If thereâs one thing that the Hunter Biden laptop episode has proven, it is that former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency arenât as adept at evaluating evidence as advertised.
Five former directors or acting directors of the CIA signed a letter asserting that the laptop, first reported by the New York Post in the weeks before the election, âhas all the hallmarks of Russian information operation.â
More than 50 former senior intelligence officials, including former director of national intelligence James Clapper, endorsed the letter, which was used by the Biden campaign and the press to discredit the damning emails about Hunter Bidenâs business dealings.
