Biden’s false Hunter laptop letter interfered in election beyond ‘anything China or Russia’ could do: GOP pol

President Biden’s dirty campaign trick that falsely claimed The Post’s blockbuster Hunter Biden laptop story involved Russian disinformation amounts to far worse election interference than any foreign effort, a top GOP pol said Sunday.
“Actually, they knew the Hunter Biden laptop was real. The FBI knew that. They had possession of it in December 2019,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), former head of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, to the “Cats Roundtable” show.
But the Biden campaign still persuaded 51 former intelligence officials to sign onto a letter just weeks before the November 2020 presidential election to discredit — with no evidence — the Post story as Russian propaganda, Johnson said.
Then-acting CIA Director Mike Morell has since admitted in sworn testimony to the House Judiciary Committee that he organized the infamous letter after discussions with members of the Biden campaign, including current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, then a top adviser.
“They wrote a letter to interfere in our election to a far greater extent than anything China or Russia ever could hope to do — claiming that the laptop had all the earmarks of … a Russian information campaign,” Johnson fumed to John Catsimatidis on the WABC 77 AM radio show.
