James Clapper is attempting to rewrite the narrative after the Washington Post decided, three years later, to fact check the Politico article and Hunter Biden Russia laptop letter.

As we’ve noted several times, James Clapper, along with 50 other intelligence community experts, wrote a letter back in October 2020 alleging that Russia was involved in planting disinformation on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

While the letter’s signatories presented no new evidence, they said their national security experience had made them “deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case” and cited several elements of the story that suggested the Kremlin’s hand at work.

“If we are right,” they added, “this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.”

Nick Shapiro, a former top aide under CIA director John Brennan, provided POLITICO with the letter on Monday. He noted that “the IC leaders who have signed this letter worked for the past four presidents, including Trump. The real power here however is the number of former, working-level IC officers who want the American people to know that once again the Russians are interfering.”
