It is not wrong for former members of our Intel community to support political candidates, including men or women, running for President. The problem, or issue, with the 51 former No-tel hacks listed below is that they conspired, lied, and still stuck by or hid from the letter of misinformation they all signed. That letter claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop did not exist and that the idea was a product of Russian misinformation. This letter was used by politicians and the media to gaslight the public and to hide the reality that would have harmed Biden’s Presidential run. This letter was written on October 19, 2020, just weeks before the 2020 Presidential Election. Documents prove the FBI took possession of the Hunter Biden laptop in December 2019. The laptop that did not exist, according to these 51 individuals, had been in FBI headquarters for nearly a year. None of these lying former American spies will retract their claim.
I will not try and speculate who coordinated this letter and its impact on the election. The hearings will start in January, and let’s see who of the 51 are willing to lie under oath. These men and women need to be held accountable for their actions. It is the only way to restore some credibility in our government. That credibility was destroyed by the Lois Lerners and James Comeys of the swamp, who broke the rules, got caught, and retired with full benefits. We only need to be patient for a few weeks. January 3rd, the fun starts, and the onion gets peeled.

Russ Travers, former National Counterterrorism Center acting director: “The letter explicitly stated that we didn’t know if the emails were genuine, but that we were concerned about Russian disinformation efforts. I spent 25 years as a Soviet/Russian analyst. Given the context of what the Russians were doing at the time (and continue to do — Ukraine being just the latest example), I considered the cautionary warning to be prudent.”

Don Hepburn, former national security executive, now President of Boanerges Solutions LLC: “My position has not changed any. I believe the Russians made a huge effort to alter the course of the election . . . The Russians are masters of blending truth and fiction and making something feel incredibly real when it’s not. Nothing I have seen really changes my opinion. I can’t tell you what part is real and what part is fake, but the thesis still stands for me, that it was a media influence hit job.”
Timothy D. Kilbourn, former dean of CIA’s Kent School of Intelligence Analysis: Didn’t respond.

Heck, many of the “51” have already lied to Congress without any repercussions, this is nothing new for them!
Does anyone really think that there will be consequences for the 51 so called “Intelligence experts” who blatantly lied to the American people to throw an election; many of whom had and continue to have lucrative gigs on CNN and CNBC as well as their nice government pensions.
What we all suspected is now revealed as truth but the silence from the left and all the mainstream media is deafening. What is the recourse left for the people when we have a government where the FBI and the DOJ have become the enforcement arm of the Democrat party; just like what the Stasi did in East Germany or the KGB do in Russia. Twitter, Facebook and all the other social and mainstream media, all the Democrats, and the FBI now admittedly and provably interfered in the 2020 election by conspiring to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story to illegally affect the outcome of a Presidential election. The key word is ILLEGAL election interference. Not to mention twitter interfering in Arizona this year and how many other elections and censoring and shadow banning major conservative voices prior to the 2020 election, the 2022 mid-terms, and all through the COVID crisis. It is an outright conspiracy to deny Americans their first Amendment rights of free speech. It seems to me that the only remedy is for citizens or states Attorney Generals to sue the Federal government for a conspiracy to deny their first amendment rights. Then the only questions will be, is the Supreme Court going to take up the most important case in the history of our country and is anyone ever going to be held accountable? I am not holding my breath.
