One of the 51 signers of the notorious Hunter Biden laptop letter was a consultant on a controversial movie that depicts the U.S. military as incapable of stopping a nuclear attack, Just The News reported. 

Larry Pfeiffer was the senior director of the White House Situation Room for President Obama and also served as chief of staff to former CIA director Michael Hayden, an outspoken Trump critic who also signed the infamous letter.

Hunter Biden laptop signer

The Hayden Center, where Pfeiffer serves as director, describes him as "a highly respected and recognized expert in the areas of national and homeland security policy, crisis management, intelligence strategy, analysis and collection, overt and covert operations, and budgetary matters."

Pfeiffer signed on to the infamous letter on the eve of the 2020 presidential election that claimed, without evidence, that authentic e-mails from Hunter Biden's laptop had "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." While the laptop's authenticity is no longer disputed by serious people, the letter had the effect of suppressing the New York Post's bombshell story on the Biden family's business dealings in China and Ukraine.

Pfeiffer has continued to claim that Russia had some role in the laptop saga, which unfolded after Hunter abandoned his computer at a repair shop. The notorious letter was organized by former CIA director Michael Morell, who is fellow at the Hayden Center, to provide Joe Biden with a "talking point" to use in a debate with President Trump.

Pentagon criticizes movie

Pfeiffer served as an adviser for the Netflix movie House of Dynamite, which depicts a nuclear doomsday scenario that the U.S. is powerless to stop.

In the movie, the U.S. missile defense system fails to intercept an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) of unknown origin that is armed with a nuclear warhead. The fictional president, played by Idris Elba, is pressured to issue retaliatory nuclear strikes without knowing where the missile came from.

The Pentagon has criticized the movie's alarming portrayal of defense capabilities. In an internal memo, the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency said its interceptors "have displayed a 100% accuracy rate in testing for more than a decade," while in the movie, the accuracy rate is chalked at 61%.

Some defense experts have also criticized the movie's portrayal of the stark choices the president is given. Joshua A. Schwartz, an assistant professor at the Carnegie Mellon Institute for Strategy & Technology, wrote an article for the Modern War Institute at West Point arguing the movie depicts a "false" dilemma, and that “the time pressure placed on the president and the recommendation by key military officials to conduct an all-out nuclear counterstrike are nonsensical."

Director has an agenda

The director of the movie, Kathryn Bigelow, has been clear about her desire to spark a debate about nuclear disarmament.

“We are our own villain,” Bigelow told the The Guardian. “Of course, the challenge is this is a global problem. Climate change is the same. But we have to act. And I would say a first action is to see this issue as your main responsibility when you vote.”

Senate Democrat Ed Markey (Ma.), who helped author the Green New Deal, wrote an article for MSNBC claiming the movie exposes a "brutal truth" about missile defense capabilities and the need to reduce nuclear stockpiles.

Pfeiffer also defended the movie's realism in a recent podcast appearance.

“The statistics they cite in the movie – I think you have the deputy national security adviser at one point saying it’s a 61% kill ratio – is the honest to God truth," he said.
