The experts and directors stated that, while there was concern that the laptop had the potential to be linked to Russian disinformation efforts, it did not say that the existence or contents of the laptop were not genuine.
The letter also stated that if the laptop reveal were part of a Russian disinformation effort it would be"consistent with Russian objectives...to create political chaos in the United States and to deepen political divisions here but also to undermine the candidacy of former Vice President Biden and thereby help the candidacy of President Trump."
"The letter said it had the earmarks of Russian deceit and we should consider that as a possibility; it did not say Hunter Biden was a good guy, it didn't say what he did was right and it wasn't exculpatory, it was just a cautionary letter," Wise told the Australian publication.
