dan hoffman is a fox news contributor and joins us now. dan, my most interesting story of the day. i thought why didn't you tell us a long time ago here. so, this letter went out, famously know, and what the basic finding was that the hunter biden laptop story has "all the classic earmarks of a russian information operation." you had this letter circulated to you, they asked for your signature, you said no. why? >> right, i remember. i got the letter october 18, 2020, and at first glance it seemed natural to lay the blame at the kremlin's doorstep. vladimir putin is in the kremlin and well-known for cloak and dagger espionage operations. but, at the same time, there was no evidence and the letter noted no evidence. it was a very convoluted story. a laptop found at a store in delaware, and i remembered cia we would task our sources to get more information and i felt the fbi could do the forensics and it was not up to us to speculate. i did not sign the letter. i typically don't put my name to other people's words. my wife was late in her third year of fighting cancer and i did not h
