Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, a documented
serial liar, is attempting to clean up the damage he did after signing a
letter in October 2020. In that letter, Clapper joined 51 former
intelligence officials and officers to claim Hunter Biden's infamous
laptop was "Russian disinformation." The letter was published in
POLITICO with the intention of swaying the 2020 presidential election
between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Now that Republicans are in control of the House, with plans to
tighten the screws on Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan for
their abuse of their titles and access to state secrets, Clapper claims
the letter was taken out context.
NEW:
Obama DNI Jim Clapper says Politico “distorted” the letter he & 50
other ex-intel officials signed baselessly claiming Russian involvement
in the Hunter Biden laptop saga when Natasha Bertrand’s headline said
they labeled the laptop “Russian disinfo.”https://t.co/RvxMkK3lHr

Those
who have been following the saga closely are crying foul, pointing out
Clapper took no issue with the context and publication of the letter
until now.
If James Clapper truly
believed Politico "deliberately distorted" that letter he signed onto,
then why did he wait until Glenn Kessler contacted him about it in 2023
versus criticizing Politico in Oct. 2020 after it published the article?

Fascinating.
Fmr
DNI James Clapper is talking to The Washington Post fact checker in an
attempt to clean up the fact he led a statement that provided Joe Biden
BS cover in the infamous Politico story: "Hunter Biden story is Russian
disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say" https://t.co/OEC0UOE9Nk

...Notably, I do not recall Clapper
rushing forward before the election to correct the widespread use of the
letter to dismiss the laptop as Russian disinformation. It was only
after the Russian disinformation claims were debunked after the election
that he appears distraught… https://t.co/MBbHSFsnL1

...Clapper appeared regularly on CNN as the false Russian disinformation story was raging.

Every word in this October 17, 2020 interview with James Clapper on CNN by @ErinBurnett - every word - is false.
Even
if they didn't know it then, they know it now. Yet CNN never once told
its audience this was false or explained how they spread false claims
before the election. https://t.co/kjLH42pbaf
Still
lying. “There was message distortion,” James Clapper says of the
election-rigging letter he signed claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was
Russian disinfo. “Politico deliberately distorted what we said.” He
didn’t say a word for 2 years. Now he’s scared https://t.co/H5B2aX9ZYq

Meanwhile,
newly minted House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan plans to
haul Clapper and others in for testimony about their claims the Hunter
Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. The letter was clearly signed,
published and promoted to protect Joe Biden's chances of occupying the
Oval Office.
"The coordinated effort to suppress public dissemination of the
serious allegations about Hunter Biden and the Biden family was a grave
disservice to American citizens' informed participation in our
democracy," Jordan wrote in a December letter to Clapper.
