You have a point but it cannot be denied this is all very convenient for crafting a narrative by a deep state that has been non-stop false flagging us for the past four years. Now that the CIA media parrots are coming out and saying it is Russia makes me immediately suspicious. Based on what evidence? Here we go again...
The gov't always finds ways to abuse perfectly legitimate processes when they see a justification for it. That's why we should never allow systems or processes to exist without regular oversight -- like the FISA system. Who knows how many more people the DOJ would have railroaded had the Russia Collusion Hoax not uncovered the abuses, criminal acts and complete failure of the FISA process going back long before Trump was a candidate.
Secrecy to protect against our enemies is necessary, but secrecy to operate in a corrupt fashion without fear of detection needs to be monitored for and the culprits thrown in prison.
All you need to know about the leadership of our intelligence agencies has already been made public -- by those leaders themselves. Some 50 former intelligence agencies' officers signed a statement before the election saying the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco and all the accusations about Hunter and Joe getting rich in Ukraine, China and Russia through influence peddling "had all the earmarks of Russian Disinformation."
Talk about making statements without evidence!! Now it's officially announced that there have been multiple investigations into Hunter, Joe and Joe's brother and their corruption in those countries, plus money laundering, income tax evasion and a slew of other possible crimes. Hell, Joe's on camera bragging how he interfered in a criminal investigation against the Ukraine prosecutor investigating the firm that hired Hunter. Now there are messages in the news where Joe is explicitly talked about in regard to Hunter's business dealings and how it's probably illegal to be doing it.
Yeah, the intel community could overthrow the government and install their own leaders to run it without anyone ever knowing what happened. If I had to make a bet on it, I'd bet it's already been done .... and more than once. The Deep State, Shadow Government, or whatever you want to call it has been an open secret since the Cold War began.
Ever watch the 1975 Robert Redford movie, "Three Days of the Condor?" Reality is often stranger than fiction.
