America First Legal Sues the Federal Election Commission for Refusing to Charge Biden Campaign and DNC for Illegal Collusion with the Intelligence Community in Disseminating the Infamous “Letter of 51”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, America First Legal (AFL) sued the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for refusing to charge Biden For President, the Biden Victory Fund, the Biden Action Fund, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after they failed to report direct and indirect contributions and coordinated communications made in connection with the infamous and debunked “Letter of 51” to the FEC.

On October 19, 2020, 51 anti-Trump former intelligence officials issued a public statement decrying reports of a Hunter Biden laptop that contained debilitating information about presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son as “Russian disinformation.”

As AFL reveals in today’s lawsuit, the public statement was drafted by Michael Morrell at the request of Biden campaign staffer (and now Secretary of State) Anthony Blinken. This statement was then used by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden during the October 22, 2020, presidential debate against Donald Trump.

The facts revealed in AFL’s lawsuit show that the public statement by the 51 former intelligence officials was not only incubated by the Biden campaign but was also used to generate earned media for candidate Biden.

Internal emails from the Biden campaign reveal that the purpose of the public statement was to influence the election between Biden and President Trump. Because Biden campaign resources were used to generate and disseminate the public statement, and because the public statement was disseminated in the media at the request of the Biden campaign, federal law requires public reporting of the costs and beneficiaries of such coordinated communications.

Glad to see at least a mention of this somewhere. It isn’t the MSM, but...it is somewhere.

99% of the citizens of this country have no idea that letter was manufactured as a political tool by Joe Biden’s campaign manager at the time.

And we just heard the other day it was Leftists behind the AI Generated robo-call to New Hampshire voters telling them not to vote for Joe Biden, I guess for two reasons:

1. To get people to cross-over and vote against Trump

2. To blame on Republicans as a dirty trick.

The incident, the reasons and the perp have gone into the memory hole on that one, never to be heard of again.

Editorial: Spies who lie: 51 ‘intelligence’ experts refuse to apologize for discrediting true Hunter Biden story

"They are the supposed nonpartisan group of top spies looking out for the best interest of the nation.
But the 51 former “intelligence” officials who cast doubt on The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president. And more than a year later, even after their Deep State sabotage has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election."

This was my #39 to the cited thread...

"Look at the whores who did respond. Their acknowledgment of their complete lack of probity -- and Hepburn practically brags about his own ignorance -- means the deep state needs removal" (or 51 Congressional subpoenas).
Don Hepburn, former national security executive, now president of Boanerges Solutions LLC:: “My position has not changed any. I believe the Russians made a huge effort to alter the course of the election . . . The Russians are masters of blending truth and fiction and making something feel incredibly real when it’s not. Nothing I have seen really changes my opinion. I can’t tell you what part is real and what part is fake, but the thesis still stands for me, that it was a media influence hit job.”
Jonna Hiestand Mendez, former CIA technical operations officer, now on board of the International Spy Museum: “I don’t have any comment. I would need a little more information.”
Emile Nakhleh, former director of CIA’s Political Islam Strategic Analysis Program, now at University of New Mexico: “I have not seen any information since then that would alter the decision behind signing the letter. That’s all I can go into. The whole issue was highly politicized and I don’t want to deal with that. I still stand by that letter.”
Greg Treverton, former National Intelligence Council chair, now senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies: “I’ll pass. I haven’t followed the case recently.”
Well well well... here are 4 subpoenas that ought to be a f---ing hoot.
Dumb Hepburn now lists himself (ed. note: circa Dec. 2022) on LinkedIn as "Mg Partner" of something called Senile Solutions Company Former Company LOFL. Joking but just barely. Can't wait to hear from him, although JK Rowling might want to get a protective order against this delusional white knight...
Jonna Hiestand Mendez, this old broad was a mustache-and-spirit-gum disguise 'expert'. That was her employment. Mistress of disguises. I mean, she's another hoot waiting to happen in front of Congress. Perhaps she will answer her subpoena in a wig and mustache herself. She is a fugly old Karen who likes to hear herself talk. Don't discount the possibility she may hand the GOP an ammo dump.
Emile Nakhleh is such an important spy genius he was banished to freaking New Mexico 8 long years ago. He holds himself out as a "Consultant" on LinkedIn -- so enjoy your renewed infamy answering this GOP Congressional subpoena, Mr. Consultant. In other words, lawyer up pruneface.
Greg Treverton says, "I'll pass." Wonder why? Wikipedia: "Treverton was implicated in a dispute with Oxford University Press and a former graduate student regarding his 2015 book National Intelligence and Science: Beyond the Great Divide in Analysis and Policy. Oxford University Press found that Treverton had plagiarized a substantial portion of a chapter in his book from white papers by the graduate student, who was eventually named a co-author of the chapter." Why, Plagiarizing Greg is near and dear to Biden's heart!
