The 51 spies who lied to the American people about a critical news story that broke during the height of the 2020 presidential campaign refuse to apologize for their election interference.
The intelligence community’s quick dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop story as probable ‘Russian disinformation’ was designed to shield the Biden campaign from scrutiny over the highly relevant national security vulnerability.
Despite the intelligence and law enforcement community spending four years sabotaging the Trump candidacy and presidency over a Russian collusion ‘witch hunt’ hatched by the Hillary Clinton campaign, a surveillance and investigative endeavor purportedly launched due to concerns about foreign election interference, it thus turns out America’s own ‘deep state’ apparatus was the primary offender of election interference in the United States.
The New York Post’s editorial board fired back at the mainstream media’s smears using the IC’s community’s “disinformation.”
“Big Tech, former government officials, and the media conspired together to bury a story,” the editorial board said. “No, not just bury — create a false narrative that flipped the script to make Joe Biden the victim of a conspiracy. In short, they peddled online disinformation to sway an election.”
“Do the officials who tried to flip the 2020 election feel any regret for their actions?” the board continued. “The Post reached out to those who signed the letter. Most would not answer the question. A few doubled-down, including Clapper. No remorse. No shame. And no apologies.”Do You Trust That the Current Government is Working for the American People?*Absolutely notYesEmail*This poll gives you free access to our premium politics newsletter.

The U.S. news media uncritically repeated the CIA, DNI, and NSA narrative on the Hunter Biden laptop story, despite there being credible evidence that the laptop could be authentic.
