Former National Security Director Jim Clapper, who was the author of the letter, defends it.
Claims like “If we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we strongly believe that Americans need to be aware of this.” And the line used by Biden’s campaign that the laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” is still being used about other issues.
Five of the other letter signers declined to comment. 39 of them had no response whatsoever. And two could not be contacted.
Lines from the letter were amplified in the media. And Joe Biden was able to use it at the debate. The letter’s content was used to justify cutting the bombshell story off social media while claiming its source was Russia not Hunter Biden.
The timing of the letter makes sense. It was part of the coordinated censorship campaign. And its purpose was to block the truth from potential voters in the 2020 election.
The Post confronts the Times
Devine’s tell-all book, “Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide” was originally published in November 2021. But it is only in the last few weeks that it’s climbed to #15 on the “New York Times Top 100 in Books”.
