It is irrelevant period whether or not the CIA and FBI regard it otherwise.
The relevant part is not necessarily Hunter Biden. The relevant part of this whole story is that the CIA and FBI are willing to conspire to interfere in elections. Forget the name Hunter Biden. Fill in the blank and make the story about anyone you like. The point is, THE story is that the FBI, CIA, social media companies, and the mainstream media all conspired and spread disinformation to attempt to influence the results of an election, and that is beyond the pale in a supposedly healthy democracy. I just don't think you care that much about democracy, being a pretty big authoritarian and all, which is why you probably actually like that the CIA and FBI interfered in the election. Because you think the ends justify the means.
I bet you share Sam Harris' position on the matter. Sam admits that the Hunter Biden story cover up absolutely was a conspiracy to attempt to force Trump out of office, and Sam says that the ends justified the means. If this is your true position, Helios, and the democratic process is just not that important to you, then just say it. I'll respect the honesty more, just like I respect Sam Harris' honesty when he came out and admitted that it was all a big conspiracy, and justifiable at that.
