Opinion: National Security Leaders for America or Deep State 2024

National Security Leaders for America

The group known as the National Security Leaders for America, made headlines recently when they published a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House. 

A total of 741 former high-ranking national security officials lent their names to this letter. Among these individuals, nine had previously signed a 2020 letter saying that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian Disinformation.” The letter was eventually proven to be a disinformation campaign by the Democrat campaign of Joe Biden.

The Endorsement of Kamala Harris

The endorsement letter claims Harris is “prepared and strategic,”, contrasting these qualities with former President Donald Trump, who the group described as "impulsive and ill-informed." 

The letter adds that, "We are former public servants who swore an oath to the Constitution. Many of us risked our lives for it. We are retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors, and senior civilian national security leaders. We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We are loyal to the ideals of our nation—like freedom, democracy, and the rule of law—not to any one individual or party."

This bipartisan framing is central to the National Security Leaders for America's messaging, positioning the group as non-partisan, though critics may argue otherwise.

The 2020 Laptop Controversy

The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop first erupted in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election. 

The laptop story went public Hunter Biden left it at a Delaware repair shop. And the FBI had possession of it since 2019. 

The New York Post published a report about the laptop's contents, that received significant media attention.

Then 51 former intelligence officials, including some who would later sign the Harris endorsement letter, issued a statement discounting the laptop story. They suggested it had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” casting doubt on the authenticity of the information.

The Posts stories were immediately banned from social media and all links were taken down.

Among those who signed both the 2020 letter claiming the laptop was fake and the recent endorsement of Harris are several notable figures: former Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper, former CIA Directors Michael V. Hayden, Leon E. Panetta, and John Brennan, and other high-profile national security leaders. 

Their participation in both efforts has raised questions about the political motivations behind their actions.
