from ZeroHedge:
It appears the “Russia, Russia, Russia” cries from Adam Schiff and his dutiful media peons is dead (we can only hope) as Director of National Intel John Ratcliffe just confirmed to Foxx Business’ Maria Bartiromo that:
“Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”
As Politico’s Quint Forgey details (@QuintForgey), DNI Ratcliffe is asked directly whether accusations leveled against the Bidens in recent days are part of a Russian disinformation effort.
He says no:
“Let me be clear. The intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that.”
“We have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden’s laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign. It’s simply not true.”
“And this is exactly what I said would I stop when I became the director of national intelligence, and that’s people using the intelligence community to leverage some political narrative.”
“And in this case, apparently Chairman Schiff wants anything against his preferred political candidate to be deemed as not real and as using the intelligence community or attempting to use the intelligence community to say there’s nothing to see here.”
“Don’t drag the intelligence community into this. Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign. And I think it’s clear that the American people know that.”
The director of National Intellegence sees more Intellegence than anyone in the country other than @POTUS that is why today he will tell us what is russian dis-information & what is not. Join us #live for @DNI_Ratcliffe @MorningsMaria @FoxBusiness #Exclusive
