CNN had former CIA director, Secretary of Defense and congressman Leon Panetta on to discuss Russia’s claim that Ukraine tried to assassinate Vladimir Putin via a drone attack.
Panetta sensed a “false flag” operation from Russia:

However, it’s important to keep in mind that Panetta is among those whose track record on “disinformation” claims isn’t all that great:
Did he sign the hunter laptop letter?

Why, yes he did! Panetta signed the infamous “Hunter Biden laptop stories are likely a Russian disinformation campaign” letter:
So naturally CNN keeps having Panetta (and others) back in spite of the fact that the letter was BS invented for Biden to reference during a presidential debate shortly before the 2020 election.
Maybe @jaketapper and Panetta could coordinate a letter signed by 50 former Intel officers to express this idea.

Yeah…he thought the same about Hunter's Laptop …(?)

Leon signed a letter about a laptop that was already in FBI hands and copies of pictures and emails were spread across the internet as Russia disinformation. He has zero credibility on this.

The lib news media outlets just keep having these same people on and presenting them as “experts” instead of political activists pushing Dem agendas.
@jaketapper mocks those who question election irregularities while he takes seriously a clown who said Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation. LOL. https://t.co/UC0GSJFYZ8

The problem with signing a letter expressly written to give political cover to Joe Biden is you have no credibility left when you need or want it. https://t.co/ffJX47HVsr

The only credibility the people who signed that letter have left is with the lefty media.
