(PJ Media) Prosecutors in Donald Trump’s New York City trial alleged that he attempted to unlawfully sway the 2016 presidential election by suppressing damaging stories about his personal life.
“This was a planned, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election, to help Donald Trump get elected through illegal expenditures to silence people who had something bad to say about his behavior,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo told the jurors back in April. “It was election fraud, pure and simple.”
If trying to suppress damaging stories is a crime, then former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and the 50 other national security officials who signed onto a letter claiming that the infamous Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation should all be charged with the same crime.
As we all know, prosecutors in Hunter’s trial have introduced his “laptop from hell” as evidence, and it is the position of the Department of Justice that the laptop is not only genuine but also that it was not tampered with.
Biden’s legal team had tried desperately to prevent the laptop from being included as evidence, claiming that it had “numerous reasons to believe the data had been altered and compromised before investigators obtained the electronic material.” However, the prosecution argued that attorneys didn’t provide “any evidence or information that shows that his laptop contains false information,” and the judge consequently agreed to admit the laptop as evidence.
FBI agent Erika Jensen testified to the laptop’s authenticity and explained how the information was verified. There is no doubt that the laptop was Hunter Biden’s and that it was entirely legitimate.
Yet Clapper refuses to retract the letter he signed falsely claiming that the laptop was Russian disinformation — the letter which Big Tech used to suppress the damaging story for Joe Biden’s campaign weeks before the presidential election.
