Two left-wing formerly high-ranking U.S. intelligence officials argue an influential media report about their Trump-bashing accusations related to Hunter Biden’s laptop was … wait for it … fake news.
Both James Clapper, former national intelligence director, and Thomas Finger, whose career included a stint as chairman of the National Intelligence Council, trotted out Donald Trump’s favorite trope to distance themselves from their efforts to quash the explosive 2020 story uncovered by the New York Post.

When they didn’t charge Clapper, Brennan, Corey, Strozk, Sullivan, Powers, Ohr, with crimes in Operation Crossfire, we lost the future of integrity in politics. No consequences brings more of the same only bigger.
Waiting 2 years to "clear things up" makes their intent clear.
It’s as if they believe that simply appearing on TV saying any kind of utter horses**t they can come up with equates to automatic absolution. No matter what they are on record as having stated. Objectively, he just ratifies that his stock in trade is spewing lies.
Clapper is among the very top level of zero credibility, useless old fart actors of that era.
Yes totally agree
And it is astonshing that they will admit that they remained silent when their words, expertise, credibility, and prestige were being misused for political purposed to mislead the American people.
Pure logic says that the truth, their reputations for the truth and the misleading of the American people are minor issues to them.
Dumb sleazebags.
A smart sleazebags would still be obfuscating, still claiming that Trump was mixed up with Russia.
So if Clapper and his 50 pals did not know whether the Hunter Biden Laptop was Russian disinformation operation or not:
A) Why DIDN’T they know?
B) Why did they make a special effort to inform the public abut something they didn’t know?
C) What was Clapper’s purpose in pushing this story if not to affect the election in Biden’s favor, thus commiting the capital crime of “election interference”?
D) The big group statement didn’t happen by itself. Whose idea was it, and who rounded up the stooges? Who crafted the deceptive language? Which signers refused until the claims had an escape hatch?
Clapper was Director of National Intelligence, yet doesn’t know to just shut up and stop deepening the hole.
This was a case of election interference. No question about it. Was it really enough to keep Trump from winning? No but it had to be a factor. Add in the media self censorship of the story and Big Tech blacklisting the NY Post attempts at covering the story and the American People should be outraged. Instead they are busy picking pronouns, apologizing for their skin tone and joining the next Tik Tok challenge.
51 lying sacks who should never have held a security clearance are still lying.
Two democrat LIARS.
Our spies are too feeble to claim that as their defense.
Remember, Liberals want to believe the lies.
