50 former intelligence officials warn NY Post story sounds like Russian disinformation
The Hill ^ | October 21, 2020 | Zack Budryk

More than 50 former intelligence officials said emails alleged to have been found on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden show signs of a Russian disinformation operation.

Several of the signers have endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to Politico, which first reported the letter. The letter states that its signers do not have new information about the emails and their authenticity.

“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,” the letter, released Monday, states.

Makes no sense.

Why would the Russians want to help America?

The intelligence community doesn’t exactly have a stellar reputation. They’ve become politicized like all of the other government agencies. The fact that 50 former intelligence officials would publicly criticize the president makes it political and just further erodes their credibility.

Biden's people are not challenging the accuracy of the emails but somehow it's a story when "More than 50 former intelligence officials said emails alleged to have been found on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden show signs of a Russian disinformation operation."

Right

50 former sub-intelligence officials from the Obama and Clinton administrations said Hunter Biden molesting little girls was Russian disinformation

And I’m sure all 50 of these assholes thought the Russian collusion delusion was true as well.

Screw them. The DNI and the head of the FBI have both said this did not come from the Russians.

These 50 will tell any lies to support the Biden crime family.

With minimal effort one could find 50 “intelligence officials” who for three years supported the fiction that the Russkies put Trump in the presidency, even though a Mueller commission stacked with Democrat operatives couldn’t even fabricate any evidence for that plot, let alone substantiate it with facts.

If these guys think this is Russian disinformation, I’m glad they’re FORMER intelligence officials. Giuliani and his attorney checked some of the emails on Hunter’s computer that he had sent or received and verified that they were also on the computers of the recipients/senders. So the Russians would have had to not only plant false emails on Hunter’s computer but also on the computers of those with whom he had correspondence. Possible I suppose, but not very likely.

Regardless these are 50 poor souls who have sold out to the devil over politics. . . evidently their parents didn’t take them to Sunday School . . . killing God’s creation is not a good thing not to mention some of the other democrat platform positions.

There is a reason these are FORMER officers. Hopefully they have lost their clearances and access and remain FORMER.

The letter sounds like a devilishly clever disinformation operation mounted by Russian assets to deflect attention from Russia by leading people to believe it was the Russians. Quite fiendish, actually.

Why are guys who are no longer spooks, and either finished their shift or resigned, even approached?

They are just Private Freaking Civilians now, just like you or me.

Useless trash.

None of the fifty that signed the letter have even seen the contents of the laptop.
