50 Former Intel Officials Including Clapper and Brennan Sign Letter Saying Hunter Biden Emails Story is Russian Disinformation — Despite DNI John Ratcliffe’s Statement
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/20/2020 | Joe Hoft

Far-left Politico released a report yesterday claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story is Russian disinformation.

What can you say…

Politico writes:

More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

The letter, signed on Monday, centers around a batch of documents released by the New York Post last week that purport to tie the Democratic nominee to his son Hunter’s business dealings. Under the banner headline “Biden Secret E-mails,” the Post reported it was given a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive by President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who said he got it from a Mac shop owner in Delaware who also alerted the FBI.

While the letter’s signatories presented no new evidence, they said their national security experience had made them “deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case” and cited several elements of the story that suggested the Kremlin’s hand at work.

Of course, the far-left Huffington Post claimed the same:

“If we are right,” the group wrote in a letter, “this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote.” https://t.co/CXzz0qcaUd

And of course the list of Intel officials includes John Brennan and James Clapper.

Two top Obama officials whose word means nothing anymore after their efforts in the coup to remove President Trump:

Signatories of this deranged letter — which has no evidence, & ignores that no one disputes emails’ authenticity — include John Brennan & Jim Clapper, two key officials behind Russiagate. If they’re willing to sign this lunacy, it only adds new reasons to doubt their assertions. https://t.co/l92nWewkWl

Over the weekend other Democrats with little to no integrity were pushing the Russia narrative:

. @ChrisMurphyCT said he has seen intel that says Russia is responsible for the emails on the Hunter Biden laptop. @DNI_Ratcliffe says that isn’t true.

Murphy is saying he has seen something the DNI hasn’t. This is an outrageous claim.

DNI Ratcliffe stopped this false narrative in its tracks:

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe blasts Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff for leveraging a political narrative.

Yesterday, we reported about a photo of Hunter Biden’s alleged signature on paperwork for the Delaware computer repair shop has obtained by Fox News.

More lies from the left. Imagine that.

Help me out here. How does Hunter leaving his laptop at a store and then forgetting to pick it up have all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign? (at this point have to assume he did since nobody’s denying it) https://t.co/U71v3kxsXp

Giuliani: Here is evidence Hunter Biden rec’d $3.5 from the wife of Mayor of Moscow to help launder money

Deep State: You are a Russian spy for pointing this out this fact.

Trump won’t have to hunt them down like dogs since they provided a list.

Politico left out one important detail. I looked up the first 4 names mentioned. All were Obama officials. The entire list is likely made up of Obama officials. Is Politico lying by omission? Would it surprise anyone?

At some point even the most stupid, gullible Dem voter has to admit that it takes willful suspension of common sense to continue down the road of “the Russians did it.”

Surely, at some point.

Well, at least they’ve identified themselves as the ones to watch out for and fire.

We need Mitch Rapp and The Gray Man’s help with these guys; perhaps Pike Logan, too.

How in the bloody *@#&^$% hell would FORMER intel officials have access to resources that would allow them to make such a statement, unless, as usual, our intel agencies are a collander normally used for washing lettuce?

Yeah, the Russians got Hunter’s lawyer to ask for the computer back from the repair guy. Yeah, the Russians figured out a way to produce 40,000 emails that name names, refer to occurrences with date and location specific info, never mind the pix of Hunter. Oh, yeah, and this computer is dropped off at the repair store, with Hunter signing the receipt acknowledging the 90-day forfeit of same, something like 18 months ago. Oh, and the general corroboration supplied by Hunter’s felon associate. Again, Russian disinfo.

Quite frankly, if the intel agencies do not use the signatures at the bottom of this letter to immediately purge these agencies of these obvious stooges, they are boobs. But I repeat myself.

CYA - every one of the FORMER intelligence officials stands to be facing charges of malfeasance and misfeasance for their acts while in office.

Of course they are going to deny.

We are just going to have to win this election.
