On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” broadcast Thursday, NBC News justice and intelligence correspondent Ken Dilanian claimed that the signatories on Hunter Biden’s laptop: letter Alexander Smirnov’s indictment “vindicates that,” even though the contents of the laptop “seem to be somewhat corroborated by this indictment, at least according to the informant’s statements.” “We now know that Russian intelligence gave him information, false information.” “It wasn’t a hoax,” and “many of them are now corroborated.”
Mr. Dilanian said:[T]It called on 51 former intelligence officials, who paid a high price to sign the letter. House Republicans conducted an investigation. They brought some of them to testify under oath. Republicans claimed this was election interference and a false attempt to suppress legitimate reporting. And as it turns out, they were right, not in a sense. They said that the laptop was part of a Russian information operation or had all the characteristics of a Russian information operation. They’re not saying that what’s inside the laptop is a hoax, and of course we know that’s not the case. Many of them are now corroborated. They said it raises questions about why such a story surfaced during an election campaign and whether Russian intelligence is whipping it up or amplifying it in some way. It meant that he was holding her. And now in the sense that we know that Russian intelligence was feeding him information, false information, at least according to this informant’s statements, which is somewhat corroborated by this indictment. , has been proven correct. ”
He then added: “But going back to the 51 intelligence officials, clearly what they were doing was trying to help Joe Biden. They admitted it. They were Democrats. I knew that at the time. You can see who signed that letter. But what they were making in that letter was that the Russians were telling the story that Joe Biden and his son were corrupt. The fact that he was trying to fabricate a story remains valid over time.”
