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:

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.
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

Ummmmmm...it says former officials.
From whence should they be fired? Private companies?
The former officials are providing DNC disinformation. They should be stripped of any “former” govt benefits including pensions.
Well this will give all the evil MSM something to go with, between now and whenever. Even though it isn’t true, they will report THIS as the truth, and throw accusations at POTUS and Rudy about trying to create some false theme of Joe and Hunter being corrupt. “with no evidence”...
And America replied...
Did I miss their letter claiming that the Steele Dossier was Russian disinformation trying to influence how Americans vote?
You gotta give it up to those dang Russians. They are darn good at this! Unprecedented, in fact.
It’s not important, but it cracks me up how the Hoi polloi wannabes always have such obnoxious signatures.
Answer me this : Do 'former intelligence officials' retain their security clearances after they leave government service ?
It's bad enough that Obungler promoted sycophants in the military and in intelligence agencies hierarchy,
but when they leave service they continue to spew the progressive propaganda that got them that high position in the first place.
I agree that they are "former", but I also realize that those security clearances and coworker contacts
are used to sell influence, and have value ($$$).
...will should be going.
Yes... most from the Bush Administration most likely. This is precisely why Trump won in 2016.
The FBI not only had the Biden laptop during the whole Ukraine impeachment attempt. it’s highly likely they pushed for the impeachment as yet another “insurance policy” to try and destroy Pres. Trump.
This also explains why once Biden was the Dem nominee and privy to security briefings, he made special mention of those rascally Russians being involved in supposedly tampering with the 2020 election. The FBI, working with the DNC, was trying to fabricate a cover story in case info on the laptop leaked out.
“has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Notice they don’t say “Russian DISinformation operation”. They’ve basically admitted that the story is TRUE, even if they are trying to blame the release of the info on the Russians.
This just shows you how BAD our ‘intelligence’ services have gotten.
Well, at least they’ve identified themselves as the ones to watch out for and fire.
Ummmmmm...it says former officials.
From whence should they be fired? Private companies?
.....
I read past it. The other part still holds...part of the swamp...
Most of the signees are Obama people, but there are others as well. One name picked at random got this result: “Rasmussen is the Senior Director for Counterterrorism Programs at the McCain Institute ...”

Just in time for the debate.
Cover for Biden for the stupid.
“While the letter’s signatories presented no new evidence,”
Money line, right there.
