputation?
You know, a guy who's got his 13-year-old niece. I won't even say on the air what he's doing with his 13-year-old niece.
But I think he may have filed that because it means if he is finally dragged in front of Congress, maybe when he gets asked questions, he's going to say, well, since I'm now in litigation with Patrick Byrne about this, I can't discuss these subjects, so I'll take the Fifth Amendment.
Chuck Warren: That makes sense. That sounds like a high-priced attorney to give that advice.
What exactly did he say you defamed about his character? I mean, seriously, what is he saying you defamed that no one knows already?
Sam Stone: I'm not sure you can do any more than the laptop did, but okay.
Patrick Byrne: I haven't even read it. I get these lawsuits, I don't even spend two minutes on them. I mail them to a lawyer and I say, you take care of this for me. It's a joke. It really is funny. What could you possibly defame this? Even the people who were trying to go through his laptop did not have the full version. I got a hacker who got the image of the hard drive.
And even Hunter, before he turned that laptop into the John Paul Mac Isaac, the Delaware Repair Shop, he bleached it. He deleted and then bleached it 400,000 files, the very worst files. He deleted and bleached it. So what he left on that everyone knew about was actually the good stuff. The worst stuff, deliberately deleted and bleached it. There's actually a way to reverse bleach bidding, if you know what you're doing. And we bleached, reversed it. We got, we recovered those 400,000 files, which included signature pages, which he had deleted. They included texts, all the texts from his phone that filled in a bunch of missing pieces.
So the Marco Polo operation by the wonderful Garrett Ziegler, they were the only people researching Hunter who had access to the full hard drive, including those 400,000 files.
As I recall, Garrett has said that they've documented like 455 felonies undocumented on that laptop and there's a Marco Polo report that spells it all out
Chuck Warren: Just unbelievable.
