Those 51 infamous “lying spies” who called Hunter Biden’s laptop and it’s verified contents “Russian disinformation” have been debunked. The biggest names on that list of spooky rats are about to be hauled in front of Congress for some intense interrogation.
Lying spies dragged into light
The lying spies are finally being dragged out into the light of public accountability. Now that Jim Jordan is firmly in charge of the House Judiciary committee, he teamed up with conservative Ohio colleague Mike Turner who’s running the House Intelligence Committee. As New York Post reports, on Monday, February 6, they announced their joint project.
They clued in the public that they’re demanding in-depth, deposition like interviews “from leaders of the coterie of 51 former intelligence officials who implied that The Post’s bombshell 2020 reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop were based on Russian misinformation.”
These won’t be the usual round table episodes calculated to produce sound bites, as politicians spout rhetoric reflecting their particular partisan views. Democrats on the panel won’t be able to diffuse controversial testimony with fast thinking and interruptions.

Third party interrogators will conduct in depth interrogations lasting hours with each of the “lying” spies. A court reporter will take it all down and everyone can fight over the transcripts, with the full story in hand for both sides to use. Not all 51 will be hauled in, only the ones with the biggest clout.
According to a leak from the committee, “Republicans are prepared to force the testimony with subpoenas if the ex-spooks refuse to appear voluntarily.” If the subpoenas are ignored, there will be contempt of Congress charges.
Even powerful former spies are afraid of those. “Subpoenas are very likely and the intelligence officials know it. Why not just cooperate now?”
The best known figures
America will soon get to read detailed transcripts of the questioning. Spooky spies like former CIA directors Michael Hayden and John Brennan will have to take the oath. Ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is going to get some intense grilling, too. Those “were the best-known figures” who publicly disgraced themselves.
Each and every one of them swore up and down that the whole laptop story “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” That wasn’t the whole truth and they knew it. The idea was to make everyone think it was bogus, when it was really real.
The targets of congressional oversight have had lots of time to prepare for the interrogation. “You have been on notice about our oversight request—and aware the request is outstanding — for months,” the lawmakers reminded.

The spies were all asked to “identify all people with whom you communicated about the inception, drafting, editing, signing, publishing, or promotion” of the propaganda piece which appeared on October 19, 2020. That was just before the big and controversial election.
Behind the scenes, the Twitter Files has revealed that there was “unprecedented Big Tech censorship” of New York Post reporting “on documents linking then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to his son Hunter and brother James Biden’s business deals in China and Ukraine.” Joe’s other brother Frank just surfaced as a co-conspirator in Biden family influence peddling.
The lies produced by famous spies had an effect on the election. During the final debate between Biden and Trump, Joe defended himself with their lies. “Look, there are 50 former National Intelligence folks who said that what this, he’s accusing me of, is a Russian plan.” Joe lied.
