Why did the FBI investigate Hunter Biden's emails as a Russian operation to spread disinformation rather than about Hunter's "corruption"?

Question

Why, it's almost as if those e-mails either didn't contain any evidence of wrong-doing by the Bidens, or they just plain don't exist. When faced with competing explanations for a phenomena, the one involving the fewest assumptions is usually closest to the truth.  Over 50 former intelligence officers signed an open letter stating the emails behind the story bore "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Update:

@ken, yes, we do trust our intelligence community.  Unlike your puppet in our Whitehouse, we trust OUR intelligence community over yours there in Russia.

Rudy Giuliani brought it up. In case anyone hasn't  noticed Giuliani has become an incompetent clown since teaming up with Trump.

How many people, opposed to Trump, would keep unflattering pictures of themselves performing illegal acts on their computer and then bring it to an ardent Trump supporter for repairs in state on the opposite coast?  The whole story stunk up the place from the very beginning

Answer 2

You're assuming that the emails were actually written by Hunter Biden and were not a collaborative effort by a team whose members had first names like Alexi, Dmitri, Vladimir, and Ivan.

Answer 3

Why do you think Rudy is making a public fool of himself daily?

He needs a preemptive pardon or he is gonna do serious time over this blatant attempt at foreign interference. 

And Sloppy Steve as well. 

Answer 4

Does anyone trust the FBI or CIA anymore?
