Remember the 50 so called “intelligence officers” who signed a letter saying the Hunter Biden emails had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation?
At least one person remembers:
None of these people had been briefed on the matter when they wrote this letter in October, but they used their intel backgrounds to manufacture a political distraction in coordination with their go-to advocate @NatashaBertrand.
Richard Grenell
The 50 Idiot Officers signed the letter after the following was already known:
- Hunter Biden’s position with the Burisma natural-gas firm — which paid him “as much as $50,000 per month”
- George Kent, former acting deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Kyiv, and senior State Department official Amos Hochstein — “raised concerns” to Biden’s staff and directly to Biden, respectively.
- Joe Biden’s staff advised him not to publicly accuse Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky of corruption, even though he allegedly paid a $7 million bribe to avoid prosecution and former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland.
- In addition to his Burisma board seat, Hunter Biden profited from a “financial relationship” that he and associate Devon Archer had with Russia’s richest woman, Elena Baturina, former wife of the late Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov.
- In 2014, Baturina wired $3.5 million to a bank account held by Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden.
- Hunter Biden also had “business associations” with “Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the People’s Liberation Army,” including energy tycoon Ye Jianming, who was jailed in 2018 on suspicions of bribery, and Ye’s associate Gongwen Dong.
- Hunter Biden and Gongwen “opened a bank account…to fund a $100,000 global spending spree with [Joe Biden’s brother] James Biden and [James’ wife] Sara Biden.”
And since all of that was revealed, even more is coming to light. An email shows Joe was well involved with Hunters deals, selling access to the VP. In one of CEFC’s dealings, according to the Epoch Times, it wired $5 million to Hunter Biden’s company Hudson West III, two months prior to Hunter Biden’s email requesting office space for his father and the emissary to CEFC.
These so called Intelligence Officers are just political wonks lacking any intellect.

Laugh! That is it… we now have a forever list of 50 idiot officers!
You posted this in 2020! The NYTimes just figured out this was real! What the heck does that say about media, not to mention the intelligence officers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it that NYT is the official truth validator. As noted in the comments – you posted this in 2020. No offense but that means anyone with just a little effort could validate the story enough to cover it. Yet no outlets did.
