50+ Intel Agents in Washington Want You to Forget They Lied about the Hunter Biden Laptop

October 20, 2020

These people who signed the statement actually knew at the time that the laptop was NOT a fake. Yet they had this letter put out through the media just before the 2020 election for President.

They have obviously compromised what little integrity they (if ever) had. Here are their names--following is a copy of their letter. If any of these people still work in Washington, they should be demoted to the lowest level of work. Shameful...

You might remember James Clapper, DNI, the lead signatory, who lied to Congress about spying by the NSA on Americans! "I forgot"....he said.

Wikipedia had the following to say:

"On October 19, 2020, a group of 51 former senior intelligence officials, who had served in the Trump administration and those of the three previous presidents, released an open letter stating that the release of the alleged emails "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation", adding:

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.[18][71][72]

"That night, Natasha Bertrand of Politico wrote a story about the letter, with the headline, "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say." The rest of the story, however, was less definitive, with a subheading saying the former officials "signed a letter casting doubt on the provenance of a New York Post story," and noting in the story body that the letter said the information in the Post story "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." In a February 2023 analysis, Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler wrote "that headline likely shaped perceptions of the letter that continue to this day." Former director of national intelligence James Clapper, who signed the letter, told Kessler, "There was message distortion. All we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be Russian disinformation. Politico deliberately distorted what we said. It was clear in paragraph five" of the letter. Politico stood by their report in a statement to Kessler."
