Remember when 51 intelligence officers wrote a letter in 2020 saying Hunter Biden's laptop had all the hallmarks of “Russian disinformation”?

Then-candidate Joe Biden Discussion Stage He met with President Donald Trump and used the letter to deflect Trump's claims about the laptop from hell. And it worked.

The rest is history: Biden won the election, the laptop turned out to be real, and the letter became part of a coordinated PR plan by the Biden campaign.

Democrats think the same ploy will work again this time, with 16 partisan economists, but this time the US media is proving to be a little shrewder.

What will the 51 intelligence officials who warned that Hunter Biden's laptop was fake have to say about this? https://t.co/lhfCCbTrZ4

16 Nobel Prize-winning economists letter He argues that a Trump resurgence would bring back inflation and wreak havoc on the global economy, and claims Biden's economic record is “much better.”

This was no doubt timed to give Biden another talking point in Thursday night's debate. He has long Assert Trump only cares about the rich, even though Americans trust him far more when it comes to the economy and inflation. Trust the Experts™ is Biden’s only recourse, as if a mother who now pays double to fill her tank with gas and put food on the table cares about what the experts say.

But you don't even have to believe your lying eyes. Fox News Already it is becoming clear what the plan is: a partisan ploy masquerading as authority. In a not entirely unexpected development, the list of signatories is “rich” with Biden donors and outspoken Trump critics, including one who donated $90,000 to the Democratic Party over Biden's career. The list is largely made up of elite university professors, including the husband of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who has a long history of backing Biden's inflationary economic policies. Surely, these are voices of academic objectivity.

Biden, being shameless and desperate, will surely use this letter on the debate stage. It just goes to show how stupid they think we all are. But these days, lies are exposed faster than the Democrats can spread them.
