Former intel official knew Hunter's laptop report was factual but signed the Russian ‘disinfo’ letter anyway
American Thinker ^ | 01/17/2023 | Rajan Laad

Yesterday the New York Post reported that a former top intelligence official who had previously signed the letter that claimed the Post’s exposé on Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation is now conceding that he knew a “significant portion” of the recovered files “had to be real”

The man in question is Douglas Wise

Wise is a former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director and was among the 51 former intelligence officials who signed a public letter on Oct. 19, 2020, claiming the Post’s series of reports on Hunter’s shady overseas business dealing, had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Among the other signatories of the letter were former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, etc.

The New York Post had carried a series of reports on Hunter's laptop that contained evidence that Biden, as vice president, used his influence to enrich Hunter.

Regular people have to work to earn a living and are hired based on their capabilities, experience, and expertise. Hunter faced no such challenges, thanks to Biden, Sr. who was vice president.

But that wasn’t the only disgrace.

The laptop also revealed the depravity in Hunter’s personal life.

The laptop had photos of a drug-inebriated Hunter in flagrante delicto with a prostitute. There were text messages from Hunter where he used racist language.

It not only reflected on Biden's abuse of power to enrich his son but also revealed the immorality of the Biden family. A lot can be said about a person from the way his child behaves. Hunter’s behavior obviously reflected badly on Biden, whose reputation isn’t exactly stellar.

The Democrats responded by launching a campaign to dismiss and suppress the story.

The Democrats are not shy about giving the country a huge middle finger and with the help of the MSM, simply say: “And what are you going to do about it?”

Republicans won’t do that. Just look at how they’re treating the liar George Santos ( who is a Republican ), who got away being elected Congressman from NY by lying about his past.

In other words:
we willfully and knowingly committed an "overt act" to engage in a Criminal Conspiracy to Violate Campaign Finance laws prohibition on In Kind political contributions.

When Dimocrats voted out God, their soul went with it. Our constitution can only work for a God fearing nation. Moving forward to victory will mean having to accept the hard reality that fighting dirty is required if Republicans are ever going to prevail again.

It’s called COVERUP and they do it every day of the year.

Those damn Republican legislatures and Brian Kemp ruined the elections in those states by allowing the left to take over.
