ENCLOSED: List of Intel Fools Who Pushed Hunter Biden Russian Laptop Lie

 

This is about remembering and holding those who lie or are wrong accountable. Just because someone has worked in the intelligence community does not automatically confer on that person some sort of divine insight or infallibility. (Yes, I worked at the CIA as an analyst, but I had the good fortune of being a friend of J.P. Mac Isaac.) After more than a year of insisting that the material contained on the Hunter Biden laptop was some scandalous Bolshie plot, the Politico, one of the hacks that populate the mainstream media and blogosphere, came clean and admitted the laptop was Hunter’s and he left it at a Delaware computer repair shop. J.P. Mac Isaac is a truth teller.

The fifty men and women, who wrapped themselves in the shroud of their pitiful intelligence careers, signed a letter insisting the NY Post, which published the story of Hunter’s sordid laptop, was being duped by the Russians.

Here are their names. Remember them for the disgraced partisan clowns they are.

There you have it. The list of so-called intelligence professionals who, instead of pursuing truth, sold their souls for partisan benefit. Each ignored the oath they took to protect and defend the Constitution. But there is a silver lining. We now have a list of persons who are probably responsible for the host of intelligence failures that have unfolded over the last twenty years. Think Iraq and Afghanistan for starters.
