The former head of the CIA, Mike Morell, recently acknowledged his role in "helping" Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election by coordinating 51 spies to debunk incriminating emails found on Hunter Biden's notorious laptop, as reported by RadarOnline.com.
This revelation comes as House Republicans investigate President Biden's alleged involvement in his son's foreign business activities. Morell testified before the House Judiciary Committee that he assembled 51 spies to write a letter in October 2020, dismissing the emails found on Hunter's laptop as Russian disinformation.
Morell's testimony indicates that the plan began "on or before" October 17, 2020, when current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who was then a senior official in Biden's campaign, contacted Morell about the New York Post's explosive article linking then-candidate Biden to Ukraine. Blinken reportedly emailed Morell a USA Today article stating that the FBI was investigating whether the Hunter laptop story was part of a potential Russian "disinformation campaign."
Morell then enlisted retired CIA Senior Operations Officer Marc Polymeropoulos to help him create a letter discrediting the Post's story connecting then-candidate Biden to Ukraine. Morell eventually collected a total of 51 signatures from intelligence officials.
The letter, published by Politico on October 19, claimed that the story published by the Post days earlier exhibited "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." During his House Judiciary Committee testimony, Morell allegedly stated that he organized the letter to "help Vice President Biden" and "because [he] wanted [Biden] to win the election."
In light of Morell's recent testimony, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Michael Turner wrote a letter to Blinken on Thursday. The two GOP congressmen stated that they are examining "the origins of the infamous public statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials that falsely discredited a New York Post story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop as supposed Russian disinformation."
The letter continued, "Subsequent reporting revealed that the New York Post story was not, as the public statement claimed and then-Vice President Biden parroted, part of a ‘Russian information operation.’" The letter also claimed that the Biden campaign played a role in the statement's origins, which helped suppress the Hunter Biden story and prevented American citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election.
Jordan and Turner have requested that Blinken provide all "documents and communications" related to the October 2020 letter and the identities of those involved in the letter's "inception, drafting, editing, signing, publishing, or promotion."
