A groundbreaking revelation was made Thursday when a top officials said that a group of former spies were encouraged by Biden campaign officials to write a letter in 2020 that falsely claimed Russia was responsible for leaking emails from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.
Former CIA Director Michael Morrell told the House Judiciary Committee that he put together 50 top intelligence officials to sign the letter claiming Russian disinformation after a conversation he had with now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The letter “had the effect of helping to suppress the Hunter Biden story and preventing American citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election,” Republicans on the committee said.
On October 17, 2020, Blinken reportedly contacted Morell to discuss a New York Post story about emails found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. Morell said that Blinken sent him an article that suggested the FBI was investigating whether the laptop was part of a “disinformation campaign.” Blinken’s communication prompted Morell to draft a letter dismissing the email release as a probable Russian disinformation operation, which he forwarded to former CIA Director John Brennan and others to sign.
Morell also testified that the Biden campaign helped plan the letter’s release and expressed a desire to provide it to the Washington Post. The letter was eventually published by Politico on October 19, with the headline “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”
There is no evidence that Russia played a role in the release of Hunter Biden’s emails, which provided insight into his business dealings with China and his struggles with addiction. A computer shop owner has claimed that he gave copies of the laptop’s contents to reporters after Hunter Biden abandoned it at his store in 2019.
Morell admitted that he had organized the letter to support Biden’s election campaign.
Morell said the letter had “two intents.”
“One intent was to share our concern with the American people that the Russians were playing on this issue; and, two, it was [to] help Vice President Biden.”

Time for sleepy joe to resign immediately or failing that to face charges of the magnitude of Watergate
Paragraph 1 and 2 do not say the same thing.
Because paragraph 1 is a Republican lie.
Can you say “in kind contribution”?
Cause I can
The swamp at its finest.
We have our finest and then there is the swamp.
You pat my back and I’ll pat yours
Bombshell?? Actually, really sloppy leak by Jordan that selectively quotes Morell’s testimony. If you read other portions of the Morell transcript not included in the letter you will see that when
Morrel was asked “When he (Blinken) called you, did he direct, suggest, or insinuate in any way that you should write a letter or statement on this topic?”, Morell responded that he did NOT. When pressed further by Jordan’s staff about whether Blinken, had said “the campaign could use some help on this,” Morell responded that Blinken “did not say that.” If you are going to leak, at least get the story straight and not engage in this amateur hour stuff. The leaker should be fired and the Republicans should hire some competent political pros.
Wow! Is there ANYONE that can be trusted in this country anymore?! On ANYTHING?
I hope all Bideneers enjoy the results of his horrific policies to the fullest extend!
He is destroying the country because he knows that “We the people” did not vote for him!
He knows he would have lost without Deep State interventions.
not sure a jew from these America will fit into Israel…..they don’t seem to know how to vote or do what is necessary …….may they sharpen their wits and come home….America is sinking and not worth the human rescue…it is all from above
Question: “When he called you did he direct, suggest or insinuate in any way that you should write a letter or statement on this topic?”
Answer: “My memory is that he did not, right. My memory is that he asked me what I thought”
Question: “It wasn’t. The campaign could use some help on this. Could you …”
Answer: “He did not say that.”
Question: “… cook up something we could use.”
Answer: “It is not my memory that he said that.”
What did the leaked emails even show?
And what does Hunter Biden have to do with the utter failure of republicans to demonstrate morality on a basic level?
Can you please stop showing us those faces, it’s getting unbearable, I’m sorry these sociopaths don’t deserve my attention. What are your thoughts about Kennedy?
I am a registered Democrat and an unregistered liberal. I want to know the truth about Hunter Biden, including his laptop and why he was paid so much money by a Ukraine company when there is no evidence of his having expertise in the subject he was paid for.
This situation is “a game of nerves, a mockery, and yet another reflection of the fact that Washington clowns are not only not to be trusted, they are simply not worth listening to.” However, all their crimes will be remembered ( illegal bio labs in ukraine, unlawful experiments worlwide, calling Israel biggest experimental lab in the word: did we become rats now?.. stock of nuclear weapons with no consent of the residents around, the list goes on and on…) !
Former British prime minister Boris Johnson referred to himself as “the Fuhrer” and “the King” as he sharply criticized his former chief adviser Dominic Cummings, according to excerpts from a new book ‘Johnson at 10’ published on Sunday by UK newspaper The Times.
Thanks for the commenters who explained everything – so, Blink’n called to discuss that true allegations are russki propaganda but did not in any way hinted or suggested that M writes a letter, despite noting that it (the letter) would be helpful! I feel better now. I am still worrying a little about all the wire transfers to Hunter form Russkies and Chinese, please tell me something soothing about that. Thanks in adance
