Whistleblower alleges CIA offered officials money to change view of COVID origins
Fox News ^ | 9/12/2023 | Brooke Singman

FIRST ON FOX: A CIA whistleblower told Congress that the agency offered officials on a team investigating COVID-19 origins "significant monetary incentive" to change their positions, from that it originated out of a leak from the Wuhan lab to "unable to determine" the origins, Fox News Digital has learned.

Fox News Digital obtained letters House Coronavirus Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner sent to the CIA and a former official.

"The Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have received new and concerning whistleblower testimony regarding the Agency’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19," Wenstrup and Turner wrote to CIA Director William Burns Tuesday.

So the highest levels of the CIA were apparently trying to bribe their own investigators into concluding there was no way to determine the origins of COVID. Doesn't look to me like they'd take that much effort if there was simply an "accidental" leak of the virus at the lab. Rather, this compellingly tells me that the thing was deliberately concocted by Fauci and the Chicoms as a political germ warfare weapon to use to defeat the Trump presidency. Not really surprising, since in their earlier history the Chicoms murdered about 60 million of their own people. Also our American leftists, thinking just like the Chicoms, would have no problem doing that at all with a germ warfare weapon that could change the regime, which it did.

Has the CIA done anything good in the last 70 years?

Why is this CIA treason a surprise? It’s what they do... they’re NOT on our side.

There is that name again.
Using the "kids are awfully quiet" theory, there is one sector of government that has been fairly quiet over the last eight years, and is not mentioned by orgs like CNN (but I repeat myself on the latter).
Not a lot of conversations about Moderna either. Or Ft. Detrick.

Lets just say Truman's regret appears to be justified.

..."significant monetary incentive" to change their positions, from that it originated out of a leak from the Wuhan lab to "unable to determine" the origins, Fox News Digital has learned.

I suspect this isn't the first time CIA police state thugs have paid off their own workers... or protected China or protected democrats goons. Or bullied citizens who stood up to them... A statue to the founding of the American Police State Hellhole will likely be a CIA thug. IMHO

When half the government is on the Chinese payroll and much of the US business sector depends on Chinese sourced resources and labor... and the Chinese communist party is divided into opposing factions as well, it is easy to see why there would be a lot of effort to cover up the release of a biological weapon - first trying to convince everyone it was natural, failing that, that it was unnatural but accidental... because anything else would require we do something about it, and that is unthinkable after failing so miserably to do anything lasting about the last attack on the US.

I don’t know, but I wonder if there is any CIA agent, anywhere on earth, who can tell the truth?

This is a load of BS.

Gary Webb was murdered for revealing CIA drug running.
Julian Assange has been jailed for revealing secrets of the deep state.
Edward Snowden has been exiled for revealing secrets of the NSA.
Seth Rich was murdered for revealing secrets of the deep state.

If you think the CIA will allow this “whistleblower” to waltz into Congress and spill the beans without taking him out first, you have not been paying attention.

Wuhan is story they tell to hide the real story. Covid was created at Fort Detrick and was intentionally released on us to accomplish a number of deep state goals.

I read the article and could not find any dates for which “Covid Origins” review is involved (there have been several), and when the bribery attempts occurred. Dates would tell us who was in charge of the CIA and that particular investigation, as well as who was President, Director of National Security, National Security Advisor, and Sec. of State at the time.

After who dun it, we have the question of motive:
1) Didn’t want to ruffle China’s feathers;
2) Didn’t want the American people to get riled up that the govt DO SOMETHING to punish China or hold China accountable for the trillions in costs and millions of fatalities.
3) Didn’t want people to start asking about WHO FUNDED THE LAB;
4) Didn’t want China to retaliate by leaking ore evidence of US involvement in funding a bioweapons program based in CHINA. D’oh.
5) Hunter was on the Board of the Wuhan Institute of Virology... (joke);
6) Something else I haven’t thought of, probably involving money and grifting.
