From the article:
“In other words, when he realized that Morrell had organized the letter at the behest of Blinken/the campaign, he saw that direct line and felt compelled to speak out about it.”
Everyone with one ounce of common sense or logic knew immediately that: A. the laptop was real, and B. the letter was disinformation instigated by the Biden campaign. But not this high ranking intelligence official! He had to read it in the news to figure it out. Our entire government is either idiotic or natural born liars.

In addition, nine additional former IC officers who cannot be named publicly also support the arguments in this letter.
What is amazing, that without any sources these 51 liars would opine on something so essential to the putcome of the election, that they encouraged a lie using their professional credentials, rather than telling Blinkin to go shove it.
It took the author eight paragraphs to get to naming the guy – – it’s Dan Hoffman. We’ve seen him on Fox (back when people were watching Fox, that is).
Put this in perspective folks. The Deep State wasn’t just rigging an election.
There were willing to place blame on a nuclear superpower and risk escalation of war by accusing them of rigging our elections.
They risked nuclear war to rig the election against Donald Trump.
That’s how evil these scumbags are. They are traitors and they deserve the fate of traitors after a fair trial of course.
These fifty one “former intelligence officials” now take their place in history along side the bigoted “one hundred prominent German physicists” who signed a letter denouncing Einstein.
During their exchange, Hoffman indicated that he received the letter on October 18, 2020, and, at first glance, it seemed natural to lay the blame for the laptop at the Kremlin’s doorstep. But there was no evidence of Russian involvement — which the letter noted (though the media and Joe Biden were seemingly comfortable intimating otherwise) – and he felt like there needed to be a forensic analysis of the laptop and its contents in order to properly determine its origins.

it was an op all along & they knew it before they signed
so it was actually a fraud

...and now he’s a FORMER chief
Political phrases are subject to fads. You don’t hear the term “dirty trick” any more. If there is any doubt that, if the shoe was in the other foot and this was done by GOP, that phrase would make a big comeback? That whole constellation of activities around the re-election of Nixon were put under the dirty trick umbrella. Yet this letter makes all of those activities into child’s play
Obama filled many high positions in government with political operatives. Those that signed the letter were of this ilk. They were political operatives. They knew what they were signing and why.
“all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”
That letter signed by 51 stooges had all the earmarks of a filthy democrat disinfo operation.
Hoffman wants to remain a Fox contributor. The fact that DNI Ratcliffe stated at the time that there was no substantiation that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation should have ended the speculation. It was clear at that time the 51 signatories were politically motivated. I don’t understand why that point is not made over and over again.
The “statement” combines two Democrat favorites:
1) Tell the gullible something superficially true, but actually meaningless, to invite them to project their own false conclusions onto a nothingburger. Sure, Hunter’s laptop situation had “characteristics” of a Russian disinformation operation; it’s just that the signatories knew there was a mountain of evidence that the laptop was genuine but omitted to mention it. The signatories gave the opinion that the night sky might have a color and their audience thought “blue”.
2) The “statement” was Mr. Johnny pretending OJ couldn’t get his hand in the glove. Biden-leaning “moderate” voters who don’t follow right of center news, needed an excuse to dismiss candidacy-killing evidence of Biden family corruption, so they could feel ok about voting for someone they knew was a criminal.
May justice prevail upon everyone behind the letter, and everyone who signed it.
