Biden lied about Hunter laptop at last debate with Trump, 'Spies Who Lie' tell Congress
[NYPOST] President Biden lied during his most recent debate against Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
when he claimed a group of former intelligence operatives had determined files from his son Hunter’s abandoned laptop were "garbage" and a "Russian plant" — so signers of the "Spies Who Lie" letter told Congress in testimony made public Thursday, just hours before the first Biden-Trump debate of 2024.

The former spies, whose letter was drafted specifically to give Biden, now 81, a "talking point" at the second and final debate of the 2020 campaign, said they merely suggested that files from Hunter’s hard drive were bogus, but didn’t assert it as a fact — days after bombshell reports by The Post showed the elder Biden was involved in his family’s Chinese and Ukrainian business relationships.

"When he said that it is a Russian plan or whatever — garbage — that’s not what we said in there," said former CIA Director John Brennan
...director of the CIA under the Obama administration. One of the deeper dwelling denizens of the Deep State, probably the guy who lit the match that launched the Russiagate coup attempt...
, who was among the best-known signers.

"What he said was not an accurate reflection of what the statement said," Brennan added in a May 11, 2023, deposition before the House Judiciary Committee.

Asked if Biden had been "accurate" with his debate claim, James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, said, "Not exactly."

"If he had said ’could have’ or ’may have,’ that would comport with what the intent, as I felt it was, of
the public statement, not a definitive statement [that] this was Russian interference," Clapper said in a May 17, 2023, deposition.

The controversial letter said the laptop files had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation" and was organized by former CIA acting director Michael Morell, who wrote in an email acquired by House Sherlocks that "we think Trump will attack Biden on the issue at this week’s debate, and we want to give the Vice President, VP, a talking point to use in response."

"I wanted [Biden] to win the election," Morell said in his own April 4, 2023, desposition.

#1 Is it really a lie if he has no free will of his own but merely repeats what Jill and Baraq tell him? Isn't that like blaming a zombie because some voodoo priest put a spell on him?

#2 It takes a certain level of mental acuity to knowingly utter a falsehood. OTOH if you don't know what you're talking about, you're just wrong, not a liar.

#3 Many people have covered up Biden stuff. Let’s compare the Hur transcript and tapes as a starting point. I’ll like to see indictments if they don’t match.
