Former Intel Officer James Clapper Slams Politico for ‘Deliberately' Distorting Letter Regarding Hunter's Laptop Being Possible Russian Disinfo
[Breitbart] Former intelligence officer James Clapper slammed Politico for “deliberately” distorting the infamous letter he signed saying Hunter’s laptop was possible Russian disinformation. The letter signed by 51 intel officials was intended to discredit the New York Post’s report by Emma-Jo Morris that revealed the Biden family engaged in foreign business affairs while Joe Biden was a U.S. official.

The letter was peddled before the 2020 presidential election by Politico under the title by reporter Natasha Bertrand, “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” Most establishment media organizations then used the Politico article to discount the revelations from Hunter’s laptop, such as those about corruption that allegedly involve now-President Joe Biden.

“More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” the article read in support of the Biden family.

“We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post … are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement,” the letter linked in Bertrand article said.

#2 James Clapper is an American hero who did everything he could to prevent Russian disinformation from interfering with our election. Good job. They're going to throw tomatoes at you but just ignore them.

#5 We know that Clapper lies and perjures himself whenever it suits his purposes. If we had a DoJ that was concerned with justice, which we don't, Clapper would be in jail where nobody would care about his lies.
