Washington D.C. – Washington D.C. is a place where liars can get rich and President Trump is about to give some accountability to the 51 national security officials who infamously claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” – many of whom were cable news commentators — on day one of his second term in the White House.
The New York Post reported that they obtained emails showing Hunter Biden had introduced his father Joe to a top executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma less than a year before he pressured Ukrainian officials to fire a prosecutor investigating the company in a bombshell Oct. 2020 article.
Shortly thereafter, 51 former national security officials issued a public letter stating that the laptop was like a “Russian information operation” despite the fact that they did not have “any evidence of Russian involvement.”
Despite the fact that the claims suggested in this letter were never corroborated, Fox News reports that many of its signatories went on to become frequent contributors to cable news networks, oftentimes using their positions of authority to further bash Trump.
The bigger question is why “former” officials get to retain security clearances?
