Ratcliffe smacks Schiff down about Hunter's laptop
Flopping Aces ^ | 10-19-20 | DrJohn

Posted on 10/19/2020 10:02:11 AM PDT by Starman417

Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, spent the last four years crying "Russia, Russia, Russia." Schiff claimed there was evidence of Russian collusion "in plain sight" but was the only one who could ever see it. Schiff sees Russians everywhere and they're all imaginary.

When the story about Hunter Biden's laptop broke, Schiff once again fingered the Russians

“We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin. That’s been clear for well over a year now that they’ve been pushing this false narrative about this vice president and his son.”
We all knew that Trump was a Russian agent too. John Ratcliffe is having none of it. Ratcliffe took the unusual step of publicly slamming Schiff's disinformation campaign.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Monday said that Hunter Biden’s laptop “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” amid claims from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff suggesting otherwise.

Ratcliffe, during an exclusive interview on FOX Business’ “Mornings with Maria,” was asked about the allegations from Schiff, D-Calif., who over the weekend said that the Hunter Biden emails suggesting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had knowledge of, and was allegedly involved in, his son’s foreign business dealings.

“It’s funny that some of the people who complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing the intelligence,” Ratcliffe said. “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.”

He added: “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.”

Ratcliffe went on to say that it is “simply not true.”

Meanwhile, more details about the Biden computer are emerging.

Hunter Biden also had business dealings in Kazakhstan: report

Emails: Burisma Adviser Told Hunter Biden His ‘Ultimate Purpose’ Was to ‘Close Down’ Investigations

The walls are starting to come down on the Biden's

Exclusive — Peter Schweizer: Hunter Biden’s Flipped Business Partner Provided 26,000 Emails

“What you’re really seeing in these emails is the underbelly of how these relationships and corrupt deals happen,” Schweizer said. “There’s no question about that, and that’s one of the things I think people are going to get. They’re going to get an inside look because as we are doing—we did on the first story and we’ll do it on all of them, we’re not just going to be reporting on the emails. We’re actually going to place the emails up so people can read them themselves. To your point, to underline your point, yes these are totally separate from the New York Post emails. I don’t have access and have not had access to those emails and what we are dealing with in our case is—you’re exactly 100 percent right. These are not printouts, these are not PDFs—we actually go into the Gmail account and pull the emails out and download them. They are timestamped. These are real. These are genuine. That’s one of the reasons we felt it was so important to pursue this. Cooney is taking a risk because he’s trusting us with this trove of emails which includes personal information. So he’s taking quite a risk in sharing this information but he feels like it needs to get out because people need to understand how these deals were done.”
Remember- Now that the story is exploding, democrats and their deep state media are doing the best to smother it. Ironically, the same people who tried their best to prove the totally fallacious Steele dossier are simply dismissing the computer story. There is no similar interest.

If this is all made up or as the media wants us dummies to believe .. Russian interference:

The laptop was in the hands of the pawn shop owner on April 19th 2019.

Biden wins the democrat nomination in June of 2020

Anyone see a problem here?

Seems it would be pretty easy for Hunter Biden to make a public statement.

Kabuki. The only accountability for Schiff is with the voters. The voters that elect Schiff love his lies.

“Anyone see a problem here?”

While I believe the charges against the Bidens, and the pictures add credibility, something isn’t right. Aside from the timeline, it doesn’t stack up that a rich person would walk into a small time mom and pop repair shop and drop off some laptops.

Schiff needs to be investigated for his connection to Ed Buck, serial killer of young black men Ed Buck..there were rumors that Schiff was seen at his apartment in West Hollywood numerous times, and I doubt it was to play checkers

Does it seem more or less ludicrous than for the FBI to conspire with the subject of an investigation to destroy evidence?

There is a bigger problem in the “right wing media” this morning apparently.

Newsmax TV has had several guest on this morning who are basically saying the allegations about Biden are not that big of a deal, it’s about Hunter, and the censorship by Twitter and Fakebook is the bigger story.

What in the hell are they thinking?

Nobody would give Hunter money if he was not selling influence. Nobody. We know from the emails that Biden got half the take and stakes in equity.

The nominee for a major political party was selling his office and selling out America!

This scandal is ALL about Joe Biden. Why is “our media” soft-peddling this story?

Outrageous. Censorship and partisanship by Twitter and Fakebook are built into the cake. The story should be solely about Quid Pro Joe.

A few things come to mind since this story broke.

The FBI is as corrupt as it was was under Hoover. Wray needs to be fired. Grennell put in to clean house.

Biden's 'lid' is to protect him from spilling his guts live and in color in front of the press and supporters. It would be the last nail in the Democrat party coffin.

Lastly, who else is involved? Something like this is a pyramid. All those downsteam have to be paid off to keep silent. Who in the Dim leadership knew about the graft and got kickbacks from it? Hillary? Obama? Pelosi? Which of the rats is going to rat out the rest?

The next three days before the debate is going to be the pinnacle of this election. Whatever is exposed before the debate will determine the fate of the nation.

He was high, and probably paranoid, too, which goes with drug abuse, especially cocaine.

He probably thought some unknown hole-in-the-wall was better for anonymity than an IT person who knew him.

Oh, dropping the laptops off at a mom and pop shop is far less believable than the FBI conspiring with any Democrat. It’s been presented that the FBI has a hand in the fouled up timeline.

And if Biden wins, this all goes away.

Wray is the flak catcher. The real criminals are operating anonymously below him in the chain of command.

I can see it all now.

Biden wins the election and then steps down to deal with the corruption cases.

Kamala steps up to the presidency and her first move is to pardon the Biden family in order to move on in the best interest of the country.

And the swamp is reestablished, continues in its corrupt path stronger than ever. Having defeated Trump and his naive followers it's doubtful anyone will question their preeminence ever again.
