Another name infamous for disinformation has been added to the "smear Biden" campaign

Peter Schweizer, who is now claiming on Breitbart that a former associate of Hunter Biden's, Bevan Cooney, who's currently in prison for fraud, suddenly decided (you can bet a pardon was dangled) to give Schweizer access to his email account, where Schweizer found emails (you can bet they're forged) damaging to both Joe and Hunter Biden.

So we now have a pathetically wobbly three-legged stool of disinformation and smearing.

Giuliani and his Russian intelligence sources, guaranteed to be directed by Putin.

Bannon and his Chinese billionaire pal Guo Wengui, a Mar-A-Lago member, who claims to have been a whistle blower who needed asylum from China (though his claims couldn't be verified by media), who claims to be an activist though from what I saw skimming a lot of tweets last night real anti-China-government activists consider him a gangster, and who's considered by some to actually be working for Xi. According to the Wikipedia page on this character, there's some background in hiring people to forge documents.

And Schweizer, long connected to Bannon.

The obvious intent is to flood RW media with a lot of disinformation in the weeks before the election, using forged documents. And to taunt mainstream media into giving this tsunami of bullshit some attention.

Btw, as far as the allegations I saw last night that Guo is actually working for Xi -- I don't doubt for one second that Xi would prefer to have an easily manipulated fool like Donald Trump as president, rathre than Biden, who'd be able to move against China's expansion of economic and military power. And if it's true that Guo is working for Xi, he's a perfect back channel to the Trump administration.

Watching news this morning, COVID-19 infections over 69,000 yesterday. Hospitalization and death on the rise. Americans know who have created this mess. They want this man out of office with the rest of his fucked up administration and the fucked up republican congress.

This bullshit attack on Hunter is deplorable.

Doesn't matter what they say now. Let them say anything they want. We're all voting for Joe no matter what. That's how much we despise Trump and the fascist GOP.
