>Derogatory information, purportedly from Hunter Biden’s laptop, had surfaced in a New York Post article. Soon afterward, 51 former intelligence officials signed and blasted to the media a letter warning that the laptop story “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
>The letter continued: “We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails … are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement — just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.”
Their schemes only end up making their lives worse. They kept pushing this bullshit all the way to months before a presidential election and now it’s blown up in a spectacular way. Of course now things will get worse as those Republican officials who knew all along will slowly be exposed. Combined with navalny murder and the coming murders is his wife and mother, Republicanrussia party is heading for a major defeat.
As a US citizen non-spy, the Russian fingerprints were obvious to me too.
“even if this is 100% made up I’m still going to believe because my existence depends on it. my self esteem depends on it”
edit: “It gets worse: You KNEW the allegations were false.
You knew from Impeachment 1.0 AND you knew because the Burisma founder, the alleged source of Smirnov’s info, said the exact opposite in 2019 — which I pointed out to you in Cmte hearings.
So, what else did you know?”

“guys it was NEVER about Hunter and his deals or whatever the Russian spy was selling us. It’s about DRUGS and taking adult pictures with WOMEN that we the people do NOT have to stand for!”
I’ll never understand how the Hunter laptop story got off the ground. Yeah, the son of the former VP with means drops his laptop off to a shady repair shop where the repairman is *blind*. Sure sure sure, makes a ton of sense.
Literally everyone in the country with half a brain thought this. So, of course, GOP Congress members fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. I don’t think they have even half a brain collectively among them.
The Republican party is about as credible as the Christian religion now. It’s all a bunch of hot garbage.
It is very evident that several GOP leaders are in bed with Russia, or at the very least (and worse) are being blackmailed with some very nasty secrets looming over their heads.
they *are* vindicated now.
Reminder that, according to Lev Parnas, Rudy Giuliani had knowledge that Hunter Biden’s laptop had been compromised by Russian Intelligence more than a month before the laptop mysteriously appeared in a Delaware repair shop.
It was obvious to the GOP too but at this point they know their voters will eat it up and main stream news will report on the investigations.
Republicans didn’t “fall” for anything, they deliberately pushed Russian propaganda.
The traitors are inside the building.
Well, we knew that since the whole notebook/hard-drive BS too. This was always laughably obvious stuff.
Frankly, I’m quite surprised news networks haven’t been sued over it, but I don’t think politicians are allowed to sue for defamation. Although Hunter could, and should have been doing so every time.
The important thing is a court case forces discovery, forces all details to be brought out into the light, to stand on their own ground.
I have a friend who is Republican and is convinced both parties are in bed with Russian intelligence. The rabbit hole is deep out there
Can you imagine if politicians had focused on supporting the American people instead of revenge and vice?
The downfall of this country is that one party not only doesn’t care about direct Russian interference in our country but actively cheers it on.
U.S. citizens with common sense warned in 2020 that the Hunter Biden scandal had Russian fingerprints. They feel vindicated now.
I can everyone in my home town…
“Ya but he’s still a *drug addict…”
It literally doesn’t matter. People want to believe disinformation campaigns…
Laptop dropped off at a pawn shop full of incriminating evidence wasn’t the tell?
Imagine if US officials managed to get hold of info from all devices from one of Trump’s kid or from Jared. What would they (not) found?
Hunter’s evasion of taxes and the illegal gun findings are great and he should pay the penalties and/or whatever else is decided after a due process. I could care less about the nude pictures.
Russia’s fingerprints have been all
Over everything since 2015 that has to do with the republicans . Most of them are on Putin’s payroll
The Russians already interfered in elections twice on behalf of Trump. 2016 they were part of the hackers that got Wikileaks the Hillary emails. 2020 they dropped the Hunter Biden laptop and Bursima stuff.
The only people who thought all these were bombshells were Trump GOP sycophants.
Even the laptop was preposterous.
It’s abundantly clear Hunter Bidens icloud account was intercepted. But they could never owe up to that intrusion because it would expose methods so they claimed it came from this one laptop.
Giuliani was the water carrier on that one.
The party that claims to be Christian sells their soul to the devil. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again.
From the article.
Vindicated after the lies by the GOP in the official report on Hunter Biden:

By the
*Committee on the Judiciary,
Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization
of the Federal Government, and

There is ongoing weaponization of the federal government and it’s by the right wing
anyone with half room temp IQ saw it for what it was. An attempt to discredit the impeachment process by trying to even the playing field as Trump has been impeached (twice!) by saying “look both guys have been impeached, it’s just a normal political process!” When in fact impeachment is a huge deal.
Russia has been trying to erode US democracy for petty much 100 years. This is just the newest example and most blatant example of one party being driven by outside forces. Russia really wanted aid to Ukraine to never begin and has been guiding the GOP for a while now
GOP works for Russian government…not American people.
We are the laughingstock of the entire democratic world.
? There are hundreds of weird images from his laptop and he got a slap on the wrist for a ton of shady shit. What.
[removed]
To be fair, only literally all of humanity that aren’t the target of Russian propaganda said the same thing. So. It’s not exactly something to be vindicated by.
This being a Russian op was obvious to anyone with 2 brain cells. Even Trumpers knew it. They just wanted to believe it.
Incredible mind-blowing coincidence and irony of our times is that everything and everyone we dislike has foreign spies fingertips all over. Historians of the future will probably write many books about this curious phenomenon.
Were any of these spies also the same ones that were captured or killed at a higher rate after Trump met with Putin after mishandling even more TS documents? Just curious if these guys are okay after being this honest.
Good news. I always thought Hunter was worth every penny of his $50k / month salary
Republicans are compromised by Russia, they are traitors to America and western democracy
Anyone with an IQ over 28 could have told you that a blind computer repair guy from bumblefuck Maryland didn’t just happen to find a bunch of highly incriminating material on the abandoned laptop of the vice president’s son a month before the election. Nevermind any of the other nonsense they’ve been trying to contaminate the news cycle with.
Those “spies” said the Hunter Biden laptop was fake “Russian disinformation,” like the article says we have confirmation the laptop is real
lol is this headline really trying to convince people that the laptop is fake again?
So Russia made him smoke crack and trick Ukraine into a war. I knew it!
When the fuck are the republicans as a whole going going to be investigated for collusion with Russia?
People are still believing this nonsense even after all the proof
What a worthless article. So they feel vindicated because a guy who had nothing to do with the laptop lied? Really? Because it seems a little fishy that Blinken was the one that came up with the idea of the open letter and then what a surprise he gets named as the Secretary of State when Biden wins. This is like me saying I feel vindicated for calling someone an asshole when a year after I called them an asshole someone totally unrelated acts like an asshole.
Everyone warned that Russia was involved..
Republicans: stupid to the core
