Panetta: I Don’t Regret Signing Hunter Biden Laptop Letter, ‘Disinformation Is Involved Here’
Breitbart ^ | 10/14/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 10/14/2023 7:57:18 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” former Defense Secretary and former CIA Director Leon Panetta responded to questions on whether he regrets signing a letter that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation knowing what he knows now by stating, “I think that disinformation is involved here. I think Russian disinformation is part of what we’re seeing everywhere.” And “I don’t have any regrets about not trusting the Russians.”

Host Bret Baier asked, [relevant exchange begins around 4:10] “I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you about that letter you signed on to from former intelligence officials saying that the laptop and the emails had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation…that letter was used in the debate. I haven’t asked you this, but do you have regrets about that, now, looking back, knowing what you know now?”

Alinski rule on display: abuse others of doing what you are doing. The diinfo is his letter. The deep state Ds use disinfo and cannot be trusted.

Panetta could be the poster boy for John Wayne’s description of someone to cull from the heard.

From McLintock:
Do you know what a cull is, ma’am? A cull is a specimen that is so worthless that you have to cut him out of the herd.

"I think that disinformation is involved here"

For once Panetta told part of the truth. Disinformation certainly was involved, and he was one of the people making and spreading the disinformation.

But that's nothing new, he and his friend Hillary have been doing that for years.

You are right about Panetta.

I saw a bit of that interview. Panetta’s nose has become enormous. Really huge. Looks about the size of a tennis ball. I kept wondering if he has some medical condition.

I happen to watch this. Panetta tried to wiggle out of it but it didn't fly.

Panetta has used so much disinformation that he’s forgotten where he’s left it.

I watched that interview and laughed as Panetta tried to slither out of the box Brett put him into. Typical leftist liar.

Pretty much everyone in the GOPe passed Panetta off as an example of what they think the Dem opposition is. Someone who they respect but had disagreement with on some issues. It is the naïve and stupid attitude that has allowed the rats to take over. Panetta is a lying duplicitous scumbag but Mitch and the boys still have nothing but respect for the POS as they do with most of the others including Traitor Joe.

All 50+ should hang. Let him pay for the crime of treason. I would not regret being on the the permanent firing squad for him and his ilk.

Panetta is part of the Clinton mafia and as such has zero integrity, zero character and zero ethics. For him, as with all Clinton mafia, the ends justify the means.

Political buffoonery doesn’t fit the Constitutional definition of treason.
“...

According to Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted
...”

The Founding Fathers purposely made the charge of treason difficult to make. The knew if it was easy it would be used to squash political dissent!
