Republicans Launch Probe of Spy ‘script’ Casting Biden Allegations as Disinfo in 2020 ; Hunter Biden Says His Addiction Used as ‘disinformation’ Against Father; Stop Playing the Victim, Hunter Biden! It’s About Corruption, Not Addiction

Republicans launch probe of spy ‘script’ casting Biden allegations as disinfo in 2020:

The House Judiciary Committee launched an inquiry Wednesday into the US intelligence community’s interactions with Congress in 2020 about corruption claims involving President Biden and his family — saying the nation’s spies may have obstructed the work of Congress by portraying the allegations as Russian disinformation.

Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote to Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines demanding details about an Aug. 6, 2020, “defensive briefing” given to two Republican senators who were finishing a report on alleged Biden family influence peddling in countries such as China and Ukraine.

Jordan, one of the leaders of the House GOP impeachment inquiry into Biden’s role in his family’s dealings, is also demanding details about interactions that summer with Democrats, including then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who cast doubt on the reliability of evidence about the Biden family’s dealings.

“The Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government are investigating allegations that the U.S. Intelligence Community obstructed a congressional inquiry in 2020 by falsely alleging that the work of two U.S. Senators was advancing Russian ‘disinformation,’” Jordan wrote to Haines.

Two FBI officials gave the defensive briefing — a term for briefings that warn potential targets of foreign intelligence operations — to Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) even though the senators later said it was “unnecessary” and “consisted primarily of information that [the senators] already knew.”

The defensive briefing, Johnson and Grassley fumed in a later statement, “provided the Democrats and liberal media the vehicle to spread their false narrative that our work advanced Russian disinformation.”

FBI official Nikki Floris, who now leads the Washington Field Office’s Intelligence Division, said she and another FBI official gave the briefing in 2020 at the behest of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. —>READ MORE HERE

Hunter Biden says his addiction used as ‘disinformation’ against father:

Hunter Biden on Thursday said his history of substance abuse has become fodder for a disinformation campaign against President Joe Biden ahead of his father’s re-election bid.

Hunter Biden made the statement in an op-ed article for USA Today, rare public remarks on a political and legal controversy expected to feature prominently in the 2024 election.

“My struggles and my mistakes have been fodder for a vile and sustained disinformation campaign against him, and an all-out annihilation of my reputation through high-pitched but fruitless congressional investigations and, more recently, criminal charges for possessing an unloaded gun for 11 days five years ago – charges that appear to be the first-ever of their kind brought in the history of Delaware,” he wrote.

Hunter Biden, 53, was charged in September with three counts related to lying on a federal form to acquire a handgun in 2018 and for being an illegal drug user in possession of the gun. He pleaded not guilty.

Republicans have accused Hunter Biden, who has worked as a lobbyist, lawyer, investment banker and artist, of wrongdoing relating to his business activities in Ukraine and China and have made him a focus of a congressional impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. Republicans allege Biden and his family profited from policies he pursued as vice president during former President Barack Obama’s administration between 2009 and 2017. Separately, they also allege the Justice Department interfered with the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden.

They have not found any evidence of misconduct by the senior Biden. Congressional hearings so far have included personal emails and photos of Hunter’s personal life and addiction history, much of them allegedly culled from a laptop owned by the president’s son. —>READ MORE HERE
