Now that it hit the fan, one of the notorious 51 “former intelligence officials” has come forward to recant his story about emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop. He admits that he’s not the only one convinced that “a significant portion of that content had to be real.” They declared it “a Russian information operation,” anyway.
The emails were really real
Emails oozing out of Hunter Biden’s laptop were solid and since confirmed evidence of crimes committed by Joe Biden. When he joined 50 of his colleagues in signing the “now-discredited open letter” attempting to debunk that evidence, Douglas Wise put his reputation on the line.
The former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director and former senior CIA operations officer got stuck with a whole lot of egg on his face.
More than two years after the story broke, Wise “made a stunning admission,” Fox News reports. He “now admits most of what was found in the reported emails had to be based in reality.” Not just him, they all did.

“All of us figured that a significant portion of that content had to be real to make any Russian disinformation credible.” They did their part as agents of the Deep State and dutifully covered the evidence up by discrediting it. In other words, they interfered in the 2020 presidential election.
Even though he knows he was lying, that doesn’t bother Wise any. After all, he’s a spook. Wise told an Australian interviewer he “had no regrets signing onto the letter.” He also admits it was “no surprise” that “the emails were genuine.”
Every Democrat inside the beltway was pointing to that open letter, published by Politico, “to downplay the findings from Hunter Biden’s laptop.” Mainstream media used it as an excuse not to cover the story. Conservative media was all over it, but were not “being taken seriously.”
Russia is the threat
Each and every one of the former intelligence agents seem to be stuck in a cold-war mentality of Russian paranoia. Russia planted those true emails, they believed. “We are all individuals who devoted significant portions of our lives to national security.” They hear the word Russia and alarm bells start ringing in their heads. “We are all also individuals who see Russia as one of our nation’s primary adversaries.”
Their paranoia was clearly leveraged by the anti-Trump factions in the Just Us Department. “All of us have an understanding of the wide range of Russian overt and covert activities that undermine US national security, with some of us knowing Russian behavior intimately, as we worked to defend our nation against it for a career.” The cold war is over but they don’t want to stop fighting it.
He goes on to admit he helped rig the election in favor of Joe Biden by covering up his alleged crimes. “Perhaps most important, each of us believes deeply that American citizens should determine the outcome of elections, not foreign governments.” American citizens like him and his buddies, that is.

“It is for all these reasons that we write to say that the arrival on the US political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the Board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
While that might have been the way the Russians do things, it doesn’t mean they did it this time. That’s a conclusion they wanted to jump to like obsessed lemmings. Because they knew that the evidence in the emails, and the messages themselves, were totally authentic.
They knew Hunter really did own that laptop and put all the contents on it. Despite that, they said the whole thing was made up Russian nonsense so forget all about it. To cover their assets, they tucked a little line at the end of the story where nobody would notice. “We do not know whether these press reports are accurate.” Apparently, they did know but didn’t want to admit it.
