Good morning! Has @JohnBrennan apologized for lying about Hunter Biden's money laundering for China being a Russian plot yet?
Or maybe first he should apologize for lying about his CIA minions spying on Congress while investigating illegal torture of prisoners... Both would be nice.
And what about @McFaul? Has he apologized yet for identifying a story as Russian propaganda without literally a scintilla of evidence? A story that has since proven true to an even greater degree?
What about @MichaelJMorell? He signed the same false letter advocating lies about the @nypost story. How can we possibly trust him on anything until he acknowledges how wrong he was?
These men who held the highest roles in America's intel community are professional paid media experts now and they lied to you for partisan purposes, defaming a media outlet as trucking in propaganda, when all it did was report THE TRUTH.
Everyone should be outraged at them for lying to the American people and betraying the trust placed in them. How many other things have they lied to you about over the years sitting across the faux tables of TV sets?
The @nypost hasn't just been vindicated in this story. They are now the primary example of the corrupt collusion of big tech, corporate media, and the intel experts whose blatant lying fueled the greatest act of American censorship in the 21st Century.
They did it. And they will do it again. Be prepared for them to lie to you, to silence you, to invade your private messages to suspend you, and to act like all these steps makes them more patriotic than you along the way.

-And now they're going to gaslight you about all of it.
Has Facebook detailed which of its paid Fact Check partners were the basis for it suspending the Hunter Biden story's spread? Have these partners retracted or altered their checks? Will they remain Fact Check partners going forward given such obvious inaccuracy?
Will anyone in the media who claimed this story was a Russian disinformation plot suffer any professional consequences for making what is now such an obviously false claim in service of partisan interest?
A lot of people seem to think @AOC was a loser in this election. Strong disagree. The majority is further left, and ready for innovative leadership, with an 80 year old Speaker who has won her last election - and a base hungry for young, passionate leadership.
Additionally, @AOC can actually leverage cross-partisan unanimity against a White House that is going to be super corporatist, pro-Big Tech and pro-Wall Street. You think that won't play with the base?
The eagerness to write off the most talented social media activist politician in the country after an election where milquetoast Democrats underperformed dramatically is just ridiculous.
I've been thinking about this comment a lot in the context that it came mere hours before noted Trumpian Nate Silver said Fox and AP should retract the call.
And to be clear, Biden could still win Arizona. But the idea that North Carolina remains uncalled and Arizona is called is just laughable among any quality GOP pollster. That's not a depiction of reality.
The Federalist made Sunlight Requests to the St Louis PD and found nothing like what was described.
"The shooting of a young boy by a cop in a St. Louis Rec Center, even if it had happened 20 years ago, I feel like that would be in my mind somewhere," said the current mayoral spokesman, a former reporter during the period in question.
"The Appalachian range was the frontier, and the settlers who lived there were rough-hewn highlanders, predominantly Scots-Irish, who had little but the confidence that they and their God were the sole authors of their fate.
"This in turn imparted a zealous belief in their own liberty: they might be poor, but they were free as only frontiersmen were free. So when the call came to stand against the hated British in the American Revolution, these men and women answered
"with the enthusiasm of a people who loved freedom and a good fight — and weren’t too careful in distinguishing the two.
