that none of those 50 people had any briefings from the intelligence agency, there was no raw intelligence to assume. they took a political stance in the face of elections, of an election three weeks before the biden-trump election. they tried to distract us away from the story by saying look over at russia. beijing loved that. what is on that laptop? a whole bunch of evidence that shows that the bidens have been in economic relationships with chinese government officials. so we've got a huge problem, and it points to the fact that joe biden is unable to take on china because we know what's in that laptop indicates that the chinese know a lot more than the american public about the biden-chinese relationship. maria: you're right. and john ratcliffe came on that week and said let me be clear, this is not russian disinformation. the intelligence agencies never deemed it to be, so thank you for reiterating that.
