In a major development in the House ongoing probe of the deep state’s October 2020 effort to suppress revelations from Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,” a former senior CIA official has testified that he organized an influential letter from former intel officials to help Joe Biden “win the election” — and was inspired to do so by a call from current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was then a top Biden campaign official.
Mike Morell, who was at the time a former deputy director of the CIA, says he also coordinated with the Biden campaign on strategy for the letter’s release. Word of his revelations comes via a press release jointly issued by the chairmen of the House judiciary and intelligence committees late Thursday, first reported by the New York Post.
Before diving into the new information, let’s briefly recap what was already known...
On Oct. 14, 2020, the New York Post reported that Hunter Biden exploited his father’s position for personal gain — with the apparent knowledge of his father. The story — which drew on emails on a laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop — undermined Joe Biden’s denials that he’d communicated with Hunter about his international business schemes.
Five days later, 51 former US intelligence officials issued a public statement assaulting the Post story, infamously declaring that it had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” and solemnly declaring their conviction that “American citizens should determine the outcome of elections, not foreign governments.”
In his testimony, Morell said he organized the letter for two reasons — to “share our concern with the American people,” and to “help Vice President Biden…because I wanted him to win the election.”
An Oct. 2020 Morell email to Brennan’s former chief of staff Nick Shapiro indicates the Biden campaign told Morell that the letter should first go to a certain Washington Post reporter — who hasn’t been outed yet — and that the campaign should get the letter too. Shapiro ended up first delivering the vessel of politically-motivated disinformation to Politico.
After the debate in which Biden used the letter in his defense, Jeremy Bash — former CIA chief of staff, husband of CNN’sDana Bash and now an MSNBC “national security analyst” — coordinated a phone call to Morell from Biden campaign manager Steve Richetti, who thanked Morrell for his handiwork.
