Ex-CIA chief spills on how he got spies to write false Hunter Biden laptop letter to ‘help Biden’
New York Post ^ | April 20, 2023 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 04/20/2023 6:11:29 PM PDT by Lakeside Granny

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign prompted former acting CIA director Mike Morell to “help Biden” by organizing 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 falsely claiming that damning emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop published by The Post were Russian disinformation.

In private sworn testimony, Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that Antony Blinken, now Secretary of State, was the senior campaign official who reached out to him “on or before” Oct. 17, 2020, three days after The Post published an email from the laptop suggesting Hunter had introduced his Ukrainian business partner to his father, then vice-president Biden.

Morell, identified as a potential CIA director under Biden, said he organized the letter to “help Vice President Biden … because I wanted him to win the election.”

Until Blinken’s call, Morell told House investigators that he had no intention of writing any statement exonerating Biden.

But he agreed that the conversation with Blinken “triggered … that intent” in him.

At 10.53 p.m. the night of the call, Blinken emailed Morell a USA Today article claiming that the FBI was examining whether Hunter’s laptop was part of a “disinformation campaign.”

At the bottom of Blinken’s email was the signature block of Andrew Bates, then-director of rapid response for the Biden campaign.

Morell said he ​​did “a little bit of my own research,” and then reached out to retired CIA senior operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos for assistance in compiling the letter discrediting The Post’s reporting.

Over the next two days, Morell gathered signatures from 51 former intelligence officials, including himself and four other former CIA directors, including John Brennan and Leon Panetta.

Will anything come of this?

Probably not but it is nice the TRUTH is finally coming out.

Maybe it will help the Demonrats get rid of the Biden Crime Family for good.

I'll put that on my wish list.

Election tampering of the most pernicious kind, and yet the guy who posted an obviously satirical meme is facing jail time — and these ‘people’ are free as birds.

Probably not. It’s a good guess the FBI and other hired guns have been calling the shots in D.C. for a long time.

Like Schumer said, “”You take on the intelligence community? They have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you”

The message could not be any clearer.

Sounds like XiDen is being thrown under the bus....just as Diaper Dictator is getting ready to announce his run for re “election”.

The cover up is worse than the crime BUMP!

But only if you are a pubbie, Demonrats not so much.

IMHO the only reason Biden is going to run is to try an insulate himself and his Crime Family.

Jill worried, must be pushing him into running.

If the Demonrats really don't want him to run expect a whole lot more to come out.

Yep. That’s right. No Slow Joe for 2024.

This is just the Democrats’ way of getting rid of him.

They are laying the groundwork for Biden to not run in 2024 and clear the way for Newsom. They will drop the Hunter investigations if Joe agrees to not run.

Lindsey Graham was all over the TV saying it was Russian Disinformation, in fact, he said he didn’t want to see it.


What an Opposition Party!

“Morell, identified as a potential CIA director under Biden, said he organized the letter to “help Vice President Biden … because I wanted him to win the election.”

Congratulations.

Are you now enjoying the higher gas and grocery prices, inflation, the open border, higher crime rates, the corruption and tyranny, the administration and the country being the laughingstock of the international community, an emboldened China?

“NEWSOM’S past isn’t so snowy white”

True enough. However the media will paint him as the man with the golden touch.

I thought of that too, but how do you figure they get around passing over the first woman vice president of color?

So this guy admits to election interference which was prompted by the Biden campaign and specifically through the current SOS - who will all get away with this - and the guy who makes a MEME is going to jail.
