We’re not tuned into the newest right wing freakout over the October 2020 letter signed by 50-odd former US intel community leaders calling the Hunter Biden laptop a Russian disinfo op. Obviously they’ve been furious over it for years but for some reason we don’t really care enough to find out what specific contrivance has the MAGA media-industrial complex freaking the fuck out a little extra over the last week or so. It’s probably just another re-run in their universe of grievances.

Probably. We do wonder however what if anything “the Deep State” has up its sleeve this cycle, irrespective of whether House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer and Maria Bartiromo here and the whole MAGA Cinematic Universe at large are consciously preparing their audience for another effort at “election interference” in the coming final sprint before November. There’s no dispute over whether the Justice Department, CIA, even the White House itself, among other state actors have an absolute shit ton of dirt on Donald Trump. There were only so many incriminating documents Mark Meadows could burn in his fireplace during the last few days of Trump’s Maladministration.

Of course there aren’t going to be any new court cases brought up, but think more along the lines of selective leaks to the media and/or Dem members of Congress. Biden’s in power now, he can declassify anything damning and embarrassing about Trump – “context” be damned – if he so chooses. It’s an advantage nobody’s considered yet. The only question is if Joe wants to go there.
