I said this right at the beginning:

> In fairness, it could well be that 99% of the E-mails and other information are true, but that the drive is ‘salted’ with nuggets of disinformation. That’s how spooks do it. They aren’t going to fake gigabytes of pictures and other data. They’re going to hack or steal a real hard drive, then inject a few fake things that look real because everything else checks out.
> 
> Trying to prove that there is no disinformation by checking random E-mails or photos is exactly what the spooks expect you to do. So the only way to ‘validate’ the salacious material that matters is to fact-check that material independently of any other fact checks - something that hasn’t really been done yet.

I also said that so far, there was nothing that directly tied Joe Biden to it.

My take back then has stood the test of time. The insults and accusations of lying hurled against me then, not so much.

If anything, I gave the ‘Russian disinformtion’ letter by those spooks more credibility than I should have.
