Director Of National Intelligence Confirms Hunter Biden Laptop ‘Not Part Of Some Russian Disinformation Campaign’

Quote

 

John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence, told Fox Business on Monday morning that Hunter Biden’s laptop was not part of a Russian disinformation campaign despite the media’s attempts to claim otherwise.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo pressed Ratcliffe about claims from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who made repeated false claims during the Russia investigation, that the news surrounding the laptop was Russian disinformation.

“Is this Russian disinformation, director?” Bartiromo asked.

Ratcliffe responded, “So, Maria it’s funny that some of the people that complained the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing intelligence and unfortunately in this case, it is Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who as you pointed out on Friday said that the intelligence community believes that Hunter Biden’s laptop and e-mails on it are part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”

“Let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that and we shared no intelligence with chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden’s laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” he continued. “It’s simply not true.”

Ratcliffe said that Schiff “wants anything against his preferred political candidate to be deemed as not real and is using the intelligence community, or attempting to use the intelligence community, to say there’s nothing to see here.”

“Don’t drag the intelligence community into this,” Ratcliffe continued. “Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign and I think it’s clear the American people know that.”

My only beef with this is his assumption that the American people already know this.  We see in our own microcosm that this is indeed not the case.

I think any rational thinking American would've already dismissed the umpteenth "Russia" narrative given all the dumb things Schiff and co says, regardless of the echo chamber media that regurgitates it in unison. It's yet another situation of it targeting weak people who can tip over at any barrage of cognitive dissonance over steadfast preservation of logic.

I would imagine low information voters are the norm.

65-0 is quite the score.

Twitter, Facebook have censored Trump 65 times compared to zero for Biden, study says

 

President Trump has been censored by Facebook and Twitter 65 times since May 2018, while Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has gone completely unchecked by the social media giants, according to a new study by the Media Research Center.  

“Big Tech has caused serious damage to President Donald Trump’s ability to be heard on social media. Twitter and Facebook have censored the president’s social media accounts and the accounts belonging to his re-election campaign at least 65 times. In contrast, the companies have not censored... Joe Biden and his campaign accounts. At all,” MRC analysts Corinne Weaver and Alec Schemmel wrote.

Documents show alleged Hunter Biden signature, FBI contacts with computer repair store owner
The document allegedly signed by Biden details repair work on three laptops

 

Documents obtained by Fox News appear to show Hunter Biden's signature on paperwork from the Delaware computer repair shop where the former vice president's son reportedly dropped off a laptop that included emails related to his overseas business dealings.

The document allegedly signed by Biden details repair work that was to be performed on three MacBook Pro laptops at “The Mac Shop” in Wilmington, Delaware. Aside from the signature, the paperwork notes Biden’s name in the “bill to” section for a cost of $85. Fox News has not verified that the signature is indeed Biden's.

The Russians have perfected Hunter's signature now!

Clapper, Brennan: Hunter Biden Emails ‘Russian Disinformation’ Whether ‘Genuine or Not’

Quote

 

More than 50 former intelligence officials, led by Obama-era Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, have signed an open letter alleging that the newly-released Hunter Biden emails are “Russian disinformation” — even if they are real.

Clapper, who helped push the conspiracy theory that there had been “collusion” between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the Russian government, was joined by others — including former CIA Director John Brennan, who also promoted the Russia hoax.

If only one could give a damn that "More than 50 former intelligence officials" say the grass is pink. Offers us a sampling (along with the handful of prior samples) of how numerous bad people in the bureaus are. If Trump wins re-election he really needs to clean house. Not to mention throw these named idiots in prison.

The old "open letter" gambit based on political bias and no real information.

Glenn Greenwald trashes media 'cone of silence' around Hunter Biden email scandal
 

Greenwald challenged journalists "to say with a straight face they believe the emails relating to the Bidens are either fabricated or otherwise fraudulently altered," underscoring the fact that "the Bidens just aren't saying so. "

"There has to be some limits to your willingness to go to bat for them," he wrote. 

"When you report a huge archive, there's no way to prove the negative that none of it is altered," Greenwald explained. "You investigate & confirm as much as you can, then use your journalistic judgment. The only way you get confirmation is when the subjects of the reporting don't deny the authenticity."

The NY Post has not released any forensics on the hard drive. I looks like they have no plans to.

 

What does not denying or denying prove? The smart thing to do from the Biden camps perspective is to say nothing.

What difference does it make.  As Greenwald said, this is par for the course for DC insiders.  I for one think it is unacceptable that a career politician should personally profit by their office, but I'll bet you feel otherwise.
