Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe confirmed Monday morning that “there is no intelligence” to suggest that Hunter Biden’s laptop is “part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”
Russia, Russia, Russia! Anything that makes them look bad or corrupt the Democrats immediately points fingers at Russia.
That is exactly what they did when The New York Post published emails from Hunter Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son.
The emails showed Hunter pursued rich deals with a Chinese private energy company. Another set showed how a top Ukrainian exec suggested Hunter use his influence on behalf of Burisma.
From Fox News:
Ratcliffe, during an exclusive interview on FOX Business’ “Mornings with Maria,” was asked about the allegations from Schiff, D-Calif., who over the weekend said that the Hunter Biden emails suggesting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had knowledge of, and was allegedly involved in, his son’s foreign business dealings.“It’s funny that some of the people who complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing the intelligence,” Ratcliffe said. “Unfortunately, it is Adam Schiff who said the intelligence community believes the Hunter Biden laptop and emails on it are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.”He added: “Let me be clear: the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. And we have shared no intelligence with Adam Schiff, or any member of Congress.”Ratcliffe went on to say that it is “simply not true.”“Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” Ratcliffe said, adding again that “this is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”
Democrats bemoan and complain when President Donald Trump says stuff off the cuff, but have NO problem when they do it.
Common sense did not stop House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff from claiming the emails found on Hunter’s laptop came from the Kremlin:
Ratcliffe’s comments come after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff over the weekend described the emails as being part of a smear coming “from the Kremlin,” amid claims the revelations are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.“We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin,” Schiff said on CNN. “That’s been clear for well over a year now that they’ve been pushing this false narrative about this vice president and his son.”
Ratcliffe continued to hammer Schiff and the Democrats for spreading fake news:
“The FBI has had possession of this,” he said. “Without commenting on any investigation that they may or may not have, their investigation is not centered around Russian disinformation and the intelligence community is not playing any role with respect to that.”He added: “The intelligence community has not been involved in Hunter Biden’s laptop.”—Ratcliffe went on to say that his role as director of National Intelligence, which he assumed earlier this year, is “to not allow people to leverage the intelligence community for a political narrative that’s not true.”“In this case, Adam Schiff saying this is part of a disinformation campaign and that the intelligence community has assessed and believes that — that is simply not true,” he said. “Whether its Republicans or Democrats, if they try to leverage the intelligence community for political gain, I won’t allow it.”
