The IC said the disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden's son "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

There's no point in reading the rest of your post if you're going to get the very basics wrong.

news.yahoo.com - Former CIA acting director misled
Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) acting director Michael Morell misled the signatories on the letter falsely claiming Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, according to a new report.

The New York Post published a report on Sunday revealing Morell told the 51 signers of the letter that he would "clear the statement with the Publication Review Board at CIA" the day following him reaching out regarding the younger Biden's laptop from Hell.

An Oct. 18, 2020 email obtained by the Post revealed that Morell asked the signatories, which included former CIA Directors John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and Mike Hayden, to sign the letter that he and former CIA agent Marc Polymeropoulos drafted.

Morrell admitted - under oath, to Congress - that

Morell testified that his communication with Blinken was one of a few communications he had with the Biden campaign, explaining that he also received a call from Steve Ricchetti, Chairman of the Biden campaign, following the October 22 debate to thank him for writing the statement. Morell also explained that the Biden campaign helped to strategize about the public release of the statement. Morell further explained that one of his two goals in releasing the statement was to help then-Vice President Biden in the debate and to assist him in winning the election.

Based on Morell's testimony, it is apparent that the Biden campaign played an active role in the origins of the public statement, which had the effect of helping to suppress the Hunter Biden story and preventing American citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election.

But you still won't admit that you were duped about RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA, so there's little point in thinking you've informed yourself on other matters.
