  • 50 signatures to say it "might be"?

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 13 15:21:25 2023
    Yeah...who would believe that BS?

    And now they're shocked anyone took them seriously!

    https://twitter.com/JonathanTurley/status/1625211305681465344

    James Clapper hit Politico for distorting his infamous letter on the Hunter Biden laptop. https://foxnews.com/media/james-clapper-accuses-politico-deliberately-distorting-letter-biden-laptop-being-russian-disinfo He insists that, shortly before an
    election, they were merely raising the possibility that it might be Russian disinformation in a letter signed by 50 high ranking former intel officials. They were "shocked, shocked" it was taken as more than a mere possibility...

    I wonder how many grains of salt Stephen requires to believe these goons?

    I've been happy to avoid the Clapper letter situation. Okay, if you're interested...

    "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."

    Looks like they went to some trouble in hope that their words not be
    twisted only to have their words twisted as one would expect by the
    right-wing outrage machine.

    And what is the point? Why bother collecting a buttload of signatures?
    Why couldn't the FBI (who had the laptop for a year) and could easily verify the e-mails in a matter of days if it wanted to....set up and tell the world the truth?

    BS...they wanted a result and they got it.

    Anyway, I got my answer. No grains required to go along with a proven liar like Clapper. I'm actually glad.
    Now your links are tainted by the mere fact of you linking them.
    You have more than earned a whole buttload of sea salt by hitching
    your piano bench to Clapper.

    Steve might be the stupidest person in Texas. I don't know if its true, but my experience
    makes me deeply sus[icious that he has any intelligence at all. His postings have all
    the earmarks of him being a complete idiot.

    The point was exactly what they said it was: concern Russia was
    interfering again in a US election.

    That FBI verifying emails stuff is beside the point, as the contents of
    the "laptop" (actually a disk image) could have been placed there after
    being hacked from other sources such as cloud storage.

    There were reports of Hunter emails being shopped in Ukraine previous to
    this, so it wouldn't be a stretch to consider.

    Looks like they went to some trouble in hope that their words not
    be twisted only to have their words twisted as one would expect by

    Yes, to defend the election from an October surprise orchestrated by Russia.

    There wasn't any. At best there was the possibility there might have
    been the appearance but it didn't happen.

    It doesn't help the FBI agent in charge of counterintelligence in 2016
    is under indictment for providing services to Deripaska, the "sanctioned Russian oligarch".
