"MSNBC vindicates ex-intel officials' claim on Hunter Biden laptop; GOP's Biden impeachment website update; The Smirnov Affair and FBI's garbage analysis"

MSNBC claims that ex-intel officials were vindicated in their assertion that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation, following the DOJ's indictment of FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who allegedly had ties to Russian intelligence officials. The network revisited the open letter signed by 51 ex-intel officials in 2020, insisting that the published emails had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." NBC News, which previously dismissed the laptop story, has since verified its contents, including Hunter Biden's lavish spending.
