(John Ransom, Headline USA) A former officer in the CIA said via Twitter he takes a sense of accomplishment from lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop to get Joe Biden elected.
“I take special pride in personally swinging the election away from Trump,” John Sipher, who served for decades as a senior operations officer at the CIA, wrote in a recent post on Twitter, according to the Epoch Times.
“I lost the election for Trump? Well then I [feel] pretty good about my influence.”
Sipher retired in 2018 after 28 years in the CIA’s national clandestine service, and has taken an active role politically since then, including signing a letter which called Hunter Biden’s laptop emails disclosed by the New York Post “Russian disinformation,” reported the Washington Examiner.
Didn’t @john_sipher sign a letter 3 weeks before the 2020 elections saying don’t look at Hunter Biden’s laptop because it’s Russian disinformation?
Now he’s lecturing people about ethical behavior?! These people have no shame…. pic.twitter.com/iJdDO06Vzt

Sipher also recently lectured Justice Clarence Thomas via Twitter about the ethics of Thomas’s wife’s political activities, causing the former acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, to tweet that Sipher had no business trying to teach anybody about ethics.
Grenell, 55, also served as ambassador to Germany from 2017-2020 and served as a special presidential envoy in the Serbia and Kosovo peace negotiations.
Sipher and his friends have tried to use weasel words in the last several weeks to shut down criticism of the letter from 2020.
“The letter explicitly stated that we didn’t know if the emails were genuine, but that we were concerned about Russian disinformation efforts,” said Russ Travers, former acting director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
The explanation came as the mainstream media belatedly admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop was real and that. much like Sipher admitted, they suppressed the truth of it to help defeat Donald Trump because the contents of the laptop were just that bad for then-candidate Joe Biden.
“This was an all-hands-on-deck type cover-up, so it wasn’t enough just to have the media black it out,” Ashley Rindsberg, author of a book about the media cover up of the laptop story, told Fox News.
“This had to be a sort of complete blanketing of the story, and that requires not allowing people to talk about it on social media because it wouldn’t have mattered if the New York Times didn’t cover it if all of Twitter and all of Facebook and all of LinkedIn and Instagram … was speaking about it anyways,”
