A video making the rounds is embarrassing Democrats and liberal media members for suggesting Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.”
This week, federal prosecutors used the laptop as evidence in the first son’s ongoing federal gun trial in Delaware, calling into question the question of its authenticity.
X user @KanekoaTheGreat shared a nearly twenty-minute video of clips showing news organizations and prominent liberal figures casting doubt on the computer’s legitimacy.
“Well, the Russians would be my No. 1 bet,” former FBI agent Eric O’Neill tells ABC News in an October 2020 clip.
The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah interjects: “Damn, you know a story is shady when Facebook says, ‘woah, woah, woah, maybe people shouldn’t see this.’
A viral video showed the bevy of news reports casting doubt on the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s (left) laptop.
A segment from CBS discusses how then-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s Twitter account was briefly suspended when she attempted to share The New York Post’s report on the laptop’s existence.
The Post broke the laptop story and his own Twitter account was suspended during that time.
DailyMail.com verified the content with top experts in April 2021.
A clip from CNN shared by @KanekoaTheGreat discusses how Trump’s campaign and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani noted how he has “openly worked to dig up dirt and promote disinformation about the Bidens.”
The report also notes that Russia’s disinformation campaign is “in full swing” ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Giuliani was a key player in former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, in which the president held up a congressionally approved payment to Ukraine to pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce an investigation into Hunter Biden’s business deals.
At the time, The Washington Post reports this that the Trump White House had been warned that Giuliani – one of the sources of the laptop – was the target of a Russian intelligence operation.
But to this day there is no evidence that the laptop was the product of Russian interference.
The video includes a number of news clips from mainstream media saying Hunter Biden’s laptop was likely ‘Russian disinformation’
“This looks like Russian intelligence, this walks like Russian intelligence, this talks like Russian intelligence. “This attempt by Rudy Giuliani and the New York Post and Steve Bannon to concoct so-called dirt on Joe Biden looks like a classic Russian disinformation campaign,” Jeremy Bash, former head of state at the CIA and the Department of Defense, said on MSNBC.
“So when the Intelligence Committee comes in and Donald Trump warns that Rudy Giuliani is being handled by Russian intelligence, and Rudy Giuliani suddenly comes forward with these mysteriously created emails, probably hacked by Russian intelligence operations, we have to acknowledge the fact that The President of the United States supports, condones, and welcomes a Russian intelligence operation in 2020,” Bash added, calling it “in plain sight.”
In part of the video, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour is pushing back when Republican National Committee spokesperson Liz Harrington asks “how do you know?” when the CNN anchor repeats the disinformation claim.
“Okay, I would love it if you guys would start digging and do that verification,” Harrington said.
“No, we don’t do that to do your work for you,” Amanpour replied.
‘That’s the job of a journalist!’ the guest pushed back. ‘It is the job of a journalist to find out whether this has been verified.
Amanpour rolled her eyes.
A number of top intelligence officials also make cameos in the viral video, including James Brennan, the ex-director of the CIA and James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, as well as former Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.
