tactical officers standing with their guns slung. not on the hunt for a potential shooter coming their way. this has all the ear marks of something that has been resolved. you see all the cars right there. a decision will have to be made on who you let out and how you respon respond. it is based on the shooter who is dead. by now they ll have a lot of information on that shooter. juliette, you just heard chief ramsey talk about this is likely, like just going to be one shooter. and our colleague steve weighed in saying there is often a second shooter that is reported.
from the last three presidents. trump was at 41 at this point in his presidency and president obama was at 53. so it s clear that he is not anxious to take white ranging questions from the press and we ll see if that press conference that was in his head actually come to fruition. joe, thank you. thank you, martha. martha: so the select committee on weaponization of the government is expected to hear directly from former cia director john brennan and former director of national intelligence, james clapper who both signed on to this letter dismissing hunter biden s laptop saying that it had all the ear marks of a tool of russian disinformation and that they had been in this business a long time. they know this when they see it. secretary blinken, what was his role? he has denied being the driving force behind it. we re going to talk to a congress woman that sits on that committee and get her take next. one of the great benefits of
there discrediting the laptop story as russian disinformation to give biden a talking point. now, this now has all of the ear marks of a political operation that has been thoroughly discredited. so, what s the potential down side for biden there? the washington examiner said that, and he did, it worked well according to plan, but the weaponization committee in the house, of course controlled by republicans now, is calling forth a number of these people who signed on to it, top heavy hitters what it was. did you think it was helpful for the vice president, or you think it was russian disinformation, a lot of questions. but there are very few people who thinks anything sticks. and accountability for it. john: history has proven. one of the people who got the email was our own dan hoffman,
are. he wants to face the music and look democrats and republicans and independents in the eye so he sent this letter to the democratic side, he sent it to the republican side. he s not afraid to confront the adam sheriff s and eric swalwells and jokesters who gave us the bogus stories the last four years. the reason he s so confident he has the receipts and contemporaneous documents it s not going to be in doubt what he presents to congress because it s already presented to the ig. the ig has an extensive investigation going on now. sean: let me ask you john, this is important information. you reported earlier in the week that congress had tomorrow morning that the biden campaign was behind that letter. now, everybody may remember 51 former intel people saying before the 2020 presidential election that, oh, no, it had all the ear marks of being russian disinformation. all right, so you put out this week that congress had the testimony, that the biden campaign was behind that letter
election and said the re-lations about hunter biden s laptop, which by the way for be said it was fake but they said this has all the ear marks of russian disinformation. just ignore this before the election. now the new york post reporting that antony blinken with the biden campaign as a foreign policy adviser at the time that he was the one that made the call to set this letter in motion. let s call all of our intel contacts, let s get them to get out there and say yes, this looks likes russian disinformation to us. so we ll have more with joe concha in just a second. first to mike emanuel reporting live for us from d.c. on the back story. hi, mike. hi, martha. the white house is responding after revelations from an irs insider turned whistle-blower. his attorney says his client has information of preferential treatment and politics about an ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high profile
