Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said then-candidate Joe Biden wrongly made the letter from 51 intelligence officials claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation “seem organic” despite allegedly knowing his soon-to-be State Department chief helped “strategize” it.
The letter, signed by 51 individuals — including Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan, Bush-era CIA Director Michael Hayden, former DNI James Clapper, former CIA chief of staff Jeremy Bash, former acting CIA Director Michael Morell and former National Intelligence Council Chair Thomas Finger — asserted the laptop had “classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Morell testified before Jordan’s committee and that of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, that then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken was “the impetus” behind the October 2020 letter’s inception.
“When the story came out on Oct. 14, 2020, about the ‘Biden business operation’ and whether then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved, there was some concern that he was — then quickly it turns into this political operation — that letter that became the basis for suppressing the story and keeping it from the American people just days before the most important election we have,” Jordan said.
“The 14th, the [New York] Post has a story. The 17th, Tony Blinken… contacts Mike Morell and gets him interested in this. Mike Morell looks at it the next day, organizes on the 18th all these other people to sign the letter. The 19th, the letter goes out.”
Jordan added Morell concocted the letter in time for the NBC presidential debate on Oct. 22 because he thought then-President Donald Trump would bring up the laptop issue, which he did.
Morell and Blinken wanted a statement Joe Biden could use to rebut Trump’s likely allegations, “because, as Mr. Morell said, they wanted [Biden] to win,” he continued.
The laptop indeed did come up, to which Biden cited the letter, and Trump wondered aloud if the public was to believe the laptop was therefore another “Russia, Russia, Russia [hoax].”
Jordan later claimed Biden Presidential Campaign Chairman Steven Ricchetti called Morell after the fact and thanked him for his work.
“It was a total political operation, and the most important fact is [the letter] was false. [The laptop] wasn’t Russian disinformation. The laptop story looks to be true.”
Jordan and host Laura Ingraham said Trump’s stated concern the letter was politicized turned out to be correct.
“The way then-Vice President Biden did it was he made it seem like it was organic — and understand it was choreographed all the way,” Jordan added.
The chairman further noted the 51 officials’ names on the joint letter were accompanied by their current or former titles, giving the document the “imprimatur” of accuracy.
“That’s the scariest thing of all,” he said. “And that letter became the basis for keeping this information from the American people.”
So was Blinken’s cabinet job a reward for this? Pay for play? Wonder how many others have big jobs as a thank you for sweeping something under the carpet?
Makes me wonder how humanity got into the fix it is in, Most of our systems are engineered to defeat us, WHY? How can one man get into a position of control and instigate other countries into wars and deceit? Then this one man is coerced and led by a group of dishonest individuals who care only for themselves and no one else.
and he is still in the house for what reason???????????
Okay, now that the cat’s outta the bag about the “Letter from Hell” for the “Laptop from Hell” , What’s gonna be done? Why is it that all this evidence is piling up all over the place and no one seems to have the balls to start impeachment proceedings against Biden and his minions. If this had been ANY OTHER COUNTY heads would have literally rolled from the guillotine and the predesesor would have been reinstalled as president. All parties involved would have been dealt with fatally. WTF is wrong with our country and the people running it? FJB LET’S GO BRANDON. TRUMP 2024
