Washington Examiner - Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
A longtime CIA veteran who signed the infamous letter baselessly asserting Russian involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop saga said he was proud to have played his part in influencing the 2020 election in favor of President Joe Biden — before backtracking and claiming he was being sarcastic when he became embroiled in a Twitter spat with Donald Trump’s ex-intelligence chief.
John Sipher retired in 2014 after a 28-year career in the CIA’s National Clandestine Service, and he is one of the dozens of former intelligence officials who claimed the laptop story “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Sipher, a longtime defender of Christopher Steele’s discredited dossier, is now a co-founder of Spycraft Entertainment and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.
