All of the intelligence officials who signed a letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was similar to a "Russian information operation" could lose their security clearances. The Trump administration will move to take the clearances away from the officials.

Hunter Biden's laptop?

What you hoping for? More dick pics?

You really are a Deplorable Trumping MAGAt.

Thank god Joe pardoned Hunter.

He saved taxpayers a ton of money republicans would have wasted on their quest to find something Hunter could be guilty of.

Hmm. It's curious why a bleat about Bolton's secret service detail was embedded when the thread was promoted to the front page.

Anyway, I said at the time the Hunter laptop thing smelled like a disinformation operation, with a mixture of both truth and dubious information that was completely unverifiable. It wasn't necessarily a Russian operation, but it definitely reflected their style.

This is how third world -------- countries operate.

Truth is irrelevant if it angers the tinpot.

Screw Bolton, he has no issues sending our sons and daughters into war but when his security is taken away he cries like a baby. Makes sense that like Liz Cheney he changed to a Democrat.

Bolton saw Trump's crimes from the inside... and even he was appalled by them.

As wrong as he was on some things, he made the right choice in picking patriotism over Trump's insurrection.

I don't know what Bolton did to deserve this but the 51 who signed the letter? Absolutely. They knowingly peddled a lie, abused their powers in the process and did so to tamper with an election.

There was no "lie". No abuse of power. And anyone in America is allowed to have and express an opinion. Opinions are not "tampering with an election". And unless they were under orders not to speak about it then as guardians of our nations secrets and national security those intell officials have a right and even a duty to share that opinion with the American voters if they feel the voters need to know about it.

And to equate someone express their valid opinion based on their knowledge and experiences with "abuse of power" is just another absurdity proffered by another maga liar.

But J6 is okay right?

Sorry they didn't try to murder police officers, the Vice President, and members of Congress. Guess they'd get a pass then, right?

Inciting an attack on our nation's capital and undermining a sitting president by denying he lost an election fair and square is an abuse of power.

Undermining the constitution by unconstitutional means is an abuse of power.

No they did not not. Election interference as a crime has a specific definition.

You should probably look it up.

And they did not "lie". And the first amendment gives them a clear right to freely express their opinions based upon their professional analysis.

It's entirely up to you whether to believe they know what they talking about or not. Your opinions expressed here are also not election interference even if they are obviously lies and distortions. Even if someone was dumb enough to believe you it's still not "interference".

Nothing they said or did falls under the category of election interference.

In the other hand Trump has clearly committed election interference with his conspiracy to submit false EC ballots.

Once again projection is confession. And probably defection from Trumpy's crimes too at this point.

"they engaged in election interference."

Nonsense. They stated what was clear: the provenance had all the hallmarks of a Russian plot.

It's the same reason Fox, OAN, and Newsmax passed on the original story.

Bingo!


For example...

What does provenance mean in the context of historical objects?

They 51 should all be deported as worthless dishonest treasoness political hacks. The Hunter laptop and its included disgusting child porn was covered up so Biden crime family bad stuff would be covered up and so he was elected which gave us the catastrophe.

J6 never would have happened if Biden wrongs were exposed.
