ANALYSIS – One of the most egregious efforts at election interference in 2020 was when the Joe Biden campaign successfully quashed the bombshell New York Post story of Hunter Biden's laptop.
The laptop has proven to hold a treasure trove of incriminating evidence against the Bidens.
But it was effectively kept from the American people in the final weeks of the campaign through a concerted conspiracy between the Biden campaign, Big Tech social media companies, the major news networks, and a group of former spies.
And one of those who helped hide it from the public is now an on-air CNN analyst.
It has since been documented that Antony Blinken, then with the Biden campaign, now Biden Secretary of State, retained former senior U.S. intelligence officials to smear the laptop story as Russian disinformation.
As I have written about, 51 former spooks eventually signed a letter calling the laptop story likely Russian disinformation. This was then used as justification by the media to censor and ban the story.
One of the most senior of those partisan intelligence hacks was ex-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper.
As a reward for his disservice, Clapper has now been hired by CNN as an analyst where he will be able to spew disinformation on all manner of national security and political topics.
And Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy made a big deal about this on a recent CNN appearance.
In a tense back-and-forth exchange with the reporter McCarthy ignored the question about Trump's classified documents case and instead emphasized that Clapper had been one of dozens of former intelligence officials who signed the letter dismissing the Post's October 2020 expose on Hunter's laptop as a Russian disinformation.
He also threw in CNN's hiring of discredited former deputy FBI chief Andrew McCabe who was fired for leaking classified information.
“Are you prepared to defend your network, CNN?” McCarthy said as they spoke over each other. “Even though your network hired Andrew McCabe, who was fired from the FBI for leaking classified documents, did you remove him from your network? No, you continue to put him on to give judgment against President Trump. You also hired Clapper …”
McCarthy later continued, according to Fox:
“So, your network hires Clapper, who literally lied to the American public – one of 51 other individuals that had briefings and used it politically to tell the American public that a laptop was Russia collusion, even though it had all this information about the Biden administration,” the speaker said.
“Are you prepared to get rid of those people from your network? Because my concern as a policymaker is that when [you] weaponize government, and now you're weaponizing networks, that is wrong,” McCarthy continued. “I have a real problem that your network actually pays people who did classified information and then lied to the American public to try to influence a presidential election, and then you put them on your network to give an opinion.”
This line of attack against CNN and other major news outlets that hire ex-officials involved in partisan election interference is valid and should be continued.
This goes well beyond just being partisan.

Now CNN has got the Clap
The perfect hire for CNN. No indoctrination necessary when hiring one who does not know how to tell the truth and will lie even when it is not necessary. Unfortunately for him and CNN, he does not lie convincingly so you know he is playing you for a fool.
Is it any wonder why CNN’s ratings are in the tank? All they do is hire these political hacks to back up the false information they put out to the public.
globalists own the media and of course globalists only hire globalist puppet, god worshiping demonrat and god worshiping rinos who preach globalist agendas .
Democrats do not worship God! Are you seriously so stupid?
Neither Democrats or RINOs worship the true God!
every time globalist puppet, god worshiping demonrats and god worshiping rinos open their mouth you know they are not telling the truth, only preaching god and his globalist agendas . . . . .
You’re a Satan worshipper! Democrats do not worship God! You’re entirely stupid. No wonder you use the fake name of vladimir.
CNN, is a disgrace all they offer is a bunch of proven lier for the Corupt DemocRATic party.
Or should I call it the Communist party?
The one thing I know for sure are these people on CNN are TRATORS to this country
and should be at the end of a rope.
Good keep CNN in Perm TDS
Clapper is a traitor.
Since CNN is clearly in the enemy camp, leftist anti Constitutional Republic, no one should be surprised by their anti-American reaction to anything.
Appropriate since CNN is clearly the enemy of the Constitutional Republic camp!
The big question is “will anyone be charged with the crime of election interference? I doubt it.
