Dozens of former intelligence officials signed a public statement Monday expressing doubts about the authenticity of the Hunter Biden emails published by the New York Post.
In the letter, first reported by Politico, more than 50 former intelligence officers said they believed the emails purportedly belonging to Biden, the son of the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."
"We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case," they wrote in the statement.
The former intel officials wrote they believe the arrival of the contents, which they dubbed a "laptop op," to the tabloid was a cause for suspicion, "as the publication of the emails are clearly designed to discredit" the elder Biden.
"Such an operation would be consistent with some of the key methods Russia has used in its now multi-year operation to interfere in our democracy the hacking (via cyber operations) and the dumping of accurate information or the distribution of inaccurate or misinformation," they said.
"It is high time that Russia stops interfering in our democracy," the letter concluded.

This is the new Russian collusion narrative that the Dems came up with over the weekend. Everyone now has the new talking points. Schiff was on yesterday spouting the BS on CNN.
Every DEM operative is going to go on every media outlets and say the Russians are spreading this to help Trump win the election just like last time.
Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
There are still Freepers who believe there is no Deep State.
“believe”, “earmarks”
IOW, “we don’t know, but we want to you to think that we do”.
When i was a kid “THEY” told us to hide under our desks cause the Russians. Now “They” say I can only believe the Democrats cause of the Russians.
How did the Russians get the FBI to empanel a grand jury and issue a subpoena for the laptop?
This is actually a good thing. They have been ‘outed’ and will always be tainted with this. They cannot be trusted, ever again, even by their Deep State folks.
What art of former am I not understanding? Current, as in having the most recent data and information, have a different understanding of the information!
Well, at least we know who they are.
Classic leftist disinformation campaign.
Shocking, former Democrat intelligence officials, say Joe Biden pay for play story Eussian disinformation! What/s next, accusing Trump of collusion with Russia? Oh, that’s right, been there, done that. These dudes are stuck on the same storyline. They need to get more creative in creating new false narratives
Isn’t that interesting. 50 people who have no access to the information, disagree with the DNI who oversee’s the entire intelligence regime in the US and has unlimited access.
What do you bet there is information in there that implicates them
Oh goodie goodie goodie!! Let POTUS yank their TS-SCI and Q clearances on 04 NOV 20!
Business Insider is lying by omission. The first four names in your quoted excerpt are former Obama officials. You can bet if former Bush officials criticized Obama, the fact of their former employment by Dubya would be prominently pointed out in the article. Yet there is no mention of Obama in this one.
Simply appalling what some people will do/say for their Masters.
At least now we know the names of a lot of the enemy within.
Time to move the CIA to Fargo ND.
OK, OK, so the Russians put those emails onto Hunter Biden’s computer.
But how did they know Biden would take his computer in for repair?
How did they know which shop Biden would take his computer?
How did they know Biden would abandon his computer there?
How did they know the shop owner would contact Rudy Giuliani?
It’s no wonder our intel is always so bad when the people working there don’t have inquiring minds.
They all made fortunes as lobbyists and shills for defense companies whose fortunes are tied to perpetul wars. President Trump is an existential threat to their gravy train. Always follow the money.
