For Michael Morell to fabricate a letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation” to (his...”Read full review »

“With all of the indepth Taiwan discussion - there was no discussion of how we should help Taiwan avoid the fate of Hong Kong. All of the CCCP promises to keep HK’s political freedom was broken and replaced with brutal repression as soon as Xi was able.
Did Michael avoid or just miss this question??”
