Controversial Appointments Raise Concerns: Former Intelligence Officials Join DHS Group Despite Election Disinformation
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 09/20/2023 6:06:49 PM PDT by davikkm

In a surprising development, the Biden administration has appointed James Clapper, John Brennan, and Paul Kolbe, all former intelligence officials, to a DHS “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” responsible for addressing critical national security matters. This decision has raised eyebrows and concerns due to the history of these individuals.

It’s worth noting that Clapper, Brennan, and Kolbe were signatories of the controversial October 2020 letter that made deceptive claims about Hunter Biden’s laptop, suggesting it might be Russian disinformation. This false assertion had significant ramifications, particularly in the tightly contested 2020 election, where the outcomes in Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin were decided by a mere 44,000-vote margin.

The question that naturally arises is why select intelligence officials who were involved in spreading disinformation, which could have influenced a U.S. election, for a role in a DHS Expert Group responsible for national security? This decision appears to be at odds with the principles of transparency and accountability.

Many have questioned whether these individuals should still maintain their security clearances, given their involvement in a matter that cast doubt on the integrity of a U.S. election. The appointment has sparked a broader conversation about the boundaries between national security and political involvement, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in such critical appointments.

Let’s just call a spade a spade. Biden isn’t appointing Jack Chit, it’s Obama.

That’s the problem with election rigging. Four years later those people don’t exist who you counted their votes. IOW, Where do 81 million votes go when they never existed in the first place?

1. Subvert election for Dems
2. Collect Dem reward.

Life is good. Loyalty pays.

Somehow or another they’re going to use this to tie these guys up so they’re not “availabe” for deposition due to “ongoing national security investigations”.

These swamp dwellers know things about Biden that Biden does not want anyone to know.

Is Biden appointing them because he fears them?

One feature of the swamp is the inefficient way it appoints people, not to do the job, but to not do the job.

One fool, one traitor and one unknown quantity. Not a winning combination but Obama and Biden don’t one anyway.
