James Clapper and our other intel ‘experts’ are full of it

By NY Post Editorial Board
March 21, 2022

America has never had so many intelligence “experts.” And they’ve never been so wrong.

Start with Hunter Biden’s “now authenticated” laptop (actually authenticated in October 2020).

The Post asked for comment from the 51 former intel-community bigwigs who signed an October 2020 letter suggesting — with zero proof, as they admitted — that the laptop info was somehow part of a Russian disinformation operation. Most declined to respond.

The few who did mostly doubled down. Notably, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told us: “I stand by the statement made AT THE TIME . . . I think sounding such a cautionary note AT THE TIME was appropriate.”

Which means our former DNI, who also served as undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, was clearly either dead wrong or flat-out lying. (Note that he dodged a perjury charge for lying to Congress about NSA data collection practices in 2013).
