Intel Officials Who Called Hunter Laptop Story ‘Russian Disinfo Have Never Apologized
Daily Caller ^ | December 19, 2022 | Brianna Lyman

Twitter and other social media platforms went to great lengths to suppress the New York Post’s story about Hunter Biden, locking the outlet as well as several high profile conservatives out of their accounts.

More than a dozen officials signed onto a public letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop, which was first reported by The Post and The Daily Caller News Foundation.

[Additional excerpt:]

The intelligence officials went on to admit that they [did] 'not have evidence of Russian involvement' other than their suspicions."


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: hunterbiden; intel; jamesbaker; laptop; ukraine
[Additional excerpt:]

The Daily Caller reached out to letter signatories Jim Clapper, Mike Hayden, Leon Panetta, Thomas Finger, John McLaughlin, Michael Morell, Paul Kolbe, Stephen Slick, Cynthia Strand, Kristin Wood and Ron Marks to ask how they determined the laptop was fake and whether they stood by their initial assessments. None responded.

But it’s not just the so-called “intel” officials who got it horrifically wrong. Politico ran the story as fact rather than a possibility.

Natasha Bertrand, who authored the Politico story, headlined the piece definitively as “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”

Apology not required.

Dox them. Show their faces and addresses. All of them.

Never being held accountable means never having to apologize.

Good Start. Next must do: Confront them directly on the street and demand an explanation, and, if they refuse to fess up, share the iPhone video with the world.

Are you really expecting those who give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States to apologize?!?

NONE RESPONDED. Not even a weak defense. Just flicked that bug off the shoulder.

Pricks, one and all.

Like Reid said after he lied about Romney’s taxes: “It worked.”
