"You misrepresented that! Brennan said, as he poked Speciale in the chest. We never said it was disinformation, we said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do. That was a trivial remark from Brennan, though, considering the letter said Biden's emails had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation. He could then be seen saying there was a big difference between a Russian influence operation and calling it disinformation. Brennan then protested no, you don't know that! when Speciale told him former FBI boss James Comey knew about the letter being false. Brennan then started waving him off and walked away."
"The letter which was signed by several other former CIA directors cast doubt on an October 2020 report from the New York Post that then-candidate Joe Biden (D) was closely tied to his son's business deals in Ukraine. Joe Biden, as vice president, pressured government officials to fire an executive at an energy firm, the NYP report said. The NYP report was censored by tech companies like Twitt"
At a George Mason University conference, Thomas Speciale confronted former CIA Director John Brennan about signing a 2020 letter by 51 former intelligence officials that characterized the Hunter Biden laptop reporting as bearing the classic earmarks of a Russian influence operation. Brennan stepped close, poked Speciale, and insisted the letter described a Russian influence operation rather than calling the reporting disinformation, asserting a meaningful distinction. Speciale accused Brennan of signing the memo despite knowledge that the laptop was real; Brennan denied that claim and walked away after protesting that Speciale did not know the facts. The exchange follows controversy over the October 2020 New York Post report and its moderation by tech platforms.
