The Russia Hoax Orbiting Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is So Much Bigger Than Blinken
The Federalist ^ | 4/27/23 | Margot Cleveland

Posted on 04/27/2023 7:21:55 AM PDT by CFW

Antony Blinken represents neither the beginning nor the end of the info ops run to convince voters the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Revisiting the contemporaneous coverage of the laptop story in light of last week’s revelations about Blinken reveals the scandal extends far beyond the Biden campaign and involves government agents.

Last week, news broke that a former top CIA official, Michael Morell, testified as part of a House Judiciary Committee investigation that Blinken, now-secretary of state and then-Biden campaign senior adviser, had contacted Morell to discuss the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story.

Blinken and Morell reportedly “discussed possible Russian involvement in the spreading of information related to Hunter Biden.” According to Morell, Blinken’s outreach “set in motion” what led to the public statement signed by 51 former intelligence agents that falsely framed the laptop as Russian disinformation.

This revelation is huge — but it’s only a start to understanding the scope of the plot to interfere in the 2020 election by framing the laptop exposing Biden family corruption as foreign disinformation.

The corruption by our intelligence agencies is becoming more apparent as each day goes by. The fact that Morrell, Blinken and others have not been arrested shows that the leadership in every single federal law enforcement agency is corrupt and a part of the plot to cover for the Bidens and take down Trump.

To quote Hillary Clinton, Merrick Garland, the New York Times, and numerous additional sanctimonious lefty hypocrites: “No One Is Above The Law.”

Their motto is actually, “No democrat is under the law.”

It is not new, but now they behave with brazen arrogance and show no fear of being exposed...almost like they know we can’t do anything about it.

Look who turned up again... in association with these 51 former Intel officials...

The Compass Rose guy Zaid from the Haditha Marines case, etc...

Snip:
“...In fact, according to attorney Mark Zaid, who represents several of the signatories, “when the draft [statement] was sent out to people to sign, the cover email made clear that it was an effort to help the Biden campaign.””

Yes, it is bigger than Blinken...

Mark Zaid, the lawyer for some or all of these 51 signatories, is a partner of the art by who represented the so-called whistleblower in another attempt to get Trump that involved Adam Schiff.

Book reveals secret meeting between Adam Schiff’s aides and Ukraine whistleblower attorney
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 9/30/2022 | DAVID M. DRUCKER
Posted on 9/30/2022, 9:27:43 PM by bitt

Claims by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) that he had no contact with the intelligence community whistleblower at the center of the first impeachment of then-President Donald Trump are disputed in a new book.

In Unchecked: The Untold Story Behind Congress’s Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump, authors Rachael Bade and Karoun Demirjian reveal a meeting between the whistleblower’s attorney, Andrew Bakaj, and lawyers working for the House Select Committee on Intelligence. This occurred in the run-up to the fall 2019 launch of an impeachment inquiry into Trump over allegations he demanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to initiate corruption investigations into now-President Joe Biden in exchange for U.S. military aid already promised to Kyiv....

It ain’t a crime if all the people who could charge you with the crime are part of the conspiracy.

In that “whistleblower” case, where it was claimed Trump was colluding with Ukraine against Biden by allegedly holding back aid to Ukraine until they investigated Hunter... and Andrew Bakaj and Mark Said were representing the “whistleblower” ...
it was the group of former Obama staffers who formed American Oversight at the root of that effort.

‘Coup has started,’ whistleblower’s attorney said in 2017 posts calling for impeachment
Fox ^
Posted on 11/6/2019, 5:04:03 PM by janetjanet998

Mark Zaid, one of the attorneys representing the whistleblower at the center of the Democrats’ ongoing impeachment inquiry, tweeted conspicuously in January 2017 that a “coup has started” and that “impeachment will follow ultimately.”

Then, in July 2017, Zaid remarked, “I predict @CNN will play a key role in @realDonaldTrump not finishing out his full term as president.”

Zaid, a/k/a Creepy Porn Lawyer, was supposedly Eric Ciaremella’s attorney too.

“The corruption by our intelligence agencies is becoming more apparent as each day goes by.”

It’s a Government of the Government, by the Government, for the Government. They want your money, not your opinion.

They ABSOLUTELY are now above the law, and the PERSECUTION of Trump, without anything happening to these people, proves it.

I suppose it is like a thief judging another thief.

Blinken (WestExec Advisors) is one thread tied to the purse strings pulling Biden.
