Hey, What Happened to the 51 Intel Agents Who Assured Us Hunter’s Laptop was Russian Disinformation?

Robert Spencer:

The whole world knows now that Hunter Biden’s legendary laptop is real, and as Matt Margolis noted Friday, “all that’s left is anger — anger at how the media and Big Tech deliberately suppressed this damaging story about Hunter Biden to protect Joe Biden in the waning weeks of the presidential campaign.” Foremost among those protecting Old Joe were 51 senior American intelligence officials who on Oct. 19, 2020, published a statement asserting that “the arrival on the US political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the Board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” It wasn’t. None of these alleged intel agents, however, have come clean and admitted that they lied and that Hunter’s laptop was genuine. Not a single one.

The statement did contain this weaselly caveat: “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.”

Nonetheless, the intended effect was created: Politico dutifully ran a story entitled “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” Jen Psaki tweeted those exact words. Old Joe Biden used the officials’ lie in a debate against Trump, saying: “There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant.… Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his good friend Rudy Giuliani.”

The New York Post pointed out Friday that these 51 officials shouldn’t be the partisan hacks they obviously are; they “are the supposed nonpartisan group of top spies looking out for the best interest of the nation,” and that means we are in even worse trouble than most people realize. It’s clear now that their statement saying that the laptop was Russian disinformation was not the result of an actual analysis of its provenance and contents but was simply a manifestation of the fact that these agents “really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president.” Now that they’ve been shown up as the corrupt, self-serving officials they are, they’ve closed ranks and admitted nothing. The establishment media will, of course, give them a pass. read more

  1. Jackass Joe’s mouth is like a magician’s hat.
    You never know what he’s gonna pull out of it!

    … and sadly, neither doe he!

    “Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a fractured fairy tale out of my hat!”
    “Nuthin up my ass…”
    Presto!
    (pulls Hunter out of the hat)
    Ooops!

  2. *former* national intelligence people.

    Why were we supposed to believe “former” IC people. Shouldn’t this have come from people who were current at the time? Although I’m sure the “former” IC people still had their Security Clearances. Because the Deep State never retires.

  3. But, Come The Revolution(TM) we’ll have the Opportunity(TM) to examine, in detail, what all these Evil(TM) people did.

    By hiring loyal Former(TM) Party members. To look up. In Party archives. What The Party archived them, doing. So we can judge. According to Party standards. At the time. If Party decorum. At the time. Was breached. So they can be rewarded. Punished…!? By Party standards. At the time.

    “The King declared Himself immune to the people’s law. While King. What? Whatever? Can The Rule Of Law(TM) do?”

    (Nobody who licks The Rules’ taint, calls you enemy. Loyal citizen. You are loyal? Aren’t you? citizen?)

  4. Well, it could be worse. We could be sending billions in money to a country the president’s crack smoking kid laundered money though for his dad because he owes them a favor and is being blackmailed.

    At least that’s still considered misinformation and whoever would think it is a Putin pawn!

  5. “Senior” intelligence officials. As in “deep state dotards who signed off to enhance their lavish pensions”. I’ve had enough of these “senior moments” from the Neil Youngs of our government.

    > Then, maybe our country can begin to heal.

    They have a country. We are “them”, to they. Not “us”. Hence, not “our” country.

    But, can I interest you in a loverly new country?
