James Clapper now claims he didn’t call Hunter Biden laptop ‘Russian disinfo’

The only people who even hear his utterings are those who believe every word he says without thinking and will not change their minds as a result.

The question that need to be asked under oath:

Exactly what are the earmarks and how were they originally established as earmarks with past solidified documented evidence?

I bet the so called earmarks evidence is very ambiguous and squishy. If so then it shows the intent of these so called intelligence influencers are simply talking out of their political asses.

Clapper has always been slow on the uptake. His first public
appearance he had yet to be fully informed of an incident
needing his feeble input. This, IIRC, was during The Won*s rule over US.
The train in Europe with American heroes?
A feeble old man who has no more smarts than SloJo.

They knew it was not Russian disinformation. The FBI had the laptop and it was FBI personnel who circulated the letter for signature.

That’s all DS and this moronic regime is: one big fat lie....one right after another.

[liberalh8ter]

Mission accomplished! There was so much election interference to get this buffoon in office it would be impossible to prosecute everyone involved.

Clapper is in competition with Bucket Joe for who is the best, straight faced, pathological liar.

[Midwesterner53]

Get each of them in front of the House committee, swear them to tell the truth and rake them over the coals.

Headline should be: “Professional Liar Also Lies When Not Being Paid To”

Politico deliberately distorted what we said. It was clear in paragraph five.

Clapper, Politico, etc. lying by structure. They know that 95% of the readers would get no further than the first paragraph.

[volunbeer]

Good point. The truth matters much less than the spin and narrative and our media is expert at both.

It is highly effective too.

A big number of Americans still believe that Trump colluded with Russia, celebrated racism at Charlottesville, cheated on his taxes, acted improperly in the Ukraine, and that he called for an armed insurrection on Jan 6th.

My best guess is that “big number” is between 33-49% of the nation. It is really hard to win an “election” when the ill-informed and unmotivated vote in bigger numbers than ever before. Not much margin for victory and that is before you factor in that 5-10% of “Republicans” will never vote for Trump because of the narrative (mostly media but he plays into it too).

Harry Reid said it best when confronted about his lies - “well it worked didn’t it?”

Brennen, Clapper and Comey, three lines, no waiting...

"The question that need to be asked under oath: Exactly what are the earmarks and how were they originally established as earmarks with past solidified documented evidence?"

Continuing the theme:

• Who drafted the letter?
• Who recruited the signers?
• Did any of the signatories have any pre-issuance contacts with the Biden campaign or the DNC regarding the letter or its contents?
• Were there people asked to sign, but refused?
• List all individuals or entities to whom the finished/signed letter was distributed to, and when.
• What was the intent of the letter's distribution - particularly to the media - if not to ensure further dissemination and sow doubts about the laptop's authenticity?
• When the letter was misinterpreted by those receiving it, did you communicate with them in order to correct them?
• Knowing now that the laptop is authentic, what do you have to say for yourself and your participation in this conspiracy?

"Da Clap is still alive?"

One thing about the Russians. They conveniently get rid of troublesome individuals when they have to.

[Billthedrill]

Sure, they were appalled that what they signed was misinterpreted - so appalled that it took until now to say anything about it. I don’t see why they bother - they lied and got away with it and it isn’t anything they didn’t do for a living.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 10 times, Goebbels and CNN. The American public laughed at Ted Baxter on TV and then a generation later fell for Ted Baxter II.

The president’s son is being investigated by the DOJ and a GOP-led House panel.
