Biden Administration Makes Unbelievable Move to Re-Employ James Clapper and John Brennan
Redstate ^ | 9/19/23 | Bonchie

Remember James Clapper and John Brennan? It's easy to forget given how much has transpired since both men consistently led the news throughout the Trump administration. At one time, though, their involvement in Crossfire Hurricane, otherwise known as the Russia collusion investigation was really big news.

For those less initiated, here's a quick refresher. Clapper was Barack Obama's DNI and has been credibly accused of lying to Congress. Meanwhile, Brennan is Obama's former CIA Director and has been credibly accused of doing the same. Both men lived on cable news after Trump's inauguration, making all kinds of wild, unsubstantiated claims related to nefarious Russian collusion supposedly committed by the former president.

Then, in 2020, the two men reentered the spotlight as the most notable signatories of a now infamous intel letter that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop story was "Russian disinformation." That was a completely false contention that was used to influence the outcome that year’s presidential election.

Several former intelligence officials who signed a letter suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was likely a “Russian information operation” are joining a federal “expert” board handling issues of national security, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Tuesday.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and former CIA Operations Officer Paul Kolbe, who will now serve on the board, all signed an October 2020 letter casting doubt on the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop and suggesting its release was a Russian disinformation ploy. The group will advise DHS on intelligence and national security efforts regarding issues such as “terrorism, fentanyl, transborder issues, and emerging technology,” DHS announced.

The Biden administration is now at the point that they can say, "Yeah, we are corrupt, but there is not much you can do about it".

And the media cheers!

I guess they got caught taking payments from the Biden Bunch and need to show gainful employment for those payments.

Clapper and Brennan just couldn’t make ends meet on six million a year twisting the news over at CNN’s office of misinformation remediation?

Nobody I know (including me) who has worked with Clapper trusts him as far as they can throw his car. He’s a weasel and a shameless self-promoter.

I’d say, “unbelievable”, but these days that doesn’t apply.

If ever there was a good time to shut the government down, that would be right now.
