Oh snippity snappity. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe went on Fox News to talk with Maria Bartiromo and he claims that Hunter Biden's alleged laptop is specifically "not part of some Russian disinformation campaign" in complete opposition to modern day dingbat and House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Adam Schiff, who suggested so.

Ratcliffe stated the following, that "It’s funny that some of the people who complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing the intelligence... Unfortunately, it is Adam Schiff who said the intelligence community believes the Hunter Biden laptop and emails on it are part of a Russian disinformation campaign... Let me be clear: the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. And we have shared no intelligence with Adam Schiff, or any member of Congress."

His comments are not opinion. The are news facts.

This story is exploding right in front of us and, more importantly, at Biden’s doorstep.

This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out. These emails from Bevan Cooney are the kind of evidence that is going to come out about Biden family crimes. In an effort to have it all declared fake, “Russian disinformation” the Biden campaign came up with a plan to create fake laptop. Use some actual pictures of HB using drugs (that’s no secret or shock), but hire some special effects experts to fake some sex videos, even some of him supposedly raping young Chinese girls. Last night on the Bill Cunningham radio show, Wayne Allyn Root said people he trusts have seen what’s on the hard drive, even videos involving HB raping and “torturing” underage Chinese girls. (This was the moment I started to think, if that’s true, they have to be faked)

Make sure it makes its way to Rudy Giuliani who will go ballistic, Steve Bannon & others. We learned the other day the FBI is looking at the laptop, not to validate it’s contents, but to see if it’s fake, possibly Russian disinformation. These are the talking points, Schiff, the MSM & others have been spewing out. Soon the FBI will declare the laptop is a fake.

Suddenly the Bevan Cooney emails and anything else can be dismissed as fakes https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/10/18/exclusive-peter-schweizer-hunter-bidens-flipped-business-partner-provided-26000-emails/

if he agreed with him he wouldn’t be Radcliff he’d be DNI or “12 Intelligence Agencies”. Media is sick

Yes it does sound crazy. Way too risky, and even if it were true - it would have been more effective months ago.

Ratcliff actually never said that the laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign, he said that the intelligence community does not believe it is part of a disinformation campaign, and that they never told Schiff that it was because there is no evidence to believe that it is.

He is calling Schiff a liar.

Everyone confuses the point where Rudy Guiliani comes into the picture.

First, the blind computer tech handed the laptop over to the FBi, NOT Rudy.

Second, BEFORE the blind tech handed over the laptop to the FBI, he had the foresight to make a copy of the emails on the alleged HB laptop.

Third, the blind tech sent a copy to Rudy’s office as the blind computer tech was concerned that nothing was done about people like HB and the Biden family. This has morphed into something else such as being afraid for his life and that is why he handed it over,

Lastly, no laptop was given to Rudy or his office since the laptop in question was in the hands of the FBI long before Rudy was given a copy of the emails and anything else on the drive of the laptop in question.

People saying Rudy was given the laptop in question are wrong, he never received the laptop in question. Why is this designation important? It goes to the denouncing of the evidence. If Rudy was never given the laptop in question, then the claim can be made the evidence was contrived by Rudy and others. THis is because the FBI has sat on this and kept it from the world. So when Sleepin Creepin Joe is asked about a laptop given to Rudy, Biden can answer truthfully that Rudy does not have anything of the sort. It is how the Clinton’s always denied there was no evidence. They used the semantics of the question to circumnavigate the truthfulness in the answer to the question. For example I give you a Lilly on a book and someone claims I gave you a rose. I can say I never gave you a rose as that would be truthful. If someone says I gave you a flower, I can say I was never given a flower. I don’t have to add more like saying “I was given a book that had a flower on it”. The question dealt with a flower and only a flower. Since I was given a book that just happened to have a flower on it, I can truthfully answer no I was not given a flower. The Biden’s are doing the same thing here.

I heard you out but I think your theory is far less likely than the simpler explanation that Hunter went off and did some naughty things. Why is that so hard to believe? We don’t know anything - “young” could be 16 years old. Or there could be videos of “young Chinese” having sex with each other (child porn, but not with Hunter as a participant), or it could be any number of things. To speculate about the wildly improbable notion of a “deep fake” operation is logically unsound until more facts are known. See “Occams Razor”.

Rudy held up a laptop, on one of his latest vids...saying, here, on this laptop...paraphrasing....

So, it was just a prop?

Even if it were a disinformation campaign, there is independent confirmation by identified sources that some of the damaging emails were accurate and true.

He doesn’t claim it, he states it with certainty, because it is a FACT, and it his JOB to KNOW.

OAN reporter that saw the pictures called it underage obsessions. She didn’t go the extra mile and say it was CP or suspected CP.

Just saw for myself a behind the scenes look at the #HunterBiden hard drive:

Drugs, underage obsessions, power deals...

Druggie Hunter makes Anthony Weiner’s down under selfie addiction look normal.

#BidenCrimeFamily has a lot of apologizing to do.

Well, since he was given a backup copy of the original data on the disk drive of the HB laptop, he can’t look at the contents of said backup without putting it on a PC/VM/something with a compatible environment first. So it made sense to me that he meant the laptop he held up had copies of all the data from the HB laptop.
