A key signer of the open letter that wrongly suggested The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s emails was part of a “Russian information operation” has accused Politico of distorting “what we said” — more than two years after the fact.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper tried Monday to tamp down the growing controversy over the letter that he and 50 other ex-spooks signed after The Post first revealed the existence of the first son’s infamous laptop in October 2020.
Their public statement, now the subject of investigations by the Republican-led House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, was first reported by Politico

What an idiot.

They said it had all the “hallmarks “ of a Russian disinformation project. They didn’t actually say it was one. Depends on what the meaning of is is.

So, Clapper, et al, are blasting POLITICO for "misrepresenting: what they actually. And so when, exactly, will they blast BIDEN???

That's called quibbling, Clapper, same as lying only more clever. Don't recall you or any of the other 50 correcting Politico or Biden. You all brought dishonor to your profession.

They read the wording, knew exactly what it said, knew the media would run with it, then minced the words after the damage was done. This was the plan all along.

Is there anything positive to be said about Clapper? I see no evidence that he has a good side.

It has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. You know, a Russian agent disguising himself as the son of a former vice president of the United States, and pretending to leave his computer with a computer repair shop, and then pretending to forget to come back and get it. All after perfectly fabricating tens of thousands of photos, videos, emails and other artifacts on the fake computer- even planting corresponding emails on hundreds of other people’s computers so it appeared as if they really sent them to the the laptop in question. This is the typical playbook of Russian disinformation. As Larry Fein said, “that’s the way they always do it.”

I used to work for him when he was a 3 star Air Force general and he would tell a lie that he was once a sergeant in the Marine Corps which was an absolute lie. Why a 3 star general would lie about once being a Marine sergeant is beyond me.

#3 Nails it, their little word game was supposed to go over our heads. All the "hallmarks" of Russian disinformation knowing full well how that would play in the heads of those who were looking for an excuse to ignore the obvious authenticity.

Here's the thing ... they said it had the earmarks of Russian disinformation. That's true.
BUT ... why didn't they correct all the Media disinformation about what they said in the letter when they heard it claimed ... especially when Joe Biden claimed it in a debate.
It's obvious that's exactly what they wanted.

Clapper is hoping democrats have a short memory...I'm not hearing that on the news...more and more black men are moving into the conservative column...I like their style...but the hopelessly addicted black women are still in bondage to the democrats with abortion and monthly checks and subsidized housing in high size building that are filthy and dangerous with drugs and hopeless addicted black voters who are paid $100 for their democratic vote by the refrump Jackson of the rainbow coalition...they are slaves to the democratic machine....

Clapper and the other letter signers knew exactly how the fawning press and Biden loyalist would interpret their letter. They would see it as an exoneration of Biden and Hunter. The carefully worded Washington legalese was understandable only to those who signed the letter, with interpretation of what they "really meant" to come only if the true Hunter Biden laptop story ever came out. Now, caught in their lie by omission, Clapper and the other signers, can fall back on their special legalese and say "that's not what our letter said, that's how you read it" and be technically correct while lying with a straight face. Intelligence leaders a professional liars by training and years of experience. They re much better at it than politicians and the media.
